    YOu want to build muscle.. Building Muscle = more fat loss.. the scale will come down but you will have bigger victories when your pants sizes change for the better... The number on a scale means nothing .. Don't get all jacked up over the scale..

    Your not eating enough... and I know it sounds ood. If you dont eat enough espically when exercising your body will go into survival mode... and that isn't good for your efforts. It tells your body to store fat to survive and can lead to muscle loss to support the buring on energy. If you do lose weright it is likely to be only a quick fix and will lead to yo yo dieting.

    Sorry, figures relate to st &lb.

    I have been trying to combat water retention by consuming 4 litres of water everyday (having used an online calculator). Does that make sense, if not how long would I have to wait for the normalisation?

    So 17.3 stones to 16.1 is 241 to 225. So you have lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks? Sorry my British math is bad, is that correct? That's very good weight loss if I calculated that right...

    Hi, I have gone from 17.3 to 16.10 so have only lost 7 pounds.

    Oh gotcha, I was reading it as 17 st, 3 lbs to 16 st, 1 lb. I would suggest hitting the MFP recommended calories for a couple weeks and see if that increases your weight loss. Good luck!
