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 [...]

I have done exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do and at last nights weigh in — I used both sets of scales again…and now, well colour me confused. I have no idea if I lost weight, gained weight or stayed the same. Having two different sets of scales on the go is [...]

Well, now I am confused. When I used them on Wednesday there was a 3 pound discrepancy — the old scales said 11.6, the new ones said 11.9. I have just had my Sunday night weigh in and decided to weigh on both to see the difference, and because I still have not decided if [...]

I have only very recently started weight training, despite doing this weight loss malarkey for a year and a half now. I never really saw the point of it before, why try gain muscle when I could be burning calories? But I did some reading up about it and now I understand, here are some [...]

No loss again this week, but that’s OK — I usually find that if I am going to lose anything it comes off for the Wednesday weigh in, not the Sunday one. And by the next weigh in on Wednesday I will (should) have my new fancy pants scales, so double the reason to look [...]

You hear it all the time – “metabolism”, but what is it? It’s the process of converting food to energy (movement and heat). Metabolism happens in your muscles and organs and the result of it is what we commonly refer to as “burning calories”. Metabolism is essentially the speed at which your body’s motor is [...]

I love going to Wales on holiday, it’s absolutely my favourite place in the UK to visit. When ever it is possible my other half and I like to go to South Wales, to the Pembrokshire area — but that is a very long way from where we are, so when we only have the [...]

Well, I am just about to head off to bed, because tomorrow I am going shopping…yay. Something that is long overdue, I need new clothes! It’s so strange though, because it’s like although the weight loss has been gradual…all of my clothes still fit, some were getting lose, a few didn’t fit at all, but [...]

That title makes it sound like I have a drink problem, ha. I can assure you that I don’t, even before I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol I wasn’t a heavy drinker. Maybe 3 or 4 drinks per week, usually on a Tuesday night in my local pub with my other half and [...]
