Hi everyone I just want to say thankyou so much for your very kind replies. I exercise between 5-7 times a week some days I add in a 3 -4 mile walk as well as walking my boy to school and back and down the street to get shopping. I refuse to take the car and struggle with bags all the way up a large hill. Genuinely I do…

Cs2thecox You really sound as if you have your head screwed on I wish I could retrain my brain. Perhaps hormones are coming into play I am nearly 45 . I'm just so scared that if I accept this as my new weight it might jump up even more then I will be stuck again. So scared of being overweight approaching the menapouse as…

Hi rheddmobile I don't know how to answer directly under what you have said. But no I keep these feelings to myself . I've spent the last few months feeling so sad some mornings I cry when I step in the scales.

Thanks I guess so but to be fair I didn't add that much extra. Years of an eating disorder mean that I struggle with foods . I'm terrified of getting really fat. I feel overweight as it is. I'm just trying to figure out where I am going wrong . I see people who just add in a small walk cut a few hundred calories and lose…

Thanks middlehaitch I am at my wits end now fed up and worried my metabolism is damaged

Hi I weigh 9. Something or 9 stone 1. Something but I don't seem to budge from this at all . I'm confused . Same scale every single morning clothes off after the toilet. Clothes are feeling the same. I don't weigh everything I eat because I don't eat a lot. Salmon I just use it straight out of the packet , veg I would have…

I am 5 ft 2 which is about 158cm . When I joined here I religiously stuck to my calorie goal that was so frustrating some days I was even under and still no changes. It feels as if I try to eat normally the weight seems to go on fast . Believe me when I say I know the calories of different foods. I weigh myself daily and…

Thanks for that alyhuggan I can now see it and put it into perspective :) I had a total panic when I saw that number come up and was worried I was carrying far too much fat !! ..I'm the exact same weight in that picture so I don't feel to bad now

Thanks I kind of thought it was a bit all over the place ...actually found it demotivating to find out my body fat is that high ,think I'll just stick with my normal ones

Sorry I'm obviously a bit thick when it comes to this ...I will now remember tone is not a real word thanks for your advice

Sorry should have said mainly wanted to tone up my horrible legs ..

Sorry should say I don't track because when I'm on a diet I eat the same thing every day to help me stay on track ive used my fitness pal in the past few years and know what to eat I don't lie to myself and I'm pretty strict ! I don't snack I don't drink and I know for sure I can't be going over 1200 cals a day

I can't see how I am overestimating ..a bowl of porridge with two tablespoons of oat bran ,some milk and two spoons of Greek yogurt , one chicken breast with tomato and cucumber and lettuce ,one salmon fillet with a packet of green beans surely that's not over on calories ? Or a healthy eating dinner premade with no more…

Phew thank goodness for that :)

Hi thankyou for everyone's replies ...in answer to a couple of questions I am just over five foot two and am 8 st 8 at the moment ... Still feeling a bit confused though as some say eat back and some say don't ...actually looking to lose 8 lbs !

Lol what magically happens at 8st is that I feel better and look better ....

I honestly truly struggle to lose weight and I've no idea why ....when I am on a health kick I tend to take it to the extreme believing I will see quick results but I never do ....I haven't got a clue either...I seem to stay at this weight give or take a pound I swing between 8st 9 and 8st 6 but no matter how hard I try I…

Very true but if anything I am convinced that I am under I ate a one egg omelette yesterday no oil in the pan .... Lunch was a piece of salmon oven cooked no oil again or butter and last night I had smoked haddock oven baked again and some oven baked tomatoes ...a small pot of low fat 0 per cent Greek yogurt ...this is the…

I am 5 ft 2 and am about 8stone 9lbs ....I don't use the diary because I stick to the same things I know the calorie intake of everything because I used my fitness pal all the time in the past . ..but perhaps your right I need to go back and log dillegently incase I am over my calories without realising

Thanks for your replies...I still think if I have went from doing nothing to doing 45 minutes a day on the treadmill then it's better than doing nothing as my body is moving ...I don't really need to lose a lot of weight just a few pounds ...but I think mentally I feel a lot better and I enjoy it :)

I just thought a healthy not unhealthy low fat diet would help as well as the treadmill...certainly not taking it to extremes ..

Ok first of all I am not on a strict diet ...I am a uk size 8 and am going on holiday and wanted to eat a bit healthy before I go away as I will probably pig out a bit ...that's why I haven't logged a diary ...but I do still come here from time to time for a bit of support if I am confused about anything as I used to use…

Thankyou everyone that replied I was a little bit despairing when I went on to some forums there was a lot of people that said they had gained stones in weight ! This has reassured me but I shall keep a close eye on my weight anyway :)

I don't log my calories anymore because I do the dukan diet which is very strict I've done it before so I know what I am eating in a day as I said before I am really strict with it during the week but totally cave in and give it up at the weekends totally pointless really ...but I actually enjoy it until I think I deserve…

I always think it's water weight but it can take a week to dissapear

You are defiantly not eating enough...you need to eat more and also you can't eat any potatoes ... I started off not eating enough and wasnt loosing until I upped the amount I ate ...good luck

Thinking I may be slightly sick as its the attack where you can't have any veg at all! Looking for some tasty ideas now I can move on I know it will be a bit easier ...

I guess I will just have to accept that it's just water weight !!

Lol...After all that I have decided bread isn't evil after all...I suppose it's what you put in it and on it ! Thanks for making the debate fun everyone :) x

This post has totally cheered me up love some of he comments .!!
