Today’s guest post is from Tracey who has a page over on Facebook, Ramblings of a Slimming Mummy. She shares about her journey from Slimming World member to consultant! (You might need a cuppa!). Hi guys! I’m Tracey, and the lovely Stacey has asked me to write a guest post, to talk about my weight loss journey with Slimming World. I’m very open with my journey, as I hope to inspire people to do what I have done, and change your life forever. I’ve had a problem with food ever since I was 14, I can still remember the first …
Recipe – Lemon & ginger cheesecake
When I made this cheesecake, I just fancied something lemony, and I was thrown back to the boozy lemon cheesecake I made last year. I wanted this one to be child-friendly though, and that it was. It has just the right amount of lemon flavour, and the ginger gives it just a little more zing. It is quite sickly though so it might go further than the stated servings, it depends how much sweetness you can take! Ingredients (serves 6-8) 150g digestive biscuits 50g butter, melted 500g cream cheese 397g condensed milk 150ml double cream 2tbsp sweetener 6tbsp lemon juice …
What to expect from a cervical screening
This year I’ve had my third cervical screening. I only had my first at the age of 25 as I missed it when the guidelines changed previously; I was 16 at the time so instead of waiting four years for my first, I had to wait nine instead.

Slimming World weigh in #22 – the one where I don’t quite make it…
After another 1.5lb loss last week I was hoping for that 2 stone award this week, before I go away on Saturday. I did have plans at the end of last week though which I knew might scupper it a bit – it was bake club week, I wasn’t going to compromise on that one! I just made sure I was on plan for the rest of the week. We were at my father-in-law’s for tea on Sunday though and it was pizzas, but I made syn free potato wedges and some salad. We did have leftover bake club cheesecake for dessert …
Review – Old El Paso sweet potato & chilli enchiladas
You may have read before that we are big fans of Old El Paso so when an email popped in my inbox asking if I wanted to try a new recipe I thought yes, I’ll give it a go! The recipe I opted for was sweet potato & chilli enchiladas. We love enchiladas, they are one of our favourite Mexican dishes, but we have never had a vegetarian version as we usually have chicken in them. I love sweet potato and chilli so I was really looking forward to trying this. I was sent all of the ingredients (bar the …
