Gidday from Australia, Im an Adeladian and over two years ago I managed to drop almost 20 kg. But since I started working shift hours I have slowly packed the weight back on. I stopped going to gym because I wanted a break , but I know I need to go back. I give in to easily to eating the wrong foods. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi all! First advice is to drink as much water as you can preferably the 64oz daily. Its OK if you have to work up to that. Second your exercise routine should be something you enjoy. So if that means you take a 10 min walk 3 or 4 times a day then do that. Realize your weight did not come on overnight, so it won't go away that soon either. Learn to listen to your body. And incorporate as much fresh food as you can.
    Send me a friend request if you'd like & best of luck!

    Just stay in your calorie range and you will be fine.
