Hi,
I am new to this site!
After having my baby a year ago, I am now 12st 11lb.
I started a VLCD (very low calorie diet) 2 weeks ago. I lost 3lb the first week which is apparently not much on this kind of diet. I then went out for a meal (family event) which made me put on 2lb!
I managed to get down to 12st 9lb, but last night I had a curry and some chocolate, and this morning I am now 12st 11lb again!
I am really confused as to how I could put on 2lb after just one meal - twice!!
I am currently on 600 calories a day, and as I am only 5'2'' tall, I would like to get down to at least 9st 7lb.
Just really confused, everyone I spoke to says you should lose 7-10lb the first week and 4-5lb every week after that (about a stone per month). Yet I do not seem to be doing this.
How can one meal be enough to make me put on 2lb, considering that I would have needed to eat an extra 7,000 calories which I did not?
I am unable to do much exercise as I have SPD, although I will be doing a workout dvd as much as poss starting tomorrow.
