Starting again sensibly in the Uk
Hi all, I have been away for a fair few months as I lost motivation in tracking. While I can be healthy without tracking it usually results in me going over the top with food!

Will junk food cause a weight gain even with exercise?
Hi all, I know this isn't healthy and as you can see from my diary it is not something I do a lot of, but for the last 2 days I have walked approximately 9 miles each day in the snow (pulling my 4 year old niece constantly on a sledge for around 3.5 miles of this each day). Halfway through our walk we have been to a…

Teaching calories?!
Hi all, Just wondering if I should invest in one of those heart rate monitors that tells you what you are burning throughout the day?
