Welcome Angie, I'm a newbie too and whilst I can't offer you any particular advice I just wanted to say hello and good luck! PJ x

Thanks. I don't want congratulations hun so that's cool, just wondering if the up and down is normal if there's a lot to lose, was just expecting a bit more in the beginning but I will congratulate you on your 32 lbs in 74 days, way to go!

I'm the other way round, If I eat less I put on more!

If I just wanted to hear congratulations I wouldn't have needed to come on here to do that. I feel like I'm not losing what I should based on having a lot to lose and what I have experienced in the past in the first couple of months so, I don't need to hear congrats but whether or not others experienced what I am, that is…

Thank you for your replies. My allowance is 1500 calories, I have a lot to lose. I started at 228.8lbs and am 221.6 today. 2 years ago I lost 3 stone (42 lbs) by calorie controlled diet but was losing 3 or 4 lbs a week so I guess I'm just basing this time around on that as I'm eating similar foods. I'm also not doing any…
