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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 It’s [...]

Tomorrow marks two years since I decided it was time for me to get healthy and I started out on my weight loss journey. Two years, wow. I had really hoped to have got to the 5 stone lost stage now as it would be the ideal time to hit that milestone, but I am [...]

Woohoo there goes that Christmas and new year gain already! 3 pounds in less than two weeks, that is pretty major for me. It seems that taking my foot off the pedal did me good, shocked my body into doing something, because I was pretty stalled and I doubt I would have lost 3 pounds [...]

One of those pesky pounds lost already I can’t wait to get to my next mini goal of ‘Under 11 stone’, I feel it will be a huge mental break through for me to no longer be in the ‘obese’ category, and within the same stone as I was 5 years ago at my lowest [...]

There’s no right or wrong way to eat. Healthy eating is all about motivation, balance, and flexibility. There will be times when you eat a high-fat meal or eat beyond fullness, or when your schedule gets so busy that you miss a work- out. This happens. It’s normal. But it’s very important that you don’t [...]
