Wow. I knew I had lost some weight (I could feel the absence of a layer of spare tyre at the top of my stomach) but this is better than I dared hope for.

Whilst appreciating some variance on the scales is likely day to day, 11st 11lb gives me a pretty big margin for error in smashing my short term target in the first week.

For the weight to have fallen off this quickly reinforces how overweight I was. I must now be mindful though. Experience tells me that the first bit of weight loss is the easiest, the closer we get to the target weight, the harder it becomes to lose weight. So the next weigh in is unlikely to give such a spectacular result and I mustn't lose heart.

But at this stage, it is a wonderful reinforcement of what I am doing and the potential benefits. On to week 2!
