I'll check my carb and calorie consumption on non-fast days and will try to fast until evening.

Thanks for the advice.

hi Purple

just wanted to say that maybe because due to the amount of exercice you do you are gaining muscle and so this will show a weight increase, following the advice on here I reduced the amount of working out I was doing each week, now I go for an hour walk with doggies 4 times a week and do some abs exercices but that about it and hey presto the weight started coming off whereas before it just wouldn't bulge grrrrrrrr
not saying it works for everyone but you may experiment with it maybe?

good luck and you'll get sure am sure :-) xx

Thanks Angie, the lack of weight loss could be due to muscle gain but I'm thinking more muscle is a good thing as it burns more calories???
Maybe I should buy a leash for my pussy cat - he needs to loose weight too ;)
I'll start to incorporate some walking and see what happens. Guess I just need to find what works for me.
Thanks
Caroline

Hi Caroline

I walk 1 hour 4 times a week with my 2 dogs, my arms ache from the pulling lol, my boy is only one year old and still trying to teach him not to pull grrrrrrrr
so am sure I burn some calories that way too :-)

am sure you'll find what works and suits you, it takes time I guess..
good luck :-) xxx
