So, I weighed myself this morning, and dare I say it, I need to lose about 2 stone.

I'm told that taking a before photo can be really motivating, and also to take body measurements, as often when the scales show no change, the tape measure inspires.

So, first challenge: take your measurements - waist, bust, hips, widest part, and take a photo. Put on your favourite outfit, and a big smile. This is the start of something new! We can share the photos tomorrow, if you'd like to. If not, then it'll just be me!

Next challenge - my trainer says that planning is key. To succeed, you should plan breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and evening meal. If you plan, you are less likely to stray. I've tried this, and it does work,as it takes away the stress of feeling hungry, and then eating everything in the house...for me, normally sweets, crips and a glass of wine (or more....). Also, Kitty, who works with us, and who incidentally is perfectly proportioned, announces her dinner choices for practically the full week, on a Monday morning...

I've found a great web place for recording food choices, and measurements - all free.

Now, for the stitching inspiration, because, if we are stitching, we are not eating, and if we are inspired, then we are happy and full of energy, so not comfort eating....

Have a look at the latest collections coming from our fabric designers. Now there, is some inspiration! Sooo exciting!
