Nope, not about themselves or us. If only we could learn to love ourselves all this feeling crappy cos of gaining half an ounce would be avoided x

could be something in that calorie storage but you usually know when you haven't had enough food to eat...light headed and lacking in energy does give you a clue...:) GBHs...XXX

The body does do that and will hoard calories and eat muscle before fat. As long as you are not hungry and only really eat when you are you will be the weight you are meant to be. It should be all about how you feel, not the numbers on the scales. If you have a small frame you probably won't ever be huge. As long as you feel healthy and are reasonably fit it doesn't matter if you put on a few pounds after pigging out for a week x

I have heard the body goes into 'starvation mode' when it isn't given much food so stores the calories instead of burning them.

My Mum is big, dad was a beanpole. Sister is about 7 stone but that is due to her illness.

I think it was perhaps the flu I had. I reckon my body burned more calories to fight the virus.

Weight loss is so frustrating...sometimes you stand on the scales and you've lost two or three pounds...but you know you've been eating bics and the odd cake and still lost it...then another week you can eat like a bird and lose absolutely nothing...You're 5.4 inches tall so around 9 stone is a healthy weight...before you were very thin...but I've a friend who is 5.9 and she's around 7 stone two or three pounds but is very healthy...it's hereditary as well I think...both my parents were very slim...never saw an ounce of fat on either of them...we've only one rather large sibling and he eats massive amounts of food so that's why...don't think you'll find you've put on much weight after your week with your Mum...:) Hope you haven't anyway...GBHs...XXX

Maybe it is all the stress you have been under? Sometimes our body processes food differently when under stress. x

Eat it. It is just an illusion. Remain fully present; engaging all of your senses and you WILL enjoy it all the more.....repeat this mantra as you eat.....the more chocolate I eat the skinnier and healthier I get.....and so it is :o)

I have to say that I feel as if I have lost weight, even if my scales claim I haven't. I guess it must be turning to muscle :)

I hear you my friend. It is amazing how many calories food actually has and you are smart to start counting as there are 'hidden' calories everywhere! x

Bleghhh..Calories! I hate that word. Am sick of looking on the back of packets to see how many it contains!

Don't forget though that the calories you burn off can also get added back on to your daily total..Therefore giving you extra calories to consume..Or not used will speed up your weight loss.. I know which one id go for..Its not alot of calories for a whole day really..Especially when a slice of white bread contains around 100calories!

Your doing really well..And I bet you have lost weight and are looking good..You just don't notice it as you see your self everyday and as its graudual to you. :) xx

Had to laugh at those charts of your calorie intake...measured mine once and I should have been eating loads more for my size, which is ridiculous as I was needing to lose weight not put it on...:) GBHs...XXX

I just went and read up on it. He mainly cut out carbs by the look of things. I eat a lot of bread. Not much in the way of tatties though. I'm more rice and noodles. I have a Pilates DVD that has never been in the player.

I'd be very very skinny, about the same as those pics on Facebook (I looked ill in some of them)

He went to the gym a lot, I remember him 'tweeting' about it.

I bought a pilates dvd the other day (well cheap, £5 from play dot com) so I'm gonna use that to help. It has burning exercises as well as core muscle stuff.

Crikey. I wonder what diet he followed, or if it was just calorie controlled? SIx stone is A LOT! Crikey - I'd be dead if I lost 6 stone!

I will have a look online and see if I can see him.
