The early unravellment of the Cunning Plan

Four weeks into my weight loss programme and I have had a significantish gain.
Why?  Well, much as I would love to blame it on water retention or the vaguaries of the menstrual cycle and its effects on the female form, the simple fact is that this week I have eaten too much.
I have been eating [...]

Another year, another Cunning Plan

It’s January.  That must mean I have decided to have a(nother) go at shifting the extra weight I have been carrying around for the past three or four years.  This year’s method of choice is the WeightWatchers Core Plan, which involves eating lots of fruit, veg, lean meat, whole grains and low fat dairy.  It’s all [...]

Weigh In

Good grief, has it really been so long since I last posted?  Time is running away from me at the moment.
I was too embarrassed to come on here and tell you all that I gained 2½ lbs last week, but I have lost them again now (those pesky pounds, they are always coming and going) [...]

Weigh In

Hurrah hurrah hurrah I have lost my first stone (that’s a competely arbitrary and non-celebratory 14lbs for anyone in America).
It has taken 9 weeks which is rather a long time to take to lose a first stone when you have as much to lose as I do, but nevertheless I am very pleased to have hit [...]

Weigh In

Another 2½lbs off this week
I’m delighted as I wasn’t expecting as much as that.  I weighed myself on my bathroom scales before going to weigh-in to get an idea of what was coming and they showed a loss of a pound.  That disappointed me as I had been eating properly all week and [...]

Weigh In

4½ lbs off this week
Obviously I’m delighted with that – only another pound and I’ll be back to where I was two weeks ago…
I feel much better for it – not as bloated and swollen and clothes are starting to feel looser now.  I’m getting plenty of exercise too.  All the running backwards [...]

Today I will mostly be smiling through a deluge of self pitying tears… (aka this week’s Weigh In)

I put on 5½lb last week – I knew I had put a bit of weight back on but that number shocked me almost into a stunned silence.  I didn’t think it was possible to put on that much weight in just seven days.  I’m putting it down to a combination of things – a week [...]

Weigh In

Another 2½ lbs off last week.  11½ lbs in total.
I’m not expecting to lose much this week, if anything at all.  Illness meant that my appetite was virtually nil for most of last week and now it’s back with a vengance so I don’t think that my system will cope with the starvation followed by [...]

Size 0

With the start of London Fashion Week on Saturday, the issue of the size and health of models has raised its head again.  Body size is an emotive issue for me as I have always struggled to keep mine down to something healthy and I am constantly battling against my huge appetite and sweet tooth.
I [...]

Weigh in

Another 2½ lbs off
That’s a total of 9lb in 3 weeks.
It’s been hard going some days but worth it to see the results on the scales.  i don’t look any different yet, but that will come…
We did Salsacise last night, it was lots of fun and a nice change from aerobics.  I just [...]
