Hello Melissa

I'm drawn to your diary. I also have a young family (and the same name as you )

What an amazing loss you have had so far, congratulations. When you say you're losses have slowed do you mean you are losing less per week? Have you increased exercise?

I'm no expert on SW - only started it this year and I have a lot to lose. I wonder if having some red days would help just to kick start your loss again - I know extra easy is better for your family but you could always cook a double amount of something and freeze it so one day your family could have that and you have somethings else? I do that sometimes.

Your diary looks great, nice and healthy and plenty of superfree. I'm impressed.

Failing doing the red days if it doesn't fit in with family life at all, perhaps you could have a week where you have lots of superspeed foods and see if that makes a difference?

You are doing so well though, it's really inspiring to see.

Hello Red Riding Hood,

Thank you for commenting on my food diary. I have been to weigh in today and i've lost 2lbs, which i'm chuffed with as i've now reached my 5 stone award.

I have thought about trying red and green days, but i'm not quite sure where to start. I also think my weight loss is slowing down as i am getting nearer to target.

I have upped my exercise i go to Zumba twice a week and walk everywhere.

You are doing really well yourself, and you are obviously enjoying following the plan which is the main thing.

Melissa xx
