spooky bb - doc said it's a nasty virus and told me to stay off work till monday and stay in bed - so i've done just that today and will do tomorrow too - then see how i am for the weekend.

reporting a 0.2kg loss this week so a step in the right direction i think. victory, so glad that you have some good news!

Kimonokawaii - if you have recently increased your exercise, then chances are it's your body composition changing. Improved muscle tone will make your body stronger and heavier than if you were carrying a greater proportion of your weight as fat, but you will be smaller and more toned.

Once your body has adapted to the new routines, things should settle down as your new activity level becomes "the norm." It may change again as you lose more weight, or if you up your exercise again.

Exercise does work for weight control (although it has loads of other benefits too!). With my calorie intake of circa 2000/day I can maintain a size 8 with lots of exercise, probably a size 14 with moderate activity, and I'd be about a size 20 if sedentary.

Kimonokawaii, Missy is right in what she says, I lost my weight simply by dieting - no additional exercise. I only started exercising once I reached my lowest weight - no reason, it's just how it happened.

I now do a fair bit of exercise, mainly hiking and cycling. My measurements have stayed the same, but I am having to increase my weight to make up for the muscle - it does weigh more than fat.

A couple of weeks ago I lost weight by not exercising :rotfl:- my scales confirmed that I had more fat but less muscle.

My advice would be to combine a healthy diet with exercise to tone up whilst losing weight, you will feel so much healthier.

wait, what? penis hairdo?

and, having bought my bathroom scales yesterday, i tried 'em today and they're stuck on KG. they're supposed to do pounds and stones as well.

Typical, eh. And I've broken the scales, what does that tell you?:rolleyes:

My friend who moved to LA last year seems shocked that it rains all the time here...she's already forgotten!


Congrats everyone!

I guess it's a fault with the slimming clubs like mine SW....all the targets and goals that you set are based on the scales and although exercise is somewhat rewarded it is not actively encouraged and as a group we don't measure inches.

I feel like I'm not getting to any of my targets or goals BECAUSE of the exercise but it's more likely I'm not getting to them because of SW!

It's demotivating when other members are hitting targets every week and it's so slow going for me but I need to look at everything combined not just the scales!

Well done for being so close to your own target FFM!

Well done Mazza and Bindiboo :T
