I agree with sarah. I only walked so much when I was maintaining. I think your trying too hard maybe and its not working in your favour. Have a week where you don't walk as much and see if it helps x

*sarah-lou* said:Well I was looking at how much you walk, and if we wen't by the rule of 40cal to roughly 1 ap (just an estimate coming up)
2 hours of walking (2.5mph) at your weight would mean you would burn 420 is cals 420/40 = 10ish AP times that by 7 = 73 AP points.
I would say that was a massive under eat and enough to make it difficult for you to lose, plus if your not eating all your weeklies could be up to a 100pp deficit each week.
and I know you walk further and faster than that but it's just an example.
hoping this helps.

Tano said:Becky about 3 weeks ago I almost have up, I was gaining every week. I was training 4-5 times a week and I wasn't eating my AP's.
my leader told me to eat AP's and see. I lost the next week. I haven't been gym for like 5 weeks. I'm going back next week. If u exercise, it slows losses in weight, but you'll lose inches which is what makes u look smaller and those size 8-10's fit! 1lb is fab, well done xxx
dominoes said:Well done, at least it was a loss! But I do agree with the others, it does sound like you aren't eating enough. Try a week eating a few and walking less and I'm sure it'll fall off you over the next week!

My friend went to the gym twice a day the other week and only lost 1pound then hasn't been going as much and has lost more this week!

sparkledpixie said:A loss is a loss and you know what? I'd rather lose 'just' a lb and lose inches. My SW leader used to say she wished that someone would invent a diet that didn't weigh you and just measured inches because, lets face it, that's what we're all here for really. To get in a smaller size of clothes and to feel amazing about our bodies. That doesn't come from the scales, it comes from how we feel about how we look x
