    You are not exercising enough - you've got to move and when you're tired, move some more. Sorry, but it's really all it boils down to - exercise for an hour and try to do it every day. Keep it up and remember, even maintaining is better than gaining! Good Luck!!

    no it doesn't

    you lose weight with a calorie deficit, which OP obviously doesn't have.

    In another thread you said you cut carbs and are losing, so which is it?

    I had put on 1.5lb and managed 2 lose that back to my original weight since April!

    There was a post on here about Slimmimg World the other day, someone was saying that it had helped initially but when they were done to the last bit of weight it wasn't working as well.

    You've had a good loss so far though, 17lbs in about 4.5 months, so 0.5-1lb a week on average. With 24lbs to go, I'd set MFP to lose 0.5lbs a week. Obviously try to be more accurate with logging. I'm interested if you've done anything different in the past 2 months? Everyone is saying 'use a food scale', but you lost 17lbs prior to the stall in weight loss, so what changed?

    I know people say exercise isn't necessary, but I lose so much faster with exercise.

    I really don't know? I feel I've been doing the same, I did stop going to the gym as my mum was unwell. I've recently started again so hoping that will help! I've took a few people's advice like re-read my book start again. I'd be happy with a 1lb loss a week, I only want to lose 14lb more anything more will be a bonus. I know a lot of people I've talked to has said it slows down when your near your target. It's just stubborn fat refusing to move lol.

    Maybe you'll notice a loss now you're exercising again. I want to lose about 20 more lbs and it's definitely slower when you're closer to goal.

    What malibu said in the first post. Your main focus shoul be in establishing you are at deficit and keep it that way. You are doing slimming world but as that has its own system uts based on the majority of people being at a deficit, when in fact you could just learn how to control your intake correctly with proper calorie counting and save yourself the money. If you arent at deficit then you wont lose. Simplez.
