There are a whole host of factors why some folk don’t appear to lose weight, but read my post ‘for those who think it cant /doesn’t/won’t work’ – once you’ve read that, and as long as you are happy to be patient and not expect miracles overnight it will work.

I used to train at a high level in sport and we had to make weight for certain competitions – some team members could drop weight incredibly quickly others took weeks and months yet we all did the same training and ate similarly – over time if you stock to the plan you will lose wight

If you weight yourself every hour for 72 hours (or at least the ones you are awake) you will see there is a huge variation in our daily/weekly weights (and after you’ve done that don’t weigh yourself by the hour ever again!the point is that if you only weigh once a week (and I’m not suggesting that you do otherwise) that you may or may not hit a light or heavy weigh ion day – its only once you get significantly away from a certain weight that you are guaranteed even on a heavy day of showing a weight loss

Just a question. What if the weight is going down (albeit slowly) but the inches are only crawling? I have lost 3kg in 3 weeks but only 1.5cm off my waist and 2cm off hips (which is where I don’t want). No change in the measurements over the last 2 weeks!!!

hmb26101977, you might have misunderstood, I have lost weight but the measurements have not changed much. Not sure why, been drinking lots of water, eating to my TDEE and not eating more than 500 cals on my fast days. Maybe I just need to be patient.

Y eah I realised after I wrote it but went back to teach and only just got home. Maybe it is being patient and remember good things come to those who wait.
