I am 10 st 4.5 with my fist target set to 10. I really want to get to 9 but am really slow to shift it. I have changed to red days and only eat till I am full. Syncs are almost non existent monday to Friday and I do have some over the weekend. All help would be greatly appreciated.

I know it sounds odd but maybe your not eating enough? If your exercising loads and not eating much then perhaps your going into
Starvation? Try having 1500 a day but do it for the whole week, don't have loads more on a weekend, maybe allow yourself 2000 on a sat night but then 1500 every other day, don't eat back your exercise cals and keep
On with that and see what happens after a week. X

gettingfit said:When I got stuck I ditched the rice,potatoes,pasta,bread and it started falling off.May not work for everyone but if your fed up with scales not moving like I was then a couple of weeks without rice etc won't do you any harm.
The only exercise I do is walk every day.
Great thanks. I'm gonna try ditching carbs then. Did you still count cals and if so how many-I can see your heavier weights were similar to what mine are now. X

Ah! There may be your answer hun - so many girlies fall into this category - when you start to exercise apparently your body hangs onto fluid to protect the joints. Think of the heavy impact caused by Shred! It WILL come off and you WILL change shape but there's a couple of things you can do to help:
Drink lots of water
Nett no less than 1200 cals
Try not to estimate cals in and cals burnt
Stick with it! You'll get there hun x
(if I'm talking complete tosh I'm sure someone will be along to correct me)

i think the problem with most people is the weekends, or social events. im desperately trying to not feel like if i have a night out like its the end of the world and that ive blown my diet, cos its not, its where you go from there, if you have days of eating too much then of course weight isnt going to come off, but if you allow yourself a night out, but make allowances around it, increase the exercise, lower the cals, eat healthier foods, cut back on carbs, drink more water then it shouldnt make a difference. in order to stick to a healthy eating regime long term it needs to be sustainable, and who could go the rest of their life only having 1200 cals every single day? there are times when we eat a little more, there are times when well drink too much but its all about moderation. i gave myself friday and saturday 'off' so to speak, still tracked cals and i was over, but i allowed myself to do it, so i dont feel guilty or bad, and today im ready to recommit to eating less and eating healthier. if weekends are always your downfall then change how you deal with them instead of feeling guilty every week because you always go over on a weekend...does that make sense lol?

dont look back at what you were, it does no good, weight loss is mostly about your psychological state, if your fully committed and 100% focused then it will come off, if like majority of people you have a life that involves stress, social events and other things that get in the way, sometimes its harder than others to lose weight. are you taking your measurements? spometimes when you exercise you can shrink in size but the scales dont seem to budge, do you drink lots of fluids, this really does make a massive difference. my fluid intake has been hurremdous this week, im trying to make a conscious effort to drink at least 4 pints of nas juice or water a day.
