    You might be pleasantly surprised next week! The body is a complex thing, it might just be playing a wait n see game regarding the calorie intake. If it makes you feel any better, I gained LOADS over the weekend and it's killing me to stick with it when you don't see it coming off again. Stick...

    We've all got friends like that genie, don't let it get you down. I'm sure before the diet you would have happily tucked into the whole thing without blinking, so having a couple of slices is still way better than you were before. Don't dwell on it, put it behind you and start again. Anne xx

    I can guarantee it's the amount of exercise you're doing. You may not be losing weight but I bet you're losing inches. Muscle weighs heavier than fat and it also raises the metabolism so just carry on doing what you're doing and you'll see the results. Maybe concentrate less on the numbers and...
