Updated photos

I finally got round to taking some new photos today to help document my weight loss. I no longer have a full length mirror so had to get Dave to take them, but tried to stay in the same pose as the others, and wearing the same tshirt.

I am 39lbs lighter in these photos than the ones I took in 2011 which can be found on my weight loss photos page.
I think it's good to document your progress with photos as well as numbers as sometimes the scales don't budge and everything else does :)

Just a reminder if you haven't entered my Peanut Butter & Co. giveaway you have 6 more days to enter.

Have a great weekend everyone xxx

Peanut Butter & Co Review and Giveway

I'm excited to be hosting my first ever giveaway, and one of my favorite products - peanut butter.

I've recently noticed a lot of people on Twitter talking about peanut butter from Peanut Butter & Co. and when I found out they did a white chocolate version I HAD to try it.

For those of you concerned about the recent peanut butter recalls, Peanut Butter & Co. products are not affected by the recall :)

All of their products are kosher, gluten free and vegan (except The Bees Knees which is vegetarian), they do a range of peanut butter related products. Their peanut butter comes in 10 varieties:
Smooth Operator (which as the name suggests is a smooth version), Crunch Time (contains big pieces of peanuts), Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (contains cinnamon and raisins), The Heat is On (spicy PB), White Chocolate Wonderful (contains white chocolate), Dark Chocolate Dreams (contains dark chocolate), The Bees Knees (contains honey), Mighty Maple (contains maple syrup), and Old Fashioned Smooth and Old Fashioned Crunchy. So something for everyone's tastes, and who doesn't like peanut butter?!

When I went to my store they had Dark Chocolate Dreams and White Chocolate Wonderful, so I was super happy to try the White Chocolate one.

We all know the best part about having peanut butter is when you are the first person to open the jar, the seal just waiting to be broken into, and of course the untouched peanut butter. It's like seeing freshly fallen snow and wanting to go run in it!!

I'm sure there is a law somewhere and if not there should be that says you MUST eat the first spoonful straight from the jar. It just tastes so good, and I was not disappointed with White Chocolate Wonderful. I was worried it might be too sweet with the white chocolate, but it was just right, in fact so good I ate three spoonfuls straight from the jar!! Another plus side about this flavor is although it contains white chocolate it is actually dairy free (so ideal for people like me with a dairy allergy). It also contains no cholesterol, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, and no high-fructose corn syrup.

I then had to try it my second favorite way - which was on warm toast - and again it didn't disappoint. I think I could quite happily live on peanut butter and toast for the rest of my life :)

OK, now on to the fun part that you all came here for. Peanut Butter & Co. have supplied my with coupons so two of my lucky readers get to try a jar of their peanut butter free of charge. The lucky winners will be announced on Thursday October 18th.
This competition is only open to US residents, all entries must be submitted via Rafflecopter  (app below)

Good Luck
