Number 32 - and this time it's serious

On Saturday came the news I'd been waiting for, a text from Sarah, my amazing friend, running partner and my very own will power on legs, it said

"Have been having a big think.....Have decided that 2day is the last day of obesity.  Am on the sale at 9.15 tomorrow, care 2 join me?

Well other than the fact that I needed to postpone it til today the answer was a resounding YES.

I have been utterly inspired by the amazing weight loss of my sister Arline and great friend Janie and it's time!  I've got a size 10 dress to get into.

Sarah is quite simply the best weight loss programme I have ever encountered.  Together we are unstoppable strict, supportive and up for a giggle.

So today I appeared on her doorstep at 9.15 ready for the weigh in.  I think it is enough to say that I weigh -- stone 13.5 lbs (feel free to fill in the blanks but you don't need to tell me what you think!) and I am at the upper end of a size 14.  We're aiming to have lost a stone by Christmas and if I exercise I would like to think that I could drop a dress size too.

  

me (!) If you fast forward 2 months :-)

So, today is the first day of the new me, best stock up on ryvita and satsumas.  Watch this space for an update on the incredible shrinking woman.
