Good plan, thanks!! :-)

Funny you should say that....I've started doing HIIT classes on Saturday mornings and got my first hour long kettlebell class tonight. :-)

Thank you! I have got it set to 1lb....I'll take a look and reassess. :-)

Age: 30 Height: 5'4'' Weight: 153 I was a steady 140-145lbs for years until I tried to 'fix' my metabolism a few months ago. I did all the tests and found my TDEE and ate 20% under it. I gained. I haven't cheated and have weighed everything. I do have polycystic ovaries which causes a few issues too. I am now eating around…

That was a bit aggressive! I did, and do, weigh everything, eat small meals every 3 hours, and follow James duigan's plan. :-(

How long did it take to get back to losing once you went back to a low cal diet?

about 300-400 calories more per day.

Thank you so much for this, it makes a lot of sense!! :-) Fingers crossed it'll sort itself out soon... I can't fit into my favourite jeans!

I've put on an inch round my tummy. I stuck to 1200 cals and less for about 6 years, so this is really messing with my mind, ESP as I need to slim for my wedding. :-(

The oby prob is that fr metformin doesn't your BMI have to be high? Mine's 25, so I'm right at the top of 'healthy weight'....

So 1380 calories was too low you think?

does this mean i should be eating my BMR? (sorry it's late and i'm tired and dum at the minute!) i did the table, and it said 1745 cals?? eek!

Thanks everyone, really appreciate everyone's help and support. I'm NOT pregnant (thank goodness - we're in the process of selling/buying a house and organising a wedding!), so i'm going to see my doc. :-)

Thank you, i'll take all this onboard!!

Oh God, i hope not!

Too true - I work in the NGO sector, and only eat Fair Trade!

I did enjoy it! :-) Thanks guys, i feel a little less drama queen-esqe now.

Thanks everyone! :-)

Would you advise me to change my activity to lightly active then?

I do either every day, if that makes sense? So i walk 35 mins home, or cycle 30 mins, every day. I exercise 5 times a week on top of that anyways, and rarely eat the calories burned.

Thanks for your advice, i'll give it a go! :-)

Thanks! :-) I'm 5'4'', so my BMI is 24 - i want it to be 22! But i'm fussy...........

I lost about 2.5 stone about 8 years ago, put on 1/2 stone back on, and have been stuck here ever since, and have been trying to lose weight ever since. I'm stuck at 10.3st and it's VERY annoying!!

Maybe....good idea! thanks. :-)

I have PCOS which is a nuisance! Apparently my thyroid's fine...? (But my previous doc who did the tests was a nasty so and so who was incredibly unsupportive - but i guess she wouldn't lie to me!)

I know my diary is out time wise (oops!) as I was logging my food as i ate it, but not under snack, breakfast, lunch etc. What i'm having today is Snack: almonds, lemon water. Breakfast: clean and lean pancakes (cottage cheese,egg,oats) plus a little cottage cheese and 1/2 apple. Lunch: salad with quinoa, olive oil, 1/4…
