ok due to the fact that my weight appears to be going no where, i have decided to start afresh with a new diet after talking with sk1nny this morning, i am going for calorie counting starting off at 1800 cals per day will have to see how it goes over the first week or so as i am new to calorie counting and have no idea on what is what etc so when i am recording all my foods i may find i am way over or way under until i get the hang of it, i have deleted all my previous weight history as i find it quite demotivating to look at so wish me luck will start tomorrow, will use todays weigh in as a start point, if i do not lose on the 1800 cals then i will drop to 1600 and so on, hoping for a better weight loss now :-)  

Yeah.... I am 100% positive that you will be successful calorie counting.... Providing you count EVERYTHING. Go girl go :-) 

Oooh....don't forget to go into "enter exercise" and save the preset sleep etc calories - you can then keep track,. of your 'net calories' I always leave it as the presets and only put in scheduled exercise - eg if you do your wii fit and it gives you calories...... You can go right down to the end of the exercise list and click on ' custom' for those. X 

hey mummy i think i have set the exercise as a default is this the right think to do not sure if you can view it? any way in says cals burned 2530?? 

just double checked that it is 2530 what does that actually mean that i have burned that by resting and sleeping? 

Yep... That's right :-). Your body uses calories to circulate your blood and digest your food etc..... So you can see by eating 1800 you are already down over 500+ cals a day. So, if you can keep at that calorie count, you should DEFINATELY loose a pound a week - even allowing for deviances :-)
