Kel Galavan had been working in the pharmaceutical industry for about 16 years, when the Kildare mother of two decided to quit her job to spend more time with her children.

Kel and her husband were commuting daily from Kildare to Dublin, working long hours and paying a childcare for their children Ria, 9 and Aaron, 6.

Once Kel made the decision to quit her job, she knew she would need to cut back on spending so she devised a strict budget for the year to see if they could survive on one salary, having relied on two for so long.

Earlier this week Dermot & Dave received an email from a listener who is facing a dilemma.

It reads:

"Hey Dermot & Dave,

I’m wondering if you could ask your listeners to help me with something.

I’ve been working in my current job for the last 6 years and although I love it, recently I’ve been looking to make a bit of a change and progress in my career. About 8 weeks ago I saw a job advertised which I absolutely loved and would be a dream come true if I got it - so I decided it feck it life’s too short and I applied for it.

To my delight I’m now down to the final two in the interview process, however since applying for the job I’ve also found out that I’m expecting with my first child (EEEEK, exciting!!!). If I get the job I’d be due to start when I’m just shy of being six months pregnant – so I now facing a bit of a dilemma. Do I tell the interviewer that I’m expecting, which could hamper my chances at getting this job, or do I continue the process and break the news if I’m hired?

This is causing me lots of stress because I don’t want to mess anyone about, but I also want to myself first in all of this."

Meet Rob Cullen and his wife Yvonne who have lost an incredible 13 stone between them.

Yvonne went from 14.5 stone to 9 stone and Rob went from an XXL to a S/M, losing 104 pounds in 104 weeks.

Rob says they had fallen into the trap of convenience food and takeaways because they felt they were too busy to cook.

In 2016 they made the decision to make big changes so they could become happier people.

Rob spent a year in Slimming World where he basically had to learn how to eat again.

TIPS FROM ROB

Don’t start off by saying ‘I’ve 5 stone to lose’, aim firstly for a stone.

It’s all about flipping the mindset-if you set out to lose 5 stone and you don’t, you’ll be upset and annoyed with yourself.

If you set out to lose a stone, and you do, you’ll be more inclined to keep going.

Pick your ‘why’…they have a photo of the boys on their fridge which reminds them to keep going.

But your why needs to be more than ‘I’m going on holidays’, it should be ‘I want to be healthier for the kids’.

Find what exercise you love doing, and make it your hobby.

His main message is, it all starts in the head.

Dermot & Dave's Dave Moore knows more about this than the average person as he is currently in a silent battle with his wife over a diffuser.

He moves it to one place, she moves it back and back and forth it goes without a word spoken between them.
