Just a suggestion for those of you who are plateau-ing (like me... and I have actually put on 5kg this year, my goal was to lose 10)

After reading that in a 6 monuth study of women on a diet/exercise regime... those who kept a food diary lost an average almost twice the ammount than those who didn't, I started keeping a food diary.

In one week of keeping the diary I have lost almost 1kg/2 pounds.
I reckon its because I don't want to write some of the snacks I often eat, so I don't have them. I am not making/buying milky coffees and hot chocolates - I have water instead. I don't have a few spoonfuls of icecream as I serve dessert. I still have treats (yesterday it was chocolate paricots, mmmm) but I just dont have them as often or as much in a sitting.

Its really helping me to focus on whether I am actually hungary or not too.
