I know healthy food is expensive. I have moved to an area close to London where everything seems to be so much more expensive and my pay doesn't reflect the cost of living in the area

Ive only been here 3 days and seen one of three other house mates. When i house shared we share stuff and cook together and it made a difference.

Thanks guys for the tips. Im just trying to find my feet in the area, im in on site accommodation and looks like im the only that cooks properly and uses the kitchen!!

I have been using my fitness pal on and off for ages and never knew this community existed!! I only really log my calories and that's it, but can definitely see how support and friends will keep you motivated... I have weeks of being really good, keep at my goal weight then slip and binge then it's so hard to get back down.
