Due to a broken incisor, toothache, and having the tooth taken out yesterday, my food intake has obviously been limited, only 800 calories over 2 days. Being human I couldn't resist getting on the scales this morning. I was hoping for a weight loss, something positive to come out of the last two days, but no I had remained the same since I weighed myself on Monday morning. Am I wrong to be disappointed???

    Talk about getting kicked when you're down. But you did lose. You burned more than 400 calories a day just by breathing. But it is frustrating. My weight loss always seems to stall when I am trying to get into the next lower decile. (like right now)

    Thanks Lecoman much appreciated. If I am using 400 calories daily by breathing, that means I was totally calorie free for the past two days, zero. Yep frustrating. I take it your next decile is into a lower stone range? I wish you the best of luck, you know with perseverance it will happen.
