Rabbit You clearly know way more than I do, and I will increase my daily activity to see if that helps. Thanks Jean x

Hi Ooci and Rabbit Thanks for the advice and encouragement. Unfortunately weight lifting is not something I enjoy, to be honest. I would 'power walk' all day long. I think I have gained more muscle by walking. Jean xx

Ooci Sorry didn't answer the question about Thyroid! No I haven't had it checked, but I have checked the symptoms on-line and I don't seem to have a problem with my thyroid, although my Mum does (not sure if it's hereditary) Jean x

Hi Ooci You totally get me!! I love that. I unfortunately hold all my weight around the butt, so 3 lbs can make a lot of difference. It won't alter my dress size, it will just make the dress look al little looser. Jean x

Hi Rabbit I think anybody trying to lose weight will always go by what is on the scales!! In fact that is how any 'weight loss programme' like MFP determines what calories I should consume daily, you are always asked to enter age/height and weight. I will gain a huge amount by losing that 3 lbs. I was a goal I set myself…

There are a couple of items there in the last two weeks. The vermicelli was a container that I split over two days. There was no other way for me to measure it!! and the lentil soup and peas, I know a US cup size is UK equivalent to 240mls, so I halved that quantity.

Hi To be honest, I have altered the calorie goal now! I just thought it would make a difference to my weight loss. On the days I do exercise I always seemed to be under the 1200 calories anyway. Jean

Hi I am weighing ALL my food and even 'tweeking' the grams to make sure I'm spot on! I think I have my diary set at public !! Can you get In to see what I am doing? thanks Jean
