Sadly you cannot target specific areas to remove fat from quickly or faster, it goes when it wants to go, you just have to be patient

Lindt 90% & 99% , Green & Black's 80% or Ghiradelli if any of my family is going on holiday anywhere near Dark chocolate is awesome

High quality immensely dark chocolate 85%+ cacao and clothes because now I can wear things that look good :D

That's totally up to you, some people eat back their exercise calories some don't. Generally I don't, but I might allow an extra treat, like a hot chocolate or a couple of chunks of chocolate depending on how much exercise I've done. To eat it back or not varies from person to person and day to day.

Overgrown pedometers, was given a charge hr for free, total rubbish, burned 100 calories while making bread, 40 while unloading the washing machine, 200 while walking less than a mile. most people seem to like them because they massively overstate the calories used for whatever they are doing which makes them feel good.

This for me too Uncomfortable, inaccurate, essentially just an overpriced pedometer - absolute rubbish

RunKeeper - works for just about everything

Liquid weighs, unless you pee out 2 bottles worth of wine in one night, which is quite a bit, the weight is going to be there and that's without including the calories from the drink. I know my my weight fluctuates about 5lb a week just from liquid intake and expulsion alone.

so 2 bottles of wine were consumed and no weight went on? Nah, don't think so even if it were just water, weight would go on, because the liquid itself weighs something.

Water + working out + taking an enormous crap caused weight loss, who would have thought that would ever happen? :D

Don't take the FitBit readings as totally accurate any sudden jerks or jolts can add to the step/calorie burn count, a dog tugging on a leash on your arm could do it. just a thought

Go to a proper running store and get your gait checked they will match a shoe to your running/walking style, it makes so much of a difference

very well done, a great record

Interestingly I have had the same experience this week Digital home scale showing 142 but the traditional mechanical scale made by Salter (so a decent make) says 138 both were taken post workout, in the same gear and only 10 minutes apart. Personally I think the mechanical is right, any imbalance or bad calibration is…

Some very good advice here A good mental attitude helps, although it can be difficult to get into it. Remember, you as a person, can do anything, you are capable of anything you put your mind to, you just have to want it enough.

The Fitbit was way out, quite a bit higher The treadmills I use have an account sign in and I have my height/weight set up for it and it's usually a pretty close match on a 10km run for Runkeeper, never more than 150 cal out. The fitbit was almost doubling what I normally got, it was only ever switched on for running and I…

Also remember that activity trackers often aren't massively accurate as they use motions sensors, so for example driving down a bumpy road could have you burning thousands because it thinks you're running because you're bumping up and down like you're running. I had a fitbit charge hr for a while but got rid of it as it…

Personally I use just one app and put everything I do into that and use the info from that so you get the constant from one thing. Example: I use Runkeeper for road running but the local gym machines aren't hooked into that they have their own app, so I use their app and take a photo on my phone just to be sure and put all…

^^ This, so much this Too daft to recognise it on the rare occasions I think it might have happened. :/

Yup I do cheat days, one day a week every week, Fridays are my day. Probably not a good thing to do really and no doubt many will say it's not good but it's something to look forward to. It makes the constant counting during the week worthwhile, as long as the digits on the scale keep going down then I'll still allow…

Thank you all for the reply's and help I think you've all reinforced what I was already sort of thinking, ease up on it for maybe a month or so but not stop completely, just enough to have a rest and relax and re evaluate, before perhaps starting fresh again.

Thank you both for your opinions and advice. I think you've confirmed what I was already thinking, ease up but stay within the weight range I've been for a while. I think I just needed a bit of a confirmation to do it, I don't like to feel like I'm giving up or giving myself excuses for no reason. Thank you.

" It said 150lbs. I'm like this thing has to be wrong so I stood on another one it said I was 149lbs." So you know those scales are roughly correct " I put my 8lbs weight on my scale to see if it was accurate and it was it was 8lbs" You know your scale is roughly correct So both scales are roughly correct the variable is…

Cowbells

Ahh *kitten*, that was inevitable and not good

Seek medical attention now! If you really are that weight and height there is something very wrong, you are massively massively underweight! I'm 5,8 and 140lbs and my BMI is pretty much in the middle of what it should be. At 108lbs there is something wrong with you.

On standard issue Sodium Valproate for epilepsy 2x500mg a day not really been an issue weight wise but been on it for so long that I barely notice it
