    Is the 1st stone really the hardest???

    Keep at it livi, you will get there. I now its seems like alot of effort for small losses but if you weren't puttin in that effort more than likely you would continue to put on weight. Use the support of your consultant. Ask him/her to check your food diary just to see if there is anything...

    Keeping motivated when everyone else is 'cheating and getting away with it'?

    I witness this at class aswell but i've realised that everyones journey is so different. Some people fast track some people much about for a bit. If found the best thing i can do is concentrate on my own journey and try not to stray myself. Try not to feel down, stay positive and keep going!! x
