I came home from work, where i walked 7 miles, i had not eaten since 8am it was 3:30pm, my mum had collected my son from school and popped into the shop and had bought me a chocolate bar, so yes on day one i ate one, i was also a little curious as to what would happen, and seeing as i was at home i thought i’d try it in a…

if you read all of my posts more carefully your confusion of all of the above you’ve said will lessen and there will be NO NEED for capitals. I don’t need help from that kind of response no.

i took your advice and stood back i have looked at people’s responses and stand by the fact that a lot of people didnt listen to me, a lot of people chose certain sentences in long paragraphs of info to attack and patronise me, only two people actually answered my original question, however the positive from it is with…

i have also read that poor sleep effects cortisol, which i could improve, i am always often tired, i easily fall asleep around 4pm each day, another reason i got tested for any thyroid problems, other symptoms such as dry hair and skin, cold, etc could i imagine also be an effect of too much cortisol maybe that would make…

wow interesting read, and yes on top of increasing my exercise dramatically, and a defecit i have also had a stressful year. cortisol and metabolism rate could be a factor. this certainly could explain why weight loss is not as simple for me as it was when i had low activity and looking back low stress levels too. thank…

i don’t care how old you are 31 is older than 17, 21, and 26 which was the point i was making. i swear people go through this thread looking for anything pick out to make out you just don’t want to eat less. i simply questioned if it would make a difference seeing as i lost 3 stone easily before and i can’t now. i lost…

My height is 5 ft 8 I weigh 18 stone currently although most of this year have stayed between 17 stone 7 and 17 stone 12. My fitness pal has calculated my to eat 1600 a day, i eat between 1,300 and 1,600. I work with horses so spend four hours, five mornings a week walking, lifting heavy things, pushing heavy wheelbarrows.…

is this a short term thing as iv been in my active job a year now? or if an ongoing thing how to i get rid of it lol

thanks i have never heard the term diet break, will have a look i use an app called happy scale and log daily. i am 31 now which isn’t that old i know, but the last time i lost weight i was 26 and the time before that 21, the time before that 17, each of these three times i counted calories and each time lost 2-3 stone.…

yep i use to be able to easily lose 2lbs a week on a deficit, this time i am lucky if i lose 0.5 or 1lb a week and it not go back on a few days later, which is frustrating when i’m more careful then ever with my diet and iv increased exercise a hell of a lot. i went to the doctors to check it wasn’t medical and i also had…

as you say salmon is good fat, and the chocolate bar was withing my calorie amount for the day, and after i’d walked 7 miles at work. i had no effects after these on the tablets. my daily total of fat for this day was 54g, 10g under my recommended amount according to MFP

completely agree with this and think the tablets are a complete waste of time, they have had no effect as i don’t have a fatty diet hence why i went to the doctors to see why i wasn’t losing. i think patience is my downfall at the moment i have to accept that when i was younger i could easily lose 2-3lbs a week…

I have come to the conclusion that these tablets are as pointless as looking for support on here so no more advice needed. you tell people you have lost three stone before by creating a calorie defecit and they tell you that you don’t know how to lose weight by creating a calorie defecit... i explained that my body is…

i get what you’re saying i really do, but i just don’t think someone who weighs 18 stone and walks 6/7 miles a day shouldn’t have to weigh lettuce to lose weight, my body just is just a mystery to me, day three no side effects of the tablets, another normal stool, positive is my diet doesn’t contain much fat, negative what…

well so far iv had no side effects but then my fat intake for my breakfast lunch and snack is 15g, this is a normal work day for me iv not cut anything out, and i am at 6.5 miles on my fitbit today so far. i have gone down the weighing food route, at one point i was weighing salad leaves which was shortly before i went to…

i have in the past lost 3 stone by creating a calorie deficit and making healthy food choices, i gained this back on. last year i went from an office job to working with horses, i average 7 miles a day walking, also involves carrying and lifting heavy stuff, i have for a year lost no weight doing this, struggling to find…

it had a leaflet explaining what it is, how it works and possible side effects, as the doctor it instructed to take three tablets a day with each main meal, but there was no detail as to how much fat is ok and how much will get me in embarrassing situations!! i have read in another thread on here recommended in this thread…

that would make sense!!

thank you i will have a look!

All i was told was that if i eat too much fat it will all come straight out, and the pharmacy just said to take as doc said which was a tablet three times a day, maybe could’ve been given more info in hindsight!

thanks everyone for all your advice!! my plan is to increase calories intake to 1800 a day and see how i get on with that. if this amount stops me over eating and still keeps me losing weight then that’s fine, while i could eat more this is still 400 calories a day more than i have been aiming for which is a snack or mini…

have to say i have always done exactly the same and it’s never stopped me losing weight, i did it in the very beginning years ago but after a while you kind of get a good gage at things. i think i need to work out how many calories to eat for the exercise i’m doing to still be in a deficit and lose but sustain it, once…

many thanks for this thought, very good point, my weekly weight loss records is posted above xx

since janurary: week one -4lbs week two +4lbs week theee -4lbs week four -1lb week five -1lb week six -1lb week seven -2lbs week eight - maintain week nine - maintain week ten - +7lbs week twelve -1lbs week eleven - +1lbs week twelve - +1lbs week thirteen -6lbs week fourteen +4lbs week fifteen +1lbs maybe i need to look…

thank you yes that’s a good way of looking at it. i think i definitely need a consistent and sensible 4-6 weeks x

that said on the bright side i have lost 4 inches from my waist, 1.5 inches from each thigh, 1 inch from my calf and 1 inch from my upper arms, i can fasten an old coat i couldn’t before and have dropped a dress size. so at least that’s something. and would indicate i am actually burning a good few calories. x

Thank you for this, i did the same job i’m doing now ten years ago and lost a lot of weight quickly, i didn’t even think about what i ate then at all so assumed it would just be easy this time. a lot of them over eating is frustration from not doing i think. (bad logic i know). i’m also finding it harder to lose weight…

?

i am 31, 5 ft 8, size 8 feet, 250lbs. i have reset my calorie goal to 2000 now, up from 1,400... taking a leap of faith!!!!

i’ll have a look in to it! i think it’s weekly weigh ins that bother me!
