In both senses. I want to fitten up and lose a stone. I have zero time in the morning to make cooked in anyway breakfasts and I don't like any fruit so smoothies aren't going to work, or yogurt. I'm always hungry and love carbs.
I'm a single mum of a young daughter so I can't leave the house for more than 10-15 mins in the evening so joining a gym is out and I work full time!!
Is it impossible?
Feels like a lost cause. 😩

I haveva couple of low fat calorie cereal bars, the alpen light ones and a banana for breakfast. Quick and easy!

Could you fit exercise into your lunch break? Either gym or a nice walk

Some gyms have creches too so you could see if any near you

I do elk for 1/2 hour at lunch. I'm not home til 6pm and dd is 9 so a crèche isn't viable. She needs dinner, bit of mum time, homework and bed!

I wonder whether you could do a fitness video either in the evening or by getting up half an hour earlier? I guess it depends on how desperate you are to lose the weight.

Overnight oats are good. Or I just had a couple of slices of rye bread with smoked salmon (carried in to work with me).

Loads of exercise available on YouTube. And walk at lunchtime, or as part of your commute
