Thanks so much for all the feedback! The reason I failed at WW was because of the no limits, so I would just sit eating fruit all day (which actually never fills me up and just makes me more hungry!). I know that I work better with a clear limit on what I can eat which is why I've ended up coming back to MFP.

Diary should now be public

Thanks ladies. Yes I have been weighing my food. I'll try and work out how to open my diary now! I had been eating more 1800ish but was staying the same, which is why I've cut down. I'm 163.8 cms and 159 lbs. the 30 lbs was in 3 months and no loss for the last month. So my BMI is still above health. My 'wedding day weight'…

Hi, I'm currently due August 4th although I will be having my official dating scan this week/next week. I can't wait for my scan, I'm so anxious to find out that everything is ok..... Finding out you are pregnant before crimbo is not a great thing in some ways...I have gained 5lbs and am 10 weeks and 4 days...! Although I…

Yeah 5ft 4 and 131 lbs. When I do exercise I exercise a lot (i.e. I just did a half marathon). Maybe its water weight as you say!

I do agree with what another poster siad. This study was on obese people - who are probably eating way more than 1700kal a day and therefore will loose easily if they stick to pretty much any diet. Although I do agree that every calorie is not made equal!

BUMP

Thanks. So most of you gain just before your period and not when you are ovulating? x

Some really interesting replies, thank you! I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who finds that they do better when not exercising! I can't however give up exercise but I am going to try perhaps altering the type and duration of my workouts. I really think I eat the right things at the right time and use a HRM to log…

ps....WHAT MADE ME THINK OF THIS WHAT THAT THIS WEEK i AM RESTING TO TAKE PART IN A HALF MARATHON ON SUNDAY AND AGAIN AM FINDING IT EASIER TO STICK TO 1200..... :O(

Good tip! Thanks

Thanks! Ill look into that - 120 calories is so low!

Hi, I'm 5ft 5 too. This is a really interesting question, I hope that people reply! Well done on your weight loss so far! I weight 135 and like you I carry my weight on my belly and hips. Mostly however I seem to carry a lot of weight on my upper arms which always seem totally out of proportion to me! I'm not too sure of…

Thanks for all the posts! My "Sister In Law To Be" is a slimming world consultant and therefore is going to get me set up and I won't go to the classes I'll just do it with her so no ££", which is v.good! I'm glad to hear that its worked for so many people. I tried WW at the start of the year and the new system just didn't…

I am a member of a gym yes and that where I like to work out. I am working off the programme they gave me and have had it adjusted but they really seem to think 'oh she's just a girl, just give here the standard work out'.... thats why I wondered if anybody knew where to get good workout from I'd love to try PX90 but I…

Shoudl have said - doc said that weight traianing would be fine, its the repetitive stuffs that aggrevating my injury!

Just delete her!!! :o)

I have always suffered with constipation....so know all there is to know!! The more fibre you eat the more you need to drink. Fibre essentially bulks out your poos (sorry!) but if you don;t drink water with it they will just be dry and get stuck!! x

Ah thanks for the support messages/tips so far! Yep, I read that too about South America, lot sof quinoa etc, so hopefully I may be ok! Need to get down to the supermakret and stock up on Gluton free goodies!

It's a difficult one to call as it depends how hard you are working out on each. The best way is to buy yourself a heart rate strap (if you can sync it with the gym machines, if not you can just get yourslef an inexpensive heart rate watch and starp for less than £30) and see which works makes you heart rate higher (i.e.…

Wow you look fantastic! I am also 5 4 and seem to be stuck at 131. It would be great if you could share how you managed to get those last few pounds off, and in realtively such a short space of time??!!! Well done you.

Thanks, didn't realise so many people were anaemic! Am fairly worried about the constipation as I have really bad IBS and suffer with this as a matter of course despite abundant amounts of water and fibre!!! Red meat also 'bungs me up'! Oh dear....really hope the iron tablets don't affect me in this way, I'd rather be…

Hi Hun, Was just reading your thread. Sorry to hear that you are fed up. I had a look at your diary, can I ask - do you eat any vegetables? You hardly have any logged? So either you aren't logging them and you need to as they have calories or you need to eat more!!! You can eat so much more if you eat vegetables to bulk a…

Here is the link for Less Bounce: http://www.lessbounce.com/

Try 'less bounce' bras...they are fantastic. I used to bounce a lot and then when I trined for a marathon I ended up with cuts and scabs from chaffing where my bra starps were (even though I was wearing a sports bra). Less bounce saw me through it and I now own 3 of thier bras, woulnd't go back! Less bounce are defo the…

I read on Jillian Michaels website that the exercising on an empty stomach thing was a bit of a myth but I just did a search and couldn't find the right reference to point you too! The theory behind this is that your blood sugar levels are low when you're in a fasted state (after going all night without eating) which…

No, no headache have drank 2 litres plus today and still drinking!

No, no headache have drank 2

Yeah just a one day thing! I do suffer with low blood pressure but normally it rarely bothers me. Think I'll just listen to my body and get some rest/something to eat! :smile:

I ate my normal pretty high carb breakfast and then ate a protein bar mid morning and have also eaten fruit and a yogurt this morning (all before my work out)! Did feel a little bit shaky. Feel sleepy and weak.....maybe I do just need to go home eat a proper dinner and get an early night. Just odd that it happened…
