For example I run for 5km which takes me 28mins and that burns 360cals.. Also I weigh all of my food except the second meal of the day, okay maybe this is an extra 50,100,150 cals I'm underestimating but if I'm excersising so much I'd still hope to shift my belly a little. To contextualise my waist measures 27inches, but…

First of all can I say that telling me blindly to eat less is bad and dangerous advice.. if I wasn't confident in myself and my progress I could be starving myself as a result.. So here my last week.. tell me if you think I'm still eating too many calories Sun: 1100 Mon: 1450 Tue: 1600 Wed: 2150 Thu: 1700 Fri: 1250 Sat:…

Pinuplove - CORRECT Panic over everyone - turns out IT WAS MY PERIOD.. just bumped up my weight for the last week and today, back to normal

Is there anything I can do to try keep the water weight off? Feel like my skirts about to burst today, don't know how long this will last..

Thanks for the concern and help everyone By the way had my second session today, and you're right - today was upper body.. not looking forward to my arms tomorrow!! And my legs are pretty much back to normal now - till next time!

Well unfortunately I've paid for a month with this trainer so can't just quit her.. but also I think it's my fault a little in that she wanted me to do a half hour of cardio after as a warm down but I just didn't have the time on Saturday and so just walked home So far today it feels markedly better than yesterday.. if…

I have my next workout with my trainer (which will be a lot of the same I expect) on Wednesday night.. do you think it will help to get back into it, or make it worse?

No antibiotics, no vitamins, I've stopped eating dairy and eggs. I don't take fibre supplements just eat 20g+ a day in my fruit/veg, I definitely drink enough water like 12+ glasses a day and several mugs of green tea also, at the very least I walk 45 mins each day too... I'm still constipated Really really getting me down…

10 weeks - which would seem like quite a while but clearly I'm gonna need it! Haha

I'm sure it's not to do with my diary or excersise I know I'm doing the right thing.. I just need to ha e confidence in it without stressing. As an over anxious person it's difficult not to stress, and I know that's linked to both constipation and inhibition of weight loss.. so just wanted some tips on trying to destress…

In case this helps - I tend to have breakfast at work about 9.30am, and then lunch around 12.30.. I would say I constantly graze on almonds fruit etc in the afternoon and have my evening meal any time from 7.30-9pm depending what time I get home or if I've been to the gym first etc

You know I do agree wth this, I think it's unfortunately a vicious circle as it's hard to not be stressed about it as I feel so unable to control my own weight loss.. I'm going to try to maybe ease off on one of my workouts and try to substitute in more walking throughout the week.. that along with cutting out yoghurt and…

Okayyy so this has created quite a discussion! I'm going to try to continue with 1200 and my three weekly cardio sessions on top. And if after another 2 weeks I don't see any differences in anything - measurements, weight, visually ... I might just break down in tears! I'm going to trial cutting out dairy in case this is…

I think then, as clearly I'm underestimating calories even when weighing, I'm going to have to aim for a lower net goal or maybe 1000 I'll stop eating back my calories from walking too Just can't understand how gym sessions are having no impact especially when you combine it with the low calories (even if it's not as low…

Yep measure everything in scales in grams and convert into calories online if I can't find the ingredient in grams on MFP, then work back in oz on MFP to get to the same calorie amount

To clarify.. I never eat back the calories that I work off at the gym So on a day when I do a cardio of 60 mins, I still just eat 1200 +100-200 from walking But I try not to eat that full amount and go under that net 1200 including walking because some days I go very over on weekends for example, and I need to try to even…

No I haven't seen a doctor as last week it seemed fixed it's only come back today. And everyone keeps saying that my body will take time to adjust to he high fibre which I've been trying to let it do..

Hi guys pretty upset as still struggling. Felt good for a while last week as my constipation had somehow relieved itself and felt lighter immediately. But I took measurements and photos yesterday, and the attached shoes my difference from one month ago (on the left) and now.. and it's absolutely nothing. Like 0.1 of an…

I'm interested to know whether this has passed? I'm in the same boat.. dieting for about a month, the past couple of weeks have been difficult for constipation and now that has passed I'm just super gassy! Hoping it passes .... fingers crossed

Well I'm going to go buy some senekot to take overnight which is a laxative but it's natural.. and I have an appointment to see the doctor next week Hopefully it'll fix before then but it not.. at least the doctor might help! I'll let you all know haha! :)

.... but I am taking measurements and at most I lose like 0.1 of an inch from one area and nothing from the others.. every week Which is pretty poor. And photo wise I look exactly the same to me :neutral:

That's so sad because sometimes I like to fit a glass of wine into my daily allowance as a treat on a weekend or something!! Oh the pain Thanks subcounter I will consider adding a probiotic

Okay so to clarify I only want to lose 9lb, and I am currently around 161lb.. I don't mind about my BMI as even when I was my thinnest it said I was close to the top end of "normal" I think I must have heavy bones or something haha!! I just want to lose inches! So if my logging is slipping and I'm eating more than 1200…

Yeah I try to eat two dates and a kiwi fruit a day. As well as a pear and some raspberries as they're all high in fibre .. yet still I struggle I'll consider going to the doctor if this doesn't get better in the next day or so as it's becoming unbearable

Also in the interest of openness, I suppose it could be contributing to the weight issue that I've been constipated for a couple of weeks now.. even though I'm eating way more fibre and drinking more water I have in the last couple of years.. tips on how to alleviate this whilst maintaining my weight loss plans?

I really don't like coffee unfortunately .. and well I don't want to take any more magnesium as the bottle tells me not to exceed 250mg per day (which is what I'm taking).. it's very frustrating and making me feel ill

Oh I've also started eating 100/150 sometimes 200 cal worth of almonds

How can I increase my fat with healthy foods? Please don't suggest avocado as I hate the stuff haha

I eat a portion of meat/fish every night, sometimes with an additional egg. The problem is I'm trying to lose weight.. so I can't afford to add 300 calories of fat to a diet. Is there any supplement I can take? I have tried to swap around some of my food so I can add in 100cal of nut butter so maybe that might help

Hi there.. I'm in the exact same boat as you. I'm net 1200 and do three hour cardio sessions a week that I don't log or eat back and the scales (or my measurements) won't budge. I weigh everything, I easily drink over a gallon of water a day... it's pretty frustrating. If you find something that works, let me know! I'm…
