During Maxine's Challenge week 4, I've had quite a lack of support. I think I've still been eating ok but I haven't written things down like I normally do. sadly, I also didn't work out as much as I needed to.

The female challenge, "Tone & Shape" is focused on weight loss and the male challenge focuses on getting strong but both nutrition and exercise plans are available depending on your goals.The first week has just ended and what a [...]
