Time to say goodbye

When I started this blog, I thought that it would help my weight loss, after all, I only had 10 kilograms to lose, that should take 3-6 months and then I'd be onto maintenance. How I was wrong. About a year ago, I started gaining, I really don't know why, but maybe my girlfriends resistance towards my losing weight was one of the factors. Maybe. Then I got burgled, which caused more problems in terms of stress and taking away the source of immediate feedback: my graphs on my laptop.

So here I am, almost 20 kilograms over my goal weight, almost double what I started with. Weight loss blogging is a good idea - I have no doubts on that, just that if you are having problems, it probably won't solve them. It is good for writing down how you feel about weight loss, the problems and solutions though.

Anyway, here is what I have learnt through this blog and other sources:

Motivation is the key means far beyond all others

Being slim and eating well is not enough motivation for most people to be successful

A physical, high value thing (such as a new camera, trip overseas etc) is the best motivation in my opinion

Protein really removes appetite for about 3 hours

Having a sleep for a few hours can reduce appetite for about 4 hours

Sugar and bread and related foods increase appetite dramatically

Stress is by far the biggest factor in weight gain

I still intend to lose weight, as I still intend to get the camera. I have a new blog now, totally different though. Simplistic, posting daily, writing about how I feel about my weight loss and stress daily I hope will help things.

Thank you for all those who have left comments on this blog, and for those who simply moved up the counter by one.

Good luck with all of you in your weight loss, I'll still read your blogs and celebrate with you when you reach goal.

I’m sorry that you are leaving and you’re right. Stress does hinder weight loss. Good luck to you.

Hola, I´m typing from Spain and since I moved here from the UK the weight has piled on (7 kilos in 2 years). CafĂ© life here involves biscuits with the coffee and peanuts or olives with the drinks. I used to send them back at first, then gave in. Now my boyfriend and I are gonna go on a bread-free diet and up our intake of oily fish dramatically. Oh and just grill all our veg without oil. Plan to lose 7 kilos each. I fill up in the morning on orange juice from oranges he scrumps in gardens where he works. I think we go AWOL when he gets home from work: we go out for a coffee then end up eating tapas and drinking beer! Should I be porky and contenta or skinny and careful?

Another important factor that judges your selection of watches is your budget. By definition of a casual watch, people do prefer buying something cheaper than more expensive antique or luxury watches. Something that is rough and tough and can be used daily as a time keeper. This means these can be generally sporty looking watches or even those plain gold plated or silver plated watches that can be worn daily. These are also usually battery operated rather than automatic watches. And if you want to speak about the dials, casual watches would necessarily have simpler dials with numbers rather than roman numerical which you can find on antique watches.
However, to get an idea of the cost if it needs to be replaced I searched on eBay. After all, you can buy anything on eBay can't you? I found a few used ones on eBay priced at £300. However, as I read down the description, most of them had exactly the same problem as mine - 'This unit has been removed as it leaked oil and the seals are split.'

Xbox Live comes in two flavors, Silver and
Gold, but regardless of which you choose, you can integrate it with Windows
Live Messenger. Before you log onto Facebook to change your status to something about how you got reamed
by Microsoft on Christmas, you need to visit and give our
Godsend of a generator a click and get your free xbox live codes.
Whatever it may be, it's definitely working right now, so if you want to take advantage of it, now is the time.
