Weight loss fluctuates. :) You might be retaining water, ovulating, etc. Relax. Keep at it, and the scales will do down.

Well done! <3

True. Coat your carrots in a little bit of honey before roasting them. OMG Delicious. Also, restricted diet or not, Heinz tomato soup with a ready salted crisp sandwich is the official lunch of the Gods. :) I hope the experiments with the new foods go well. The lentils in particular will make a huge difference in terms of…

Amazing. I'm so sorry you lost your mother. But I'm glad you're feeling great and looking good. Well done.

How much do you have to lose? 2lbs a week might be way too ambitious unless you have a lot of weight to shed.
-
Not what you want to hear, but 2 weeks isn't really a plateau. More of a stall. :) I think the general MFP definition of a plateau is 6 weeks with no movement on the scale. But that being said, it is still frustrating. @Lietchi has given you some good advice. Just keep being consistent and accurate with your logging and…

Just a heads up: The OP claimed to be existing on 600-800 calories a day in a recent thread. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10837320/help-cant-loose-weight/p1 So I can understand why they might be spiraling about eating 3000 a day for a couple of days. I'm hoping they took everyone's advice to increase…

WOW! Where are the flame emojis when you need them...?

@middlehaitch Yes, I live not too far from The Kelpies and I absolutely love the big metal lads. :) Big fan of the Falkirk Wheel as well. Some very snazzy engineering around these parts. @gorple76 Oooh, I hope you enjoyed some extra treats on your maintenance day! I did! And I think I'm going to do that once a month. It…

I LOVE this post. Congrats on your success! <3

Welp, I'm out... I don't think we're going to be able to help you. You asked for advice, and you got some. But you're not taking any of it on board. You don't agree with the experts at the NHS. You don't agree with any of us. You're not using MFP the way it is meant to be used. And the stats you're quoting don't make…

You put on 70lbs in a year. That is a hell of a lot for someone who doesn't have much of an appetite or who is happy to exist on vegetables and tiny portions of chicken... :) So, you clearly DO have an appetite. It's just currently suppressed. It's not uncommon for people who start a Very Low Calorie Diet to temporarily…

Hey Ben. Fellow Brit here. Why on earth are you eating so little? You are literally starving yourself. Apart from being incredibly bad for you, it's also not a sensible or sustainable way to lose the weight. You're setting yourself up to run straight back into the arms of the local kebab shop. A toddler needs between 1,200…

You don't need to do any exercise to lose weight. :) You just need a calorie deficit that is sustainable for you. Exercise helps you look/feel better and will slightly increase your calorie deficit, but it's food that will make the biggest difference to your weight loss. And don't assume that the calorie burns on the…

Abbey has a history of disordered eating, but I believe it was on the orthorexia side of things, rather than the overeating/overweight end of that spectrum. I think her advice on intuitive eating is probably more helpful for those who need to relax more about their food choices and not feeling like they need to eat…

I has mine taken out a few months ago. And I have also had digestion problems ever since. Happens in something like 5-10% of cholecystectomy post-op patients. We're just among the unlucky ones! Not super fun, but also a LOT better than dealing with incredibly painful gallstone flare-ups. OUCH. :s After a bit of…
