I tried my dress on Tuesday and it fitted! No gaps to be seen anywhere, and it wasn't lumpy or bumpy despite only being laced up on every other loop due to time constrictions. It's such a buzz to know I've managed to do what I set out to a year ago. I've not reached the end of the road yet though, I'm still technically a stone overweight...

Well then, let me introduce myself. I'm 5'8", hovering around the 13st mark, a size 14, a food teacher at a secondary school and in my early twenties. Since I got engaged last Summer I have been dwelling on the size I will be when I walk down the aisle next August. I am almost the typical yo-yo dieter. Age 17 I was 16st 6lb and a size 18...

Starting weight: 97kg (15 stone 4 lbs) Weight today: 94.3kg (14 stone 12 lbs) Total loss: 2.7kg (6 lbs) This means that in the last week, i've lost 2.2kg (about 4 lbs 13 oz). I'm really quite happy about this, but it has been damn hard work. Can I keep up the same level of activity week in, week out? Can I resist the urge to pig out and order...

Good morning fellow bloggers Today is the start of my healthy eating, I am one of those many people who eat healthy breakfast but then find something sweet and tempting at lunch and then say 'I will start eating properly tomorrow'. By the time I know it, it has been 4 weeks of eating rubbish and pretending my healthy mission has started. But...

Hi All I weighed in this week, I lost 2lbs, I am satisfied that I lost this weight but I am sooo disappointed in myself as I think I missed an opportunity to lose more weight. I was not good last week with exercise at home, I went on that bike twice if I was lucky! I managed to fit in another little walk at lunchtime at work so this is taking my daily...

I am getting so sick of this shi... err... stuff (are we allowed to swear on here?). Yet again, I managed to have a good week, eating well, going to the gym loads, on top of things - then totally blew it for 2-3 days over the weekend. As a result, I've put on a pound, though probably deserve more. It's not so much the lack of downward progress...

Back up to 10st4lb this week and very frustrated. I've been weak-willed, I've drunk too much, I've eaten way more cakes, sweets and ice-cream than is good for me, and I'm not a bit surprised that I've bounced back up. I also had a really busy time last week, and didn't manage to do as much exercise as I wanted. There are only...

Out of nowhere, 3 pounds have just vanished! This morning the scales read a pleasing 10st 1lb, leading to a happy dance around the room and a very satisfying downward dip on my weight chart after seemingly weeks of stasis. It certainly feels like everything is moving at last. I'm seeing definite changes in my body shape - muscles becoming more defined...

So, this week I have lost a phenomenal 6lbs! However, this is not cause for celebration - it's just the bloat/red-wine-and-baguette weight I put on while in France last week (regular readers may remember that I seemed to put on 10lbs in 4 days!). I'm just about back to where I was before I went away - 10st4lb, still a stone away from goal -...

Had my monthly personal training session 10 days ago and was delighted to find that I have lost another 2lbs. Brilliant! 2 lbs more (or is is less...?!) and I will be down to 12 stone, which was where I was 18 months ago. At that time the plan was to try to lose another half or one stone, but instead of going down, I just got complacent and went up...

I am 27 years old and a mom to my 3 year old Daughter. As a child and teenager I was blessed with what some people would call a perfect figure (although I never appreciated it at the time). I was tall and very slim. Just before my 18th birthday four friends were killed in a tragic car accident and this started my rollercoaster of emotional eating. I...

Hey all, I was feeling a bit disappointed the other day because I was at a stand still with my weight. In the last two weeks, especially with it being Easter, I had slacked off a bit and been eating things like popcorn, cake, some of my son's cream egg and other things I dare not mention. I was working out as usual and because I was on holiday and...

Hello all, it's been a few days and I am back on track. I had a bit of a disappointing week only because I ate foods that I wasn't used to eating such as pastries and pasta in the evening. It made me feel bloated and I also put on a couple of pounds. Well I am now paying attention to my body and what it needs and doesn't need. I went to...

...Writing a blog that is! Okay, I'm Amy. I'm almost 24; I'm 5 feet 2 inches tall and (insert sharp intake of breath here) hovering around 18 stone. I don't really have any excuses for this, basically I love food and I don't exercise enough but on the other hand I don't see myself as fat. Don't get me wrong I'm under...

I want a cheese sandwich. I always want a cheese sandwich. Five weeks I've been on this diet, and every day I've been distracted by fantasies about delicious, filthy grub. Burgers! Chips! Curry! Mayonnaise! Lager! Chocolate! Fried chicken! More curry! And most of all, cheese butties. From the moment I wake up to the time I fall asleep, I'm...
