After my big loss last week I went away from group feeling really motivated and determined to head for that next stone bracket. I was on it all week, until it got to Sunday. We went to Uncle Henry’s farm shop for their Open Farm Sunday (which was brilliant with lots to do!) and I managed to avoid eating and buying the cheese, crisps, hog roast, ice cream or cakes, while hubby had a hot dog and the boys had cakes – I was quite proud of myself!

Updated on

I was pretty disappointed after last week’s weigh in and my 1.5lb gain, and I was determined to lose again this week as I am getting fed up with myself yo-yo’ing now. We did attend a wedding do on Friday evening and although I did eat dinner before we left, I may have had a second dinner when I discovered they had a hog roast and chocolate fountain on the go… You just have to, don’t you? I was on plan the rest of week though; other than the day before weigh in when I felt under the weather (and also had a …
