As you may have seen in my last weigh in update, I finally got my half stone award after four weigh ins. I was absolutely ecstatic as I think over the many years and attempts of trying to lose weight, that is the best I have ever done. I am really loving Slimming World (though I have had my doubts about it before, but that’s a whole other post) and hoping I can continue with it up until I get to my target weight, and afterwards of course as really it is just about making healthier choices. So, to my …

Slimming World – half a stone gone!
If you saw my last SW weigh in update you will know that I didn’t quite manage to get my half stone award even though I’d been hankering after it all week – although happy at 1.5lb loss I was a bit annoyed at myself as I was only half a pound away! So I was determined to get it this week – even though we had our first cake club meeting on Friday night but I saved my syns from the previous day, that day and the day after to be cautious (although I think if I had maintained it would …
Slimming World weigh in – I got a shiny!
In the week prior to this week’s weigh in, I went a little off track on Sunday. We were at my brother-in-law’s for tea and although we had a fairly healthy curry (the majority of which was free food for me) he had cheesecake for dessert and I couldn’t not have any when everyone else did!

I’ve been doing more walking this week and I’m really enjoying it; I’m already starting to feel a bit fitter again, …
Tandoori baked salmon | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Now I’m trying out new fish and recipes for our regular ‘fish Friday’s’ you might have a few more fish recipes coming your way – this week is salmon. It’s coated in a tandoori mix but it’s not too overpowering. I served it with tandoori veg rice but it would be lovely with potatoes and a salad too. Ingredients (serves 2 – plus extra tandoori spice mix) 2 boneless salmon fillets 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cayenne pepper Method Preheat oven to …
Slimming World weigh in number two
If you read about my first week with Slimming World then you’ll know that I had a fairly good loss of 3.5lbs which I was over the moon with. This week I was hoping to lose another 3.5lbs in order to get my half stone award. I think after a good loss in my first week I was a little more relaxed and not so strict, and I think it impacted me a bit so I’m right back to strict now. The thing I am worst with is picking at the kids food – so crumbs, leftovers, stealing a morsel …
