I'll try and address those points! :) 1) it's 'Liberte Greek style yogurt 0% fat'. I choose the one that was already entered on mfp that matched the nutritional values on the tub. Generic chicken breast is the raw values for skinless chicken breast . The carrot is raw and was meant to be 35g. The day you are referring to…

How do I add pictures to a post? I've taken some today and want to update this thread with pictures to help motivate myself for some non scale victories.
-
Yes that's I do. At the weekend before breakfast!

Hi, it can't be my scales as my husband uses them to weigh himself and he's always around the same weight. We use them on a flat even surface. My body is just weird or I'm putting on weight from drinking more water or something?
-
Put on another pound 127.6lb now. That's a pound a week since the 31st January when I was 124.6lb. Oops, not sure what's going on really...
-
Ok, I'm going to start doing some weights this week and cut my calories to 1050 hopefully this will kick start me. I have already filled in my food diary for the week. The weird thing is my husband (who is around 5"8) eats around 2400-2600 cals a day and he weighs less than me, 122lb!
-
It is definitely not down to my husband, he is incredibly good at weighing everything exactly - to the point that it does get a little annoying (although I know he is doing it to help me as much as he can). It has to be something I'm doing - like the wrong kinds of exercise and my water intake. Whenever I drink more than a…

I was 124.6 two weeks ago, 125.6 one week ago and now I'm 126.6 after cutting my calories by 100 a day. I'm trying to drink lots of water!
-
I'm the only person I know that cuts my calories and puts on a pound! Is this normal!?
-
Liftng- I mainly do cardio at the gym, 45 minutes and then a 10 minute core workout. I also attend two Les Mills classes - Body Combat and Body Attack which is an hour each. I also play netball at least once a week, twice if there's a game. Debrag - I have no idea how many calories I'm burning when I'm doing a class or…

As I'm logging everything I eat correctly (the batteries on my food scales are constantly running out!) and exercising a lot, I can only assume 1200 cal a day is to much for me to lose weight now. I have changed to 1100 cal per day and changed the ratios to more protein and less carb (I've updated my food diary to reflect…
-
The food I eat is all measured to the gram! I am being 100% honest about that. If I am having 12 grams of cashews I measure it on the scales, if I am having 5 grams of Mayo I measure it on the scales, if I am having half an onion medium onion (which is equal to 55 grams in calories) in a recipe I measure 55 grams on the…

Why exactly do you mean 'bro-science'? Also how does calorie counting 101 apply to my situation? Thanks!
-
Muccica - that does sound pretty scary! I also find it quite hard to know the right kind of foods and ratios to eat as my husband is the one who cooks and prepares all the meals. Meritage - I'm 5"4 I think. In October 2013 I weighed 117 and I looked and felt great so I know I can get there, things just seem to have…

Good for you! I would say try not to weigh yourself too often as it can be demotivating. We can gain and lose weight really easily over the course of a day through water, sodium etc... Try and set a time and day that you can do it regularly so you get a better idea of your actual weight loss. Well done though!
-
Always! I feel really bloated around the time of my period and no matter how much I try, I cannot resist chocolate either. I just make sure that I keep exercising (even if it is a lighter intensity). You can do it!
-
I start day 1 of level 2 today - thanks you guys for making me feel excited by it (not!). I'm also doing JM's Burn Fat Boost Metabolism once a week, swimming once a week and netball twice a week. I have only lost one pound but I feel stronger and better within my self (I did 3 push ups day 1 and on day 10 I did 15) and I'm…
-
Well done you! I just lost a pound too, after putting on 4 so glad to see it moving in the right direction finally!
-
Perhaps I should have said when you feel like you are working hard then. Motivation is also subjective is it not though?
-
I'm exactly the same! Since really kick starting a healthier lifestyle 2 weeks ago (measuring everything to do with food, drinking more water and working out hard every day even if it's only for 20 minutes), I've actually put on 4 pounds. I measured myself last night and I haven't gained any inches so I'm going to assume…

Hi Jade! I'm Jenny, I'm a 24 year old physiotherapist and I am very stuck for motivation at the moment! I am currently logging every day, being good and (mostly!) sticking to the changes in my diet, as well as increasing my activity and exercise levels although I'm finding that I have actually put on weight. After browsing…

Me! Well I am getting married in October, exactly 7 months today! I'm finding it really hard to stay motivated when I am doing good things and making good changes but not seeing any results. I finally got my dress 3 weeks ago so now I want to slim down slowly to be able to fit into it perfectly.
-
I am definitely in need of motivation after actually putting on weight in the last two weeks. Sign me up!

Thanks for the reply. The thing is, it's hard to tell how many calories I'm burning up as I don't have a heart rate monitor and netball can be variable depending on what we work on or how much of the game I play. Does anyone know of anything online that can help with this?
