Hello all,
Welcome to this month's Onwards & Downwards. We welcome anyone serious about losing weight and we offer support and kind thoughts - not magic fixes, just sensible help.
Easter is almost upon us and while the kiddies may enjoy gorging on the chocolate it is not ideal so how about some healthy but yummy alternative treats instead?
how about some tasty oaty biscuits:

These have honey as a sweetener and no sugar!
Chocolate covered strawberries or other fruit is also a good way to reduce the sugar especailly if you use good quality dark chocolate, or you could use a yoghurt or creme freche dip instead.
This is making me hungry and I might do the yoghurt fruit dip with some chopped bananas, peaches or even dried apricots (although these do have a sugar coating I think).
It can be difficult if you are around your kids or grandchildren but these are a great start :-)
Don't forget your weekly weigh on Wednesday and remember we don't judge!
