2007-12-19 00:25:00 Hi there and let me start by wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas! - It's nearly upon us! "You don't know how lucky you are!" was a regular put-down directed by my parents at me as I was growing up. It was a critical remark used particularly when I wanted something new, or was bored with what I was doing. Once it had passed my parents' lips, the line had been drawn and I knew a lecture would soon follow on the subject of how much we had, compared to how little they had in the earlier part of their lives. My parents were right, their generation had grown up during the war, with the real fear of air raids and the restricted diet and lifestyle associated with rationing. And the hardships suffered by their parents was greater still. With many more lifestyle choices, a higher standard of living and more disposable income, we have never had it so good and yet greater numbers are suffering serious emotional distress. It is reported tha... More About: Affluenza

Island Life
2007-12-11 19:12:00 Hi there and how goes it? I've been a busy bee again as I've been involved in the auditioning of our new recruits for GMTV's Inch Loss Island that will be hitting your screens in January. We saw people from all over the country who desperately want to lose weight and get fit. We whittled it down to four of the best who will be joining us on the island for a fun-packed, action-filled and emotional week. As yet, they still do not know the location of the island. Check out the photo of our new Inch Loss Island team. Kate Garaway will be presenting with experts Dr. Hilary, Amanda, Mark and myself. Here's a bigger one. Now, I've been thinking a bit since the fire... so, let me start off by asking you a question, (I do this a lot)Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining?Well I do.

'I have never ate with such pleasure'

She agreed to me putting her comments here on the blog and she'll be popping in to read and respond, so please, if you want to congratulate her, or otherwise - go for it.

More Anti-Health Policies from the Ministry
2007-12-04 12:07:00 The Imperial Ministry for Anti -Health has plans to increase it's reach by creating more 'Educational Moving Pictures'. Response to the initial outline of the Ministry's policies on food and exercise has resulted in substantial weight-gain worldwide. Brilliant! The Ministry plans to further elaborate it's stance with New Policies on topics such as: Bicycles (Ban them! Use motor vehicles to save energy)Dogs (No more Dogs. Free cat-for-dog-exchange = less exercise)Fruit (What is this ridiculous fascination with fruit? Let's get back to basics - like cake!) and so on... The Ministry - as ever - aims to provide Free Fast Food and Heavily Processed Foods for All, and strongly recommends a Total Ban On All Unnecessary Exercise.We'd love to receive any suggestions you have for Anti-Health Policies before we start planning the filming, so please add a comment below to make a suggestion or two If you have no idea what I'm talking about then you&#...

Burning Down The House
2007-11-30 16:40:00 You'll never guess what happened to me? My house burnt down. Ok, well maybe not 'burnt down', but I came back from filming the launch of GMTV's Inch loss island to find the inside of my house had gone up in smoke. It's really made me stand back and think to myself how lucky I am to be alive. If it had started with me in the house then I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here any more.Please send donations to... No never mind - I've got insurance!... marvelous stuff this insurance. It's amazing that there was this fire - in my house - and no-one noticed, it went out of it's own accord when it became starved of oxygen.The fact is, pretty much everything that was in the house can be replaced. It's actually quite humbling to only have the clothes on your back for a little while. It's made me realise just how much stuff I have that I don't actually need. This is the same for many people and their relationship with food as so many of us ... More About: House , General , Burning , The House , Burn

Lose Weight - Just Stand Up
2007-11-30 13:14:00 You know one of my Big Things is to try and get as much exercise as possible out of daily life... today I found some research that really backs this up. Just merely 'standing up' is better at fat-burning than sitting. The big muscles of the legs and back are not engaged whilst sitting and therefore the body's ability to deal with fat virtually shuts-down. The article suggests "Just get up and putter" - whatever that is! I'm guessing it's American for "potter"...? ABC News: "Scientists have found intriguing evidence that one major reason so many people are overweight these days may be as close as the seat of their pants. Literally.

