Oh dear, thought I’d blogged more recently than Monday. And there’s me saying how blogging helps me so much with my diet and I forget entirely to do it. Oh well, blame the lovely weather we’ve been having. I think I wrote another blog post in my head and then clean forgot to type it up.

So better late than never… I came across a really nice website the other day that gives you all the gen you need on how to follow a Paleo diet. Got pictures and everything. What I like about this site is one of the comments at the foot of the page. Scroll on down and someone is saying do Paleo at your own level. Take days off if you want, take weekends off. I LIKE the sound of that. Be a part-time Paleotarian. Read More→

It’s always great to get feedback from anyone who reads this blog. Even better when it’s face to face! On Saturday I met one of my readers in the supermarket. At first when she said, “Well done!” I looked into my shopping trolley, assuming she was referring to some item I’d bought. “No, I mean the weight loss,” she said. Till then I’d no idea she was a reader but I beamed with pride at hearing she was.

“Why don’t you write about how the blog is helping you to lose weight?” she suggested. Good idea I thanked her. I’m always trying to find ways of keeping this blog fresh and whenever someone makes a useful suggestion for what to write about next, I usually go with it. So, here’s how my blog helps me lose weight. Read More→

So yesterday I told you how I’d hit my target of losing a pound a week for seven weeks, thus taking off a further half stone. That’s a total weight loss now of 25 pounds since I began six months ago at the beginning of February. So pretty much an average loss of a pound a week. The right, healthy, amount to lose.

It was a struggle getting there. Some weeks I don’t think I lost a thing – may even have gained. It came off easily at first as it always does for anyone who’s several stone (40lbs/20 kilos) overweight. After the initial kick though, it gets tougher as any dieter will attest. But something clicked a few weeks ago and I found myself on a roll. It became easier to stick to the diet and I stopped messing about. I realised if I was gonna do this thing, I had to be serious about it. Read More→

Today I went for my seven-week weigh-in. Some may recall that seven weeks ago after a very disappointing weigh-in when I registered just one kilo/two pounds off in five weeks that I was determined to do better this time. Breakthrough the plateau. A pound a week is not an unreasonable target. It’s healthy and it should be achievable by anyone who is following a safe reducing regime of some kind. And so I set myself a target seven weeks ago of losing seven pounds at the next weigh-in.

However as I set off today, I was convinced I hadn’t made it in fact, I thought I might not have lost anything at all. Read More→
