Really, anything under 1000 calories is a starvation diet and is setting you up for 1) binging or 2) an eating disorder.

:D:D I'm as far away from having an eating disorder as is possible!!

After much searching I managed to find a local Curves fitness place who assure me that it's ok to take my children along (I've been a member of 2 gyms in the last 3 years both times losing out £££ half way through a year because they stopped the creche facilities :mad:)

I'm going to get back into this every day again and I feel it's the last resort to get things kick started. SURELY on top of what I'm eating plus my 3 mile daily walk then I'l start losing something :?: Even a few lbs a month would be something. I was weighed there yesterday and their scales say I'm 14st 8 so I'm going to go by their scales from now on.

It's good though, because they take measurements too. I said I'd realistically like to be a size 14 (I'm a 16/18 now) and according to their charts my waist is already there so that's something :D

There's no way on earth I'm going to start eating more.....I just don't believe it will work with my body and don't want to chance putting weight back on.
