As of Wednesday, when I get my replacement elliptical — I am going to do aerobics in the mornings and elliptical in the evenings for at least 6 days. Having this week off when I hadn’t planned for it has freaked me out and with Christmas just around the corner I feel I really should [...]

Now that I am finally logging losses again, time to concentrate on my next mini goal — 10.13, officially in the 10 stones and no longer in the obese category! It still annoys me that I am still in the obese category, going on 2 years after I started my weight loss journey — but [...]

Happy days, that 1lb that I gained and hoped would fall straight back of again…did do, along with another 1lb. This means that for the first time in over 2 months I get to update my trackers! For those not following, that’s not because I have lost no weight in 2 months, I have been [...]

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’m not much of a cook, in fact…I am not a cook at all. The less time in the kitchen the better! I am terrible at it and I don’t enjoy it, but today I did some cooking — I made some healthy onion bahjis, I absolutely love them and have been eating them a [...]

Seafood – YUM. Seriously, it’s delicious and generally healthy – salmon is my absolute favourite fish, I have it once a fortnight as a treat…it tastes real good and coupled with some pasta makes a really scrummy meal. Plus I am forever snacking on crab sticks and the like. I love getting local produce whenever [...]

So, now that my migraine seems to have subsided (touch wood) I am back to working out – I only stopped for 2 weeks, but it’s amazing how out of the loop you get with it, 30 minutes/300 calories is killing me the last few days and usually I’d see that as only a minor [...]

Oh boy, it feels good to see that scale move again…soooooo good. I weighed myself on Sunday and was 11.9 instead of the beastly 11.11 I have been stuck at for over 2 months I am only blogging about it now though because I was worried it was just a temporary blip and the 11.11 [...]
