Hi positive16. Half a pound is not much to worry about but I would agree that you should write all your calories down. It is so easy to overestimate or forget what you have eaten. Sorry you have been walking a lot but not lost weight but maybe it is the guesstimating that is letting you down. I am sure once you keep within your calorie allowance and keep up with the walking you will soon see the results on those scales. Best of luck :)

I have to measure, calculate and write down - it's so easy to convince myself I've not eaten something otherwise

# nteapea - thanks I will have a look, I did like the other as it has pictures of the food, making my calorie counting easy, but each day I didn't know how to store the calories, I am a techno failure, bought small calorie book, but I have normally eaten the food by time I have found it in the book!!
