Just finished my chat with Anna and feel so much better for it. ‘Scalesgate’ has been fully discussed and fortunately it’s been decided that I can go with my weight before my recalibrating moment of madness. It’s amazing how much those extra pounds on paper have made me doubt my weight loss, even though the [...]

Miniature disaster

Ok, here’s some really solid advice – DO NOT recalibrate your scales BEFORE you weigh yourself, or at all for that matter, if you’re on an eight week plan. It confuses everything. I have absolutely no idea if I’ve lost, put on or stayed the same! Goodness knows why I did it, but I reset [...]
‘Crouton’ is now a four letter word

3lbs off this week so, once again, although it’s a fair loss, I’ve fallen 1lb short of my goal. It’s been an odd week in terms of how my body has reacted to food. I haven’t felt like eating anything all week – I’m hungry, but food doesn’t appeal, even the processed food I used [...]
Deja vu?

So after negotiating celebrations, business lunches and all round temptation, I’ve shaved off 4lbs, which takes me right back to my pre-Glastonbury weight. Mixed bag of emotions for this one – obviously 4lbs is a great achievement and Anna rightly questioned why I merely sounded content with the loss. Thinking about it, I suppose it’s [...]
Extra motivation

I’m feeling very pleased with myself after successfully negotiating last night’s birthday celebrations. Luckily the organiser had asked us to pre-order our meals from a set menu earlier in the week, so I knew exactly what was coming up. In fact, it worked so well that I’m going to make a real effort to check [...]
Music, sunshine and extra baggage

Ok, let’s get this over with. I put on 4lbs at Glastonbury. And even though that is one mahoosive set back in the overall weight-loss big picture, I’m actually ok with it because there was very, very little opportunity to stick faithfully to the plan while I was there. I did pretty much everything I [...]
Three down, 15 to go!

So 3 ¼ lbs off in just under a week! Had a good chat with Anna, who was very motivating. She reminded me I could email or text any time if I had any queries during the week, so that’s good. The main topic of conversation this week was Glastonbury. Next week I’m going be [...]
And so it begins…

Ok, I’ll be honest, I’m not very good at sticking to things. Which is why I’m a little apprehensive having just signed up for an eight-week program to lose a large proportion of beef. Eighteen whole pounds of beef, to be exact. That’s a lot of cow (so to speak). Anna is very supportive though [...]
