Whooo hooo, 2lbs down

Seems I spoke too soon. Week five = -2lbs! Very pleased, especially considering how I've felt all week. So that makes 9lbs loss in 5 weeks. Not bad!

I came across an old spreadsheet that we created in October 2008 to try and help us lose weight and was shocked to see that I was 17st10lbs then, so I've got just under a stone to lose to even get back to that weight. That was just after our wedding day and whilst I felt absolutely beautiful that day, there are some pictures I look at that make me feel so sad wondering why I didn't try to lose some weight before my big day. This one in particular I regret as it's a wonderful picture and I just look gigantic in it.

It's OK though, this is my motivating factor. I don't want to look back on pictures like this and feel sad, I want to work hard over the next few years and look back and feel proud of who I am and what I made myself become. The last few weeks have shown me that this is not going to be quick, it's not going to be easy and I will have blips but eventually the hard work will pay off and the end result will be something like this again -
