  • Damn, that's tough! One thing: make sure your scales are working!! I once got really upset that my scales said I was 10lbs heavier than I had weighed in 2 weeks ago - turns out they were just dodgy. You'll definitely be gaining muscle mass, which can account for more weight than you'd believe. I had pretty much the same…
  • Corn thins are very snacky but also very low in calories, a few of them with a mug of tea might help
  • I'm not very socail on here, but a tip for motivation might be to get a tumblr blog and make it a 'fitblr', following other fitness blogs for a bit of motivation and inspiration whenever you like. (My blog is becoming-the-black-widow.tumblr.com if you want to check it out).

Perhaps you should seek psychological help from a counsellor, or at least speak to a friend or family member. And, of course, stop under…
  • Check your thyroid and metabolic age - you don't have to track them, but a slow thyroid or metabolism can make a huge (negative) impact.
  • White sauce over a cup of broccoli, half a cup of spinach and a few mushrooms, top with crushed cornflakes and a little reduced fat mature cheddar. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees centigrade for 20 minutes. It's about 250 calories, contains 17 grams of protein and 135% of your daily vitamin C intake. Plus, it's very…
