Want to lose a stone in weight but can't shift it no matter what i try

Do you even know how many calories you have been eating lately. This is a big thing to do with your weight. I used to on average only eat around 1000 Cals a day even though I always thought I ate lots more. Check how many you should have on the NHS bmi calculator to lose weight and never managed to lose weight on any diets that I did. This gives you personal details whereas the other sites that can give you amounts to have tend to just give average amounts which is why this is the best one to use. If you don't eat enough calories your body thinks you are starving it and turns what you eat into body fat and this weighs more than eating the extra calories does so it stops you from losing weight and sometimes puts weight on instead. Since I have started eating the right amount of calories advised I have managed to lose 2 1/2st so far. You should hear from an administrator sometime soon with information on how to use the site. Good luck with your journey.

Hello springtm and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

I can feel your frustration, but HubbysMissMouse is right, you need to eat the correct number of calories. Please check your target range using the NHS BMI checker. Also,join us on the Daily Diary then we can help with your meal choices 😊

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you. Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page. And if you just want to chat, to say hello or share any news or struggles then look out for What's Happening Today thread.

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too. If you have any questions please just ask

Best wishes

Anna
