As of tomorrow I will be away for 11 days, staying with family. It’s going to be tough weight loss wise, regardless of how much I try I simply don’t have full control over what I can eat when and how I can exercise when. But I have decided I am not going to worry [...]

Yes yes yes, my new scales now read 11.6…I can now start to actually count the losses again and stop using both scales when I weigh in. Though that’s going to be easier said than done, I used those last night as well because I wanted to see them say 11.4 heh. Must stop using [...]

I was trying on some clothes yesterday, as I have a funeral to attend on Friday, and I was pleased to see that some black trousers that have not fit me in several years now do. Yay. These are pants that I was wearing 5 years ago when my other half and I first got [...]

You may have noticed that I have added a rating system here at LosingPounds.org thanks to ‘SezWho’ – basically it allows you to vote on my posts, give them a star rating out of 5…as well as rate any comments left. You don’t have to register to cast your vote, but if you do then [...]

I got some killer new boots, you like? Of course you do, they are hot! But why am I telling you about them here on my weight loss blog? What do boots have to do with weight loss? Well, I had to try on several pairs before finally choosing these ones…and every single pair fit [...]

So apparently I didn’t gain weight after all, I lost weight. Hurrah. Well, sort of hurrah. I ‘gained’ 1 pound on Sundays weigh in, but today I ‘lost’ 2 pounds…so overall it’s a 1 pound loss. The thing is though I can’t count it, because it’s still more than the old scales. I have gotten [...]

Gosh darn it. I was not expecting that when I stepped on the scales last night. I had two days off from working out over the last 2 weeks when I was feeling unwell and I have been good as gold with my eating — I was ready and waiting for my first loss in [...]

I spoke to my mum and dad a few days ago and they told me that they are moving to Kent, however pretty much every time I talk to them they tell me they are moving somewhere new…Greece, Tenby, Derby and now Kent — but they are still in the old house where they have [...]

So the new plan of attack didn’t exactly get off to the best start, I have been good as gold with my food, but not so much with my working out — in my defence the reason I didn’t work out the last two days is because I got my womanly time of the month, [...]

Aww boo, third week in a row without loss. Being on a plateau for so long, thinking you are finally off it and then hopping right on another one just 5 pounds later…annoying, to say the least. I think it’s time to step it back up a gear. I managed to break my last plateau [...]
