    How is everyone doing, I've completely flipped what I was doing on its head as I realised not eating enough was leaving me tired so I've switched things up and I'm trying to focus on eating a better diet. Having a breakfast smoothie every morning, eating more cooked from scratch food and trying to focus on wellbeing. Slowly but surely the scales are seeing a difference. 

    Hope everyone is still managing to keep ticking along with the weight loss but most importantly happy and healthy.

    That sounds like it's going really well @Rud0lf,  I've just started doing similar.  I'm trying to reduce carbs and processed foods and eat a lot more fruit and veg.  I've lost a little bit of weight, but I had gained before that so it doesn't count yet :D

    It still counts even if it's been counted before but I know what you mean. It's still going in the right direction xx

    I think this is a really underrated way of thinking.. I generally try to eat MORE at mealtimes, since its healthier, more veg / protein / complex carbs. The idea being that I'm not hungry a couple of hours later and hence not tempted into snacking with those sugary snacks.

    I'm actively trying to do this as well, and it's definitely reduced my snacking!
