Now don’t get me wrong, even though I’m following Slimming World I do still eat ‘proper’ cake. Sometimes I will begrudgingly syn it but other times I will just completely ignore it and hope for the best! This is one of my new favourite Slimming World recipes though, it tastes a lot like a chocolate orange and is definitely worth the 2.5 syns a piece. This recipe uses chocolate Philadelphia but you can also use chocolate spread (50g will make them 2 syns each), it’s just as tasty. I made it for our latest group taster session and it went down really well! …

Slimming World weigh in #23 – the one where it’s not as bad as I thought…
As I mentioned in my last update a couple of weeks ago, I was on holiday last week so I didn’t weigh in. Up until we went away I was on plan, then it kind of went out of the window – well I was on holiday after all! I had lots of treats like cake, ice cream, chips… and we had a couple of takeaways, plus a barbecue! Add at least one alcoholic beverage a day and well, I must have been way over my syns! I could really tell by the end of my holiday that I had been …
{Guest post} Laura – Weight Loss and the Pain of Trying to Conceive
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 …

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!).

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 …
