Vidonn X5 4.0 ?
Does anyone have one of these? It's basically a cheap fitbit. Now, I know you get what you pay for and all that, but I definitely can't afford £100. Whereas a Vidonn is only £24. Anyone used one or know of they're half decent? Please let me know :)

Does drinking water really help you lose weight?
Obviously its lower in calories than full fat coca cola. But what about the diet alternatives? Will i really lose more weight if i drink my 8 glasses of water rather than say 3 cans of pepsi max? Has anyone eaten the same calories for 2 weeks but had only water the second week? I've been curious about this for a while, i…

This Saturday will be week 12 in my journey, I joined the gym this week, and I have literally never had this much…

This is too easy or I'm doing something wrong?
Every time I've started this journey before I have given up pretty soon. And struggled every single day of that journey. But this time, it hasn't felt that way at all.

What keeps you motivated on this journey?
What keeps you motivated on this journey? Mines health, happiness, holidays and clothes. I know walking up the stairs shouldn't be a chore, and bending down to tie your shoe laces shouldn't be hard.

This is what i looked like when i first met my fiance, and i still can't believe it, but i thought i was fat, my whole family is a size 8, so if there was ever an argument, my weight would be the first thing mentioned.
