  • You can't out exercise a bad diet. Carbs. That's all I see in your post. Carbs.

  • My best friend and I are holding a dinner party - rather than going out drinking and getting pizza! We're cooking healthy... not that everyone coming needs to know that ;) We've agreed that each of us will buy/make a "naughty" treat. That's as far as the splurge goes!

  • I am an emotional eater. It took me a long time to admit that. I opened up a blog (not public yet - I'm too scared!) and days when I'm feeling particularly emotional and I'm aware that I'm searching the biscuit cupboard or the crisps basket, I turn to my blog. I write down EXACTLY how I am feeling and what it's making me…

  • For me, I didn't get the hungry stage when I first dropped carbs. I would eat (and still do eat) my meals/snacks no more than 2.5 hours apart with high protein and fibre.

  • We all mess up sometimes, it's human nature. It's amazing how much not tracking can have an effect.

Be consistent in your tracking again hun and you'll be back on track before you know it.

  • Firstly, well done for wanting to make the change! When I started my journey I had a week where I ate as I normally would and tracked it all. It got me into the routine of tracking what I eat, and I was surprised by how much I was eating!!! I then went about setting myself a long term goal (to lose nearly 200 lbs) and…
