Low-fat Diet Sheet

I take Statins to reduce cholesterol levels and I'm aware that when you cut out all high fat foods it brings your cholesterol levels down.

A website has been brought to my attention and I'd like to share it with you.  It's common sense stuff really, but anything that helps - right?!  It starts off by saying:

"A diet that is generally low in fat and healthy can help you to lose weight, or maintain your weight. It can also help to you to lower your cholesterol level."

If you're interested, click on this link and tell me what you think!

First Weigh In

Oh The Stress!

"It should have been a Diet Coke!"


Cut To The Chase . . .


Lost: 3 1/4 lbs

If this was a 1st official weigh-in I'd be very disappointed, however, I started my diet on 1st December 2012.  I'm guessing I may have lost maybe 4 or 5 lbs in December.

I can feel from my clothes - that something is definitely happening!


I've been in such a state about getting weighed and wondering what the scales were going to say, I've changed my mind about 'not going to weigh myself every week'  as mentioned here.

So, the plan to date is, weigh-in the beginning of each month and the middle of each month, we'll see how it goes.

I've been having this love affair with half-fat crème fraîche, with anything really. I was brought up on desserts and feel that a meal isn't complete without one.  My favourite at the moment is baked apple or low fat yoghurt and of course crème fraîche.

What's your favourite dessert, that's not too fattening?
