I have averaged 700 calories for the last three days and lost a total of just 100g - depressing! 

Are you weighing and recording the intake correctly? I tend to estimate a bit sometimes but over estimate it. It does seem strange that your not losing weight but it could be that fat is turning into muscle ? I only record weight once per week on here but do keep checking it each day and find it does fluctuate daily but as long as in a week you get results. There are weeks when you might lose fat gain muscle lose inches but stay the same weight. Good luck and stick at it.  

thanks Dave 10 - really appreciate the input. I weigh daily as I need the immediate input as each day is such a challenge - it's so easy not to be good (which is why we find ourselves in this position). there is some estimating going on so that may be my starting point - it's definitely not muscle! 😂 

You are welcome Maxine. Keep determined it is not easy it's a slow process and takes a lot of hard work but you can do it. There are lots of people on here that will be able to give you good positive advice.  

Hi Maxine, why not try to use the calorie counting as your daily fix? Make the number of calories and be happy with that or use it as your motivation to do better. Weighing every day can be destructive as different foods have varied impacts on water retention etc. Remember a pee can weigh between 1 and 2 lbs and the other the same too.
