Sorry to hear your first week didn't go well millie76 . Why not join the Daily Diary for some extra support until you are in a routine with everything. You can find it on the Home page in Events. Good luck with your second week.

I know exactly what you are saying, I joined three weeks ago, went to the gym twice, had a great week, then as usual I fell back into bad habits.and think this is hopeless,

weight loss is more down to what you eat than the exercise you do Mammy. Just keep making small changes, they all mount up and it will become the norm - it is not hopeless as long as you keep on keeping on :)

You are welcome :)

It is a good idea not to eat in front of the telly. The problem is we eat and don't notice what we are eating and somehow that can make us more hungry - at least it does with me - eating mindfully is a good idea :)

Reading this has just given me the boost to keep going!! I started roughly a month ago (just cutting down rather than dieting) since adding exercise my weight loss has stalled but I am starting to feel better. I still have a take away on a Saturday night but choose healthier, I feel abit up and down but am determind to keep going. Good luck everyone! :)

chin up millie76, it will get better. once you have gotten into the habit of weighing your food and writing down all you eat, it will get better!

Hi Millie,

Have a look at a post I made a few days ago. I was feeling so despondent 😭 but the lovely people on here, helped get my head in the right place. I started again on Monday after joining a month ago. Since then I have managed to stay on track, but what's really helped is planning. I have a busy job and 4 young kids. I have been food prepping the night before.

I'm trying to be more active on here, but don't feel pressurised, just do what you can. Baby steps. Good luck xx
