Thanks very much to all. It's been a discouraging weekend and I ended up eating desert yesterday as well as having vodka and club soda. Perhaps more than I should have. But reading all my replies helps. I won't give up. I will stop those atkin bars.
I will take in more water and I will do more cardio. My plan is to do the cross trainer for a half an hour every day and keep up my resistant training. We'll see how the next two weeks go. I'll keep you all posted. Many thanks to all again
