Hi everyone!
If I told you about all the times I've started and failed a diet in the past we'd be here all night, lol! However, something just feels right this time...... like I really want to do this for me! I'm so tired of being overweight and unfit..... and never being able to wear the nice things I see in the shops. I have at least 5 stone to lose overall...... maybe more, PHEW!!! Anyway, the good news is that I've lost my first stone, WOOHOO!!! And I figure that going public about the mountain ahead of me might just help to keep me on the straight and narrow. So I've decided to offer up some candy every time I lose another stone, so that we can all join in the celebrations together ;o)
I only ask two things..... that you add a piccie to your sidebar to spread the word and that you tell me what you miss the most when you are on a diet or healthkick. For me it has to be CHEESE ON TOAST! I'm not really a chocolate lover..... give me pizza and chips any day!!!!
My candy is open to anyone in the world so please feel free to enter. Here's what I'm offering:
Papermania Chatsworh paper pad
Nestabilities Labels Seven die set
Bow Easy
Prima Flowers
Motivet Rubber Stamp
Green Vine Ribbon
Lots of lace
Only one entry per person please and you must have a crafting blog!
The candy runs until midnight on Monday 20th September and I will announce the winner on the Tuesday morning!
Good luck everyone and thanks for stopping by!
TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx

Hello Tara!
As for me that was not a problem to be on diet and I did not miss any food at all if I had the aim ahead.. So if you want to eat some cheeze you would have just a little daily - this is not a problem even. The right diet is do not say 'no' to all food to get slimmer but to eat all food separately. This is my opinion on diet.
Many thanks for the chance to win this nice candy. I linked it on sidebar

Hi Tara!
Good for you for wanting to be fit and healthy! I'm trying to exercise and eat more healthy too. I had 2 kids in a row, so i still have that baby weight to get rid off. I miss eatting sweets when i'm on diet, cookies, chocolates, cakes and i even have to cut out ice cream!!! =(
anyways, good luck on reaching your goals and thanks for offering such yummy blog candy!
hugs

WAY TO GO! That's fab news. Keep it up! And thanks for offering us the goodies (non-caloric!) I've put this on my sidebar - and hope you draw my name!
Tara a stone off already is a great start, wish I had your determination! I'm like you and don't have an over sweet tooth give me cheese and biscuits or any of the savoury things that aren't good for the weight.
Best of luck with sticking to it and hopefully you will be able to show us a dramatic before and after photo before too long.
Great candy and thanks for including us in your weighty challenge.

Wow many congratulations on losing your first stone. I am lucky in that I don't really need to lose too much probably about half a stone to feel comfy in my jeans again but I am really unfit and need to motivate myself to go and exercise (would much rather sit and make a card lol). I am another savoury lover and would miss my cheese, bread and crisps. Debs xx
Hi Tara, oh congrats on your first stone, I know how hard it is to stay focussed on a diet! Lovely idea to proclaim it and hope this will help keep you on the straight and narrow( waistband he he he!)and even lovelier you've decided to treat us, yipee! Thanks and Good Luck:) xxx

