Help me please

This is just my opinion but I this you need more nutritious food. It's not all about being within calories, but also choosing the right foods. Add more veggies and proteins ( either lean meat or beans or something ) things like dominos and stuff can be okay in moderation, but not too often, they are just "empty calories". Choose more wholesome foods expirement.

Hi Rose, firstly if you think your birth control is having a big effect on your weight then you should go to your gp and talk to them about it and see if you can try a different one. They have different effects on different people and its important to find which is best for you (I've seen friends transform into crabby *****es or gain loads of weight just for being on a certain pill for a few weeks)

I had a quick look at your diary, your calorie intake is defiantly low, although not hugely healthy. Try and get your calories from healthier sources like fruit, veg and all those boring things. Also in terms of quantity youre not eating very much, its likely that your metabolism is low. Try to get in a couple of healthy snacks a day without reducing your meals.

Oh and one tip for the gym- I finally learnt that rather than bopping along to music on the cross trainer for half an hour at a comfortable pace, its way more effective to work your butt off for 15 mins until you think your legs are going to fall off, cool down, then do it again.

Im no expert and I'm new to this site but looking at your food diary it seems like your eating habits are A LOT like mine used to be. hope this helps! x

I agree with the others as well. Also, try cutting out the booze and substituting it with fruits and veggies.

Hi I'm at uni doing Human Nutrition I am in my final year and am new to this app (2 days). If you eat out a lot are you acurate with your calorie intake? Also, I agree food should be varied with focus on fruit and vegetables and carbohydrates are important but should come from slow release sources so cutting out refined and choosing wholewheat varities. Also if you are going to the gym you will be 'replacing' fat with muscle so maybe that is why you appear not to have lost weight, so what about going by measurements rather than just weight as an indication.

Since it appears you eat out a lot, the amount of sodium that you are consuming could be holding you back. Plus eating out means that you don't know how things are prepared, so the amount of calories you think you are consuming could actually be a lot higher than you think. Also, I found that the more I ate out the less I lost and that I actually gained weight. I have starting eating more fruits and vegetables and preparing most of my meals at home and keeping close track of what I eat. When I do that the weight is coming off.

I see very few fruits and vegetables in your diet. I would stay away from eating out so much and if you are going to have sweets, try find some healthy alternatives. Simple changes will help the weight come off.

As for drinking, I have a glass of wine 3-4 nights a week and it hasn't hindered my weight loss. However, I only have one glass at night. Any more and I find it slows my weight loss progress down. Can you just have one beer at night?
