Curiouser and curiouser.......not totally sure what is going on here, but if the scales are to be believed, I have gone from 17 stone 2.6 pounds, to 16 stone 12.4 pounds. This is a rounding-up loss of 5 pounds, and an actual loss of 4.2 pounds. Go figure.......
Without doubt, this is great news, but I am not totally convinced that there has been consistency over the last few weeks weigh-ins. Either last week's was wrong going too high, or this week's is going too low. I did expect to lose some weight, but nowhere near this amount. Possibly the build-up to the weigh in is significant; last Tuesday was a particularly lazy day with no exercise, whereas this week was a good hour on the Wii Fit (I did have a badminton match, but it was cancelled). It is still a surprise, especially considering the trip to TGI Fridays I made on Saturday night (maybe chicken fajitas aren't quite as unhealthy as I thought).
Next week will be the clincher. If I have a good week, and am in the 16 stone somethings I can be more confident in the reading, if I am back up to 17 stone plus, it may be time to buy a new set of scales!
And no, this is not just a procrastination to get my running shoes on and start my training.....honest!! I promise that if next Tuesday ties-in with yesterday, I will start the slogging; and much to a certain persons relief I will be ditching the banner picture in favour of one much more in-keeping with the situation!
The bottom line is, weight has been lost; and that is what I am here to do; YAY!
WELCOME
Hello there everyone, and welcome to my blog (hats off to 'Blogging for Dummies' for teaching this dummy how to....you know!).
I am overweight; make that very overweight. I think the technical term is 'morbidly obese'....ouch! Over the last few years I have had a few health warning shots, enough to make me realise that although there is nothing going on with my health that can't be reversed; my time is running out to do something about it before something really bad happens.
So this is my journey to health, and the plan is an ambitious one. I want to lose weight, and I want to get fitter; fit enough to run the Manchester 10k in May of 2012, fit enough to run a half marathon towards the end of 2012, and then fit enough to run the London Marathon in 2013, where the blogging journey will end at the finish line down the Mall.
I write this in the hope that the words and thoughts of both myself and readers can inspire me when the journey gets difficult, then hopefully people can be inspired by my story; believing that the most difficult journey is possible.
I make a promise to you that I will be honest - if the wheels fall off and I have six pizzas in two days, I will come clean - and I will do my very best. Share it with me.
......Wish me luck!!

Great news ... and I guess just shows that it's the overall trend that matters, and too much analysis on the weekly weigh-ins is not necessarily helpful. But ... all credit to you ... you observed an apparent levelling off, and you used that to reinvigorate your efforts, and to take stock (chicken or veg?). That sort of approach is one of true champions, and I'm v. proud of you!
Yes ... am very definitely looking forward to seeing the back of the chips!
I can save the thought on input-output for the next plateau since this one has been v. short-lived!
Hats off to you ...

Never even knew you wore a hat! Yep, well chuffed my dear. This weekend is going to be tricky. Works Christmas do tomorrow night, followed by badminton Christmas do on Saturday (party animal or what?!!). Trying to do a bit on the Wii-fit (hey, I'm a poet and I don't....you know) in anticipation.
Thanks again my dear, and don't stop reading!
