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 [...]

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 [...]

Mmmm I just had a pepperoni pizza, that’s the first time in a long time I have had one! I had to attend a funeral today, and I managed to avoid eating at the wake as it was all Italian high calorie food, but it went on a lot longer than I had thought so [...]

Have you guys heard about Dungeon Runners? It’s a new, slightly surreal sounding, role playing game that features little critters known as Bling Gnomes. A Bling Gnome is a..err..well blinged out gnome that follows you around collecting the items you leave behind, then basically poos them out as gold – I did say it was [...]

As you guys know, in my what seems like never ending quest to lose weight, I am always on the look out for resources that can help me along the way. I have reviewed several websites dedicated to weight loss in the past, as well as a few great weight loss community sites. So now, [...]
