I did this before, didn't understand how, when I ate so little, I started to gain weight. I joined here, counted my 'normal' calories, and found I was eating between 700-800 a day. I upped my intake to 1200 (site suggested), and lost a few pounds. I then stopped counting, and continued to eat 'healthily', or so I thought.…

After 8yrs of maintaining my 3st loss, I started to gain... very slowly... and over 2yrs I gained 10lbs. I 'thought' that when I split up with the ex a year ago, got my own place, and started to feed myself 'healthy, nutritious' meals, I'd start to lose it again. But no, I gained another 5lbs. It's got to stop! Coming here…

colochel - Yes I'm tracking calories expended during exercise, hence the reason I find it even more difficult to reach the 1200 after a day at the yard with the horses. Nutritionally wise, my main meal of the day is generally very well balanced (following GI principles) and love my veggies and salad. I've checked my sodium…

Steve - thanks but I didn't say I wont, just that I hate it. I've been trying to find other ways - like the flat hasn't been so clean in a long time! I've been 'dancing' around, climbing stairs instead of getting the lift. And OH has just brought our Wii home from work so I can get on the Wii fit again. And the horses are…

I've spent 3hrs at the yard today and went for a good 1.5hr ride with my friend... burning somewhere in the region of 600 cals just for the ride. Now I'm back home trying to figure out how I'm going to manage to eat my calorie allowance! ha ha
