I had another one of those epiphany moments today. I had a “Jumbo Jammy Dodger” which was 2 massive pieces of shortbread biscuit with oodles jam in the middle. Now I know this isn’t what I usually eat, but I fancied something sweet and it looked really nice. So I demolished said baked items with [...]

It’s very easy to get in the mindset that you’re the only person struggling with weight and training. You become bogged down with calories, heart rates, mileage and arranging everything around family life and work commitments.

The 38″ jeans [...]

16 stone 8.6… another pound and a half off!

This tip isn’t just a weight loss tip, it’s a time saving tip AND an energy saving tip. Instead of shallow frying your food (such as fish or chicken), get a George Foreman Grill. It takes 5 minutes to warm up and 10-12 minutes to grill a chicken breast. Not only that, all the fat [...]

Today’s weight: 16 stone 10 lbs – a total loss of 5 stone and 8 lbs.

Slowly but surely, we’re getting there.
