An early Happy New Year to all! I hope you have a wonderful evening and that 2024 brings you good health, happiness, financial security, love and time to follow your dreams.

I can’t wait to get back on track tomorrow and work hard towards getting below 200 lbs ( 14 stone or 90 kg). I’ve been having a proper rest over the holidays. Normally I cram in all the things I never have time to do but this Christmas, I’ve just kept my head fairly low on social media, YouTube and my blog and just prioritised relaxation and rest and spending time with my family. Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to getting stuck back in to rationing and creating more content.

I have my 1 year weigh in at the doctors in February (I started my monthly weigh-ins at the doctors a month later than when I started at home). I jumped on the scales this morning and weighed in at 236 lbs (which was roughly the same as I weighed 3 months ago). My weight loss slowed down and the last video I recorded of jumping on the scales was late November and I was around 224 lbs so had been losing about 1 lbs a week. Beginning of December I started to eat more and started slipping off the strict rationing I was following and Christmas, of course, has been a free for all so it is no wonder I’m up 12 lbs in a month!

Whilst I’ve enjoyed having too many treats, I feel pretty awful after all the fat, sugar and salt, not to mention all the Ultra Processed crap, so even though tomorrow (and the next few days) will be a headachy detox, after a few days I’ll be feeling much better again and striding forward into the new year, prioritising my health.

Sending you all my love and thank you for all your wonderful, emotional support and encouragement.

I really hope you had an amazing Christmas and truly wish you all the best for 2024.
