I strongly disagree. It's not about when you eat but the number of calories you eat. I work 5am - 8pm and been losing 1-2kg a week even though I save up most of my calories so I can eat a big late dinner with my family.

Feels liberating doesn't it? I think if we can get to a business as usual mentality the next day then fluctuations will never be a problem.

Plan your day so you can swim and do school work. This will be good training for real life - all of us have to balance exercise with parenting and/or work.

Technically Ramadan should have been your month to lose weight so you can kick back and enjoy eid as it was intended. Friend of mine has used Ramadan to kick start her diet - lost 14 pounds. Enjoy Eid, return to your diet afterwards.

I think you should step back from the app and just eat what you need to, to feel good. You can also go to weight loss after you've finished breastfeeding.

Is she constipated or does she have IBS? That can cause weight fluctuations in my experience.

It's possible your body shape's changed or that you've lost muscle definition as you've let yourself go a bit. Happened to my mum - went from a pear to an apple. Meant she could fit into a smaller clothes but she didn't look better (she actually looked much flabbier even though it was only a 10 pound gain).

I gained a kilo over the heatwave (yesterday was horrible) whilst still eating to target so I'm inclined to agree it's water rentention. We do tend to get it bad in the UK because our houses (and offices) are built for cold, wet weather. So a house with carpets, no air con, and insulation, can feel like hell in a heatwave.

Also the lower BMI level applies for all Asians, not just Indians. It's because Asian people carry more fat in proportion to muscle. It's why we age so much slower. But if you don't carry your weight around your middle and don't have an increased diabetes risk, and are weight training, then take it with a pinch of salt.

I roti made at home without butter is usually 200-400 calories. Your typical single Indian meal with 2 rotis, sabzi, rice and dal is often 1000-1300 cals and that's without pickles or butter or yoghurt. That's a single meal! Strongly suggest that if you are eating Indian food you cook from from scratch and weigh the…

If you're anemic (either as a result of B12 or Iron deficiency) then you can have serious cravings. But you need to see a gp before you start supplementing as too much could harm you.

I wouldn't count the calorie burn you get with horse riding. I personally wouldn't log it as exercise either. You should take the fitbit off when riding the horse

It could be IBS. One of the things IBS can cause is slow motility/constipation. I used to feel the same. My only fix was to ensure I ate dinner no later than 6pm and then went for a walk afterwards. That seemed to get things moving. I was also advised to reduce my fibre intake and then increase it again slowly with a lot…

I have a Charge HR. It's really, really accurate.

I have pcos. GP has recently taken me off metformin but I'm still losing. I have to be really strict though. I didn't go low carb - but restrict my calorie intake over all instead.

I would eat the meat without the bread, and load up on salad and low cal drinks.

I try to substitute my cravings. So icecream gets subsituted by low calorie fruit lollies. Milk Chocolate by the 90 per cent dark chocolate that makes me gag after one square :)

I mostly eat back my fitbit calories and am still losing 1kg a week. Fitbit works on intensity of the steps, not just how many steps you've done. So if you did 8k steps really quickly you will burn more calories than if you slow ambled them across the whole day.

The frame size test only works for people like me who had 5 inch wrists even when morbidly obese. It wouldn't work on people who put weight on their upper body. Suggest you just use MFP without all the faff.

I use sweetner in pancakes. Doesn't give me cravings.

Seems low carb. If your diet was high in processed carbs before, you would have lost water. You'll find weight will fluctuate now as your body tries to get used to a low carb diet. The minute you eat a slice of bread or rice you'll gain. It'll be harder to maintain long term too. It's why an all round calorie restriction…

7 years ago I started at 200. Dropped to 180, maintained this for 7 years, and am now ready to drop the remaining 20.

I personally think you're eating too much. I'm eating 1500, very active, and just about getting a weight loss and I'm 7 inches taller than you. Try not eating back exercise calories and staying at 1200 and see how it goes. They are only an average guess anyway - and inaccurate for most people below average height.

I'm 5 7 - to maintain 180 pounds I was eating 2k calories (very active).

Instant oatmeal isn't any more instant than regular oats. I microwave my steelcut oats (from a Scottish farm, so as unprocessed as they come) in 1-2 minutes with milk.

Walk slower but longer. I'm pear shaped - running didn't transform my body, walking 5-10 miles slowly did as I was able to sustain it long enough to get the 200-500 cal burn.

I have a fitbit charge HR. Small wrists - that's the only one that looks decent on me.

Really depends where that weight is. Around the waist/boobs might incur a seatbelt problem. Regardless if you have a heart problem you won't be allowed on any rollercoaster.
