Aww don't worry hun it might just be your tea weighing heavy on ur tum lol I'm sure you haven't although its proper annoying when you're trying so hard and the scales are going up not down!! X

 

[ALB1993]

thanks, maybe I don't get it I was 9.10 then yesterday I'm 10.2 now I'm 9.13... I ate 2100 calories on one day and 2300 the next and 2700 yesterday but had 1200 today I feel so annoyed at myself feel like I'm gaining weight, I go running for 40 mins 3 times a week x

 

[glitznglamour]

I know it sounds and old cliché but could u be gaining muscle lovely? You're hardly excessive with the cals especially doing that exercise...I know if sometimes I've overdone the bread it can show on the scales as it bloats me but then it goes away in a couple of days! its a good few lbs a day fluctuating isnt it...could you be nearing the dreaded week? X

 

[ALB1993]

I never thought of that, my body seems to be a slightly different shape I think your right, I don't even know how many I should be eating a day calorie wise how do I work it out ?? x

 

[ALB1993]

I have had a lot of bread that could explain my big belly! and no just gone past that! x

 

[glitznglamour]

Daily allowance for women is 2000 cals but a 40 min run I should think you will be burning a good 400 cals? So thats why I was thinking that! I always put bloat with bread I love it tho haha! Theu do say u can gain weight as u exercise more...maybe u could measure yourself? X

 

[glitznglamour]

Whoop 3lb off!!! X

 

[kookoo]

I agree with the measuring suggestion. I'm doing 30 day shred and all the reviews I've seen warn you that you won't lose weight unless you're seriously dieting (deficit of 3,500 calories needed to lose 1 pound!) but you will lose inches- most people who've written shred reviews go down a dress size in 30 days and lose only a couple of pounds, as muscle weighs more than fat- but takes up less space!
Google images a pubs of fat VS a pound of muscle amazing! Don't be disheartened! Well done everyone- keep going! Xxx

 

[kookoo]

* a pound of fat ...not a pub of fat! Ha ha!

 

[kookoo]

 

[glitznglamour]

Wow that's an amazing pic! Just shows! Ive measured as well. I think I'll measure next week as well to see if there's much difference

 

[ALB1993]

yeah that sounds a good idea, thank you everyone. just need to buy a tape measure ! this is so random, but is it ok to have the odd treat? like if I have a high calorie pudding I feel I have to burn it off at the gym !

 

[glitznglamour]

I have a day off, usually on a Sunday I think you've got to live!!! I mean I don't go beserk on the food n drink on my 'day off' but I think its finding the right balance for me anyway. I don't think I could hack denying myself my favourite things every single day (plus id be labelled a diet bore ha) I mean each to there own n all that whats good for one might not be for another but for my tuppence worth I'd say as long as you're doing regular exercise and eating well the majority of the time then treat yourself kid!!! Xxx

 

[ALB1993]

ok bring on the Ben and Jerrys !! haha. but what if you for your naughty treats into your daily allowance ? xx

I haven't been posting much in this thread as I'm really struggling this month. But congrats to everyone on your loses so far this month. Kepp up the good work!

So just weighed myself after 7 days of the shred (and CC diet)..... I'm 9st 6lb 6 oz and I was exactly 9 stone 10 lb this time last week! Woop woop!!!
Gave me the motivation to move my butt and do today's shred first thing!

L1 D8 done! Struggled quite a bit with everything today- maybe because I played tennis yesterday? Or maybe because I missed dinner?

Only 2 days of level 1 Left- very nervous about starting level 2 on Wednesday!! Eeeeekkk!

Well done glitznglamour!! Keep going! What a great week we've had! I'm hoping for 2lb next week, but I know it'll be slower from now- and I'm off to a festival so will probably gain some alcohol pounds
