  • I'm not losing weight much either for the last 2 weeks and I'm eating my exercise calories. I'm losing fat off my legs, waist and hips and have lost a dress size but not any weight. It's confusing me what's going on!
  • Sorry I'm pretty new to this! I burn around 300 cals in exercise per day and am on a 1200 cal limit. I know I'm eating at a deficit on 1200 but when I have exercised, should I eat those extra 300 cals? I'm a bit confused about this! Thanks for any advice :)
  • I was hoping not! I've never really dieted before and I just couldn't understand it! Now I know that it isn't just me and that I'm not abnormal so I can continue with my dieting and exercise and hopefully have a pleasant surprise when it's over :) Thank you all for your help, it has really spurred me on and helped me…
  • Haha rabbitjb... I promise to never use that phrase again ;) didn't want anyone to get squeamish (me!!). After 3 children, you would think I would be able to use the usual words for things but I turn into a 13 year old ;) Thank you all for your replies. It's now firmly in my head to continue!
  • My size is smaller from my measurements so it just didn't make sense that I was getting smaller physically and getting bigger weight-wise! Thank you for your reply :)
  • Hi! Congratulations on your new baby! My youngest is 10 months old now and I am finally getting around to losing weight properly. I did try whilst I was breastfeeding but to be honest it wasn't doing me any favours, I was tired and on top of that - hungry. Enjoy your baby and try to go out for a nice walk if it isn't too…
  • Excellent - I'll try not get too disheartened! Hopefully over the next few months I'll expect it :)
  • I'm coming towards the end so that makes sense! Thank you!
