Yep me too. My scales went up 2lb this morning from yesterday. The food I ate would not weight two pounds and I went for an hours walk.

Why not get a step counter that tells you how many calories you have burnt. Then if you have a very active day you can allow yourself to eat a little more. Also have you included a low GI food like porridge? It is low calorie and leaves you feeling full. Good luck Keep going.

Good luck mummum. Keep us posted on your progress.
