A bit of this and a bit of that

So I spent a few days in Malta and the net effect was a gain of 2kg, which wasn’t too bad considering how much I actually ate. It’s funny how your body stocks up on food and how it uses it. Anyway, I’ve found that using TweetWhatYouEat is useful, but it hasn’t really helped me [...]

I got weighed yesterday as part of this diet study group I joined 4 months ago and it’s great to see I’ve lost a bit more weight. Not as much as I should have really. I lost 8 kg in the first 2 months and only lost 4 since then, but I’ve had a cold [...]

Well, I don’t seem to have lost any weight at all over the last 3 weeks. To tell you the truth I wasn’t really expecting to; I’ve had a cough since I was sick a few weeks ago and haven’t really been able to go to the gym at all. [...]

Here are some pointers on how you can lose some calories without trying too hard:

Be a couch potato: But make sure your TV is tuned into some great comedy. A 15-minute fit of hysterical giggling can burn up to 40 calories if you did it every day, that’s enough to shed up to 4 pounds [...]

You might have read in my previous blog posts that I’m currently on a mission to lose some weight, keeping my calories down to 1500 a day. It seems to be working well, but it also means that I’m reading more about the subject too. I came across a great post that talks about why [...]

So, it’s been around 2 months since I started my diet and today I had my official weighing. I’ve lost a total of 8 kilos so far which was a nice steady weight loss and I know I’ll be able to keep it off. The great thing is that it feels like I’ll be able [...]

So last week I posted how I had lost an entire stone on my diet in under 2 months. And to celebrate, we went out this weekend and ended up at a Chinese buffet in Ramsey. Needless to say, I can’t actually show I’ve lost an entire stone today, but I don’t even think I’ve [...]

My diet seems to be going pretty well and while checking my stats this morning, I’ve realised that I’ve dropped a whole stone (14oz). Here’s what my stats looks like:
I’m quite pleased actually, partly because I’m really losing weight, and partly because this diet is really sustainable. It’s been really impressive how I’m losing a [...]

So, I’m back from our little holiday in the UK and Italy and back on the diet. I was expecting to have gained more weight, but I only put on 1kg and I seem to have lost that over the last few days. Getting back on the diet has proved to be more challenging though, [...]

As per my previous post, we’re off on holiday for a few days. And this means that keeping my food diary is going to be a bit harder. I might actually give it a rest for a few days though I’ll be watching what I eat very closely so as not to lose all the [...]
