Its really hard to see where it may be going wrong without seeing some sort of food diary or ideas even about the meals you have. You do a lot of exercise which tones your body rather than creates weight loss. If you can post even an example of a couple of days food intake then maybe we can advise better, and help you

How tall are you? Could it be that you are a healthy body weight for your height?
The contraceptive implant will not stop you losing weight.
Exercise will help hun, it's so good for us, but it doesn't make the weight fall off much quicker for many of us, although it can help.
Has your consultant helped you? SW do actually say you can have your money back if you don't lose weight in 4 weeks, providing you give your consultant your food diaries each week and are showing to be following it correctly.
We need some more info to help hun. xx

Hi again,
I never do original days so am afraid i would be useless to advise on those. Your diaries look relatively fine. I find my best losses come from Green or EE days when i have had several lots of superspeed food. You eat a lot of fruit and veg which is good. My wee tip i guess would be to try having baked beans in the 2/3 days before WI. When i feel my week has gone bad or my scales aren't showing any losses, i try to have beans at least once a day in the 3 days before WI and i swear that for me, it works. I find i pop them into anything now from Spicy Mince to pasta bake and so on.
Its always important to listen to your body so if your consultant can;t help, its maybe an idea to visit your GP especially if it is distressing you. They can maybe advise you better than your SW Consultant.
Good luck, x

You seem to be having your hexs, syns & fruit & veg so I can't see anything wrong.
The only suggestion I would make is try having something different for breakfast.

I know it's little consolation but I was so relieved to read your post. I'm in exactly the same boat and have a similar story. i'm coming up to my 8th week and started off at 9st 10 and am now 9 st 11. I run 15 miles a week and it hasn't helped. Spookily, I think the the implant I have (mirena), may be having some kind of impact in making weight loss a near impossible task, but that's just a feeling I have. Hey ho, I'm going to persevere and hope that something budges. I just want to get down to 9 st, but having a real struggle. It's a little disheartening but we can but try. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.:wave_cry:

I've had the mirena for a few years now, and I've successfully managed to lose 3 stone. There's no reason why it should stop you losing weight hun.

tinytots, your food diaries look ok to me - but I have to wonder (and I know this is going to sound counter-intuitive) if you're eating enough, considering how much exercise you're doing. If you're running 20+ miles a week, plus doing exercise classes and also DVDs, that sounds like a pretty high calorie burn - it could be that your body is clinging on to every calorie you eat for dear life!
I know it's hard, but try to be a bit kinder to yourself - stress doesn't help your metabolism either, unfortunately. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but if you feel like you're slipping back into your eating disorder, it might be an idea to go back to your doctor for a bit more help. *hugs*

That's quite encouraging to know! Thanks for that.
hiya, thanks everyone for all the advice and support really appreciate it im going to keep perservering and hopefully things will start to happen i was down at the docs today and she suggested removing the implant as all the bad symptoms not just weight gain but uncontrollable periods, hot flushes etc are coming from the implant and she reckons it could be causing my body to cling onto the weight because of the eating disorder and with me eating 'normal' again that the hormone is seeing my body as only going into adolescents so its holding onto the fat......it really sounds complicated to me but hey am not a doc so cant argue lol if theres no change with the implant out then i think ill jus concentrate on getting my motabolism stable and treating my body more kindly
