So, June is shaping up to be a super exciting and super busy month so I think it's time to get back on track with Slimming World. ;-)I'd only just (re) joined Slimming World when my Dad died in March and life got a bit chaotic so I used that as an excuse to put off being good and sticking to the plan.I weighed myself yesterday and I've lost 1lb since that time so at least I know that whilst I haven't been good, at least I haven't been too bad.I've sat down and worked out my Slimming World meal plan for the week and yes, I know that to make it work long term, I need to get us … [Read more...]

One of my New Year's Resolutions this year is to lose weight although there's probably no surprise there then as I'm sure that about half the country has the same resolution and I've had the same one for about the past ten years! ;-)To help me achieve my goal I went along last night to my local Slimming World group and signed myself up. I've done Slimming World before and I know it's an easy plan to follow with practically guaranteed results if you stick to it but in the past I've given up quite early on.I'm not really sure why I've given up but someone did ask me recently why I'd … [Read more...]
