Anyone able to help?

I'm 28 and am still ID'd in shops. Am only 5' - but I keep telling myself that I will be pleased about it when i'm older!

The only thing I can see on your diary is that your not eating back your exercise calories - perhaps try giving your body more fuel - the Body, in its self-defensive mode, tends to hang onto everything if it doesn't get enough fuel. I'm a very active person and trying to survive on 1200 calories a day was the worse thing I…

After you replied about this on my post last week - I upped my calorie intake - whilst I haven;t stood on the scales as yet, I am feeling so much better in myself!! So Thank you !!

Are you taking account of your exercise calories? Just last week I posted a similar post, as I am a very active person but never lost any weight - and the thoughts were that I wasn't eating enough! My body had shut down and was holding onto everything I fed it - SO I have now manually adjusted my calories to 2000 per day…

Wow, thanks Psulemon - that's great information! And interesting - am at the end of my tether with it all and so am willing to try anything! A whole 1000 calories more than i'm eating now - it will be a struggle at first but I shall have a go! I tend to have 1 or 2 rest days a week where I don't do much exercise if any.…

Thanks everyone! I shall try upping my calories and get to my DRs when i get chance! Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement - especially RachelS - made me smile :smile:

What do people think - Should I up my everyday calorie allowance - even on those days when I don't exercise, or just make a more determined effort to eat extra on those days I do exercise?

I have a BMI of 30! :sad: I am classed as Obese - i'm sure if you saw me you wouldn't think that, but thats what it says. I'm 5' nothing, 158 lbs and fit into a UK size 12 (just atm!! ) But anyway, I need to shift some weight and it ain't moving. ] May go to the Drs like kirstyjosephine suggested. And thanks MrsBlobs - I…

thanks Morgan - I shall have a read. I do try to eat alot of my exercise calories, just not the full amount in case they are extra generous on the database - maybe I didn't work as hard as they expected me to! :)

Hi, I am, but this is the last month. The nurse suggested trying something else. The Drs is my next point of call. Friends say that I should be a size zero the amount of exercise I do - I just don;t stop :cry:

Thanks Guys - thought that would be the case. I never go massively over the calories the day following exercise, but its a shocker when you press the complete entry button and it reckons you should have gained 5 - 10lb that day! But yea - agree that if body needs it, body should have it! And Pinksherbet - thanks for the…

Great thanks guys - all great advice! Will definately my shoes checked out, plus think its about time to invest in some new ones anyway. :smile: But for now will stick to spinning and swimming! And RICE !! :laugh:

Thanks Guys - appreciate all the responses!!

Hi Jane I'm in training for cycling across kenya in 12 months time. My exercise can be a walk with the dogs - to a 45 min spinning session - to a 4 hour bike ride. I'm still at early stages and so am not training every day just yet - just generally improving my fitness - hence the fluctuations in calories burnt - I need my…

Thanks guys. Ill put it down to the cold then but will definitely check my shoes aren't too tight etc! Thanks :)

So pleased to hear its not just me! yes I am fair skinned also and sounds like it just comes with the territory!! Certainly doesn't put me off, just feel concious of it - I shall just get on with it then, knowing that i'm not the only one in the world :smile: Maybe it also makes it look like I am working extra hard?…

Thank you!! A Charity Close to my heart!! :smile:

To stop my sugar cravings, I drink diet coke, or Pepsi Max. Know their full of other 'not-so-good' for you things - but it stops me reaching for the chocolate or biscuits!!

I'm 5' and half an inch - I love being small, but do like my extra half an inch :smile:

Thanks Guys - have now made my profile 'public'. Although only about a weeks worth on there from recent times- and have tended to miss of my 'naughty days' and days that I can;t be bothered with it. And its something I've picked up and put down over the last year or so - so any thoughts / advice on what I am eating wouold…
