    Hi, not been here for a while, life just takes over! How exciting going to Australia & watching your son play rugby, what an amazing experience.

    You know I had a bad cough September time & it took weeks to go, DD also had it & we're both not sickly people, so I reckon its a pretty bad virus out there which is still doing the rounds. Ohhh dear, you'll soon get rid of that, the better weather will be here soon so you can get out cycling more.

    tweaking

    I'm with Wolf here, it is a fine line. I'd say use some common sense, you know if you're having too many tweaks or if they don't form part of a meal. But if you do find your weight loss isn't fab or slows down take a look at the tweaks. I do tweaks but not every day, I have wholemeal...

    plateauing

    I you thought perhaps you're not eating enough, it's easy to think by having less syns your weight loss will be better, but it's not always the case, try to have more syns, they are there for a reason. I'm at target & still have 15 syns per day.
