There is absolutely no point consulting here for what it could be. Most of the suggestions in this thread range from unlikely to plain ridiculous. And we also don't know what you've already had bloods etc. for. If you are concerned go see your GP. To comment on some of the suggestions: 1. Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g.…

[Cows and gorillas'] metabolisms aren't hugely different from ours. They probably still have the same broad dietary requirements (energy, protein, vitamins). EDIT: Although presumably herbivorous animals have enzymes that we don't that are able to break down starch and plant proteins.

I think you did well to say that it's about being healthy and not about what you look like. It's so easy for a mother's dieting habits and eating hangups to diffuse passively to a daughter and become disordered eating.

Yeah it would be nice to have some sources for your info - and I mean peer-reviewed scientific studies rather than one person saying 'well I get migraines after ingesting aspartame so it must be bad for you.'

I get your point that it's probably variations in calorie intake and exercise (i.e. lapses) that account for plateaus, but I think you can still legitimately define these phases as plateaus since the progress graph does indeed level out.

A really skanky, steel-boned corset that I've had my eye on for ages. Been putting it off until I lose weight since those things are a pain to get measured. And also (I know this is bad) a Dominos pizza.

Hiya! I'm a UK girl up in Edinburgh.

Hi love, just to say I agree with what most of the above posters have said - it's unlikely that what you've gained back is adipose (fat) tissue, assuming your cals/day is accurate. If you're feeling disheartened, try taking your measurements every couple of weeks - then you'll see that even if the scales show a gain, your…

Hi Allan, I know the feeling! I'm just returning to the website after a 'relapse' haha :-P I too want to lose 20lbs, although I find it difficult to stick with the calorie counting (even though I know it works!).
