Image by Myriams-Fotos from Pixabay The last time I posted, I’d recently seen the number 5 on the scales. The next time I weighed myself, I was back up to 13st 8¼lb. This is the kind of thing that happens all the time. I’m not so much a yo-yo dieter as I am a yo-yo weigher. I... Continue Reading →

The trouble was, I've not weighed myself since and that was midweek, so it could be anything by now. I didn't eat a... Continue Reading →

I went AWOL

Image by Jill Wellington from Pixabay Oops, I seem to have skipped a couple of weeks. I think I know why that happened. In the first week, my weight plateaued.

7lb loss!

Image by Artturi Mäntysaari from Pixabay Friday seems to be weigh-in day for me. I can't remember how that happened. I always start my slimming journeys on a Monday and when I joined a Slimming World class, we met on a Thursday. So I don't know how my weigh-in day became Friday. Anyway, I weighed in at 13st...

some movement

Image by Дарья Яковлева from Pixabay I started my yoga class this week, bright and early on Monday morning.

starting over

Image by Leopictures from Pixabay I started this blog back in November 2020 with a view to ditching all diets and I refused point blank to fund the diet industry for a moment longer. I thought the only way that I would lose weight was to forget dieting and just eat three regular, balanced meals a day with... Continue Reading →
