I work 2-3 days a week doing the above steps…

Hey guys
Hey guys! Quick question I’ve been stuck at 11.3 for the past 4 weeks now… Would I need to reduce my calorie intake or up my exercise? I haven’t done anything differently…I’ve stuck to my calories and not overeaten apart from one week where I treated myself to a chip shop for tea :) But the other 3 weeks I’ve stuck to my…

Scales
What scales do everybody have? I literally have a set of scales that cost me 5 quid 🤣 and I think I’m mistaking my water weight posts for my scales…I think my scales are dodgy…they are old thou… What would you recommend? What should I look for in the description when purchasing a set of scales? :)

Just wondering…it’s probably not that easy 🤣
Hey guys.. So I like making things from scratch :) I’ve learnt how to add a new food But what I wanted to know is… Usually I will make a lasagna in a Pyrex dish…but only have maybe a slice of it Is there a way that you can group everything you put it as a new food Then just weigh whatever you have and put it as say 100gs…
-
When do people weigh in?
Do you weigh everyday? Weekly? Monthly? I really need to stop standing on my scales…because it’s just not doing me any favours… When I see the water weight…it makes me wanna give up 😩😩😩😩

Is it a myth? Or real?
Is it a myth that you find it harder to lose weight if you eat less calories? Or is it true? I guess my body is feeding off yesterdays dinner? Before anybody shouts…I’ve had 850 calories again today…only because…I have been out all day sitting in a park in 24 degree heat…and I’ve put on 3lb in a day 😬 I weighed 11 stone 11…

Not losing weight
Hi guys Just a quick question Am I not losing weight because I’m not eating enough? I sometimes only eat about 900 calories a day…and that’s because I am at work for 12 1/2 hours.
