I have about 8 stone to lose too, maybe more. Feel free to add me x

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I am just impatient. Before when I've just eaten healthily and not gone to the gym I have lost weight consistently especially in the first couple weeks when you tend to drop the most weight. Thanks for taking the time. I stopped weighing myself frequently because if I haven't done so well it…

I have changed my lifestyle, I know it's not a quick fix but to everyone else it's still a diet, lol. I don't eat back my exercise calories anyway.

Thank you for this. I know I am getting fitter because my times etc are improving at the gym and I feel slightly more toned. Maybe I will take some measurements as I have never done that in the past. Just annoying to not see the number.

Call me Naive but as I have been cutting calories from at least 2000 a day to 1350 - over 23 days is a calorie deficit of 14000 odd, which should roughly equate to 4lbs loss, and my exercise, let's say 13 times at 250 is about 3250 cals which is another lb, I was actually expecting to see a 6lb loss before the maths.

I have been logging my food everyday.

Haha especially not carp

When I say I have been eating fruit, j usually have a banana for breakfast and then maybe a banana before or after working out, sometimes an apple with my evening meal. I think fasting sounds like a good idea, are you talking on of these 4:2 diet things?

Yes weighing food, when I have been working a lot I have had to resort to prepackaged foods which have calories on them too. I'm always doing different things at the gym, always cardio though no weights

Thank you, I like to work towards little goals than big ones, I appreciate this advice.

Thank you. X

I didn't know I needed to eat back exercise calories, I thought it would be more calories burnt so therfore more weight lost.

Hello, I think you are right. Thank you.

Thanks, I don't like to go under 1000 as you get the awful message from MFP tell you off.

I know and unfortunately I have to get this out of my mind. How do they do that! X That's very true, thank you x

Thank you for the advice. I will be strong enough to do it one day. It's my challenge. And you're right I shouldn't let the number rule me.

This seems like pretty good advice, I might give this a shot. Thanks

Thank you

Hey, I am losing but not at the rate I wanted, or expected really - again will the frequent visits to the gym.

Sorry for for the confusion, my total is now -36

Wow that's so impressive, well done. Childish it may be but not something I can face. The motivation I have! That's my issue, fair enough if I hadn't been bothering to go to the gym or eating crap but hoping the gym would would fix it, but this hasn't been the case. Maybe I have just been too optimistic.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I don't mind going to the gym, I actually quite enjoy it, but I probably wouldn't go as much if it wasn't having much of an impact, I was expecting it to really boost the weight loss.

Hello, 1200 or less apart from my cheat days. It'svery rare that I go over 1200. My burns from exercise I thought would be a bonus, bearing in mind that I thought I would lose weight just on 1200 calories a day anyway, never mind in addition to a work out 4 times a week.

Hello, Yes I always log accurately, to be honest I have a pretty hectic schedule so usually eat pre packaged foods with calorie definites. My usual daily food is something like this; Greek yogurt for breakfast 90 cals cup a soup, multigrain snacks and you're for lunch 376 cals Microwave healthy meal for dinner, multigrain…

This is great, she looks fantastic. I'll set aside some timeo read that later. Thanks

I'm sorry or confusing people. I am currently at -36 lbs,this has been since last year, but I have lost 18 of those lbs since the end of July, basically 3 months. When I say around 1200, yesterday I ate 1174, and burned 934 (according to MPF - according to the gym around half) the day before was my cheat meal where I had…

Thanks for the reply. I would like to think I could get rid of the zero scale but I actually have a fear, so until I get over that fear or have lost enough weight I don't think I will be able to... I agree about the exact weight and stuff, especially because the gym equipment asks for weight etc but I can't do it (yet)…
