52 Diets

Once upon a time, I was big - heavy but happy – and then I lost weight and kept it off. This blog started off because, after 2 babies, I was still carrying that annoying half stone that we all want to lose and never can. And there are a million diets out there to choose from. So I tried as many as I could. One at a time, week by week. Now, nearly 7 years later, I've still got that same 7 pounds to lose (and I still haven't taken the hint and given up!)
