Before I started using Myfitnessbal I was 53 kg (117 pound) then I started using it a week ago in the purpose of losing weight but I have gained. Now I'm 55.6 kg (123 pound) :/

I don't know why!

    Hi Lucan07,

    Now THAT is a FANTASTIC read! All very true, and after starvation diets, weight watchers and now low carbing, I realise it is as simple as calories in VS calories out. I still do the low carbing (for medical reasons) BUT it wasn't until I joined MFP and
    watching the calories too that I started losing the weight I thought I couldn't budge! I have my bad days eating 'unhealthy food' but, as long as I keep within the amount of caolries I've been alloted, then I lose weight.

    Now....do I have any choccies left...Hhhmmmm :D

    ManaarTalaat - the weight increase could be water, muscle, storage of food...time of the month? Or a combination, there is a chance in a weeks time you've lost it. At 117lbs give or take a few, I doubt you need to lose any weight unless you're very very short. Look at your weight on a monthly basis rather than weekly, as the scales can do funny things.

    No, I don't need to put on weight. I need to lose weight. The weight gain is in the Stomach (My belly). I'm so confused.

    Actually before I used MFP 65 kg (143.3) but I have lost 12 kg since the 20th of June. Then I found out about MFP and I thought it may help me lose weight but it didn't though.

    I'm thinking about quieting this website. I don't know.

    And It's not the time of the month and Yes I always drink a lot of water like 14 glass per day.

    But my tummy looks so huge (since I have gained those 6 pounds), leave alone thighs.

    Sounds like you need body recomposition rather than weight loss. So, you need to exercise more I would think to get in a better physical shape.

    Yeah maybe you're right.

    I walk (30-60 min) everyday. Plus, I'm a senior student and doing hard physical work makes me exhausted that I can't concentrate on my studies.

    5'6"?
    Girl, I am 5'4" and 3/4 (Yeah, I like the 3/4...) and my ideal weight, says a doctor is around 130lb.... You might want to change your goal/plan... I dont see how much calories you are taking, but if the tummy is the issue, at this weight and height, there's nothing a good abs routine cant do!
    Just eat well, less carbs (They can make you feel all bloated) and work that tummy!
    Dont think about the weight now!

    I'm only 5'5 and my goal weight is just under 140lbs. You say that doing anything physical makes you too tired - this is a sign that you are not eating enough. I train 5 days out of 7, run a busy household and also study but still have lots of energy.

    I dont think you need to lose weight but instead concentrate on getting fitter and building muscle tone.

    Hmmm so it's about needing to do more physical work then.

    Okay so I will start working on it. Thanks for the Help.

    I really appreciate it :smile:

    No, 1200 cal is perfect for me. You see I have a type of body that could fat easily.
