    I confess....

    I was the same, I slowly went back into work, I did one day a week at a pub, then did 14hrs cleaning and finally went full time last year :) Ease yourself into it. I confess that I have a food addiction :'( I'm trying to deal with it, I never realised and never thought I ate loads but the last...

    Sw and ww on different days

    Don't worry about the McChicken, just reduce tomorrows syns by 10 or something, or reduce all week by 2 syns a day? That should bounce you back up to normal Syn range :) I also wouldn't swap and change diets. Which diet do you prefer? SW or WW?

    Summer Challenge 2013.

    I would love to lose as Mich as possible by July 1st as we are off on our first family holiday (shhhh, kids have no idea, its a big surprise!) I think I could realistically lose about 2lbs a week, I think some weeks could be more or less. But, based on 2lbs per week in 16 weeks that would be...

    What Body Magic have you done today?

    Body Pump is fantastic! DO NOT DO IT if you have work/plans the next day! lol. The first time you do it, you come out thinking 'Well, that was easy', but then when you wake up, you really feel it!! It's really good though and you can start at a beginners level by just using lighter weights.

    I much prefer Zero, it tastes so much better. I find Diet has a tangy aftertaste. Zero Cherry Coke is LOVELY and reminds me of Dr Pepper in a way

    Not lost any weight in 3 weeks

    I agree with showing us the food diary. My other advice is about the exercise. You walk a lot as you've said, but I'm assuming you've done that for a while, therefore you're no longer pushing your body, your body is used to it. Try increasing the exercise perhaps? Walk up more hills? Put some...
