I've got to this point where i'm not as obsessive with counting calories, i've lost 9lb so another 5 and i'm happy :) However i have days where i don't record my calories in my diary, for the past 3 weeks, my weights gone up and down, but i'm not worried about :) You shouldnt worry as you are a normal weight and the less…

All depends on your daily calorie goal.. work from there. if it's low stick to low calorie foods. It's all about moderation, i eat what i want and still maintain and lose weight, as i only want to lose a stone, i'm finding it harder to lose but easier to maintain my weight ro several weeks I don't do exercise! I need to…

great advice This is what frame of mind i'm in at the moment, as long as i can lose and maintain my weight i really dont mind :)

nothing for the past few weekends i've had alchohol, mcdonalds and far more food than usual! still only gained 1lb, which has now come off :)

I'm on 1430 a day, I eat low carlorie food thast filling e.g pasta, rice, bananas etc. etc. I know its carbs but oh well :) so far i've lost 9lb since july, my weight loss is slow because i dont' have alot to lose and i find it easier to manintain it :) But slow and steady wins the race :)

Thanks for the great advice :)

OMG i feel exactly the same, my 3lb weigh gain was well worth it :)

I cant even do a push up! haha sit ups are good, but only when done correctly. done incorrectly can cause back and neck problems. but i'm no expert :) Do exercise that is appealing to you :) I do dancing games for the xbox kinect and go running when its nice :) it does the trick, good luck :)

What a great story :) i hope its the same with me, i shall see on saturday when i weigh myself :)

Going on holiday will generally make you put weight on, the way i see it is if you come back an lose weight then it wasnt a great holiday ;) aha. Looking at how much you have to lose then it will be a little harder to loose :)

Well done with only a 4lb weight gain! I know how you feel though with feeling sluggish! my body felt like it was rejecting the fatty foods i was eating while i was away! Good luck with your weight loss too! youve done so well!

i was expecting a weight gain to be honest, but i didnt expect it to be only 3lbs, i was expecting 7lbs lol considering the amount i ate and drank! thanks for advice :)

haha :) It's weird how different countries have didn't opinions on what is over weight and unerweight!

I'd be concerned if she is classed as over weight!! I wish i had her body, then again it is airbrushed to the max!

bloody hell! what mirror are you looking in? i want that mirror!, i'd love to be as toned as you!

Thanks guys for all your support! I just don't want to blow my hard work lol We will be walking to places as we have no transport while we are there, as for the night time i will be sticking to voda and diet coke! :) It's also nice to know that people are in the same boat or have bee, it's incouraging to know you lost the…

anyone?

This is true, my auntie is the head sister at my local childrens hospital and she says BMI can be a load of rubbish! You don't look over weight, looks more like muscle :)

weight watchers double chocolate chip cookies 75 calories for 2 biscuits :)

I was in the same boat, i did exercise for a full week and hour a day, and got on the scales and nothing!, the day after i had lost 2lbs! So dont give up! saying that i have had a bad weekend celebrating birthdays, with loads of food and alcohol flowing! the 2lbs went back on :( but im back on track today :D

have you put that your excerising on your profile on MFP? i would then you will have a higher calorie intake, as you need to fuel your body :)

Thanks for all your advice guys! I just needed some reassurance! I have been takin my measurements and i am losing inches but, i find it had to add any other work outs into my routine as i work odd hours, but i am trying :) plus i really cant live off 1200 calories ad day like some, its like im starving myself, and…

cvitez1 - thanks for your advice i have been taking tape measurements around my waist lost 1.5 in and hips lost 1in. I must be doing something right, my clothes definately dont feel as snug. suleng - i didnt mean turning fat to muscle literally speaking lol iI worded it wrong, thanks for advice. It's just discouraging when…

You never see changes in yourself straight away because your used to seeing yourself everyday, but other people notice, as the comments above show :)

It generally goes on your age on how much sleep you need, i only have one cup of coffee in a morning

I feel the same, i dont like plain water either! I use dilute fruit juice to add to it, add some ice and i'm sorted. I don't know who much this is true, but a cold drink aparently helps you burn calories because your body works to keep it warm lol but dont take my word for it :)

I dont know about the brand names, but digital scales are far better, but i would also take measurements using a measuring tape :) thats what keeps me motivated. after losing only 7lbs, ive lost: 1.5ins from my waist 1in from my hips That made a great difference to how well my clothes fit :)

I dont eat my calories back either, i just drink water and keep hydrated, if i do feel peckish i will snack on fruit and low fat yogurts, low fat chocolate etc. I'm not too worried though if i do go over, i just make up for it the next day :)

Can't you look online for how many calories it uses, then come with an average? I supose its better to under estimate the calories you burn, so your less likely to over eat. thats what i do anyway
