Oddly my weight went up to 9 stone 10.4 pound yesterday, I am guessing it was due to doing less exercise. My goal for next Monday is still 9 stone 7 pounds though so I will have to work hard again this week to get there. I am already planning some Christmas treats so it is motivating me to do well as I want to not feel guilty when I am eating sponge with strawberries and cream (as requested by my son) and boiled fruit cake with custard and not forgetting the tonnes of roast potatoes that we a...

My weight is down to 9 stone 10 pounds this morning which is great news. It was well worth resisting having too many chips, but I did really savour and enjoy the ones that I had. We are going out for a coffee this morning so I will need to resist the croissant, but I may just treat myself to a whipped cream topping! Read Full Story

I was looking at the online ITV TV guide the other day and spotted a banner ad which said you could win money. I decided to click on it, as I was procrastinating doing my work(!) and filled in the short competition entry form. A week later I had a call saying that I had won £20 in high street vouchers. They arrived a few days ago in the post. I have decided to use them as an opportunity to treat myself as I would love a new skirt and cardigan and as I can spend them in Debehams, House of Fras...

I was 9 stone 11 pounds this morning which is great. I will need to work hard over this weekend, making sure I do not give in to temptation if I want to reach my 9 stone 10 pounds target by Monday morning especially as I will be making fish and chips for the family today. Read Full Story

I lost just a little weight and am now 9 stone 11.6 pounds. I had expected to do better but I did miss a lot of walks due to being home with my poorly son. Back to walking today though so that is good. I am craving chocolate though so I will have to be careful that I do not eat lots of other things instead because I do not have any in the house..... I just need to keep focusing on getting to the size I want to be for the New Years Party I am going to. Read Full Story

My weight stayed the same at 9 stone 11.8 pounds this morning. I was not surprised because I ate a little extra in the evening, which is the worst time to indulge! I had a cooked meal at lunch time today and ate rather too much tea so I am not sure how well I will do tomorrow. I guess it depends on how much I eat this evening.... Read Full Story

After having a poorly son yesterday, with a tummy bug, I did not have much of an appetite. I tried not to eat in front of him as I thought it was mean as he could not have anything. I ended up having his packed lunch for my lunch because I had already prepared it before he was ill and had a small portion of food for my evening meal by accident because I reduced the amount by too much. I went for a walk after my evening meal and did not overeat in the evening despite watching a cookery program... Read Full Story

My weight remained the same at 9 stone 12.8 pounds. I was not surprised because I treated myself to a wholemeal scone for my lunch. I will have to be careful today because I have a son at home from school and so will not be doing the school run and therefore will be missing out on quite a bit of exercise. I may go out for a walk this evening instead but it depends on how tiring my day is! Read Full Story

My husband has decided that for his fortieth birthday next year he would like us all to go abroad on holiday. The children have never been abroad so it will be exciting for them and he thinks it will be good experience for them. We have been trying to decide where to go as I think a long flight might be too much for the first time so I didn't h with his suggestion of New York. I have family abroad in places which are too far away and aso to keep the cost down we have decided that a package su... Read Full Story

This morning my weight was 9 stone 12.8 pounds which was good. It was not as low as I had hoped but I will keep working hard at it and hopefully will be able to get to 9 stone 10 pounds by this time next week. I was sensible yesterday and did two exercise sessions, one jogging and one cycling and some sit ups and ate well. I am always tempted to be naughtier at the weekends because I have more time to cook breakfasts and things like that. Read Full Story
