It was my birthday last year when I started on this journey and it would feel like a great accomplishment to be able to say that I have lost 3 stone in 1 year. I feel like I lose weight really slowly, and I do, I can go for 4 or 5 weeks working my booty off and only lose a lb..or sometimes even nothing….so I always feel down on myself, like I should be doing better, like I am not doing enough, like I could be losing faster – especially when you see other people talking about dropping weight fast on various web sites online, or watch shows like the biggest loser where they drop a stone in a week!

But when I look at it like that, 3 stone in 1 year, 42 lbs in 1 year….that seems perfectly acceptable.

That means losing 4lbs in 5 weeks however, almost a lb a week…eep, when you are a slow loser like I am that seems like an awful lot. But I am going to give it a real go :)

Thankfully I managed to find a new one, a better one, that I have now ordered…it will be with me by Monday. Only another 3 day to go without it! There’s one thing that this has taught me though, I need to be less reliant on it…I really should change up my routine any way, I am sure doing the same thing every day (70+ interval training on elliptical) isn’t the most effective thing I can be doing. I managed to download a fitness DVD that I have been doing most nights, and have managed to at least not gain any thing. Once I have my lovely new machine I shall think about switching things up, so I am perhaps doing elliptical one night, aerobics the next etc :)

Here it is, it’s actually a whole 40cm shorter than my old machine…this is awesome because it really did take up a lot of room. It also has a “3 target + body fat user programmes” facility on it, I am not even sure what that means…but my old machine certainly didn’t have it :)
