For the last month or so I've just been hovering around the same 2 pounds.  It's not a plateau...it's totally my own fault.  The only reason I haven't gained is because I've continued to work out 2-3 times a week but the diet ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/10/06/hovering/ I started on here in July and had a fantastic first month.  August started well and then started to slide.  The slide was pretty well planned.  I had a holiday and then my mum and brothers came out to visit.  I wasn't about to spoil the fun of investigating crazy ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/09/04/new-month-new-challenge/ I got back last night from the beautiful Philippines, a place called Cebu to be exact.  For those history buffs, that's the place where the natives fought the Spanish and regained their independence. The skies were blue with fluffy clouds, the sea was azure and the sand was soft and white.  ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/08/12/back-from-paradise/ Seriously!  I chopped it in half and tried to 'scoop' it out and now it's in my eye, my keyboard (yep, eating at the computer on my break, tsk tsk), my monitor and beyond.  I always thought it looked like such an elegant food to eat on TV.  Not so.  ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/08/05/how-do-you-eat-a-grapefruit/ Mission 1: Accomplished!  I reached my mini goal on weigh in today.  I'm thrilled!  I actually passed it by a pound.  Last Thursday I did the most gruelling session at fat camp.  The usual trainer was away so the owner came to instruct and show a new trainer the ropes.  He ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/08/03/can-i-get-a-whoop-whoop/ By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY VANCOUVER, B.C. — One of the largest clinical studies on keeping off the pounds after weight loss supplies more evidence that even when the battle of the bulge is won, the war is far from over. Researchers at Brown University in Providence say the safety zone around ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/07/31/weight-war-can-be-never-ending/ Week 3 is where I thought I'd unravel.  The novelty has worn off the diet and exercise and it's just normal life.  This was the week when I would decide (subconsciously) if this was the 'lifestyle change' we all long for and not the quick fix. It meant that real life ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/07/26/week-3success/ First off...I maintained this week.  I'm pretty happy with that since I lost quite a lot in week one so I guess this was a 'balancing out' week (or something?!). I see so clearly now that the weekends are my major downfall.  I didn't do badly but I could have been ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/07/21/pumping-myself-up-for-week-3/ I planned to only weigh myself once a week, on Sundays, but that's not happened.  I want to see the results of my hard work and see it now! After a really good start last week, I'm not seeing anything in the weight department this week.  I'm just hovering around the ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/07/16/signs/ My official weigh in this morning showed big losses this week, almost 7lbs in fact. Please don't get worried, I'm really not doing anything out of the ordinary.  Yes my calories are around the 1200 marker (more or less) and I'm eating every time I'm hungry.  Beginners luck I guess.  The ... http://noodle.buddyslim.com/2008/07/13/week-oneoverweight-yay/
