  • My book is in the post... :) I'd love to hear how everyone is doing and make new friends. I know I have food intolerances and I feel better when I avoid wheat, eggs, dairy, yeast and brazil nuts (I had blood tests that pin-pointed these foods - but a few years ago now so they may have changed). I avoided them for a couple…

  • I agree with an earlier post that you're not having enough calories. Your body will only release fat if you are eating enough. I do alternate day a lot of the time and have around 2000 on up-days and 500 on down days. My weight loss has sped up since I started eating more. Food quality also counts; fats, proteins, and veg…

  • I had a similar thing when I started working out. I lost an inch on my hips even though the scales didn't budge. Not sure what you're eating, but I also had to raise my calories above the standard 1200 that MFP gave me to see weight loss - I went 20% below my TDEE (for me that was 1400 calories) and lost a steady 1.2lb a…

  • I had more success when I netted at my BMR (eating 1400 plus exercise calories). Netting 1200 was too low for me. I've had a steady weight loss of 1.2 lbs a week doing that (I was also strength training which I think was key to my success). I'm now on the JUDDD diet which is great and the weight loss has sped up (it's only…

  • I do and I've sent you a friend request :) I just couldn't get out of the habit and love to see how much I've eaten. I average 500 on a DD and 2000 on an up day and have lost about 3lb in the last week I've been doing it. Before that I averaged 1400 calories a day plus exercise calories and averaged 1.2lb a week weight…

  • I've just read the smarter science of slim and it discusses how the body is less likely to give up your fat stores if it thinks you are in famine. It's only when you're eating enough that it will use your fat for energy. There are hormones involved and it's not a simple case of calories-in / calories-out. I think this…

  • Feel free to add me. I'm 5ft. 3.5. I've just got down to 131 from 154. My aim is 122 as this is the weight I used to be. To start with I weight trained, did a little interval training and always kept my calories above my BMI but below my TDEE and had a steady weight loss of 1.2lb per week on average. I try to eat clean 90%…

  • I agree with the strength training - it's really working for me. I also do short bouts of interval training too (google HIIT for example workouts. Quality food helps too. Sites such of this one: http://thesmarterscienceofslim.com/ will help explain. I've just read the book and it summarises a lot of research explaining how…
