  • Yesterday I went shopping for new jeans and only picked up the size 14s to try on. Even though I've bought a few pairs of size 14 in the past I've always taken the size 16 in to the fitting room because I'm never sure they'll fit. I'm finally believing that I've lost the weight!

  • I eat whatever I want within my calories, but I've found that what I want had changed as I've continued to lose weight. These days I'd take a fresh cooked meal over pizza any day, but every once in a while I really want a couple of slices of cheesy goodness so I have it, and just make sure the rest of my meals that day are…

  • I take vitamin D daily now and it's made a huge difference. I was worried because I was getting very tired, and my doctor did blood tests and diagnosed a Vitamin D deficiency.

  • For me it's made from scratch if it took effort to produce it! I usually spend between 30 mins and an hour cooking each evening and as long as I "made" the majority of the meal I count it as proper food so if I'm making lasagne I'm happy to use those pre-rolled sheets of pasta but I'd make my own white sauce & tomato sauce…

  • Mine's a bit odd - I was looking through old family photos with my parents a while ago and saw some of my mum when she was younger. She was playing volleyball and looked so fit and healthy. Right now Mum & I weigh almost exactly the same (i.e. we're both a bit "cuddly"!)... but from the pictures I realised that when she…

  • I've been attending the Rosemary Conley classes for a couple of years now and I think they really work - the diet is fairly sensible so you're unlikely to find yourself starving hungry and you get a starters kit which gives you meal ideas etc for each week which really helps to start with. At my class the instructor also…
