At the start of 2015, I decided it was high time that I lost the last of my child-bearing weight as I plan to have no more (I have 3 children) and my youngest is already 4 🙁 I have dieted in the past both successfully and unsuccessfully using low carb, low fat, low sugar, high protein meal replacements etc .

Hi, I'm Carla
I'm the mother of three fantastic, inspiring and exhausting children.
I love getting messy with arts and crafts, baking and cooking (with or without kids), scrap-booking and decorating my home with unique handmade objects. I like to try out new ways to get fit, healthy and to shift a few of those niggly pounds.
I am also interested in learning ( I have a Higher Diploma in Junior Primary Education and used to teach ages 4-12) and am always on the lookout for great educational ideas and activities to share.
You can read more about me on the About Carla page.
