    While I'm no expert as I'm just beginning my journey, I peeked at your diary. The first day I looked at you had lots of leftover calories. The second day you didn't drink (or log) water. If everything I've been reading on this website holds true you should 1) eat all your calories, and 2) DRINK LOADS OF WATER. Are you getting enough sleep? That seems to make a difference too.
    Just my 2 cents.... good luck.

    Keep at it! You CAN do this!

    Hi, thanks for the advice.

    I drink loads of water, definitely more than my 8 cups a day. I'm just too lazy to log it as I know I do it.

    And I don't actually sleep enough. I find it hard to calm down and sleep at night and i have to get up early for work. I've never heard of that making a difference before though.

    Sleep makes a BIG difference. You should be getting at least 7 hours.

    I heard about free health care, thats awesome , and dont let no one tell you YOUR perfect weight, When I was really thin I wanted to lose weight, and people were like "your already skinny" that was when I was 18-20. Now That Im 31 and need to lose 30 lb. I understand both sides. Losing weight is 80% diet 20% exercise , Try eating different (if you can) cut out small things, you dont have to give up everything. but you dont need junk, icecream on a sunny day is perfectly normal ( I love it) as long as its not everyday. I wish you the best .

    Don't worry - in the UK there's no danger of that happening!

    hahaha, enjoying ice cream on a sunny day in the UK only happens about 12 days out of 365!!!! Loving the UK weather right now :)

    I have the same problem, I exercise a lot and am struggling to loose my last bit of weight, I'm switching from cardio to weights to see if that makes a difference, also what MFP calculates as your calorie allowance a day might be incorrect, you could try upping your calories? especially as you work out a lot

    Yeah I've thought about that and I have heard it works (for some people at least), I'm just terrified of it not working for me and putting on even more weight.

    It's so beautiful outside at the moment! I can't wait to leave the office and cycle home!
