Happy New Year!
New Year is traditionally a time when a lot of us make a resolution to lose weight.
Well, I won't be making that resolution this year!!
Permit me a moment of smugness ...........
You remember at the start of June I embarked on a quest to lose 16lb?

You remember at the start of June I embarked on a quest to lose 16lb?
I said if it worked I'd let you know how I did it.
Well ............
................... ta dah!
................... ta dah!
So, how did I do it?
Well, I decided that:
- I can't take out an evening to attend a weight loss class (far too busy being a working mum)
- I love messing about on the internet
- I love cooking (and baking, which was one of my problems)
- I don't want a faddy diet, I want to eat sensibly and healthily again, permanently
I chose the Light Choices Recipe Plan so I could still indulge my love of cooking, I picked up a few new recipes which went down well with the whole Working Mum Family (who knew daughter would love Chinese Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup?) and I managed to kick the sugar habit (I still bake the cakes and biscuits, but I give most of them away).
It took a bit longer than intended, but I got there in the end, just two days before Christmas!
So I have lost the pounds I had gained and I have regained the healthy eating habits I had lost.
Now I need to find a new New Year's Resolution!
PS This was not a sponsored post, but if Tesco want to credit me a few more Clubcard points for my favourable review, I wouldn't say no!

Excellent .. very very well done ,you should be well pleased with yourself :-)
I recently joined Rosemary Conley on line hoping for the same results
Good luck, Sally! Keep focused and you'll do it.
Well done, a new wardrobe as a reward perhaps?
Well done, I really must try...
well done!
Fantastic, well done you!
Very well done! I am revisiting my exercise plan. Walking the dog is great but it's not burning enough calories!
congrats on the champers wine - yay and happy new year from ours to yours :)
oh! and congrats on the 16lb - well done that girl
Student Mum - great idea! Most of my clothes now have safety pins in them so they don't fall off me - lovely feeling though!
Very well done.
I am trying half heartedly to lose weight too.I will be getting more serious about it as the Spring gets nearer.
I think this weather makes you feel like eating more.

That is fantastic, good on you and well done on your weight loss.
Well done you! And Tesco should definitely reward you for that excellent plug.
It doesn't matter how long it took, well done for getting there!

Always good to read of successful weight loss! I've eaten far too much over Christmas and have put on a few pounds but have started back at the gym three times a week so hope to get back in shape soon. I've put a picture of a very fat person on the outside of the biscuit tin - that usually works for me!!
I had noticed the ticker tick over ... well done! I am most envious of your determination and self-will. Congratulations.
WOW v impressive. Happy New Year to you all Lx
Well done you..keep it up!
Me too! I am 9lbs lighter with many more to go, I am, loving Tesco Diets
Many, many congratulations! I try to keep my weight under control, because it would be so easy to become a chubby middle aged woman. Unfortunately, our neighbours bought us a box of Waitrose chocolate biscuits for Christmas and I just can't resist them. I didn't eat them all in one sitting though. ;0)
