    So it's weigh in Saturday!! I must admit I was nervous because I've gone from thinking eating less is more weight loss to eating to be healthy and it feels like I'm eating a lot.

    Got up this morning avoiding the scales like the plague and eventually worked up the courage to do it.

    I am excited to say I've lost 1.3kgs this week!!!!

    A HUGE bottom of my now fed heart thank you to everyone that has replied. Not only with great advice but because it also keeps me actively engaged and focused on staying on track.

    I don't think I'll ever be great at this but if I can get fit and healthy again I will be one happy girl

    Also adding in dried fruits and nuts. Add peanut butter or other nut butters to apples and bananas.

    This recipe is easy and delicious. I sub out the craisins for a healthier, non-sugar added dry fruit.
