I bought some clothes in the sales late last year for a trip to the Phils in April, i cut out milk, cheese and crisps from my diet in Jan becuase I knew the clothes would be a tight fit , weeks before my trip, I'd only lost half a stone ,

so I bought a MI band 2 and got on the tread mill for 20 mins in the morning and 20 mins at night, in just over 6 wks i'd lost 2 stone

I set a target of 16,000+ steps a day and I managed it for 20 days straight