Weight Loss Survey Results
2007-11-29 17:10:00 Thanks for taking part in the survey There's been a huge interest in the free weight loss survey so, firstly, thank you to all of you who took time to really appraise your feelings and attitudes towards losing weight. Hopefully some of you will have emerged with an understanding that you need to do some things differently in order to succeed at losing weight and keeping it off. After all, that's what my weight loss programme is all about. So far, 1296 people have taken part. Here are some summary results from the study - just the figures that really 'stand out'.

Set Goals
2007-11-28 12:20:00 How to achieve your goals Hi, I've got something for you to try:Imagine stepping out of your front door not having a clue where you want to go.Try it...I'd probably just stand there for a bit, feeling vacant and not knowing which way to turn, maybe I'd wander aimlessly round in circles a bit (if no-one was watching) before slipping stealthily back indoors (if anyone *was* watching)Now, is this a slightly mad thing to do? Maybe, yet so many of us amble through life in this way without any kind of direction or purpose. You can let life 'take care of itself' and you may well be OK; but most people would like a bit more of a guarantee that life will not only be OK - but that it will be great! So, you know that when we focus on something, we are much more likely to get it - whether it's a job, house, car, weight loss or even a relationship. By sending a message of desire to our brain, we start to make pictures of that and, in turn, we do what we have to do to mak... More About: General , Goals

TIP OF THE DAY - Make time for change
2007-11-23 15:08:00 Breaking your Habits is as easy as learning them. Walking was probably one of the first habits you mastered. Even though you didn't succeed first time, and probably fell over, you didn't give up, you kept going. Consider how many people give up trying to break a habit when something goes wrong and they go back to old ways. If we had that attitude when we where learning to walk then none of us would have got up, we would all be on the floor sucking up fluff! More About: General , Change , Time , Make

Become a change junkie
2007-11-20 20:18:00 I was in Edinburgh on Friday doing a corporate talk. It was only a flying visit but I did get a little bit of time to wander around the beautiful city. I even had a jacket potato with a haggis filling! Now I know that haggis is not everyone's cup of tea, but when in Rome...It reminded me of a saying that I'm often repeating: if you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got. In my case, I got a rather strange taste sensation, but it's important to recognise the power of doing things differently - things you wouldn't normally do. The secret to breaking a habit is learning to do something else instead. The first time you do something new or different, you're likely to feel a 'bit funny' because your brain is getting used to a new function. But once you've done something enough times, the brain starts to get used to the pattern and sets it as an auto-programme - and that's how habits are formed. Wh...

Shut The Duck Up!
2007-11-13 17:09:00 Have you heard of the phrase “We are what we eat”? Of course you have.... Well there’s another phrase that’s just as true - ”we are what we think”. In fact when all is said and done the quality of our life really just does come down to how we communicate to ourselves. You know that little voice inside your head that says “go on eat that chocolate”. Do you ever say anything like “go on have another helping, no one’s looking” or “it doesn’t matter you’ve blown it already” or “you’re stupid you won’t achieve anything”? What sort of a voice do you have going on inside your head?Let me ask you a question, what do you think stops us from being more positive? I think there's 2 reasons. Firstly being negative and giving ourselves a hard time is something we’ve practised and like anything we practise doing long enoug... More About: General , Duck , Shut

So I just wanted to 'big her up' as she's doing so well.In fact, she's LOVING it.Her goal is fairly typical, she wants to lose about 4 stone, and she's lost 12 pounds already. She's doing well, I think, because she's not making any ridiculously massive changes, she doing a bit more walking, actually a lot more walking - walking every day - for about 30 mins. And, she's eating slower, drinking water. She's feeling really good about it. This is the first time in her life that's she doing something where she feels thats shes GETTING SOMEWHERE. She's tried to lose weight for years with other weight loss programs and given up over the last few years with too many disappointments. Now she's telling me that she feels like she's In Control... she doesn't feel like she's denying herself anything. It's a funny thing... if you ... More About: General , Some
