Before I start this thread I'm going to put a disclaimer
I KNOW this isn't a sustainable or healthy way to lose weight long term, please don't pile in to tell me to eat less and move more.
Right now that's out the way,
I am using a supply of shake based meal replacement I had in the store cupboard, I'm loathed to throw 3 unopened boxes away so I thought id following this plan until I run out and lead into calorie counting using mfp.
I've been logging the shakes/food in currently having and coming in at 1100-1200 cals a day.
I am also breastfeeding my 1 yr old.
She still has a lot of milk.
I'm 5ft and I weighed 10st 11 at the start and then dropped 3lbs th first week, this week I've gained 2lbs back!
Wtf? How can it be possible to fail at such an easy diet?
I'm having 1 shake for breakfast, 1 for lunch and something like a stirfry, omelette, spagbol for dinner. If I get hungry in the day I have fruit or veg but only a small amount.
I am moderately active during the day.
So what's gone wrong? I could cry this morning after jumping on the scales, I used to be able to drop weight easily but this past year I've just been stuck between a few lbs no matter what I do and it's really getting me down.
I've got a week left of shakes before they're all gone so I'm going to keep going as it seems a shame to waste them but I need to get this weight shifting!
