So I've been pounding the pavements at 5.30am in the mornings, 3 to 4 days per week, walking 6 kilometres a day (which increases to 10 when you include all the running around I do all day) to try and budge those extra kilos I'm carrying..  I'm up to week 6 and feel worse than I did when I first started....  I am about to give it all away and forget dragging myself out into the cold if there is no return, it's demotivating..  What's even more demotivating is my husband stripped off 12 kilos in 14 weeks a couple of years ago - and all I can manage in 1.2 kilos is 6 weeks...
