As my wise mother regularly points out, if you want to stay slim (and she is slim yet eats well), you have to burn off calories equal to the amount you eat. Very simple. Eat well, move more! But easier said than done, and harder to keep off the flab when older, for me it was turning 40 and having a last minute baby when the challenge started... cycling and pilates help, but best of all is running around like a blue-arsed fly after my family!!
