Not having the best of weeks at this, but making some progress!! Didn't meet my step goal on Tuesday and unlikely to today as I have a really busy day ahead and just can't see where I'll fit in a walk... I still have an average of 13371 over the past 4 days so hopefully I'll maintain an average of over 12000 for the rest…

When I started out on this weight loss journey last February I was in a similar place... really down, stressed, tearful, couldn't sleep but never really felt awake either... I actually took 3 weeks out of work and didn't tell the kids. Just dropped them to school as normal and dragged myself around a park for an hour every…

Think you've hit the nail on the head!! Looking back now, it's been quite a while since I've had a rest day! Will be taking it easy for a few days... I'm in this for the long haul so a few days won't matter much! I had a 2 week holiday last month and still managed to lose 1lb despite being all inclusive as I stayed active!!

I usually get a sushi lunch pack with 8 pieces (basic rice, fish and veggies) and it weighs 180gm including wasabi, ginger and soy sauce... The pack contains 265 calories... hope this helps...

Thanks Nikola... would you believe I actually can't find any previous photos to compare with, I've loads of my husband and kids and any ones with me in them I'm at the back, as if hiding... I HATE photos being taken... I'm actually thinking that it's the tiredness that has me feeling so negative! Think a lie in is needed…

I so hear you on this... I cook daily for a family of 5 and quite often we have mashed potato... For the first few weeks I weighed the amount of raw potato I was cooking, it generally came in at c. 900g... Once mashed I use a scoop to portion out the potato mash and counted the yield from the original raw weight... This…

Well I'm back and this morning weighed in 5lb heavier, but this was first thing this morning and I only got home at 2am... This is an interesting experiment for me as I've only just started to realise the impact of water weight.. I also noticed that I was a lot fitter on this holiday and able to do more walking and…
