I lost 1.8lbs last week (according to my scales, I am very skeptical).

Bearing in mind I had 2 days worth of food thanks to a free takeaway on Sunday night I am impressed with that.

This isn't evidence for anybody to actually go and do it, but even though I stick to 1800kcal a day and add all my exercise (usually 500-1000, due to 4 miles walking to uni and back and a run sometimes), I still seem to lose around 2lbs a week despite cheat days. I think, and I could be wrong, that part of the reason for this is because I only eat natural foods. Here is a typical day for me:- (the figures I put in brackets are the figures MFP knows, and the grams are what I think it is ish)

B: 30g porridge with 150ml whole milk and 10g honey (250kcal)
S: 4 eggs (280kcal)
L: 350g Potatoes, 200g Sweetcorn, 65g Tuna (450kcal)
S: 2 small bananas (100kcal)
S: 20g Cashews/10g Walnuts (200kcal?)
Bolognaese with lots of mushroom, onion etc... and 75g pasta (600-650kcal) OR Creme fraiche, bacon, peas, onion, mushroom and 75g pasta (600-650kcal)
S: Yoghurt with banana, grapes and honey (200kcal)
S: McVities Hobnobs (I will learn how to make my own soon but htye were 5 for 65p) (150kcal)

All in all there are around 2400kcal there, so perhaps a bit too much for some people, but then there is a lot of food. The bolognaese is made with lots and lots of veg so it is a very big portion. It would be easy for some to eat less than I do but still keep the gist of what it is. I know you would read this on any well-to-do weight loss forum/website but I feel much better for eating as many natural foods/fruit/veg as I can!

Anyway, best of luck everyone and thanks for all the support on here!

Morning. Happy to say its 2lbs off for me this week. Hopefully back on track

Hi!
A small loss for me too! 0.5 Kg which is 1.1 lb.

..but now I am confused..!! I think now I am currently down with +1.54 so the loss of 1.1 would still leave me over, but I am actually below my starting point for this challenge..

Let me start all over, I must have considered the wrong weight at some point!

Starting point for this challenge: 62.50 or 9.84 st
Gained weight and STS for the past 3 weeks: 62.80 or 9.88 st
Loss: 62.3 or 9.81 st

Why am I so air headed!?!?!?!? :huh: The sad truth is: I can never do things straight forward in real life either!

KW: Let's change +1.54 with -0.03, please!! Thanks

sparrer

A 1lb loss for me this week please KW. Slow but steady

B - 2 slices wm with rf spread, marmalade
L - egg and mushrooms on a slice toasted plain wm
D - veg pasta with broccoli, carrot, cauli, onion and pesto
S - slice melon, celery, carrot batons
E - 7x6 mins with Mr W. General housework

Have a sunny day whatever the weather

Yippee! 2lb loss (last week's gain plus an extra pound).:j
Not been very active but had children all the time on my own, so not much resting either. I am very achy, especially my lower back so must have been doing something. Have eaten chocolate but in moderation this week. Also have eaten 3 good meals a day. Trying to average less than 2 rounds of bread a day by having salads at lunch instead of sandwiches.
