It's probably showing you your BMR as well which is basically what your body burns by just being alive. I've done no exercise today but my calories burnt are 1,744 because that's my BMR

Thanks for everyone's advice. Started eating more and then weight is slowly going now. Just wasn't eating enough apparently. Least finally seeing results

Thank you that's been really helpful

It recommends me that

I did an experiment over the weekend. For the past few weeks I've been eating under 1,900 calories (1,300-1,800) and loosing nothing. So I ate up to or over 1,900 calories this weekend and I've lost 2lb this morning

So if I use a 125ml measuring cup for milk for cereal and it weighs as less or more then that's the number I put in the diary not the cup. I use it as an estimate not the final figure

I do use a food scale. I measure everything INCLUDING the measuring cups and they are generally the same and if not I account for this when I add them to my diary

Yes

Measuring cups, measuring scales, jugs, measuring spoons. And I don't eat back exercise calories as I don't add them to my diary

About 2 months. I weigh or measure everything using measuring devices and scales. I've only lost 4lb. I got the 1900 based on my bmr

How long have you been stuck? How much exercise are you doing each day? Are you using a food scale?[/quote] About 2 months, I do calastetics every morning and as much walking as I can. Yes I weigh everything

I suffer from chronic pain and somehow have managed to almost loose 8 stone it's been hard work though

Not sure about other girls but I ALWAYS gain just before my totm. It's mainly water weight though. Could it be that? (sorry for the kinda personal question)

I suffer from chronic pain disorder and hyper flexible joints so depending on flares can leave me wheelchair bound as well as a jug of mental health issues. I've managed to lose 5 stone so far by doing gentle exercise (light cleaning, walking, swimming) and i did a complete over haul of my diet which made the biggest…

Hi I can totally relate to this. I was told at 16 I'd never have kids because I never had periods, my weight was always up and down to the point I was almost 22 stone. Didn't matter what I did 4 couldn't shift the weight. Scans on my ovaries showed they were badly affected but they didn't want to do anything about it at…

I have this same problem. My 10 month old doesn't sleep in the day and he wakes up at 6am and is constantly clingy to me which makes it impossible to do anything

I already have and I'm seeing a counsellor to try and help with it but it's a slow process Easier said than done when you have very little self confidence and very little self esteem. Having a shower and eating are a chore right now. I'm using all my motivation making sure my son is happy and healthy which as he's a poorly…

Thanks guys :-) now just need to actually DO these

Thank you :) It's a nightmare finding ready made stuff lol so easier just to make stuff from scratch half the time

I have this problem as well. I often can't settle enough to sleep until 5am and i don't wake up again till lunchtime. I also take vit D because my GP found i had a severe deficit of it in my system. I've been suffering with insomnia for 15 years and so far haven't been able to find anything that has worked for me. Most…

It could be water weight, it's odd to have such a signification change in weight in such a small time without it being water weight really. Could also be that you need to change your exercise round a bit? I found that i got to a point where i wasn't losing any weight any more even thought i was working my butt off…

Is there no way of having a smaller portion or working it into your weekly calories? I have the same problem when i visit family. They don't put weight on so eat whatever they want, whereas i have to be really careful. I normally end up working it into my calories or just having a cheat weekend and dealing with it…

I have a terrible time eating 1000 cals some days. I just don't get hungry most days it's a real problem and no one can tell why i'm like it. I'm 16 stone but i only get hungry once a day, if i try and eat before i'm hungry or snack i end up being sick. Yet i'm still fat!

Welcome ^_^

Welcome to the page ^_^ i also know the frustration of yoyo weights. I seem to have gotten to a plateau now where i either lose a couple lb or gain a couple but i never go over 16st 8 or under 16st 6. It's driving me mental! I also know the feeling about not being able to talk to my partner about stuff. He can eat whatever…

I lost 5 stone (70lb) before anyone started to really notice and even then some people still didn't

I hated getting called names like this, really crushes your soul

Hi ^_^ welcome to MFP hope you reach your goals

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time lovely. If you are an emotional eater (i am) the best thing i've found is only stock the cupboard and fridge with healthy foods, that way if you want to snack it's healthy and not unhealthy. And if you do want unhealthy food you have to get up and go get it. I'd go and speak to…
