Ok well the start of the week admittedly wasn't fantastic, still i managed to stick to it and have been 100% all week so far which is good, two runs under my belt equally good, and the scales have forgiven me and claim im now only 1.5lbs over what i was which is nice of them, still not ideal but...

I totally agree! It is my bible, I take it shopping and use it to make shopping lists and recipes. I've only just, rather naively, realised that there are little 'HE' symbols next to foods that you can use as healthy extras, and got rather excited! I am looking into buying the book on low...

This thread is great, ive got into a habbit of not eating my veggies, and ive got no where , i know why and i know what im doing wrong but somehow the fact that im still eating " free food" in my head justify's it everytime, so i decided yesterday im going to do a salad week, cant stand veggies...
