Just wondering how you can eat 1500 calories worth of lean meat and vegetables in one go?!? That is a massive amount!

You can only lose 10 pounds of fat overnight by using a chainsaw!

It really doesn't matter - however suits you best.

Myprotein is quite nice tasting (relatively, obviously!). I have it in Alpro coconut milk, which is pretty low cal too, and tastes really nice. But really, what all the rest are saying is correct - your calories are far too low for your size.

Just log everything to eat, and weigh it all so you know you are actually doing it right. Keep going for a month and then see where you are.

Eat properly! A minimum of 1400 per day and you won't be so hungry later on - eat proper food as well - not cereal bars, diet yoghurts whatever. Proper meals with protein, vegetables and carbs involved. All as unprocessed as possible.

Good luck! Eat some more - you are very slender - my 18 year old son (who is very slim and around your height 6 ft) is around 67 kilos so I can envisage how slender you actually are!

Anyone had similar to me - periods had got very irregular (10 months, 4 months part) when I started some HRT. I tried two sorts (Elleste duet and Evorel sequi patches - both of which are 2 weeks of oestrogen followed by 2 weeks of progesterone). I found I was getting awful awful heavy 9-10 day periods, so uncomfortable…

I'm 54 now and am probably in as good shape as I've ever been (apart from being too blinking old!). You don't need to eat chicken breast and rice for ever - 'clean' eating is total bollocks. Eat a reasonable variety of food, just not too much of it, do some exercise and you will be fine. I'm not planning on being a fat…

Not really possible - I am very small (5 foot and around 47 kilos), and if I consistently log 1400 average cals per day I lose weight (and this doesn't include the odd stuff I don't log - squash, the odd carrot I eat while making dinner, the odd bite of cheese when cooking, etc).

OVernight oats with protein powder, fruit, greek yoghurt, alpro coconut milk. Boiled egg and marmite soldiers. Eggs royal (on toast/muffin with hollandaise and smoked salmon). Today I had leftovers - salmon fillet, bit of brown rice, half avocado.

for dead lifts you can use wrist straps (loop over your wrists and then wrap round the bar - helps my rubbish little tendonitis-prone arms a lot!)

UK - Kent

Npeanut butter and bagels - nasty surprises.

Its basically fairly strict calorie counting. For me to stay under 7.5 stone, I need to be reasonably consistent with around 1500 calories a day (as a average). I also walk a fair amount and do weights 3 times per week (short work outs). It is possible, even as you get older (am almost 54 - sob).

Try acidophilus - it's helped me with this problem - it's a probiotic.

I think you are a bit dysmorphic - your thighs are slim! As is your body. I am like that too - bloody hate my thighs! Apparently they aren't fat, but that's how I see them.

I'm just over 5 foot - weigh around 104 pounds. My lowest last year was 101. I weight train and have reasonable muscle mass. Hoping to maintain around 100-107 (can't stay at lowest the whole time - too hard!).

and to be honest - 2 weeks is nothing - you could have a bit of water retention. Just persevere - sometimes I don't shift anything for a couple of weeks, sometimes it comes off quicker.

Allegedly all other things being equal (age, sex, no health conditions), our metabolisms don't actually vary hugely. What does vary a lot is appetite and activity level. People who stay slim without any effort don't have super-fast metabolisms, they just self regulate their food intake automatically, and are often…

Can't do it :s

Oh I have loads - its how I entertain myself whilst working out! - sitting on bench/machine and playing with mobile phone - sitting on bench/machine and chatting - dropping weights from a great height - leaving stuff on a bench while they go off and use other machines/whatever

I'm just over 5 foot and about 103 pounds - I maintain around 16-1700 calories. But I am 53 so don't have the metabolism I used to.

Age: 53 Pregnancies: 1 BMI: 19-20 Body fat: around 20 I think

What they all said! Getting to a healthy weight and maintaining it are a lifetime's work! If you eata sensible amount of decent food you will be fine. Obviously it's not going to happen in a week. the

Will do mine when I can be bothered to get out of bed!

One week is nothing. Keep going for at least a month. If it hasn't started going down then you can start re-thinking.

Not losing every week is normal. I took ages to lose 3 kilos (3 months) when I cut recently - in fact I lost nothing for the first 3-4 weeks. Then it slowly came off in fits and starts. This was at 15 then 1400 Calories. And I am very small (went from 49 to 46 kilos) - never needed to go as low as 200.

So, according to your friend, if I can fit in a normal size aeroplane seat I'm not real? What am I then, a hologram? >:)
