Symply weight loss success
Have you struggled to lose weight? Are you feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to start? If you’re like me and have been on one crazy diet after another with little if any good results, I’m here to help. I want you to know how to lose weight and keep it off forever.
I weighed 100 kilos when I decided to give up dieting and become a healthy person. I lost 35 kilos and have kept it off since 1993. I turned my greatest weakness ‘food’ into my greatest strength and so can you.

Have you decided that this year is your year to get your health back on track? I discovered the secret to weight loss success and it’s probably not what you think. When I weighed 100 kilos, New Year was always a time I’d renew my pledge to lose weight. I’d start out pumped to get
Making the transition to an empty nester – cooking for 1 or 2 people

Potato Salad is usually high in fat and calories. Using bacon short cuts and low-fat mayonnaise makes this a tasty, low-fat and low-calorie salad.Wednesday’s thought… Most of the things I love about December have nothing to do with food. It’s about my family, friends and the joy I get from my grandchildren who love all that makes Christmas special. Focusing away from food means you can truly feel what Christmas is all about - loving and sharing. Annette :-)

Let me show you how easy it is to prevent a skin forming on custard. It's so quick and easy, you'll wonder why you've never thought of it before.Christmas Day can be a little daunting if you’re taking care of the catering. My secret is to have a run sheet for the day. Write a list of everything you need to get done and put it in order with the time to do it written beside – this way you won’t forget anything. Then you can still be part of the family fun knowing everything in the kitchen is under control.

Tuesday’s thought… Don't use the next few weeks as an excuse to give up on your healthy program. I've had 25 Christmases in my healthy weight range. Christmas is not just about food, it's about celebrating your religious faith, time with family and time to relax and enjoy the festivities.

This week we’ve been talking about healthy Christmas gifts. So, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the best gift of all… your time. In this day and age of social media and text messages, many people would prefer you take the time to call or catch up with them rather than stress about what to buy. A thought worth pondering. Have a great weekend. Annette :-)

Friday’s thought… Don’t think that Christmas means you have to give up on your healthy eating plan. Here are some ways to avoid gaining weight at this time of the year:
1) If you have had a big day eating, then cut down the days after to counteract the extra calories and fat.
2) Have my shakes for 2 meals a day while you are so social. The extra fibre and protein will keep you feeling full.
3) Increase your exercise to help you with all the Christmas functions.
4) Take your good intentions with you when you go to any party. Everything in moderation is the key for this time of the year.
