    Hey Marie - PT means personal trainer. Well done you! You're doing amazingly well. I've got my consultant coming here today as I don't have a car this morning. Dreading my weigh in - such a bad week, client entertainment and meetings over brunch! Never mind. How was your week? I'm off on...

    No worries. Yeah I'm avoiding body pump atm. Sticking to cardio only, although do have a free PT session tonight. I've slipped a bit so far this week as I've just done 3 days of spin in a row. A friend took me out for lunch today and I had a Rissotto so I know I won't loose this week. Last week...

    Hey Marie yeah after 4 weeks I started back at spin. I have a shake before I go, and then a bar for lunch. Although on the weekends I've started to have a hard boiled egg when I eat back too. I'm just about to go to weigh in week 5 and I've done 4 spin classes since my last weigh in. Good luck! X

    So I've lost another 2lbs taking me to 15lbs in 4 weeks which is fab. I did celebrate a bit at the weekend, but have been straight back on it this week and I'm feeling good. I'm back into spinning classes, doing 4 this past week. Fingers crossed for weigh in Friday x

    It's been a really tough couple of days heading towards weigh in this afternoon. Mainly because I've been an emotional nutter, my feelings all over the place. I think it's because I'm gutted that I drank last weekend and I'm dreading getting on the scales later today and seeing a gain. I really...

    I've found I enjoy the smell of food but I can't get too close! My boyf made a roast chicken with wedges and salad on Sunday, so I had some salad and the chicken. Avoiding the wedges was tough though. He even left them out on the side as he made too many. Torture!
