I just went on this and according to it I'm eating well below what I'm supposed to - could this be right

This is true - lookit, I was anorexic (for stress, not slimming reasons) about 7 years ago. I was barely eating enough to keep alive, and in the end I had to force myself for the sake of my children. Ever since I have been left with awful problems with my metabolism, and I just can't seem to get it off the ground. You MUST…

I've been told that if you want it enough, you can make it happen - especially if you want children. Go for it and don't give up. One step at a time

This is very familiar and it's hard to keep motivated. I'm in the same boat and it's driving me mad. We'll just have to keep trying

Starvation mode is when your body believes you're in famine conditiions so it slows down your metabolism to conserve your energy and your fat supplies. you also go into ketosis where proteins are being burned up rather than fat - this can lead to all kinds of physiological problems including hair loss and dental problems.…

Anyway - sorry I was getting away from the point. If you are losing weight and your clothes are getting baggier, then you will be changing in appearance, and you should give yourself milestone boosts, for example a new hairdo, new accessories (belts etc) that show the new you, and when the time comes new clothes. They…

It's true - I have a bad history and it's all caught up on me and now I seem to be stuck

I'm afraid I'm never going to lose weight and I'm always going to look like an elephant and have pains and be out of breath

Hi, I'm in hte same boat - I'm getting frustrated now at 2 and a half weeks with no weight shift, and I'm being meticulous (apart from t his evening I got so fed up I went and had fish and chips for dinner). I know I need to excercise more but medical problems and irish weather have hampered me somewhat - I am doing more…

Me 3 LNS 1 Had to top up last night, and stayed up too late too :ohwell:

Me 1 LNS 0 :happy:

Thanks Beeps, I'm not too bad I think then. I started a week ago and think I've made a bit of a mess of things - most days I didn't make my calorie Target, which I know is not a good thing - apart from Easter Sunday of course!! I went a bit mad on desert after dinner, but my one and only Easter Egg is sitting in my room…

Are there any basic rules - I tend to not use my allowance and then get something before bed and I know it's not good - I'll give this a try.

Ok, I checked that out and found it very interesting. I'll give the 1200 a couple of weeks but I've bookmarked the page - it's great to have information like this because you'd be inclined to get despondent and throw in the towel if you're really trying and not seeing results. Thanks

I need to lose 50lbs at least to get into any kind of a fit sort of zone - it's harder as the years go on and I have issues that make excercise difficult, but I need to do this. My daughter-in-law told me about this site/app, and I have to say, it's already giving me confidence that i can do this, after 3 days (not that…
