For the last few months (up until I went on my holidays), I've been following the Slimming World plan (on a budget) and I've lost just over a stone altogether.It would have been a stone and a half but the half went back on while I was on my holidays!In an effort to be frugal I wasn't going to a Slimming world group, I was going it alone using some books that a friend gave to me but it was hard work.

Lose Weight the Frugal Way….

I haven't decided yet if I'm … [Read more...]
