Didn't even read this advice on the site - until I logged a weigh in today - perhaps should have paid attention to it sooner. Taking your measurements can be an even better gauge of your progress because when you burn fat and build heavier muscle, your weight may not change or even increase even though your body is tighter…

Thank you - I never expected the barrage of messages on this site, OMG. Its like opening up an avalanche, and most people only read a tiny but and then go to town on it. Thank you for your positive and helpful advice.

thanks for the positive suggestions everyone - appreciated. and ONCE again, I have been doing this for THREE months not a week, just online for a week. I will take all tips on board, including the weighing issue etc.

thanks for the link. Very interesting reading later tonight. I always thought it was a crock of crap that a person eating too little does not lose weight - I mean - that's not even logical. I think my body is just really efficient at existing on what I do per day on 1200 calories, it perhaps needs to go lower to shift…

thanks so much. It is as if my body is just really comfortable at 60 - it just will not shift, I have certainly toned up and added some muscle although just barely visible, my hips and thighs have reduced, but as for the scales - well they just don't budge. Its becoming a competition for me just to beat the scales, just…

47, height 157 (just) weight 60.25 kilos, current weight fluctuates between 59.5 and 60.5, its up and down depending on time of day when I weigh, and I only weigh in once a week. Goal is to get below 54. I was 50 kilos my whole adult life, then one child saw me at 54, then next child saw me at 56, now third child (shes…

a salad that consists of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, celery, and mung beans - cut up on my benchtop and placed in a bowl - no matter what size the bowl - with nothing added to it - contains zilch calories - in fact its almost calorie deficit - it takes a body more energy to process then what the food contains - I don't…

I LOVE YOU and Thank you.

I do log correctly and I am Healthier then Healthy - my meals are usually rasberries, blueberries, fish, salad, greek yogurt, lean meat, organic chicken, mung beans for snacks, lots and lots of salad, I drink black tea and soda water mainly, and an occasional beverage with guests on public holiday weekends etc. I am Very…

water is a good one. I do feel heaps heavier in the afternoon and OMG before a period I put on literally 3 kilos without changing anything in my diet or exercise. I do not drink a lot of water, I do drink a LOT OF TEA. I don't log Tea in my diary as I do not add milk or sugar - but I do drink about 12 cups a day. I use Tea…

Yes - been doing this for 3 months in a book diary, just switched to online last week. Its always the same, I rarely ever go over 1200 calories a day, in fact I am usually way under.

Thank you - so does this mean that adding MORE food will do what? increase metabolism? obviously when you eat very little but do not drop anything on the scales, the thought of eating More scares you - as I think - well I am eating so little and NOT losing actual scale weight, doesn't that mean eating more will put on…

Fillet steak small palm size, NO ADDITIVES or I would have listed them. i small Banana, actually smaller then one listed - I ALWAYS underestimate to allow for any calorie difference. Salad - AGAIN if I had of had dressings etc I would have listed it - salad consists of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, mung beans and celery.…

your problem is that YOU HAVE Fresh Brownies and ice cream in the fridge. get rid of it girlfriend. Run down the back yard and chuck it over the fence and go back to bed. Try to only include healthy options when you do a grocery shop, and low calorie high nutrition snacks so you don't have to torture yourself. and if the…

just do clarify - my daily Gym workout means weight machines and a whole lot of squats, planks, and push ups, so I am doing something that would build muscle and yes - muscle is forming quite quickly. -

OK you people really get excited about this sort of thing. Muscle vs fat aside and all of that stuff. My problem could be calories sneaking in as pointed out - not all brands etc are the same. Example - I logged a Mcdonalds Skim Milk Latte because at the time I couldn't find just a plain home made skim milk latte from my…

one more thing - my body fat has dropped according to the measuring thingy the GYM uses. so I am losing cm's and I am losing body fat. Just not actual weight on the scales. - which annoys me.

Thanks - and I opened my diary (I think) - and Yes I know my diary is not an indication of the past three months etc as I have been keeping a written diary, didn't think of going online until the past week. I also tend to eat 90% of my calories at breakfast, I do not eat Dinner, I am a BIG meal skipper and always have…

OK for the food scale. Will try this. Many thanks for help people

only eating a serving - palm size of my hand (and my hand is small) and Yes I am relatively short (157cm) small frame.

No - my food day looks like - 2 pieces of fresh fish fillets grilled, kale, abby spinach, a banana, garden salad and a palm size of grilled chicken breast. water. tea. skim milk coffee. - 100% nothing hidden or extras. -

how? what do you mean? (Newbie)

rich dark chocolate - and just two small squares enjoyed with a glass of Red or a cuppa - once a week - then you sit there and enjoy without feeling gulity, take time to eat it really slowly - the massive antioxidents do you good, the wonderful smell and taste of real chocolate does you good as well- and then the next day…

keep going dont give up ! it will happen. Maybe try to include green tea in your day, I find that I do not snack if I sip on hot green tea and it also containes tons of antioxidents and does in fact give you a lot of energy. Its worked for me this week and I have lost weight plus felt better. So far the only way I have…
