setback? Nope! New day! Thanks Jillian!
Had to go to a funeral yesterday... My food choices were not bad until the drive home where I ate 2, yes 2, cakes from costa at a motorway service station AND had a caramel shot in my americano... This morning I knew I'd be back on it as I have a Zumba class but felt even more energised when I saw this article pop into my…

3 stone lost! 42lbs gone forever! (w/pics)
I'd written a lovely blog with my photos and measurements and somehow managed to delete it while fiddling to get the photos to work so I've given up and will post it here instead!

Help with a recipe please!
Hello! Today I'm making cupcakes and found a recipe which just calls for a sponge mix and some tinned crushed pineapple.. However on the sponge mix packaging it only gives me the calories for the cake made with the egg and not for just the mix itself... It's an "add egg and water" type mix so do I just calculate the cake…

Should I up my calorie goal?
Advice please you special peeps! I'm currently on 1200 cals a day and constantly hungry... Should I up my cals to 1400 for a week and see how I go? I'm losing about 2lbs a week at the moment (probably not this week as TOM is here) and I'm usually under my goal but I just seem to be so hungry!

Awesome cake frosting!
This cake frosting is to die for and I think is pretty low in cals... Melt 100g chocolate and stir it into 75g of extra light soft cheese.... Et voila! Adjust quantities according to how big your cake is, the coverage you require etc.... The cals will depend on the type of soft cheese and chocolate you use, the coverage,…

Celebrity slim?
Hello While I'm aware there's no real substitute for eating healthy meals, I find it very hard to eat a good breakfast as it's a bust time of day with 2 kids...

I am SO proud of myself today! Had a really good gym work out - started with a light walk warm up and then did some strength training on the weights... Same as usual...
