DROPPED THE SCALES..LITERALLY I don’t keep them in the bathroom as its too much temptation to weigh daily. so I picked them up from where they are stashed…(behind lots of junk) and I dropped them, didn’t realise they’d broke til I got on and was 164. (I am usually about 198..lol) then realised the spring had come out of…

16%. doesnt sound too much...but its still a battle!!!! i will keep chipping away though

Nice one ironband I managed to resist....well i took one...took it home for my bf and i had two very small bites of it...craving satisfied with way less calories than if i'd had it myself....result!!!

I would seriously say eat some back..i aim for about half or 80%. BUT the key is use them wisely.I think if you have more calories its easy to think oh i can have a bag of crisps or a bit of this...maybe just have more on a 'training day' thats what i do...more i burn more i eat...Try not to be disheartened...you didnt…
