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 [...]

I am in such a fowl mood today, and lately actually, I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am fast losing what I consider myself to have, a laid-back nature. I feel like a yo-yo; one minute down, then up, then down… I guess I will get over it.
I have not let [...]

I think I mentioned a few days ago that I was doing WLR again. I have tried other programmes including fitday, sparkpeople, mynetdiarty, weightwatchers etc but WLR is by far the best. It has a simple interface and most importantly has a database of English foods. It is not the most extensive programme but [...]

I didn’t manage to stay away from the kitchen in the night, but I did try. The fact that the first two times I made myself get a drink only tells me this is a conscious thing. The third time I woke up I had some of my natural greek yogurt with honey (not [...]

I ate really badly last night throughout the night but when I woke up this morning I felt nauseous, I had the pre-sick water thing in my mouth, so I didn’t eat a thing until 2pm. I have just logged up my calories on this fantastic new site: www.mynetdiary.com and it has come up [...]

I did well yesterday. I had 1446 calories by the time I went to bed, and with 90 mins walking and a weights session under my belt I thought I was doing quite well. I was asleep two hours, woke up half asleep and made myself a cheese sandwich. At about 4am I sleepily [...]

Today is Monday and I feel more motivated than I have in a long long time. I think this has come from seeing myself in the mirror when I was getting ready to go out on Saturday evening and feeling so rubbish about my 9lb weight gain. It is really showing on my waistline. [...]

I want to give a huge shoutout to John is Fit who has dedicated a post to lil big old me. He is pretty cool too. Our dedications have been quoted as being similar by others so it is always interesting to have a read of his blog. You should all check him out.

I made a deal with myself to blog every day but I am running thin on things to talk about today (mainly due to the diet going well - yay) so I thought I would focus on websites that help me. Maybe they’ll help you too?
www.weightlossresources.co.uk - this is a diet and exercise database [...]

Exercise - 3x workout at the gym.
Drinks - 2litres of water per day.
Food - under 1470 calories per day; log everything into WLR.
Diary - write in here everyday.
Sleep -to get my sleeing pattern back to normal.

A few guidelines for myself. I need to nip this attitude to dieting in the bud and get back on [...]
