Well, I'm back.
I have probably put back on the weight I lost because for the last few weeks I've been fighting off a particularly virulent cold virus - all I've really been able to think about is getting an iced lolly into my mouth because it stopped the burning in my throat for a few minutes (I haven't even visited Jenny in the last few weeks, just so I don't spread it to Kidlet1 and Kidlet2 - She has new cookbooks for us to look through as well)
Still, getting upset will not make me have not put on weight so I won't sit here and type out a tale of woe. All I can do is get back on track and I've started today. Back to following WW's 'filling and healthy' plan and I've breakfasted on mini shredded wheats with 0% greek yogurt and a sliced banana, not forgetting my mug of black coffee (a habit I've picked up from Work, because they only have Full or Semi-Skimmed)
Another thing I think I shall do today is measure out 2 liters of water into a jug and I'll try and drink from it all day - one of my problems is that I don't drink enough
I'm back on track, back in a healthy eating plan frame of mind and ready to get into my dress for Jenny's wedding

First Post
OK, how to start this? Probably by introducing myself - I'm Kate, I'm 28, happily in a relationship with my bloke, proud owner of a very clumsy tortoiseshell cat and this is my blog about my attempts at losing weight.
I'm going to try not to bore you with calorie content, carbs, juices or diet pills, because I'm not following any celebrity diet plan, I'm just following a healthy eating and exercise one. I like to think I'm not the only one that has problems staying on a plan.
At the moment I'm aiming to slim my size-18/20 body down to a size-14 one, in order to fit into a nice dress, that I deliberately bought in a size 14 to keep me motivated.
I'm aided in this quest by my good friend Jenny - that's not her real name, by the way. In the interest of respecting everyone else's privacy, the only real name I'll use in this blog is mine - Jenny's getting married at the end of the year and is determined to fit into her dream wedding dress. I feel she's got a bit of an advantage over me in this weight-loss thing as she has two lovely, very active toddlers (henceforth affectionately known in future posts as Kidlet1 and Kidlet2) who keep her very much on her toes.
A problem that both Jenny and I face is that we both love to bake - nothing makes us drool quicker than a brand new cook book and we're always challenging each other to cook something new. It's just a shame that most of the recipes aren't low fat and everyone knows that before a chef serves a dish, they should always taste it first just in case it tastes terrible (we don't complain until we stand on the scales. We should've known the chocolate cake diet was too good to be true ;) )
On the upside, we can both claim we're prize-winning bakers since entering a recent local bake off. I'm not surprised Jenny won a prize, the Fudgey Lemon Squares she makes are deliciously, sinfully, zesty....and there I go talking about Treat-Food
Today being Saturday, it's my Treat-Day, which means it's the longest possible time before I have to weigh again, so I eat whatever I want, within reason.
Since Wednesday, when I weighed for the first time, I've managed to lose 3lbs - not bad. It looks like the half hour in the early morning at the gym, combined with the healthy eating, is paying off.
There is a reason I go just as the gym opens. To avoid Gym-Bunnies.
I'll explain about those in my next post - the cat is nagging me to feed her.
