Oh I'm so glad I came on here today. Scales three pounds up. Tears etc. It's obviously fluid. Xxxx

Thank you. I do weigh everything on my digital scales. And log all my food. I'm sure it will equal out in a few weeks. Xxxx

Thanks for all the input x

Agh. Cut my message up again. Grrrr. Good luck for your appointment. Let me know how it goes. Xxx

Oh I'm sorry I didn't see your reply till now. You are doing so well!! Nearly there. Yippee go you. I have to stop being a slave to the,scales. I really do. I've shrunk bit the,scales are stuck or even go up some days. It must be the lymphodema as I am being diligent with my diary. I.dont exercise atm. I have sciatica and…

OK. Feeling reassured guys. Thank you..I use my digital food scales religiously and put in EVERYTHING I eat. So I'm not going to worry what the scales say just yet. I do have fluid problems, well lymphodema to be precise. So it may be that. Also I'm a seasoned yo.yo dieter so maybe my body is saying.. Here we go again!!…

Half my reply disappeared lol. I think I was writing a book lol. I'm down to 15 2 now. I'm sorry you have it too. It's s horrid condition to deal with. How's your weight loss going? Do you find it hinders you at all? Best wishes Mary Rose

Oh I've been yo yo dieting since the big loss which was six years ago. I.did lose another stone but it tool twelve months at weight watchers to lose it! I got very very disheartened and the leader didn't understand the fluid problem. So I left. I maintained my weight at 14 St. For a year then this year the scales kept…

Yes. I was told the less fat I carry the better. And the first three and a half stone fell off. My Dr told me I could be carrying up to two stone in fluid so I.never know how much fat I'm carrying. Oh of course I can see it so know I need to lose more fat. But the scales often don't show much of a loss even tho I'm…

Yes. This seems far more achievable. I've dieted most of my life. But this really puts you in control. Xxxx

Thank you so much for your advice. It's going to help me no end. If any if you want to friend me on here that would be fab too. Really appreciate your input. Xxxx

That worked. On 1430 with my true activity level. Thank you so much Tryett. Night night xxxx

Ah I'll put in a pound then thank you. Sadly I can't exercise much roxie as I have mobility issues. X

Donatello ROFL.. Erm done well. Lol

I'm riddled with arthritis so not really. But I do try. I've donatello in my first week. Lost four pounds. So maybe the 1430cals is OK for now? I was shocked it dropped down by 230 cals a day when I have so much to lose!! X

No 1.5!!

I'm on 1430 a day.?? Be my age I guess. I'm 61. 5.6 and 15.3. Was 15.7 last weigh in. So lost 4 on my first week. X

Thats a fabulous loss. You look amazing. Xxx

Hi mummytobeslim, I think it's OK. Every other diet allows you to carry cals over. As long as we don't binge or cheat it should be fine. I'm not a health guru just a woman trying to lose weight. A few treats here and there make life bearable. Friend me if you like. We can check each others progress and share tips

I didn't use the whole of the calories left over in the end. And 500 of it was in yesterday's allowance any hoo.So had about 250 of my left over cals. So I've lost 4 pounds in my first week. Pleased with that. X

Thank you all for your input and advice. I've taken it all on board. I've been a weight watchers advocate for years! So I'm used to saving then spending calories. This is my first full week comparing the two regimes side by side. I'm allowed more calories on ww. But I like the fitness pal for the nutritional information.…

Thank-you. I've eaten below my calorie quota every day leaving 694 left over before the start of a new week. So thinking red wine
