Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this site but NOT a newbie to dieting. At the mo I'm still counting calories, well I've been doing it for the last 8 months. I write them down religiously in my diary every day, I exercise for about 4 times a week from about 40 mins to 1 hr. What I can't work out is why when I eat around 1300-1400 calories per day I have NOT LOST a single ounce. I have tried every way from not doing any exercise and eating less to doing more exercise and eating more. Mostly fruit a veg diets - carb diets but nothing seems to work on me. I only want to lose a stone. I don't care what I eat any more just as long as it's within my calorie allowance. The other day I had a toasted turkey sarny and then a lovely piece of blueberry cheesecake (500 calories for the cheesecake). Now all that probably came to around 1100 calories (and I've added on a few extra calories for the toastie). So what's going on ???? Do counting calories work ??. I haven't eaten over 2000 cals. for the last 8 months - so something sucks eh!!
Anybody else come across this problem ?
