Plateau :(

Eggh! So for the last 3 weeks I haven’t lost a single thing… 207.4, 207.4, 207.7 it’s all very frustrating, especially as I’ve been doing more exercise; going to the gym 4+ times a week, doing taekwondo twice a week and also being perpetually late for seminars and thus having to power walk for 15 [...]

New scales… of DOOM!

Yeah, I thought new scales would be a nice thing. They’d be pretty and shiny and just generally lovely.
My beautiful, Evil scales of Doom
That is not the case when you discover that your old scales are out by possibly as much as 1/2 a stone…. that means I’m about 7lbs heavier than I thought I [...]

Whoops, an unintentional hiatus….

So. Long time, no blog. No excuse, fortunately though just because I stopped blogging doesn’t mean I’ve stopped exercising and loosing weight
According to the NHS BMI calculator I have just dropped from being obese to only overweight with a BMI of 29.9 This is all dependent  on my height however - if [...]

Week 6: Weight

Whoo! I’m now in the 220, the 30’s are behind me. Actually I’m pretty much exactly 10lbs down from my start weight.
228.4 = 1.8lbs loss
Happy happy me. It’s strange as I had a bad knee last week so the only exercise I really did was swimming three times a week. However, I did [...]

Weight: Week 5

So, I have lost an increadible…… 0.2lbs this week. Well a loss is a loss!
Seriously, I need to get new scales. They was fluctuating between 230.4, 230.2 and 29.8. As it settled most often on 230.2, that what I’m going with.

I’m feeling materialistic and vaucous….

…. so I thought I would make a list of all the places I want to be able to shop, that I can’t currently because a. they don’t do my size and b. because as none of the clothes fit me I feel self-concious going in to buy accessories which are none size specific.
For that [...]

Swimming goal - 80 lenghts in under a hour

I’ve started attending the ‘early risers’ swimming at my local pool and I’m working on getting my lengths in. When I was at school I was on the swimming team, even though I wasn’t at all skinny (this might explain why our swimming teams wasn’t so great…) however I was quite able to do 100 [...]

Weigh Day

Hardly had the heart for it, but I weighed myself to day. Still convinced I need new scales. Apparently I weigh
230.4lbs…. also 16.6st = 232… see the problem?
So that’s a little less than 4 or 6 pounds lost in a week. If that is actually the case I’m a little concerned. Though as an overview [...]

Once again gained weight

I’m really glad I measured myself in inches last night otherwise I’m sure I would be feeling increadibly disheartened rather than just irritated. I’m now up to 236.2…. blergh. Seriously thinking of investing in one of the frighteningly clever scales which can measure not just weight but fat, muscle and water.

Waist, Hip and Thigh Shrinkage :D

I’m back from my jaunt to Wales. I did a fair number of paintings and I’m rather pleased to discover that landscapes are not nearly as hard as I first thought they would be. In an effort to get some lovely views my sister and I walked up and down hills (though I mainly remember [...]
