Weigh in

Well I made it, managed to leave work on time, joined the rest of the gang and went to fat club......yippee I am officially back where I started. Ok, well not quite back where I started - 4 llbs lighter. But in the whole scheme of things when you have 49 of the damn things to lose then 4 is a drop in the ocean.

So today is day 1 and sees me at 12 stone 7. (did cheat slightly and do first weight in with a jumper and full bladder - well you've got keep an emergency poundage reserve!!!)

The beginning

Well this has been a site in the making for far too long - when between sizes meant 12-14, which then became 14-16 and I almost scared to admit it, but I'm readily galloping (or should I say sloathlike) towards 16-18 - So time for action.

Have also been spurred on by the sunshine and can't face another year of feeling uncomfortable in tent like smock tops.

It's been a quick journey getting to this size, but a long journey getting back to size 12. I even have a pair of size 10 jeans in the cupboard which unbelievably I fitted into several years ago (admittedly it must have been for a brief period of time as I they look barely worn). But to go up 3 (or even4) sizes is terrible to say the least.

It all began Christmas 2007 - the other half was working away, so I occupied myself nibbling (ok I should actually say gorging) and within 9 months I'd put on 2 stone - I guess a pregnancy without the baby. I've been a habitual weight watcher member in the past and it had worked for brief glimpses. But my latest membership began in June 2008, but it has been slow progress - or even backwards progress. Which is why on Tuesday I'll be first in the queue ready to start again
