Has anyone else been at a stand still with their weight? I dont like it!!!

Hi Rania,

You poor thing. I can totally understand you feeling that you are doom. I am sure its a normal fear that many of us have with set backs. Good thing is, its a fixable problem. Hopefully it will all get sorted out quickly and your journey will begin.

take care

The Aussie equivallent of FitDay which is also a million times better is CalorieKing.com.au - i've been using it since day #1. There is both an aussie and USA version of calorie king and it beats fitday hands down - it's more accurate in being able to enter food poriton and brands (not all that guessing which makes cheating too easy with fitday) and with a much greater food database. You can download the desktop version (faster) and it's free trial for a week or so. Eating less than 1000cals (30% fat, 30% protien, 40% carbs) worked best for me even though the software recommended eating 1400cals.... that was too much for my body since a lot of my weight was loose skin and that doesn't use energy the way fat & muscle do (a flaw in the calorie requirement calculation as it is unable to calculate for our MO circumstance). I lost all my weight (over 50kg) in just under 12 months. I used fitday pre band for years and it allowed me to cheat myself - one of my biggest regrets because I really didn't realise I was cheating myself until I started to use Calorie King which really tells it like it is, espeically if you weigh and measure all your portions (like you need to to accurately calorie count).
