i agree with the 'taking it slowly' advice.

i've been seeing a trainer & the training side is going pretty well but i haven't really been losing weight. for the last few weeks she's had me keeping a record of food & exercise & each week i cut something out of my diet. so far i've cut out things like soft drink (i only ever had diet softdrink, but there's just no nutritional value, you know?), chocolate (has killed me!), hot chips, white carbs & a few others. by doing it one thing a week i haven't felt so deprived & i am feeling so much healthier overall.
