I have spoken before about my weight loss battle; having dieted for the best part of twenty years on and off. Something had to change and so inspired by a friend, eleven weeks ago I decided to do something different. I booked my first Cambridge Diet appointment and started my journey. This is not a brand collaboration, I just wanted to share …
A few months ago my sister-in-law and I started reviewing the Polar Loop 2 Activity trackers. We have both been wearing them every day and so I thought I would share a little more about the trackers with you all. The appearance of the Polar Loop 2 Activity Tracker is similar to other activity trackers on the market; a soft plastic moulded strap. This …
I was recently asked to review a Polar Loop activity tracker. I have been terrible at keeping active recently and so thought this project could be just what I need to get into a routine where activity plays a more significant part than it does now. There are so many activity trackers on the market and I already own a fitbit, …
Body wrapping is big news in the quest to shed a few extra inches. For years it has really been in the realms of beauty salons and large price tags, however now Shrinking Violet has created a home version. I have discussed my long standing weight issues before on this blog, so needless to say I am always looking for …

If you are a regular reader of my blog you may know that last year (and the start of this year) I lost 4 stone doing the Diet Chef plan. I felt amazing, like I was going to change my life, break the cycle of dieting and finally feel comfortable in my own skin. People commented on how well I …
Welcome back to part two of our health and fitness feature with Dan Pinch from Founder of Fit Mums. “I want to drop 15 lbs, eat better and have more energy but I have no discipline and am incredibly lazy”. This is how one of my recent clients explained her goals to me. Another said: “I’ve wanted to lose weight for …

Losing a baby belly is a challenge faced by almost every mother, and it can seem pretty daunting at first. However, with the right exercise regime, a well-designed diet and a little willpower, any recent mother can regain her figure safely and quickly. The key thing is to follow a post pregnancy workout plan that is sustainable, easy to follow …
Welcome back to ‘5 Things’, can you believe we are half way through the year! No, me neither, it is racing by. Back in January I wrote a post sharing my 2015 goals and thought it was about time to reassess and refocus for the last 5-6 months on the year. Make Live. Love. Blog a commercial proposition. We love our new collaborative blog …
So this post seems a little bit weird for me to write as it will be my last weight loss update working with Diet Chef. Back in October 2014 I was very unhappy with my weight and pretty desperate for something to change. Having struggled with my weight my whole life I had even got to the point of asking …
It’s that time of the week again! Weigh day! I am following the Diet Chef plan and you can see my previous weigh ins here. Why is losing weight so hard! O.k if I only had a stone to lose, it would be gone now and I would be working on maintenance. Having A LOT of weight to lose means – 4 stone later I …

What a time we have had recently! Following Mr Hubby being sick last week, Baby and I were in the firing line. Not a week I want to repeat in a hurry and poor Baby is still sick. If this is your first visit to my weigh in, I am following the Diet Chef plan and you can find details of all my previous weigh …
It’s weigh in time! I am following the Diet Chef plan and have been since October. I progressed rapidly at the start and was hugely focused, which resulted in 4 stone loss in a few months. Even over Christmas I wasn’t too naughty, I only had one day off. This year a few holidays/events have left me feeling a little off track. Sometimes …
Welcome back to my weekly weigh in! As a lot of you may know I have been following the Diet Chef plan since October. The details of all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a look. I haven’t shared a weigh in with you for two weeks; meaning I haven’t weighed myself for three weeks! Yikes! I have been so good since …
As you may know I am currently in the process of losing weight. So far I have lost around 4 stone, with more to shed. Like many busy mums, I struggle to find an exercise programme that fits into my life. I look after Baby full-time and am also a freelancer, so daily trips to the gym just aren’t possible. …
Welcome back to my weigh in with the Diet Chef plan. I have been on the programme since October and you can find all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a little look.

Welcome to my weigh in! Regular readers will know I am currently on the Diet Chef plan. If you are interested in the plan, you can find details of all my previous weigh ins here.

Now I don’t say this lightly, but the Diet Chef plan has changed my life. I was at a point when I was considering gastric band surgery (although I technically wasn’t heavy enough). I was totally miserable with myself and my size; not knowing where to turn. Not being able to exercise hard enough to shift the pounds…. stones, due to back/pelvis …
Welcome back to my weigh in! This week is my 24th week on the Diet Chef plan. All my previous weigh ins are here, if you want a little look-see. So how has this week been, actually pretty good. I had some shopping success (see my mini win) and was on plan all week, apart from one meal (piri piri chicken and roasted …
Welcome to my weigh in! I started my weight loss plan back in October 2014 with the task of losing about 9 stone. Yes, 9 stone that is NOT a typo! I was so lucky to gain the support of Diet Chef, who have continued supporting my journey throughout 2015. All my previous weigh ins are here, if you want a little look. I have been …
Welcome to my weigh in! I have been on the Diet Chef plan since October and have had fabulous results so far! Details of all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a little look. So last week I vowed to be fully back on the wagon and stick to the plan as I have done over the past 20 or so …
Welcome to my weekly weigh in! This week is my 21st week on the Diet Chef plan. If you fancy a look at my previous weigh ins, you can find them here. So this week didn’t go entirely to plan. I was struck down with the lurgy and so ended up being off plan for a couple of meals. Not the fantastic week I intended, but I am …
Welcome to my weigh in! This week is my 20th week on the Diet Chef plan. Details of all my previous weigh ins are here, if you want to catch up. This week has been a pretty easy week food wise. I haven’t felt particularly hungry, I think I am now quite used to the smaller portions. It is true that the more …

Welcome to my weigh in! This week is my 18th week on the Diet Chef plan. Details of all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a little look.

Welcome to my weigh in! This week is my 14th week on the Diet Chef plan. Details of all my previous weigh ins are here if you want a little look. Although I have lost a lot of weight (almost 3 stone before this weigh in), I sadly still have a lot to go. So I thought I would set myself some goals, to …
Regular readers will know that I am currently on a weight loss mission. Having lost 3 stone in 3 months, I am now looking for ways to ensure I keep going at this rate. Since having Baby, exercise has been a bit tricky for me, due to numerous back issues. High impact activities are out of the question, so I have …
