Still struggling! I'm getting on the exercise bike though and will at least keep that side of things going well - just having trouble stopping eating when the meal is over. I hate that, and it has not been a problem for a long time. Not sure why it is rearing its ugly head now, but I'll get to work on it. I did not report in yesterday - it was pretty well a write-off. I was in the car for many hours, and just too tired when arriving home to do much.
