The Scales – an unhealthy addiction?

A year ago I binned my scales in a sort of dieting rebellion and decided that I didn't need to obsess over the numbers on the sad step. 2017 was to be the year I broke the habit of a lifetime - I wanted to do a whole year of not weighing myself, and break the obsessive pattern I'd got....{Click Here to Read More!}

Calorie counting & going back to basics – my weight loss journey

I've not written about my weight loss for a while, for a few reasons: I've not lost any weight I've lost all willpower I've fallen back into the faddy diets cycle again. As I wrote back in September I joined Slimming World and lost a stone, and was chuffed to pieces as it came off within a month, however over....{Click Here to Read More!}

Week 14 – Slimming World & weight loss update

I'm so rubbish at these weekly updates - but it's been an awesome week after a few up and down ones where I've struggled to get my head back into the game.

Weigh-in Wednesday: Week 11

How much weight can you gain in a day?

Do you ever find yourself googling ridiculous things? I found myself asking stupid questions all the time and it's addictive - I'm also guilty of going through pages and pages of search results to find an answer that I'm happy with. Hmm. (more…)

Weigh-in Wednesday(late again) – week 5

I'm as flaky as a, well, flake at the moment... I'm still playing catching up after my massive depressive episode and plus my hubs has been poorly(will explain more later on that). So this Wednesday was my week 5 weigh in and I was shitting it. I'd not been sticking to plan and I was expecting a gain. I was....{Click Here to Read More!}

Weigh in Wednesday – Week Four update

I'm very behind - apologies - life has been a little hectic and my brain frazzled so consider this weeks two and three as well as four... Four weeks in and I'm loving Slimming World this time round - I'm enjoying creating and eating beautiful dishes and for me spending an hour or two a day in the kitchen cooking....{Click Here to Read More!}
