Problem with netting??
I have problems with netting - can you advise me on this? I've only been on here for like 2 months and the more I start paying attention to what I eat and how much of it the less I'm netting even though I'm stuffed at the end of the day.

If you look at yesterday's diary - I barely had 898 calories for the whole day - I burned way more than that at the gym. At dinner I tried to push myself to eat all my food but I just couldnt without feeling…

I'm going to the gym monday - friday for an hour to 2 hrs at a time.…
