Hi
I am trying to lose around half a stone or maybe more, as i am towards the upper end of the scale with my BMI.
Now i usually try it and give up after not seeing changes after a couple of weeks, so i have tried very hard to stick this one out.
It has been over 6 weeks now and i still havent lost any weight. I have cut my calorie consumption down, i am eating salads instead of pasta or sandwiches for my dinner and i have cut my portion sizes down for my tea. For snacks i am eating fruit! I have bought myself a step counter and i have been doing around 10,000 a day, which means i am moving around a hell of alot more than i used to.
But im still not seeing any results...no wonder i always give up on these things! Why cant i lose weight when everyone around me finds it so easy!?!
Thanks

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. It could be a sign of an number of underlying health problems, thyroid function, PCOS or something else. It definately sounds worth having a chat with your GP about.
Breakfast:- cereal with skimmed milk
Snack:- Piece of fruit (either banana, plum or pineapple)
Lunch:- Salad (lettuce, tomatoes and onions) with prawn or tuna with low fat dip
Snack:- Low fat choc mousse or piece of fruit
Dinner:- Either spag bolognaise with small portion of spahetti, chilli with small portion of rice, salmon with jacket potato and salad or veg
If in a sweet mood a low fat choc mousse for desert
I also drink only water throughout the day.
Any ideas where i'm going wrong?
