A place to find some helpful tips on weight loss. I think I have tried every weight loss tip out there, some work, some don't. Although I thing all work in some way, just some are better than others. This blog is about tips I have found that may help keep the weight off.

50kg & Need To Lose Weight! Oh Come On.
Don't you just hate it when a skinny person says that they need to lose weight.
Mean while they are hitching up their size 8 denim jeans. (I wish), if only I could get to a size 12.
I am working with this young English backpacker at the moment, yer, totally way to thin but just the other day she came out with "Started my diet today."
Well, my mouth dropped open. "what do you mean a diet? You need a belt for your pants now."
Why do skinny people say such stupid things, maybe they need to lose 2 kilos. Oh my God, stop the train. That's devastating, a whole 2 kilos.
Why would you even bother bringing it up.
Do these people say things like this just to here "No, you don't need to lose weight, you look great as you are."
Of course they do, I think it's an ego trip.
I also have come to a decision that I am not going clothes shopping with any of my skinny friends again. It is way to humiliating, watching them try on some slinky, size 10 top and have them say "No, I don't think it fits right." (Totally looks awesome)
Then I try on a shirt, there is no way I am going to even step out of the dressing room to show her. Size 14 is just a bit tight, don't even bother asking for the next size, shame.
What do you think? Do you agree?

Indulgence of Chocolate at Easter
Hey everyone, just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter. The only time of year that it feels alright to eat chocolate and boy, am I going to eat it - a lot.
At the moment I am not going to think about my weight issues, I will worry about that again on Easter Monday. Back in fighting, yer same old routine day in day out, constantly battling the bulge.
But as of now I am totally only thinking about one thing and that is chocolate, my favourite food of all time, along with cheesecake.
The best chocolate is Lindt and Cadburys, the cheaper brands just don't cut it when it comes to smoothness, you now the type, when you can place a small piece in your mouth and just let it melt, don't chew it just let it dissolve on its own. Cheaper brands tend to have a funny taste about them, perhaps its just me, I like quality when it comes to chocolate.
We all know that dark chocolate is better for us. Above 70% cocoa is recommended. I'll try and have some (lol).
HAPPY EASTER...........HAPPY HUNTING.........

Over Weight- I Give Up
Yer, that's how I feel right about now.
I was totally feeling great because I had lost over 1kg in the last week.
On top of the world and nothing could stop me. But oh how things change, suddenly the 1kg is back and my spirits have just been smashed, all that hard work gone, just like that, just like you flicked the light off.
I totally am over trying to keep weight off, it really gets me down, forever worrying about what to eat, what not to eat. OVER IT.......
Perhaps I'm just feeling a bit low because I am full of the flu, coughing, sneezing, aching all over, runny nose, you name it I've got it.
I'll pop another pill and see how I go tomorrow, those pills seem to make everything seem better. (Give me more).

Wii Fit - My Answer To Exercise
I have it, The WII Fit. My daughter gave it to me for my birthday. Totally loving it.
I have lost 1.7kg since starting. I try and do a workout - step aerobics, hula hoops, cycling and then finish off with Michael Jackson dancing. I totally feel great after doing it. I did nearly 1000 steps in one session of 8mins on the step board. Suppose to tone up the butt area, in my case, something that really needs a lot of work.
I have weighed myself every morning at 6.30am and put in that I want to lose 5kg in two months, can't rush these things. So lets see how I do, oh I must tell you that I have been doing other exercise as well, not much, but I am totally trying to do 10,000 steps a day. I made 12,000 the other day after doing the step aerobics.
With the winter months approaching fast, I really need to get some weight off, so I have room to move through those cold months, you know what it's like, the smell of hot food and you tend to eat more, lots more. Not that I want to put any on at all but it is a known fact that we all tend to gain a pound here or there during winter.
