Hi,
I am not sure which part of the site i need to post this in but i hope someone can help me.
I have lost 2st 1lb in the last 8 months, I have got into hillwalking and i go to the gym (mainly treadmill work)
I have hit a plateau and i am struggling to keep the motivation going. I need to lose another 3 and 1/2 stone but i have no clue where to go from here.
Money is difficult right now so although i have a friend who is a PT she's friend because i used to have her as PT and we built a friendship from that ( we go out etc)
Basically i dont know what i need to do to shift this excess weight and its really starting to get me down, If i could find someone who needed a guinea pig for a working out plan to show how good they are then i'd jump at the chance but im not that lucky.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Jane

Hi Jane, good to talk to you.
The issue may be diet right now, so what times do you eat at and what foods do you eat at those times?
