Hello - I think I see less of you...

[LeighBosworth]

...as the tales of success are impressive (so there's less of you to see...do you see?)

Anyway, I'm new here. Just finished a local NHS Weigh Ahead programme (8 weeks of dietician advice and circuit class workouts, plus post-course weigh ins). My weight loss was only 3lbs over this time BUT it proved I eat healthily, exercise well and cause head scratching because:

My diet was analysed (separately to the course) and I take in 1800/2000 cals a day on average. I walk a lot - my Fitbit tells me 100,000 steps a week and a daily burn of 4000 cals. A lot of this is canal and river walks where I live, with lunchtime walks from work 3 days a week.

So 2000 cals in & 4000 out. Therefore (!) I must be losing weight - but I'm not. Anyone else have a similar scenario. I know there will be sceptics who think I must eat deep fried Mars bars in my sleep but I honestly don't.

PS I'm 18 stone, if that has any bearing on things.

Hello and welcome LeighBosworth 😊

I am a very slow loser so can sympathise, but if you lost 3lbs every 8 weeks in a year that would be one and a half stone 😊 Better off than on 😊

Have a good look at the Newbie Club post and read all the information, and please ask if you have any questions 😊
