To my WW family,

Firstly, I would like to start by thanking each and every one of you who purchased and enjoyed my first book, 50% Weight Lost, 100% Healthier.

I’ve loved watching you all cook recipes from the book, and I’ve been blown away by all the positive messages I’ve read and responded to, telling me how much my story has inspired them. The experience has been truly humbling, and I feel so grateful that I’ve been able to share my story and inspire others on their journey. It’s why I penned the book in the first place!

So, when I was asked to write another book, I knew I wanted to share the next part of my story: weight maintenance, or how I’ve kept the weight off. On this journey, there really is no end, only chapters. For me, this book is just that: the second chapter.

This new book has over 90 recipes, and I’m so proud to share them with you all. They’re for everyone to enjoy, wherever you may be on your journey, and I hope you embrace them and bring them to life in your own kitchen. Hopefully they may even become family favourites, as they have in my home! I’m also excited that I get to share even more tips, kitchen hacks, meal-prepping inspo and what a typical week looks like for me ‘on a plate’. You’ll also notice a new and exciting feature in this book, a QR code for each recipe, making it easier than ever to follow the program and seamlessly track in the WW app.

Just like in book one, I’m here to show you that you can achieve a habit-forming lifestyle that works not just for weight loss, but for life. Sometimes, we can be so focused on getting to our goal that when we finally get there, we think, ‘Now what?’ (Well, I know I did!) So, in this book, I wanted to explore life after reaching my goal – what happens next, if anything changes, how to do this long term and how to live the dream while keeping the weight off … for good!

To give you a sneak peek, here is the truth: perfection is impossible when it comes to losing and maintaining weight. As in life, there will always be ups, downs, curve balls and challenges, but we rise to these challenges, not alone, but together. This is what I love most of all about the WW community. WE ARE THERE FOR EACH OTHER.

Once again, I sincerely hope that my new book inspires you, guides you, motivates you and helps you on your own wellness journey and beyond. More importantly, I hope it shows you that you too can achieve the same success as I have on the WW program.

This book has been a labour of love, but it wouldn’t be what it is without the support from you all, the WW Community. It’s always meant so much to me, so from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. I hope you enjoy reading and cooking from it, as much as I have enjoyed writing it for you.

Lastly, a big shout out to the incredible team at Pan Macmillan and WW for believing in me and supporting my wish to give back to you guys. Without them, this book would not have happened.

Enjoy, my friends.
