Hi Dutchcloggsred and welcome to this amazing forum. You've done really well to have lost so much weight, 3 stone in under 3 months is a massive loss. I'm afraid you're loss has slowed up because you're eating far to little. Our bodies are very clever and if we try to "starve" off excess weight they automatically switch to "famine mode" and refuse to let go of the excess.

May I ask if you have run your stats to learn your BMI and from there obtain a correct number of calories per day. If you did this when you 1st started losing weight, you need to check as you're now 3 stone lighter.

I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way around. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads. If you’re using another device I strongly suggest that you use the web page as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around.

Have a good read of the pinned post “Welcome Newbies” and follow every thread.

Here’s the link to the pinned posts, healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Here’s the link for the “Tour” of the forum. If you haven’t already taken it.

I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a Weekly Weigh in.

You will find there's loads of tips about better eating, from other members. Sharing your daily menu not only helps you stay committed, it can help other members too.

Good luck I hope to "see " you around.

Morning TTC, I had considered I wasn’t eating enough. Just followed to link to bmi still saying I’m obese ;(

I will have a look around the further links. Thank you
