you probably are not eating enough, low calories doesn't mean good weight loss. If I don't follow the slimming world plan i don't get a good weight loss, but when i follow it and eat more i loose.

Hello Ladies, thanks for the quick replies, yes I am definitely adding them right, I am using fitnesspall and a fitbit scales and pedometer. A friend suggested slimming world because she thinks I am not eating enough. Thought it was calories in and calories out?

How many meals are you having daily? Maybe snacking on fruit throughout the day will help keep your metabolism running consistently?

I have 3 meals a day - I didn't used to have breakfast but now I do. I think I may up my fruit intake

It's so disheartening Sad

I lost 3 stone on SW last year into this. You need to.eat loads of fruit and veg and snack every couple of hours to.keep metabolism up. If you reduce your intake too low, your metabolism really slows down.
