Weight loss – week 4

I’ll start with my weigh in from last week. I lost half a pound. Not great, but better off than on.  Sticking to my plan hasn’t gone so well this week, in fact over the weekend it was a total write off.

There is a large car park, although I didn’t realise the Centre is very near to Edgbaston cricket ground, …

Weight loss – week 3

So I’m on to week 3 of my new weight loss regime and joining up with other bloggers, on the quest to finally become a yummy yummy!  First, my loss from last week (I weighed in on Saturday, but will update in this post every week) was 0.8 lbs – my goal for the week was 1 lb so I nearly made it. I’ve aimed for another 1 lb loss this week too.  My exercise aim for this week was to exercise at least 3 times, which would hopefully help get the weight off. Well, as I said before, I’m …
