Today’s guest post is from Laura, a Mummy of two who blogs over at Laura’s Lovely Blog. She talks about a journey I am very familiar with, losing weight in order to conceive. It’s funny, I spent most of my 20s trying not to get pregnant. Having a mini panic attack if there was a slip up. Because in my mind there was no way I was ready. Of course after all the contraception fastidiousness it seemed to me that as soon as we started trying to fall pregnant, that it would be easy, that it would just happen. That the little spermy …
{Guest post} Tracey – Losing weight and becoming a Slimming World consultant
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.

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. I’m a strong believer that the age should be lowered again as although I know it doesn’t necessarily detect all abnormalities, there is still more chance of detecting them with one, than from not having one at all.
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 …
