Ok so it says currently 212.3lbs then next to it says "trend 212.6lbs"

I downloaded the libre app. A bit confusing but what does the trend stuff mean? Also should I keep eating As I am or should o lower the cal intake? It's at 1500 right now.

Think I had searched for happy scale but didn't see it. I'll try look for the other 2

I gained those 2lbs back though so it's technically 4lbs in 3 weeks. I was losing the weight better when I was eating less food. The only reason I upped them is because every one is saying I'm under eating. How do I get rid of my water weight then? I know one thing I'm terrible with us drinking..

1st time: lost 24lbs roughly and one day I woke up with horrible pain and throwing up. The pain was so severe I ended up going to hospital. Turned out to be kidney stones! My fault for not drinking. I do blame my diet because I cut fizzy drinks out and I hate water so o barely drank. I fell off the band wagon from there.…

I took a pic last week so I can compare in a month. I did this before and noticed difference. I'm not worried about the scales now because I'm alot more confident thanks to everyone here. I'm gonna be patient now and just keep going. It's not even just about losing the weight it's more about my lifestyle. A healthier one…

@tinkerbellang83 thank you I like the sound of that! So I'll change up a few bits so I won't get too bored as you're right I'll need a way of eating that'll do me the rest of my life. And I don't wanna get bored eating the same stuff :)

@TavistockToad thanks ok I will most likely get bored eventually so I wanted to try different food. It's just when people are divided on what you should or shouldn't eat I get confused. Like people said don't eat rice then others says you can eat a small portion. Now I feel I want to cut rice out completely and add more…

@ESJ4444 yeah thankfully I manage to get decent sleep :) I know I will lose weight it's just it's been delayed for longer than I had thought so I'm abit paranoid thinking I'm doing something wrong and if I am I want to correct it :)

I gave exactly the same information to MFP and the other one also. I selected the not active bits . It's just a big difference with both of them and unsure which I should stick to. I'll happily add exercise if I managed to eat around 1500 though. I'm not sure what kind of foods to eat, I find it the hardest to do is know…

@ESJ4444 thank you that made me feel better thanks. I need to hide those scales away so I'm not so tempted I knew it would deflate me. I'm guessing I'm too impatient! :)

Yep it's so addictive. I told myself once a month. Ended up doing it everyday. Ok so i looked up a calculator thing and apparently to lose weight I can have 1600 cals to eat!?? Why did MFP tell me 1200. It sounds like I'm under eating. So I have now changed my cal intake to 1500.

Never had if but sounds yuk lol White chocolate

When you use the app do you need to to have internet access? I always only use wifi in my house. Also I have a Samsung galaxy 6 is that compatible :) @happytree923 Thank you @brightresolve it's not too bad then by the sounds of it. :)

That's the one I was looking at. It's alot of money for me so i want to be certain before I make my mind up. Thanks for replying :)

I looked up earlier to find any answers and found a calculator specifically for trampolining. That may be better than nothing maybe

@cucumbear wow that's so close ha. Awesome

Thanks I've been living in Somerset for about 8 years now. I moved from n.ireland to here to be with my other half who's from Somerset. We're in between Taunton and Yeovil pretty much lol. @cucumbear thanks I've tried it abit and it's hard work but that's a good thing I suppose lol :)

You're doing better than me with 2 glasses of water. I'm alot worse. I literally have 3 drinks a day. Tea, juice and juice. Before it was a tea and diet coke. That sounds bad but for me that is pretty good. As before I ended up with kidney stones but drinking less than a cup of water per day. I find it so hard to drink…

Yes of course! But with that unfortunately bad foods are higher in calories so you won't be able to each as much of those foods and then you'll end up hungry unless you do ALOT of exercise you can give your self some more cals to play with. I have done this a few times if I had a McDonald's I literally could only eat…

I'm at my heaviest as well but because I barely leave my house due to social anxiety. When I made dinner my portion sizes were way too big and it was usually foods like spag bol, chicken Korma, chips and chicken or something. That was my main problem. When I make my food I literally stick it on a smaller played. Like the…

I need to lose a good 6st I think that's around 100lbs? Would love to be friends!

Hey! I'd love new friends for motivation

Bump

I have lost over 24lbs of weight not exercising at all. Just by eating alot better. If I don't have the motivation to do exercise I won't because if I feel I have to do it I'll lose my motivation and it's quite depressing for me. But I do know exercise would be a huge help to keep you feeling fit and it's helps to lose the…

@TheMrWobbly thank you it worked!! I didn't know to do that

Ok thank you I'll give that a go now :)

I don't exercise at all at the minute because I have social anxiety so I'm gonna try the trampoline too see how that goes. Just little bits at a time so I don't pass out as that has happened before when I did 5 minutes of exercise too fast and stopped suddenly ended up fainting lol

Eat over your calorie limit lol.. there's other threads that will answer that as I'm not an expert :)

I'm around 215lbs not really close to your weight but I wanted to say I know exactly how you feel about how embarrassing it is on rides. Last year I barely fit in to 2 of the rides and i almost gave up with one of the straps barely shutting for me. It was embarrassing but managed to get it to click. The other ride it blood…
