Driving me mad

Thanks for all the posts, i honestly didnt see what i was doing, when people say diet i automaticaaly believed you should reduce the calories to allow your body to lose weight, as eating to many calories got me to the stage where i want to lose, when i started i ate between 900 -1200 calories a day then in March i went on a stand still with my weight loss so belived i should drop the calorie count again to lose more weight. To me this was the logical thing to do.

I understand now that this is not the way and i will now up my calorie count to what it was when i first started i know people are saying it should be 1200-1500 but for me that is to much of a jump so will aim for around 800-1000 a day with three times a week exercise.

I will let you know how i get on and again im sorry if i have offended anyone with my post it was not my intention to

Love to you all

For most of the people who have responded I don't think they are offended just concerned for you and your health. I hope you can take some of the advice and use it to your benefit. My diary is public - feel free to have a nosy - it is public for that reason. I am by no means perfect in my journey but I do eat a pretty balanced diet and I have recently increased my daily cals because I stopped losing (I increased from 1200 - 1600 because I was netting around 1100 cals a day but didn't realise it). If you need something to up your calorie intake as others have said eat nuts - 50 grams of plain cashew nuts are about 300 cals. I am still struggling a little bit but I am netting about 1200 - 1500 a day now - weigh in day tomorrow for me to see if this has made a difference. Take care xx
