New scale very disappointed!
Hey everyone. Last week I bought a new digital scale that calculates body fat, muscle mass, etc. Well, stood on it today and it said I was 112lbs! ( I'm about 108-9 on my old scales ) then moved it to another part of the floor: 120lbs!! Moved it around the whole house and got every result under the sun. It also said my…

Weight Loss is Not Linear
I've seen a lot of threads about this since I joined, and also felt the same when I got stuck at 8 stone. So I thought I would share a great ( short ) article on what actually happens during weight loss. You won't consistently lose 1-2lbs every week. You may even stall for several, and then gain one or two! But if you…

TDEE / BMR / BMI Calculations
Hi everyone! As I now realise that the 1200 calorie goal is too low and possibly putting me into starvation and also VERY hard, last night I decided to do the calculations recommended to me by other forum members. I calculated my TDEE and then took around 15% away and was given 1700 calories. ( Great! ) This from a website…

Sugar free - stomach ache!
This isn't a question, but I was just wondering if I'm alone. As most people I ask say " No not at all :noway: " If I drink sugar free ANYTHING, I pretty much get a stomach ache instantly.

The longest plateau?
What is the longest you have been at your plateau for? For me 8 stone has been an issue for years. I'll diet, cut down, exercise, etc and not budge until I give up. Sometimes I last a whole month at 8 stone before I give up and go back to old habits. For my partner, 15 stone was an issue for over a month. He took up…

Weighing every day !
Does anyone find it really hard staying away from the scales? I know some plans tell you to weigh yourself every day, and some say wait as long as every 2 weeks. But ideally Id like to be able to be more casual about it. Problem is I cant help myself. I've been bobbing around 8 stone for about 3 days now. Ranging from just…

Hi! Weight Goal - 6.7 stone
Hi! My name's Georgia. ( Gee ) I decided to join because I've been trying to loose weight in so many ways and not budged the scales. Or when I do, they only stay that way for a few months. My diet history: I'm a small girl, about 4ft 10. I have a hip condition that means my specialist keeps a good eye on my weight, as any…
