  • I do a lot of gardening but only count things that are over and above my normal activity, I put myself down as moderately active so that assumes a certain level of housework and gardening. I only add gardening as extra exercise it I have done some really heavy work like digging, mowing a big area etc, just weeding a…

  • Drinking on an empty or almost empty stomach is not a good idea, it may make you want to drink even more before you realise what you are doing. Have a good filling low cal meal before you go and try drinking something that you can top up with low calorie tonic or soda. If you are having a girls night out I bet some of them…

  • Hi there, can I join in too. I haven't put on any weight over Christmas, my approach was to have a few days off then get back to recording everything by Jan 1st.

  • Just relax and enjoy it all, eat what ever you want, it is your birthday , its one meal in the whole year, don't worry about it, but get back on track the day after.

  • Well done for keeping at it. I have just joined, I have done 1 month so far and have lost 3 pounds. Not bad considering a weekend away and my husbands birthday. I have not linked up with anyone else on this web site yet but just recorded my calories and exercise on my own. I wish I had measured my waist etc at the start as…
