I didn't think so! Thank you!

Thank you that's the plan of of action!!

Thanks for clarifying! I was confused for a minute!!

Protein can? Really? I'm always pretty high on my protein lately since trying to cut out bread etc! That could be the problem! Why are we always told to eat protein if working out?

Thanks - I've been doing this for 23 months now which is why I'm not as bothered about being perfect with weighing etc because I know my portion sizes aren't too big - if anything they're a bit on the small side! But maybe back to basics will be the best course of action x

That says around 1600/1700 - that's insane, I would never be able to eat that much!!!! I'll push it up to 1400 and see how I go! Thanks for your help x

Too low?

So is netting between 1100-1200 ok? That's a pretty big defecit

Weight is 170lbs and I'm 5'4" thanks!

It was set to lose 2lb a week but I wasn't losing anything so I saw suggestions that I wasn't eating enough and to change it to more calories!! I walk 3 miles every day and occasionally run and swim (I know I should make it a regular occurrence!). Everyone keeps telling me different things. I'm not eating badly, I'm not…

Thanks hun. 80% of the sugar I eat is from fruit though, so I really don't think that's the problem... I've been told not to worry about the natural sugar that is in fruit x

So the snooping didn't help :-( I thought I was going to have some big revelation that you were all eating super ridiculous well - like all fruit and veg and nothing nice and then I was going to kick myself up the bum and decide that I really had to change how I am eating.... But you all eat pretty normally. I looked over…

Haha thanks ladies! Last year in March I started at 168lbs, I got down to 150lbs but since December I have put 9lbs back on... So here I am again 159lbs wanting to get down to 140lbs. I have been trying to diet for the last 3 months but I keep losing, then gaining etc etc even though I am not eating bad... Think I was…

I know how you feel - i've not lost any weight for months...keep bouncing around the same weight mark! So yesterday I upped mine to to lose 0.5lb a week - which has brought my calories up to 1500ish - i'm terrified i'm going to put weight on!! Loads of people have had success so I guess we'll see :)

Hi girls! I thought i'd join in. I was diagnosed with mild PCOS when I was 17 (I'm now 22), and whilst being on the pill kept all my symptoms at bay... since coming off the pill last November to TTC, I haven't been able to lose any weight - in fact I steadily put on 9lbs over this time and now am just hovering around the…

My doctor wasn't very helpful at all to be honest - it was kinda a 'so you have mild pcos, it will improve if you lose some weight and you may or may not have fertility problems" and that was the end of it... I wasn't told to come back or anything. I was put on the pill, but I came off of that last November (to attempt to…

I'm so confused, people are telling me to reduce my sugar intake - but most of it comes from fruit!! What to dooo!! I wish this weight loss thing was easier, I seem to be doing everything right and not getting anywhere :(

Ok so most of the snacks I eat during the day are fruits - then I have a couple of biscuits with my tea/hot choc at night... So what snacks can you suggest that aren't fruit during the day, that aren't too carlorie heavy? Thanks for all your help :) xx

I'm actually only ever over on Protein when I bring myself to track usually!

I have mild PCOS because I was tested when I was 17, had ultrasounds etc, but it is only mild as i'm not obese and not overly hairy so i'm lucky. Ok so i've just put my food in for yesterday (take a look, I think my diary is public) and it says I ate 1429! I think this is enough food? I don't see the point of eating when…

Oh and I forgot to say I drink at least 2l of water a day and green tea as well!

Haha, sorry! Just everything you said in your post pretty much echoed her podcast that I listened to this morning on my commute!! I too, am a hardcore JM fan. haha!

Someone has been listening to the Jillian Michaels podcasts ;) Completely agree with all of that!!

That was very helpful morganadk2 - I think I definitely need to eat more! Who knew diets weren't about eating very little...!

Wow thanks guys, i'll have to try and eat a bit more!! Not sure how though.... lol
