It was blood testing again today. They are bleeding me weekly as my results are failing to impress. There’s probably a pun or two in there somewhere, bearing in mind that I’m not much good at bleeding and am therefore bleeding weakly. I’m also getting bleeding irritated at having to go in every week.
This week I managed to provide a sample after being stabbed in the arm just the twice. This is better than recent results and I’m glad to report I hardly felt a thing.
I thought I’d get weighed while I was there, as I wanted to check if I was actually losing weight or whether the slack trousers were merely an illusion.
It turns out that I have actually lost nine pounds in the last four weeks.
I’ve not used any fancy diets, and done very little exercise, just cut out bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. And cut back severely on chocolate and cakes. I’ve also started cutting down on portion sizes. Simple things, small steps, and so far it’s producing reasonable results.
Glad to hear you are seeing some results with simple diet changes! If you are looking to take a more comprehensive approach feel free to join a free Facebook wellness group that I created to promote healthy living.

Thank you – I’m going to put this into action. I’m finding it a lot harder to keep control of my eating after the initial loss. 🙂
Small, simple steps is a good way to go. You will make it! 🙂
I’m quite enthused by my initial success. 🙂
You are a Rock Star!!!
If this were true I’d have to be Meatloaf! 🙂
Congratulations on losing all those pounds!
Thank you. Only another … well, let’s say this is just a start. 🙂

Eat less and lose weight. It cannot fail.
I meant to add that this is the title and total contents of “Tom’s Little Book of Weight Loss”. It is bound to sell millions.
It deserves to sell millions, as it is a simple yet elegant solution to weight loss.
As it’s the diet I’m now following I could give you a quote for the book jacket if you like.
So true, but so difficult when faced with my human failings…
It sounds like all the things you are foregoing are the things that you love! Been there, done that you can survive it, you just learn to survive on different foods!
Thank you – I’m sure I will survive. Just have to reorder my thoughts so I admit carbs are killing me. 🙂
I’m eating lots of fruit, vegetables and All Bran for supper. No potatoes or pastry or dairy or sweet things. That also seems to be working but the lifelong problem for me is keeping it going.
Fruit, veg and fibre with a lack of sugar and carbs is my ideal too – I’m still on dairy though. I’m still moving towards it, but I’ll now use you as motivation. 🙂
