As you are no doubt aware, the past week has been quite a stressful one for me. Not least because I have been fluctuating up quite a bit. I lost 2lbs in the beginning of the week but toward the second half of the week I fluctuated up 3lbs. While some have put this […]

Here is a no nonsense article about how to lose weight. I think it really highlights where many of us fall down, particularly in our attitute towards the process.
Weight-Loss Bullshit.
So I’m wearing my Exercise Scientist hat today.
And my Psychologist cardigan.
And my steel-capped, ass-kicking boots.
I may be blunt.
Okay, I will be.
But honest.
Possibly… politically incorrect.
Okay, probably.
Will […]

For ten years I didn’t rein my weight in. I kept a good eye on it and despite not liking what I saw I never did anything about it. This resulted in my putting on 10 excess stones.
In the last ten weeks of dieting I attribute my success down to keeping a very tight […]

Okay, if things haven’t changed by tomorrow morning I am going back on the Xenical.

This is why I am successful at dieting. Because I do not want this to happen to me.
