started a week ago on the lowest dose, no effects good or bad so far. hugely disappointing, given the cost. mostly just feel like crying, i'd had a lot of hope on this thing having some effect, since I'd not heard anyone else having trouble with it and instead, i'm just broke.

my partner becoming obsessed with how short i am. (5ft1) Apparently, he'd never noticed it before, because I was so large, he'd perceived me as taller. And we've lived together for years!

i'm afriad of slipping into bad habits now i'm fired from my job and miserable, with lots of empty hours to fill.

[/quote] Honestly, the only way to figure out if the calculators are wrong is to see if you don't lose weight at the rate you're expecting. Doing a little math can help here. Go back and look through your diary and see what your total weekly calories were for the week for several weeks during your loss. Then look at total…

I think I will look at that trendweight thing. How can you work out an accurate exercise figure though if the calculators are wrong?

I pretty much gave up on cheese right at the start because it's 100 calories a bite essentially. Even though cheese is like the only thing I ever want to eat. sigh. and not much of what i eat uses cooking oil.

Maybe I should have started by saying 'thoughts other than the food scale'. I don't think i'm a special snowflake, but people always just say 'it's the food scale' 'it's your measurements' 'you're logging wrong.' I've already ruled that out. I wouldn't have asked if I thought it was that. I had therapy for years over an…

i will have to wait to measure because i haven't got the cash this week to go replace the tape measure i've lost. I'm not sure though. On the one hand, older clothes seem so baggy lately, and a heavy skirt that has no stretch is getting easier to wear. On the other, something that doesn't fit at all isn't significantly…

People seem to always jump to the food scale as a problem. I know how to count. I know how to measure. I don't think it's stalled because this or that might have been 5 grams more than what I counted. I'm trying to lose weight, not develop an eating disorder. And if something tells you it's x for the whole packet, then you…

that bingeing one day is so much more sickening that you remember it being.

also, wearing a skirt that i used to wear with the zip completely undone, which i'm now wearing zipped and butttoned (and which will fall straight off if i undo the zip.

<---- updating a profile picture that doesn't have to be seriously angled or slightly blurred to hide a big fat chin.

i felt for the past week like my weights a bit stalled, but yesterday i was thinking 'hmmm, my waist looks thinner' and two people commented on how they'd noticed i'd lost so much weight over the year. so i guess things are still going on with it.

2048! Holy god that puzzle game will steal your life!

I'm a kilo away from my 2011 weight, which made me depressed at the time because i was so fat.

I've only lost 7kg so far of about 50kg. So far to go. Not sure it shows much yet, or that this is a particularly photo-friendly outfit.

I went to the gym today and have 700 calories extra today which i'm not going to eat. I know it doesn't really work that way, but I'm counting that on tomorrow's calories, which I've worked out as being about 3000 calories, of a chocolate egg, a meal, and alcohol.

I try to budget alcohol with exercise calories, because it's not feasible to get a bottle of wine into 1200 calories.

i eat back pretty much all my exercise calories. (bar 100 maybe)

getting below my partners weight will be easier if i could make him gain a few kgs

also, my partner is 75kg, so i'd like to get below his weight.

i've got a band tshirt i haven't worn for years (it probably shrank too along the way). Once I can put that on again and breathe, i'll be motivated for the rest.

I've got a coat that I've had for like 6 years which has never really fit. Now it's actually starting to. Shame it's so tatty looking now. Still, this means by the time winter rolls around again I should hopefully have more choices of coats.

should probably add, i started in january, but didn't buy a scale until february, so i've lost 5-6 kilos since mid-february

i've only lost a few kilos so far, but i've lost them rather than gained them (except this week, cos i was bad)

aren't nuts vegan? Those are very high in calories?

I think occasionally i've been under 1000, and it comes up with a message when you press complete entry saying you're eating too little. So it seems like 1000 is the minimum, but unless you've skipped a meal somewhere, it's not easy to be under 1000 calories. (I might be nearer 1300 if you factor in little bits I don't…

i do between 1200 and 1500 calories, depending on activity level, and have cheat days every fortnight, which have been a pizza meal out, a big nachos plate, a chinese takeaway and this weekend some sort of kebab with chips. I hadn't weighed myself much, but the measurements seem positve. I sorta wonder if the cheat days…

funny, i saw someone else bringing up the same thing with reduced cheese pizza the other day. why is this a thing? and why just the cheese?

have a smaller/less pizza?
