I have a new incentive to lose weight. My friend has just won an overnight stay on a cruise ship and she has asked me to go with her! We sail from Southampton to Brugge (Belguim) overnight, stay in Brugge for the day and then head back. It is in September. I cannot wait. Everything [...]

A couple of months ago I talked about my night time eating. It was a problem then and it is still a problem now. This is intensified by the fact that I suffer from insomnia. But I tend to wake up in the night and half-consciously go and eat, go back to bed, wake [...]

I slipped this weekend. It was at the end of the night fri-sun night. Friday night I had the opportunity to go out but then my friend couldn’t get a sitter so it didn’t happen. I overate on fruit, feeling sorry for myself, but stopped before any damage was done. Saturday I just got [...]

I need to make a conscious effort to cut down the quantity in my main meal. When I started I would make a big salad to go with my meal in order to satisfy my then rather large appitite. Since then my appitite and stomach have shrunk but my dinner portion has not. The [...]

Thank you to every one of you who left a comment congratulating me on my mega weightloss this week, it really does help to have the support from y’all. (I’m not from Texas or anything, I’m just being silly. LOL)
I went to the gym yesterday afternoon but I had to cut it short due [...]

I don’t normally like to talk about my day to day pound losses in the week, partly due to possible flutuations but also because it means it sounds better in my weekly weigh in on Friday, but today I just cannot help myself.
You see, I am in the 17-stone range at long last! When [...]

Odaatuk was asking what sort of food I eat on my Xenical diet so I thought I would tell you all in a post as it is relevant to the journal
Breakfast - Low Fat cereal with soya milk and chopped strawberries. I usually have Optivia cereal. I used to have Special K but [...]

Urgh, I am so ill. I have had a really dry, tickly cough for a few days but otherwise felt okay. I bought some strepsils yesterday before heading to the gym, but once working out I soon realised that all was not well in camp Groovybabe.
I did try to do as much of a [...]

My mum and me, we don’t get on very well. I have just spent 10 minutes with her in the car dropping my son off at his preparation day at senior school and I am close to tears. Or it could just be that TOM showed up yesterday and I am exceptionally hormonal. Either [...]
