It is Five years ago, almost to the day, that I changed my eating habits. Over one weekend! On the Friday, I decided to follow a Paleo diet plan, on the Sunday I decided that I would start with a month of the Whole30. By Monday morning, the pantry was empty of all non-paleo foods …

Paleo Weight-loss: Back to Basics
A new start. Here I am, 18 months after my hip replacement operation. I’m about 95% back to full strength and feel that the time is right to set about losing the remainder of my excess weight.
How to lose 100lbs – going through a rocky patch
Does my bum look big in this? (such an odd shaped shadow). The sky was blue, the sun was warm, but when we got to the beach the wind was bitterly ice cold so I was glad of the old fleece jacket I keep in the car for such occasions. It’s only four sizes too …

This is my mum’s roast chicken, I don’t always use this method but I love the way it creates …
My Paleo Diet – Introduction

My first impression of Paleo had been of a diet where you could eat lots of indulgent cakes and bakes, all day, as long as they were made out of super expensive* ‘Paleo’ ingredients, and (Abracadabra!) you would lose …
How to lose 100lbs – part 2
When I first had the idea to start this blog I expected to write a lot about my weight-loss process. I thought that I would tell you the week by week story, so that you could follow along as it happened. Apparently when you write a weight loss diary you need to tell your readers …
How to lose 100lbs
My Story – the beginning Like many weight loss stories, mine is a story of many ‘ups’ and several ‘downs’. I struggled with my weight as a teenager, got it under control when at university… slipped a little… sorted myself out again, and then succeeded in getting down to a UK size 10/12 by the …
