I actually don't own scales, I just know by my size what I need to lose. So I suppose that is a good start! I try to portion the snacks, but fall down at work, but I will try harder and not have change for the chocolate box

I will check out the kick start program Dinky.

I still have the double mountain buggy, so I could go walking in the evenings when DH is home.. (sucks having a shiftworking DH at times cause some areas here aren't the safest for a mum and kids on her own).

But welcome more suggestions too!
