Slimming World weigh in 66 – the one with the shock…

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 …

May has been quite a chilled month for us, we’ve just been plodding along day-to-day really and enjoying the nicer weather – when it’s decided to show its face, anyway! We have had a couple of exciting deliveries though, and Jacob & I had a mini trip away by ourselves. Here are our favourite five for May:

My Office Basics Wish-List

It is still in a small space, but I am planning on making it nice & cosy for both us …

Top tips for slimmers on the web this summer

by StaceyUpdated on May 30, 2016May 26, 2016

Thinking back, I must have been on some sort of “diet” – air quotes because I dislike the word, but anyway – for almost 10 years. I gained lots of weight when I met my (now) husband; you know, when you get settled into a comfortable relationship and therefore life, and the weight just creeps on.

After last week and yet another small loss, although I knew why it was a small loss, I have to admit I was feeling a bit deflated. I feel like I’m not really getting anywhere at the moment though I know this is sometimes my fault, and in part it’s because of my PCOS. I’m kind of at that stage where I feel like giving up, but I am most definitely not going to. I have come really far in a short space of time – compared to previously anyway when I have tried to lose weight – so I know …
