I haven't weighed myself or done measurements but my hub agrees that I have put weight on round my middle and in my face :-(
I don't know what else to do ... If I go back to 1200 that's apparently not enough but if I eat 1500 I pile on the weight :-(
I don't know what to do ... I'm at a very low loss :-(

Would rather be sleeping.
How long have you been eating 1500 instead of 1200. If its only a week or so its probably just bloating and you're body panicking and holding onto fat.
Its like when you have a big big meal/night out the scales can show a 4lb gain. There is no way that you've eaten 14000 extra calories but you're body is just holding on to it.
It normally drops off pretty quick.

If you're eating less than your TDEE you will lose weight..albeit not as wuickly but the fat will come off instead of muscle. There's no way you're TDEE is less then 1500, therefore you're at a deficit.

I so feel you there ive out inches on I am getting so pissed about dieting I had a full day off and enjoyed it. Tomorrow I'm going to jog/walk to burn it off and have the gym on Tuesday. I just need to burn off the excess and I know I've put on an inch here and there but hell I give up. I'm just going to try and keep.going.

Hun, on my 'lazy days' I still burn around 2500 cals from doing practically no housework and a little bit of cooking. If you're on 1500 that means you're on a deficit on 1000 cals a day which means a 2lb loss each week. Any exercise is going to boost that. Yes, you can put on during the first week or two as your body is suddenly being fed again...before it was in starvation mode and now it's clinging on to every nutrient it can get. Once it realises it's not going to have it's food taken away again, you'll start dropping the weight.
Simple body science means that you should be able to eat up to 2500 (AT LEAST) and still maintain.

Not such a fat kat now :)
My doctor checks me for an under active thyroid every now and again as I show symptoms but nothing in the blood. But that's not unusual for me. Anyway he says trying to lose weight with an under active thyroid is like trying to climb a mountain after a very heavy rai fall- one step forward, three back
Ill try and find the podcast. They did so many. It was what scared me at first but I was lucky I didn't gain

My GP says if I'm medicated everything goes back to normal ..!!!
My husband is also a GP and he agrees that it has a detrimental effect despite medication and bloods now "normal"..!!!!

I think you have done the right thing for you ... see how it goes for a couple of weeks ... you can always readjust again in January
I haven't lost anything for weeks! Just can't seem to find my happy cals! However, I can't say I've been consistent - pesky Christmas do's keep getting in the way

Yes, resistance is futile! As long as we don't fall off the wagon completely we'll be fine

It might be worth investing in a bodymedia band. It tells you the exact amount of calories you've burnt for the day and is great for calculating how much you can eat. <3

I have a fitbit and a hrm for exercise. They help but I think I'm obsessing to much. Dr tomorrow maybe some light will be shed on my issues and what route to take.
