I have been researching the Coil and the arm implant constantly for days. I'm getting a consultation to decide which to have next Friday. The pill is messing me up big time right now. My cycle is in a mess. Anyway, I have never seen weight gain ( other than water ) as a likely side effect. Can I ask a serious question…

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who cant help but weigh daily. I like to get to grips with the spikes. But I see where your coming from, I'll try to stick to the tape measure as much as possible!
-
I really need to learn what costs me what so I log every.single.bite. Even if I only have that 1/6 garlic baguette and it takes me over it gets logged. This way, if I don't see enough loss, I can re-evaluate the week or month and will know exactly where I went wrong. If my logs aren't honest I'll just be wondering how the…

I sometimes have " lean " days myself where I really see my new loss. Then a few days later I feel as if I look a stone heavier again. I think these aren't " results " this early in the game, but your having a hydrated-very-well sort of day. :-) Stick to this new regime, as its obviously working for you. Your looking GREAT!

When my size 12 jeans got too snug. I was pretty much wearing pyjamas all day and going out in one pair of joggies because that was all that fit!

WOW. Great reading and well done for scaring him off so well.
-
Thank you. Well last night I had a little extra at dinner and tonight I'll also aim for 1300. Gradually upping a few calories a day until I hit 1500-1700 by next week. If I just jump into it and see that gain I'll panic.

Taken 5 mins ago: Id say 7lbs wouldnt hurt. :/
-
I assure you its not dismorphia. hehe, but some people assume it is. I'm going upstairs to take a picture. Not to be " pushy " but I want people to see what 7 stone looks like on a tiny body. One more thing I feel I should also say ( and again, really not trying to sound aggressive, I appreciate EVERY post in this thread,…
-
Understood. I will be sure to aim above starting today then. Who wouldn't want to eat more? hah!
-
I'm 4ft 8. So although 7 stone seems a bit crazy, I can assure you I'm still rather chunky! I'm child -sized. I would need to hit around 6 stone to be underweight. So I'm aiming for 6.5-ish. Yeah, I'm doing the 1200 thing. Is that ridiculous? I reset my page to 1500 a month ago but have still YET to go for it. I'll have…

Aw **** just got real...

@RBXChas - How lovely! I know many people who have told similar stories, and I always find them very heartwarming. @Dbroerse - Epic. You really should have told your Bro it was something horrific. Just went back to bed with wide eyes and stayed silent over his questioning. haha Ok now I will tell me own story. It doesn't…

I ADORE this thread! Had to make myself a tea once I got into it so I could continue reading with maximum pleasure. haha Two stories involving the night my Mum died. ( neither involve me ) I've not been that lucky. haha 1: My older sister gets a call at 3am. ( why is always 3am that *kitten* goes down? ) Mum had died…

I agree that eating out in the UK is also hard but me and my family were in shock in Florida, the first night we ate out. I ordered steak and chips ( I was very short, slim, and 14 years old so didnt need a large portion ) and when my plate arrived my older sister who had taken us asked if she could cancel her meal, so we…
-
Aw I know this one! I started a whole new portion based diet plan in June. Whereas my boyfriend simply switched from Pepsi to Pepsi Max. That was it! lol Still eats sweets, and at least 3 packets of crisps daily. He loses 2.5 stone in 3 months, and I have made several huge changes, have a VERY active job, and only lost 1.5…
-
Aha. Makes perfect sense! Thanks!
-
Absolutely! I've recently felt stuck at 98lbs for what seems like forever. But when I look at the graph I see I've actually lost just over 1lb in less than a week. Compare that with my naughty snacks all week and I'm doing well actually! Its wonderful to have figures to look up when you get a little jaded about it.
-
I was originally on 3lbs a week and in the past 2 weeks I have also lost 1lb a week on the 1200 diet. Sure at first I was upset and frustrated but look at it this way, with only 9lbs left to go I'll be at my goal weight by October!! Not too bad considering I've spent at least 4 years being really unhappy about being…

I read that this was a myth, but after seeing a compilation video on Youtube with a spider crawling out of a guys mouth, I think its pretty possible! And for everyone's entertainment, why you should always check under the lid at public loos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7skCdp5oTIE
-
I'm much the same! I drop 2lbs over night and then it goes up and down all week until the next week another 2lbs over night. Its very odd but waste and water I'd assume. I noticed the scales haven't budged since Friday. I realised today that my liquid intake has dramatically decreased. So today I went back to 3 bottles of…
-
Oh for God's sake now another nutritional chart is saying 207 calories. I know its ONE cookie but I really plan out my treats so well and its unsettling to think Im over eating due to one lousy cookie that I didnt need, just wanted a wee treat.
-
Secret Eaters is what made me realise where I was going wrong! Everyone is different. I think some people maybe log things incorrectly. For example in my first week I logged a roll and turkey the way MFP suggested it. So I was getting about 200 calories from 1 roll with turkey. However as the month went on I delved deeper…
-
I wouldn't call myself an addict but I wake up in the middle of most nights and my body is just screaming out for it most times. Thats actually what got me where I was 2 months ago, 3 stone over weight! As my daily diet was fine, its what I was wolfing down in secret at 3am that was the problem! lol Now I have it in very…
-
I was in turmoil last night trying to use this word! lol On Saturday for the first time in 40 days, I let go for one day. My sister cooked me dinner and it was a three course roast in huge portions. I had no idea it was going to be so large otherwise I wouldn't have had my crisps and chocolate that afternoon! I went from…
-
Oh God yes. My flatmate had been on holiday for a week, then went to her boyfriends for 4 days. In that time I lost around 6 lbs. First time she saw me it was " Oh my GOD you look ill. And really gaunt. You look awful " Not kidding. At 4ft 8 and 7.3 stone let me tell you I'd need to hit about 6 stone to hit the underweight…
-
Not sure of the exact date but recently I hit the " Gee has logged in 40 days in a row mark " so I'd say I've lost my 19lbs since around the 7th - 9th July. Roughly a month and a half 19lbs loss. People bare in mind my job is very hard going, thats pretty much the reason Ive been so lucky.
-
Ive also very recently logged half a biscuit and one square of chocolate. Every calorie counts!
-
I had the same problem. I was only going about once a week for 3 weeks. I was eating Shreddies at first to try and get some nutrients but it never helped. On Saturday I bought Morrisons own high fibre bran cereal and I have now been every 2 days. But several times on those days. It really helped me! Try it out. :-)
