Time to sort myself out!

Hi a cuddly short mum of 2 teenagers trying to get trim for a pal’s wedding next month. Lost a stone last year but 6lb crept back on, seems to be hugging my tum! Ideas?

Hello, Jahalu55, and welcome to the forum

I spy biscuits. Could they be responsible for any of the unwelcome pounds?

Without knowing what you're eating overall, it's impossible to make any suggestions about what you might change. The Daily Diary is a great place for logging your meal plans and getting useful comments, and a great place to pinch ideas. Once you've decided on your meals for tomorrow, why not join the Sunday Diary and chat with people there? It's only just opened but it will be busier later this evening, and in the morning.

You will have had a welcome message which will help to orientate you but, as a reminder, you'll find the Daily Diary, weigh-in and What's Happening? - our chat thread which lists all the activities going on around the forum - in Events.

Wishing you success in reaching your goals

That's the case for many people. It's not about being weak willed, it mainly comes down to physiology. This is worth a read well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013...

I've just tagged you in the What's Happening? thread: if you drop in there you'll see what's on offer around the forum

First of all step away from the biscuits they've a lot of calories in and not very filling so use your calories wisely and make them count. And good luck
