Is it possible that you're already at your correct weight ans your body doesn't want you to lose any more?

Okay, that works. Long way to go through.

Thanks for all the sound suggestions

Glad to help. Here's one idea. There's a delicious light chilled Spanish summer soup called gazpacho. If you don't know it there's a million recipes online and no correct one. You put tomatoes, cucumbers, green or red peppers and some onion in a blender and blend until - it's the texture you like it, smoother or chunker,…

I think if you simple added unsaturated fats like olive oil, some nuts and maybe avocado to your diet that would send the calories up. Last night I had grilled chicken, quinoia, swiss chard for dinner, but added a tablespoon of olive oil because I was low on fat for the day, which added over a hundred calories to the meal.…

I'm equally baffled by this.

I've tried several, but none work on me. I bought a Polar, took it back because it wasn't working, got a replacement, that didn't work. Tried the ones at my gym, they didn't work, then went for the Mio watch one, didn't work.

Yes, I tried water but it didn't work at all.

No. Tried a bunch of them, I'm one of a minority that finds it very difficult to get a reading for some reason. It can take up to a minute and a haff to get a reading, and sometimes it just gives up. . Both the chest band type and the finger on the watch kind.

I assumed that would be done for you, like the cardio

I decided to remove sugar as it was not possible to keep within the total. One banana took me rocketing beyond the limit!

I think it must depend on how old you are and your general physical condition. A 20-year-old will be able to work out for longer and more often than someone in their fifties or sixties with joint problems, like me.

Thanks for the reassurance. I just looked at the sugar content of fat free milk, 5 grams of sugar in 100ml. My breakfast this morning, cup of tea on waking, muesli with no sugar but some dried fruit and nuts, fat free milk, fresh fruit, fat free yogurt, and a cappuccino with fat free milk has given me 17 of the 27 grams of…
