I Am Trying to Lose Weight

Made a new years resolution to walk more / take stairs instead of the lift etc. My phone says I have climbed 6 flights of stairs, and done 4,368 steps. Feels like it should be a lot more! (And it makes me wonder how few I was doing daily the rest of the time... no way was I managing 10,000).

On the flipside, it is 11am and I am feeling really hungry!

It's a good start. Stave of those hunger pangs until lunch time, and don't up your portions, losing weight requires burning more calories than you consume - I know you know that, but it's something we dieters need to remind ourselves!

@VeronicaPrincess I need to make up / buy some healthy things to snack on! Nuts or rice cakes.

@annamk Snacking can be problematic - make sure you only do it at a set time (like half-way between breakfast & lunch). Random snacking has ruined many weight loss efforts.
