Default please help (with some advice).

i have stuggled with my weight for many years and tried various diets with little results (lack of will power).
But this time i have had some sucess im eating between 900 and 1200 calories a day on top of that im excercising for at least 1 hour a-day (30mins cycling and 30mins Wii fit). My start weight was 15.11 and now im 14.13 and i was excited at the thought of loosing my first stone BUT i weighed my self last night and i had gained a pound how could that be?
I was mortified when i discoverd this.
Ultimately im hoping to get to around 11 stone but that seems a very long way away right now.

Hiya, weight can fluctuate slightly throughout the day, you should always weigh your self at the same time, you will find on rising you are at your lightest......also if you are gaining muscle through excercise that actually weighs more than fat so even though the scales say you have gained weight it isnt necessarily fat. Keep up the good work you should be really proud of yourself.

I agree that your weight can fluctuate and and also that the exercise will build muscle that is heavier so sometimes it's better to see how you are losing inches off waist, hips etc as a guide. Are your clothes looser? But don't forget it's important to make sure that not only are you limiting your calorie intake but ensure that they are not empty calories that require a disproportionate amount of enengy to burn off compared to their nutrien value.
