| Nerys, congrats on your great loss so far that's fabulous!
Given that you have alot to loose, so reasonable heavy (not offending) and that you are 6ft 3, I am very surprised that you can survive on such a low cal diet.
Most sites recommend no lower that 1200 cals per day for both nutritional reasons, and you dont want your body to think that it is staving. When this happens it holds onto all food and fluids consumed. 'My fitness pal', is a really good web site to help you track and set your weight loss targets. It calculates and adjusts your daily intake of cals with your physical activity.
Your body is loosing because you are consuming low cal but you are right in thinking the gain is because your calorie intake is not quite accurate for you.
Weight loss works by loosing fluid, then a little fat, stabilising (plateu) and then again through that cycle over and over. Keep up your water, take a multi vit and walking is enough.
I hope that I have been a little helpful for you. Once again congrats and good luck with your journey.
Bren
