New size 14 skinny jeans…

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

…I don’t actually feel the need to say more than just the title, that says it all. But I suppose I should. Today I went shopping and I came home with a pair of size 14 falmer skinny jeans. The fact I can wear skinny jeans at all is amazing, the fact they are a [...]

I confused myself

Monday, September 29th, 2008

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 [...]

10 Tips on boosting your metabolism

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

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 [...]

Mmmm Pizza

Friday, July 11th, 2008

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 [...]

Bling Gnome

Friday, June 27th, 2008

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 [...]

Naked Nutrition Network

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, [...]

Great gift idea generator!

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

When it comes to buying gifts, I can buy for the females in my life all day long…mum, sister in law, friends…a walk in the park, but when it comes to the men it’s a different matter entirely – my dad and brother I find especially difficult because neither seem to have any idea themselves [...]

Another lb gone

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Another 1lb lost this week, hurrah. It’s not 2lb like it was for the last two weeks, but it means 5lbs over the last three weeks and that is pretty major for me. Only one more to go and I will be down to 12 stone, that’s been a pretty big mini goal in my [...]

Step it up week # 2 – success

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I could have swarn the I posted this last Wednesday night after I had weighed in, but apparently not. Hmm. I continued with the same pattern, logging every thing, aiming for a 1000 deficit each day and again I lost 2lbs, that’s 4lbs in 2 weeks which is mega for me. I can’t wait to [...]

3 stone gone, 2 and a half more to go.

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I can’t believe that some how I managed to not post to announce that I made it to 12.8, I think it is because I weighed in right before bed and my computer was off, I had planned to blog about it in the morning but I forgot. I do have that habit, if I [...]
