Have you dropped your points as the pounds have come off? For every stone you lose I think you have to drop down a point.....maybe wrong, so feel free to clarify!

Have you tracked everything? Are you exercising more recently?

Hmm... :huh:

the_devil_made_me_do_it

I have dropped a point, since I have only lost a stone. I have also tracked what I have eaten.

As for exercising, hmm, I guess I have been walking/riding my bike a bit more this past week, nothing major tho', just cause the weather has been nice.

If it's the exercise, how can the weight gain be combatted? I don't want to gain weight I've worked hard to loose.

If it is exercise making you gain then it will be because you are gaining muscle which is good and increases your metabolism (or so I was told in my gym management training) Are you measuring? You may find you are losing inches - gaining muscle does not mean you're getting larger/fatter. I used to (hopefully) reassure our members that no one knows their actual weight and how often did people pick them up and carry them around to find out iyswim but I know its hard in your own head and have trouble believing it when its my own body i'm talking about. We used to do measurements every 4 weeks and majority of those who had put a little bit of weight on one month actually lost inches and also saw a change in their body shape/dropped a dress size. We measured bust, waist, hips, arm and thigh once a month.

I don't know if I'm helping or wibbling on..

Still thinking....drinking enough? Eating a variety of different foods?

I really am rambling and I should be concentrating on the goings on with Sir Alan Sugar :-)

Haven't measured, only been getting on the scales. I don't actually feel as if I've lost inches, especially since I'm avoiding trying new clothes on

I will be getting weighed again tomorrow, so if I've put anymore weight on, I'll start measuring.

Are you eating enough? Have plenty of no point soup and veggies to fill you up. Works for me if I stay the same or gain a bit.

I was gutted, stuck with it all week and worked out 5 times, only lost 1.5 pounds, moving to low carb...

Dont give up, some people will find they have a smaller loss than they were hoping for in the first week. Keep at it - it does work. Where has your motivation gone that you had so much of last week.

I have stayed the same for the last 2 months, this is because I am not allowed to do anything after a heart scare. I have kept going to meetings and on here because if I didn't I would have put on weight whilst sitting on my bum.

Keep smiling

I'm still full of motivation to loose weight, but know that if I'd been low carbing I would have lost at least 5 lbs.
I have about 10 stone to loose overall, so a 1.5 weight loss for the first week is just silly.
I had 30 points per day as my diet is already pretty healthy only the day I had a piece of cake did I manage to eat 30 points...
