It always amuses me when I see someone else who has blatantly had some work done on the telly, it stands out a mile when you see someone every day or every week on some show and then they turn up looking 10 years younger that they have had some botox cometic Scottsdale work done.
Yet most of them deny it, I am not sure why – if I ever decided to get some work done I’d be loud and proud about it. If you get it done you surely want people to notice you are looking better, younger, more attractive – right?
So why deny it? Just come out and say – hey look at me, looking fiiiiine right?
There must be a lot of pressure on TV personalities to look a certain way though, it can be tough on us mere mortals, it must be 10 times worse for them.
My dear husband used to have to go to specialist shops to buy large menswear as he is very tall (which is amusing to most people as I am very short, we do look rather odd as a couple!) and at one stage but on quite a bit of weight.
He’s now lost the excess weight and is back to being the skinny boy I met all those years ago. I am very proud of him, but also annoyed and jealous at how quickly he was dropping the weight – he was losing in a week what it took me 2 months to lose.
The main things he did was simply cut out alcohol and excess salt, he also did at least 30 minutes of exercise per day.
Now he can shop at regular shops again (although he still struggled to get pants that fit his long legs!) and is looking as hot as ever 
I am so happy, the Husband has decided he’s going to start coming jogging with me — and I think he actually means it this time because earlier he was on a site looking at their Nike SB shoes range.
t have any decent footwear as his excuse not to come with me. Well actually that’s one of many excuses he has!
I don’t know if he actually ordered any or not, I don’t think so — but it is very promising that he was even looking.
Yay for me having a jogging buddy, and not just any jogging buddy — my gorgeous husband
This time three years ago I weighed more than I ever have before in my adult life, I was a whopping 15 stone and 10 pounds, that’s 210 pounds — and I am only 5 foot tall — I was biiiiig.
I am currently weighing in at 9 stone 11 pounds and am well on my way to getting to my goal weight.
I have lost the weight the slow and sensible way. I work out 5 days a week and consume around 1400 calories a day. It can be really frustrating losing it this way, because I can go literally months without losing any thing — but I also think it’s the most sensible way to do it because it’s a sustainable life style change. I have no fears that I will suddenly come off the ‘diet’ and pile all the weight back on.
I give myself mini goals as they help keep me motivated, my next mini goal is 9.2 pounds — this will put me in the same stone as I was 5 years ago when the husband and I got together and it will mean I am no longer in the Obese BMI category.
I am unsure of my main goal weight — according to statistics my ideal weight is around 7 stone 7 pounds but that seems insane to me, I think I will be happy at about 9 stone 9 pounds but I guess I just have to get there and wait and see how I feel.
Yeah, that new work out DVD I got certainly gives you a work out — I am embarrassed to admit I didn’t even finish it because it totally killed me, but as it was my first time I think that’s OK, I am sure I will get better at it as time goes on and I use it more.
It was hard going…as in..there’s a lot of actual dance moves in it that you have to learn and my coordination and balance are not my best abilities!
I hurt today though, every muscle aches and as bothersome as that is…I know it means I was working muscles I don’t usually work so it’s all good