Forgot to say, I miss my butter when I'm dieting 'cos I like itnice and thick on me toast!!
My version of the diet is low-fat yogurt or sour milk. I drink kefir every night before going to sleep.
Really I have 15 cholecystis stones inside. Unfortunatelly our medicine (in my town) cannot help me. So I need diet too. But I LOVE coffee&chocolate.
Fortunatelly I dislike chips and cheese. So let's change!: ))))
Really wish you good health:)
I took your piccie on my sidebar (left). Good luck me & good luck you!
oh tara hun,well done on loosing your first stone,so well done hun that is such an achievment,I do not have that problem,hun as food never really bothers me hate to say it but I can live without it the only thing i cant live without is my coffee i drink over 20 cups a day opps,brilliant candy hun will add it to my side bar,good luck with loosing more weight hun love hugs cheryl xxxxx
Hi Tara, congratulations on your first stone (the hardest in my opinion ~ Other than keeping it off!) x I too need to lose weight (3 stone) and have stopped and started so many times too that I am almost too embarrassed to start again x however, you know what, reading your inspiring post, has made my mind up for me, I am going to start too!
What do I miss most while on a diet? That is hard, because I actually love all the food you are supposed to eat, but I suppose I miss chocolate the most x
I have posted your candy on my sidebar HERE! x And please keep us posted on your progress (ups and downs) x Keep up the good work x Leigh x
Congratulations on your weight loss!!! I'm starting a diet tomorrow & I hope I can stick with it!!!
Congratulations on losing your 1st stone Tara,Go Girl!!!!keep up the good work i,m so pleased for you.I,ll be watching out for your 2nd stone losing post.I would miss my weekly chinese takeaway most.Thanx for the chance of such yummy candy.
(hugs)
Trish (-:
Hi Tara - well done you on losing that first stone!! I am just a little jealous!! I need to lose some poundage too but just don't have the stamina or the willpower! And I am an absolute chocolate addict!! That and toast and butter!! Fab that we get to benefit for every stone you lose!!! Keep up the good work, Hugs, Juliexxx
Tara, we are both in the same boat. Hope it is made of strong wood lol lol. I have lost a stone in the last 3 weeks with Slimming World's extra easy plan and have a few mor stones to lose. That is understating !!! The food item I miss most is probably crisps or sweets or ice-cream or chocolate or chinese food...... get the idea .... HELP. But i will persevere, I need to BIG TIME. xx Doreen
Well done you, I am constantly trying to loose weight and find it so hard so well done and keep it up. My thing that I miss most, I think would have to be fresh baked bread and I know if I don't eat starchy foods like bread and potatoes I do loose weight but particularly bread is there when you go in the kitchen and your tummy is rumbling and its cold outside and the thought of a pioece of fruit is just not as appealing, I don't even need butter just a bucket full of willpower I think. Thanks for the chance to win som delish candy too.
Congratulations on losing a stone. I've been dieting on and off for as long as I can remember - my weight fluctuates by about 10lbs. I miss snacks when I'm dieting - crisps mainly.
Well done Tara,It's the hardest thing in the world to do isn't it...ohhh I hate diets, but, because I am prone to being a 'fatty' well you know the script...I LOVE cheese on toast too, the very thought of it..mmmm the best diet I ever did was slimmers worls, lost loads and never hungry...need to start again though, so overwieght it's doing my head in....wish you so much luck with this.....congrats.xxxx
Congrats! The beginning is hardest, so I'm sure you'll do well! I can't live without french fries, but when on a diet I try to eat them only once in 2 weeks. I've put a link in my sidebar . Thanks for a chance to win! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
Congratulations on losing your first stone. Not sure how much that is...lol...but I am sure I have several stones to lose. The things I would miss most are sweets. I can do without salty foods...but I would miss the cookies and candy. Thanks for a chance at such fab candy. Best wishes on your weight loss journey!
Hi Tara! Great blog candy! Thanks for the chance to win! i'm a new follower and i've put your candy on my sidebar!

LOL.
I have a VERY sweet tooth..
smiles Christine xx
Hi Tara, oh my goodness well done on losing a stone - you have done brilliantly already. I'm have a sweet tooth so when I "try" and diet I miss the biscuits and chocolate :( I should take a leaf out of your book and try again but it's so easy to fail isn't it. Keep up the good work and thanks for offering such yummy and calorie free candy. I've added a pic and link in my sidebar. Hugs, Denise x
Hi Tara,
Well done on losing the first stone - a great achievement. I lost 3 stones by limiting myself to 1000 calories a day and I craved chocolate all the time.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your candy.

Congrats on your weight loss! I've got some to lose myself. I think I would miss pizza the most. Or potato chips...I have to stop, I'm making myself hungry here.
I've posted a link on my sidebar. Thanks for a chance to win!
I did the Big Loosing last year - had more to loose than you have. Just felt huge and uncomfortable. It really is all about mindset - and in my case it's either being totally and religiously strict or no luck at all. The moment I have ONE treat the focus is gone. I missed roast pork of all the things, lol
Still have about stone and half to shift - maybe I should join you. I've been trying to put together some candy anyway!!! lol
Best of luck to you and fingers crossed!!
Hugs
Annika
Hello Tara!! well done on the stone lost!! No wonder you are so pleased!!

Lots of love from Kerryn x
Wow thank you so much for the chance to win this yummy sugar free candy lol :D
What I would miss the most is sweets I am not a chockie person either but jelly sweets like haribo now that is a big weak spot for me.

Good luck with the diet and well done on losing a stone already. I really miss big platefuls of yummy curry with rice and naan bread!

Hugs

Hi Tara,
A big congratulations on your weight loss achievement! Definitely worth to celebrate and announce to friends and family.
I wish I have the same strong aim like you. But too bad that I cannot stop my hands and mouth if my stomach is making noise. I like unhealthy foods like fried foods so that make it worst. I never achieved any milestone.....:(
Anyway, keep up the good works! I am sure you can make it so that we have more candies.....hehehehe.....
Hugs,

Well done Tara!!!
Since I got my diabetes (type 1) diagnosis last year, the one thing I really miss is crisps!!! I used to sit and scoff them whilst watching the sport at the weekend. Now it just doesn't feel right not eating them!
I lost 10kg due to getting so ill and have managed to lose another 3kg since. Not a great deal but considering my weight has only ever been on an upward slope since I was 21, not bad going. Having loose jeans is a great feeling!!
I agree - don't deny yourself anything otherwise you'll just feel deprived. Every now and then I have a nibble of hubby's biscuit!
Anyway, have added your blog candy to my sidebar and keeping my fingers crossed!

Congrats on your weight loss...I should follow your lead too but I've never been on a diet. For the first time in my life I do need to lose weight and don't know where to start. I guess the hardest thing for me to give up would be bread or some sweets.
Thanks for the chance to win your sugar free goodies...I have added you to my sidebar.
