This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bottega Verde. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been at it again, treating myself. This definitely seems to be my new thing, rewarding myself with shopping for clothes and cosmetics and jewellery and other girlie goodness. I never used to bother treating myself so [...]

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but a lot has changed in that time. I moved house on August 23rd and have gone from living with my parents to living with my boyfriend – I don’t think I really realised just how much they did for me at home until it stopped because [...]

I was quite surprised when I weighed in tonight and had lost another pound, I was not expecting a loss this week as I have not worked out nearly as much as usual. We took a trip away for 3 days so I didn’t get the chance to use my elliptical, though we did do [...]

I just realised it is now more than three years since I started out on my weight loss ‘journey’, and I hate calling it that because it’s so Biggest Loser – but really that’s what it has been. I remember having many times of despair along the way, when it was hard, or weight loss [...]

I just met a pretty major goal of mine, I now weigh under 10 stone. I can’t even remember the last time I weighed under 10 stone, I was probably a teenager and when I started out on this journey being under 10 stone seemed like a ridiculous goal – I can’t believe I am [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]
