When I was growing up I always had to wear eyeglasses, from around the age of 5 until I was about 18. I actually really liked wearing them – the day I used to go pick out a new pair was like a birthday to me.
Of course this changed when I got older and had [...]

I just realised it is now more than three years since I started out on my weight loss ‘journey’, and I hate calling it that because it’s so Biggest Loser – but really that’s what it has been.
I remember having many times of despair along the way, when it was hard, or weight loss was [...]

So I stick with my Crazy Low Calorie diet last week, I was consuming anything from 700 – 1200 per day and burning anthing from 400 – 700 through exercise.
I actually lost 2lbs.
This makes me very happy as I have not lost any wieght no matter what I have tried recently – however I am [...]

I just met a pretty major goal of mine, I now weigh under 10 stone. I can’t even remember the last time I weighed under 10 stone, I was probably a teenager and when I started out on this journey being under 10 stone seemed like a ridiculous goal – I can’t believe I am [...]

I had an awesome dream that I won a contest and got a $5000 shopping spree, in my dream I could spend it any where I wanted and one of the many stores I chose was Matalan. I am sure that in my dream I spent closer to $50000 than $5000 though hehe.
If I really [...]

It looks like my little trip away was just what the doctor ordered, I finally braved a weigh in and to my (somewhat) surprise I had lost a few pounds. I was 10.5 when I headed away and am now 10.2 after two weeks of little exercise and indulgence.
Happy days.
I say indulgence, I wasn’t that [...]

I feel like I have done nothing but moan here recently, my weight loss has been so slow of late and I keep getting sick I have not had much good news.
But I finally reached my next mini goal of 10.4, it’s been a long time coming! And although it is a min goal it’s [...]

One of the downsides of losing weight is that you have to go out and buy new clothes all the time.
One of the upsides of losing weight is that you have to go out and buy new clothes all the time
It would probably suck if you weren’t a shopping fan but since I [...]

Well as predicated, the weigh in did not go great…I had gained a pound or two…I am now back at 10.11 — which sucks because I now have to lose 1 lb to get back down to the 5 stone lost in total milestone – doh.
The migraine continued for a few more days, so last [...]

Yay, today I reached a huge milestone — I am 10 stone 10 pounds for a total of 5 stone lost since I started out on this weight loss journey over two years ago now — that’s awesome
A lot slower than the guys on The Biggest Loser sure, but it’s realistic and sustainable [...]
