Gosh darn it. I was not expecting that when I stepped on the scales last night. I had two days off from working out over the last 2 weeks when I was feeling unwell and I have been good as gold with my eating — I was ready and waiting for my first loss in [...]

I am terrified about tomorrows weigh in, it’s a long time since I have felt as nervous as this over it…usually it’s excitement and the feeling of not being able to wait! I think having not lost anything for so many weeks, a gain, even if it’s only a pound or two, would hit really [...]

So I weighed myself, I was at 12 stone – I literally jumped up and down, I was expecting to have put on a few lbs minimum…but to put it bluntly, I hadn’t been to the loo for a few days and I was fully clothed and I had just had a big meal – [...]

I’m home, had a wonderful time but dreading hopping on those scales tonight. Over the last week or so I have had more ‘naughty’ food than I have had in the last year, I even had a pint and a half of cider and black – my first alcoholic drink in 16 months. I have [...]

So, I am not officially on vacation for 2 weeks. YAY. As I have said, I am not going to go crazy and use being away as an excuse to pile on a load of weight, but I fully expect to return at least a few lbs heavier – if I can lose nothing for [...]

Well, after my last entry professing that I was going to try harder at my work outs and really get things moving again…I only managed 30 minutes on my elliptical tonight. I don’t know what was wrong with me, but my legs just felt like they didn’t want me to work out tonight – I [...]

Yesterday I managed to do 50 minutes on my elliptical, over 400 calories burned according to the read out…though I sort of take that with a pinch of salt…as every online calculator says a different thing. I hadn’t really done that long on it in a few months, when my old one broke down and [...]

So yesterday was meant to be the start of my slighty changed regime – breakfast, and an increse of 200 calories per day. I was all set to start, but then got thrown a curve ball…I weighed myself on Sunday evening as I usually do, 12.8 still for the 4th weigh in in a row, [...]
