Thanks for your advice :) I guess it's just a case of persevering. Previously I was eating a low amount of calories but of unhealthy foods and felt a bit rubbish, and I'm trying to replace this with healthy meals so maybe I should focus on this rather than the number on the scale. @Psulemon - how did you find exercising…
