It's the 1st March so I'm drawing a line under February. Although I still don't feel normal, I am on the mend and have had a huge appetite, probably to make up for the days when I didn't feel like eating anything. I am also trying to drink 2ltrs of water a day :)

Hi Aaleigha, thank you for your comments. I'm not totally 100% all the time, but I record everything and try and syn everything I need to as well. I am no longer a slimming world member, as I kept switching between that and weight watchers and I just kept gaining weight; not the diets I hasten...

Thank you, that's so supportive and encouraging. I have to lose the weight now as the impact on my knees and hip is horrendous and painful. It's a constant reminder why I'm doing this. At 39 I quit smoking 40 a day as I felt ill all the time; however, the benefits of that were instantaneous...

That's good, you have to do what's best for your child and sometimes the conventional method of school doesn't suit every child. I had a terrible time at secondary school and left with just two O'Levels, maths and needlework. I went back to college in my 30s and got a diploma in Education and IT...

Home schooling is no easy task, I worked in the Education dept of our local LA before, so I know that takes a lot out of you. On the positive side your subject knowledge will increase a long the way and stand you in good stead for anything you plan to do in the future. Teaching is no easy task...

At first I thought I'm too old, I should have done it earlier and what would be the point, as it's not like I am going to be a lawyer. Then one day I was talking to a couple who were about 60 and they had complete a degree together and it was so inspiring. I would recommend that you bite the...

The degree is liberating. I thoroughly enjoy it, apart from when I'm rushing to complete an assignment. In some ways it helps with the diet, as I'm too busy to to pick at food and because my mind is occupied I'm not thinking about it all the time. At first I thought I was mad doing a...

Wow is all I can say. I've just read through your food diary and your amazing success. Seeing your journey makes me feel that losing 9.5 stone is possible. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

Yes, 16K doesn't seem too bad, compared to 23k. I misunderstood what you was originally referring to and assumed you meant the whole degree was free. The trouble with OU is that the other students are quite insular and it is difficult to find study buddies, something that naturally occurs as a...

That's lucky, mine is going to cost £16K in OU fees, but I have a student loan and I probably won't have to pay it all back if I retire at some point. If I was younger I would have wanted to qualify as a teacher. Good luck ☺

What are you studying? I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive in starting my law degree, as I had left school more than 30 years ago. I probably used it as an excuse to eat more rubbish. I told my husband that I didn't have time to work, study and cook. However, now I have settled into it I...

I turned 50 last October and started my degree; however, the one thing I haven't managed to do is lose weight. In fact, due to issues with my declining mobility, I gained 2 stone last year. At 19st 4lbs I am the heaviest I've ever been in my life. This additional weight is just creating more...

This week I need to stop putting pressure on myself and setting unachievable goals. I make the requirements so tight that when I can't stick to them, because they are unrealistic, I go to pieces and stuff my face. I have to get it in my head that loosing 3 stone by March is not achievable and a...

Tuesday 16/12/14 Another disaster day. When am I going to put any effort into his plan. I just get this overwhelming urge to eat sugary foods and I just can't seem to get enough of them. Seriously, it was easier to stop smoking 40 cigarettes a day than it is for me to resist these urges and...

Saturday 13/12/14 The day started out with the best of intentions. I had a banana then bacon medallions, egg, beans, mushrooms and tomatoes for breakfast, believing that if I filled myself up with free foods I would be fairly good in the day. However, once I got in my car and started my two...

I now feel mean. I was getting on the bus this morning and a mother and her son were on two seats and she was trying to get her other younger son to sit on the seat opposite. However, he didn't want to so I sat on it. She clearly didn't like this and said 'excuse me that's my son's seat'. To...

I've found if you restrict yourself to much then you end up feeling miserable and then quitting. If you fancy something inbetween try to make it superfree or a free yogurt. I'm a grazer, so I eat all the time but I try to make my snacks fruit or yogurts. All my snacks are eaten in between meals :)

I've got SW parmesan scotch eggs (3 syns), beans and potato wedges. With melon to start as my third of supper free foods.

This is my second attempt at slimming world. The first time I lost a stone but kept making all the syn free desserts and eating the whole lot, eventually I stopped losing weight and stopped going. My rule now is to make 1 or 2 max desserts a week and if I eat them in one day I don't get anymore.
