Brilliant thank you!

I've been down this road before thanks and never experienced these problems, which is WHY I'm so confused. I also don't think I know better which is why I'm trying to get all the help I can. Also I am not eating way more than I think I am. I know exactly what I'm eating, which again, is why I'm so confused. But to…

I've gained 3lbs in one week. Sorry but that's not normal. I'm giving it one more week before I give up completely. If I'm gonna gain weight I may as well ENJOY it, I'm feeling really low about it but too annoyed to wanna bother carrying on.

All of it must be water weight because I haven't gone over anything :/

I'm gaining weight too. I have gained 4lbs this week I'm absolutely furious. I won't give up (even though I feel like it) but what's the point in working so hard only to GAIN weight when I'm already a beached whale?! I don't understand why I'm gaining so I definitely wouldn't know why u are. But I feel ur pain lol.

[/quote] I'm always weighing myself too, sigh I want to ditch the scales but it's so hard as I'm too dependent on it [/quote] Same here! And I was exactly right. I'm exactly 1.5 lbs heavier than I was yesterday morning. Complete mood killer!

Because usually when I weigh myself at night I get an idea of what I'll weigh tomorrow, and by the looks of things I'm gonna be at least 1.5lbs heavier tomorrow than I was this morning. 4lbs seems a lot to vanish overnight that's what I'm worried about

It's not tonight I'm worried about, it's tomorrow morning and the scales still showing that I'm heavier than I was today.

Everything. There are absolutely 0 positives to being fat. I can't wait to be a non-fat person :(

How do u make ur diary public? It's just never happened to me before, or if it has, I've never known about it! Just took me by surprise but after reading the comments I'm fine now thanks :) I need to lose 24 lbs within the next few months and can't afford any setbacks!

Oh I thought that only happened the week before & not during? If it is just that I can relax. But I'm a bit upset because 2lbs is a massive setback (mentally) at this stage in my plan. But never mind. At least I'm not the only one. Thanks!

Nope not due on, I'm already 5 days in

I just wonder why though. With how much water I drink and how super low my sugar/sodium intake is (have a look at my food diary). Oh well, no worries. I'm good now. Thanks for ur help :smile:

Ps. I do actually feel fatter, which is worrying :neutral_face:

Thank you guys. Just very frustrating as this has never happened to me before for no reason. Also feel like I haven't got time for this, I have targets to meet lol. But if it's 'the norm' I suppose I can cope lol :blush:

I do Tae Bo with Billy Blanks, HIIT with FitnessBlender.com and toning/stretching with Callanetics. Perfect for me. Works like a charm

But that's the whole point of what I'm trying to say. He clearly stated himself that he doesn't even COUNT CALORIES! Which is why it is unrealistic! For all he knows he could be eating only 1000 calories a day. When he starts to eat normally again, he'll probably eat a lot more calories, thus gaining weight. There is no…

I just think it's unrealistic long term. I highly doubt this person is gonna keep this up forever. I reckon they will do it for a few weeks/months etc and then go back to eating normally. Like they said themselves the whole thing was pretty much accidental. When their circumstances/lifestyle changes, their diet probably…

Not for me, I love eating breakfast. In fact I need it, can't cope without it. Back when I was fat I could go all day without eating, then in the evenings I'd have a huge blow out. I NEVER wanna go back to that. I like to eat three meals a day and three meals a day only. I don't snack, my meals are enough to keep me from…

I first started doing Tae Bo when I was 14, combined with Callanetics and yoga and my body was great from doing so. I picked it back up recently (10 years later lol) and again it is bringing me fast results. I do it daily, infact, I just finished a Tae Bo workout about half an hour ago. I would say it's easy enough to do…

Brilliant! That's all I needed to know, thanks!

Okay great! Thanks! I do Tae Bo daily & use FitnessBlender's free videos on their website. I work out every day after work and do several different workouts on the weekend at different points throughout the day. Not always this intense but I'm trying to reach a new goal then I'll calm down a bit and maintain until my next…

[/quote] [/quote] Skim milk has more sugar in it than whole milk does! Do not fear the fat, my friend. Fat is essential for helping those neurons in your brain fire! Eat more fat, and you might even start to like math! (Just kidding). I've never been a *huge* milk drinker, so I'm not really sure what someone could do to…

Hey thank you for all of this....using the calculator now, thanks!

Oh haha I never knew that - that's easy then! I will go through this post and copy someone's goals that fit closely to how I want mine to be. Thank you sooooo much everyone & good luck! xxxxxxxxxx

"""""""""This is the only bit that seems off to me...as previously stated, milk has more carbs than cream (which is why I lighten my coffee with HWC, rather than 1/2 & 1/2). Also: why fat-free yoghurt? I eat Cabot's full-fat Greek yoghurt, which is deliciously creamy and very filling (don't know if they have that where you…

Hey thanks... I might try this. There's no way I could ever be able to come up with my own strategy using percentages and stuff like that, A. because I'm **** at maths and B. I simply don't understand it. I am very good at sticking to strict plans as long as I have a plan to follow. I'm very comfortable with a minimal carb…

Thank you for all comments but it's all just so confusing for me. I've done lots of research since beginning dieting in December & am definitely happier with the whole low carb high protein thing etc. The overly scientific part though I don't really understand...but obviously I want to. I worry that I'm just not doing…

oh my god...you look AMAZING! please tell me what workouts you do?!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?

you're gonna have to either have one BIG HUGE blow out, or slowly wean yourself off. sounds hormonal to me. like me, i'd been in the same situation since the beginning of may. i just COULD NOT stop eating! thinking about food, wanting food, loving food, eating for the sake of it, feeling soooooo happy whilst eating or…
