Looks good although your body really needs more fuel than 20pp imo, especially with the exercise you're doing, but whatever works for you I guess xx

Also did 30 days shred. On level 3 now so hope fully burning more. Weigh in is on thurs but I really don't think I've lost I've sts for three weeks now although I have been givin my diet my full attention. Any ideas?

 

[Jaly]

Perhaps not enough water? Or gain in muscle mass? 30 day shred is excellent for gaining/toning muscle and muscle weighs more than fat does!

29/29

Not really happy with the amount of sweet stuff I had today I think although I'm spreading out my points much better I need to make healthier choices

 

[Jaly]

Ah, sometimes the inches come off sooner than the lbs! Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the bolognese, i wouldn't recommend the WW sausages and mash in onion gravy ready meal either, urgh! I'm just surprised you aren't hungry after spending your points on choc and not going into weeklies lol x

Hope you have a nice evening, making healthier choices is a mental change and it'll come with time x
