Hmm I should be asking the very same thing. You could down load the Active 10 App on your phone which will measure how brisk you are walking. Take a look at some interesting and healthy recipes - I printed some out, have not yet made them though - and you will get lots of helpful hints and tips and encouragement here. I am weighing my self monthly because I reckoned that I would at least lose a few pounds each month. Sadly last month I did not lose anything, but will admit I could have tried a bit harder. I am trying harder for next month and my date with the scales.

Have a look at some of the recipes here under Topics, and you could have browse of the Daily Diary to see how people are using their calories.

All directions in the link you were given when you started 😊

So how are things going. I feel that I worked so hard this week, that I deserved fish and chips yesterday. I had Harry Ramsden fish bought from a supermarket, and had a few chips from the chip shop. Not the best of meals I will be honest, but after food shopping it was almost 6 pm (I was up at 5.30) I just wanted to eat, sit, watch a bit of TV and then bed. Do let me know how you are doing.
