Hello again and welcome CharMurr 😊

I hope you’ve had time to read all the Welcome information Moreless gave given when you first joined us on the Easter Challenge last week. Did you check your calorie target on the NHS BMI checker? Have you been managing to count calories? This can be tricky at first but it gets easier with practice 😊

For more help with food choices check out the Daily Diary 😊
