I'm just putting it out there. I put on a little weight during the Olympics. It turns out snacking after dinner while watching sport at all hours doesn't help a middle aged woman then continuing that pattern doesn't help either. So I'm breaking that habit. Haven't snacked after dinner for 4 nights now. I hope to lose around 5 kg. Nipping it in the bud before it becomes a major problem.

Same. Turns out having pasta with wine for lunch and sitting around all day is not conducive to a svelte figure

I love a cuppa and a biscuit or 5 in the evening. That's the hard bit.

I love a cuppa and a biscuit at 2 pm and then 8 pm. Need to drop the biscuits from the equation for the sake of my belts.

Covid then hernia has done my waist line no favours. Started food tracking again. Done it before, just keep chipping away at it and don't fall of the wagon too hard. Fuck I love to eat though.

I'm still carrying baby weight. We'll ignore that he's 10, he's still my baby.

Menopause is not being kind to my already genetically predisposed chubblish post lockdown ass

You need to jump on the no snacking after tea train with me and anybody else who wants to join.
