“Welcome to The Great British Bake Off…<\/em> In our house, those words mean it\u2019s time to settle down with a cuppa and something sweet, to see what\u2019s in store for the contestants that week. I love cooking and baking for my family, and just like those bakers in the famous white tent, I also like to challenge myself to whip up cakes, pudding and desserts \u2013 only I make them the Slimming World way! With a few simple swaps and a dash of creative thinking, I\u2019ve made Food Optimising sponges, cookies, flans and mousses \u2013 and I enjoyed them even more knowing they wouldn\u2019t damage my weight loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined Slimming World in 2015, at my heaviest weight of 18st 3lbs. On that first night in group I remember being surprised that I could bake cakes and eat dessert every day, if I wanted to! By 2017 I’d lost 6st and, to celebrate, I posed for a new set of wedding photos, swapping my old size-16 dress for a new size-12. Slimming World has helped me to discover a brilliant balance of loving food and being a healthy weight!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
