The only way people would gain weight is by eating too many cals. My mum did exactly this, her gallbladder made so Ill she only ate mashed potato, bananas and yogurt for most of the time. As soon as she had it out, she was eating fish and chips high fat foods she couldn't eat before because of the gallbladder, and of…

It depends which plan you're on? On some plans it's free, so jacket potatoes, veg etc, fruit isn't.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2958478/Bodybuilders-desperate-bulk-turning-BREAST-milk-online-risking-health-staph-infections.html I've just seen this. breast milk apparently.

Can anyone still not see it? It's been set to public for a while?

I don't understand, on the privacy sharing it says public?

Pasta being 'free' on Weight Watchers. My friend was on it and literally filled up every meal with a huge plate of pasta and free veggies, only pointed her sauces etc... You can guess the rest.

Technically it does. If we are cold are body raises our core temperature, this requires calories. Though it's negligible, and you would need to drink gallons of water to burn a calorie.

I have PCOS and have lost 3st 9lb without cutting carbs. I'm now trying to cut them and up my protein. It's probably a logging problem, do you weigh your food? Do you ever cheat? If thE answer in no then you must be in deficit and you will lose weight eventually it just takes longer and more determination and consistency.…

I've just checked and my diary is Defo open? I have it set to lightly active. I'm a mum and student. I walk 3 miles a day to the gym and back and don't log these cals, I have a jawbone and usually do my 10k steps. I have 1370 cals on sedentary it's 1200 and with the exercise I do it's just not enough. I'd rather raise the…

I can't not keep going, it's a way of life now. I'm going to stop completing my diary as I never weigh anywhere near what it keeps telling me I will in 5 weeks. I'm also laying off the scales. I weigh myself twice a week and hate it when you don't lose for a couple of weeks. I'm just going to keep at it, log everything and…

I've never taken measurements, I have some today. I didn't think I'd lost any inch wise this past 6 weeks whilst I've only lost 3lb. But I put a belt on that I was on last notch and I'm over an inch over that now. I can't get my head around losing inches but not weight!! I actually really wish I had taken before fat photos…

I'm really strict with my logging, I log everything even drinks and weigh everything on digital scales.. My diary is open. I can't possibly be eating to maintain as I exercise a lot and only eat 1370 cals. It must be the recent increase in cardio and adding strength training that's doing it. It seems physically impossible…

Thanks guys, I don't really get munchies after exercising, but I have breakfast then usually swim over lunch as it's the lane swim, then I walk the mile and half home so don't get lunch usually until 2pm, I have breakfast before 8 so usually have a quick snack when I come out of swimming to keep me going.... I walk past…

Sorry I thought it was open. I'll open it now.

I had steroids for a long time after I had a pulmonary embolism and a collapsed lung. I had repeated infections so had steroids more or less for 3 years, those combined with giving up work because of the illness made me gain a lot of weight. It's all coming off now though. I just admit, like I'm others I'm concerned about…

But I'm not losing weight as it is, I eat around 1,370 a day, on some days when I've swam 2 hours or had a class for example I feel hungry and eat more. Usually never more than 1,609 cals. I think if I ate more, I'd put weight on.

I always think MFP over estimate swimming, I have a fitness tracker but it isn't waterproof. But i still don't don't eat the exercise cals back, so any exercise calories is cals in the bank, so if I stick to my calorie goal, you'd still expect a loss? I've just started strength training, aerobics once a week and a class…

I'm in the UK and we have 35m pools. I put in slow and easy effort when calculating calories. I swim for a minimum of one hour 15 mins, I'd say I do 11/2 hours every other day and then 2 hours alternating.

And MFP a calculated my burn at 700cals an hour swimming. I only eat exercise cals back if I'm really hungry and have swam for 2 hours, or say swam for an hour but had a 12km walk, and then don't even eat half of them back. It's not usual to eat them back though.

Thanks. I'm so frustrated though. I started last Feb and had lost 3 stone by July, then just to-tied between then and Decemebr, mostly my own doing, I'd diet a week, not for a week by Dec I'd put 9lb back on, which I lost over Dec, but since Jan 1st it's been just 3lb and I'm trying so hard. I've been there and done all…

It's a 35m swimming pool, I think I average about 65 lengths an hour so about 2,275 m. I usually swim for an hour 15/30 mins. Now I sometimes do 2 hours too. Same pace.

I've Lost 52lb but I honestly don't feel like I look any different. Logically I know I must look different but I don't see it. If anything I feel fatter than ever. It's psychological because weight loss happens over short periods we don't notice the adjustments, and because it's something we want to do - lose weight we are…

I agree with the leggings bit. I've given up on jeans they just don't last long enough (lost 50lb) I've been wearing leggings and tunic tops or vests and cardigans. Stuff I can chop and change a lot so it all kinda matches, though to be fair I mostly wear blak colours.. Try sports bras as well, in the UK ASDA do good ones,…

Nothing to add really to what anyone else has wrote, I have lost 50lb and I don't usually eat many exercise cals back. If I'm hungry I'll eat 100/200 or so back, if you don't you may feel like you have zero energy. I just wanted to say well done on losing 100lb that's bloody amazing!!!

Random and probably nothing, it may be worth getting your sugar levels checked if you're peeing in the night and drinking lots. I'm sure it's fine, but you never know, hunger and thist/peeing lots at night can be a sign of diabetes. X

Why haven't i ever thought of just doing that -_- I always track gains wish I hadn't now though, my graph would be a lovely gentle curve! X

Well done on reaching goal. That's amazing.. Love the trend weight, I might look I to that! X

Wow what a neat graph! I'm almost jealous! Mine has more than a few peaks! :-) x

Sorry whats LBM? I do yes, and have used it, mostly treadmill for an hour, bike, rowing machine and then some of the machines for half an hour. I dont know if i have the confidence to work with a trainer tbh :-/

. Exactly this. Even if you have your levels set to sedentary don't include things like housework. Even sedentary activity levels have some activity in them. I don't think 3 hours cleaning is that excessive to be honest, I reckon I can do that most days (OCD much). I only log 'proper' exercise like cardio workouts -…
