* Bah!

* Actually if I look at the small print, I did lose some weight, just not enough to shift me down to the next pound.

* It had crossd my mind that I may be reaching the limit of weight loss with my currect exercise regime. A 40ish minute walk is good for general health but I am not upping my heart rate and really getting the lungs working in the say way as I do by, say, jogging. There are alternatives of course but each presents a problem of implementation trying to fit them in around my little monsters.

* It is disappointing to an extent not to have dropped any further weight. I have been declining biscuits and sweets etc and if no weight is coming off, it can be tempting to ask yourself what's the point. Of course the point is that I feel much better.

* And that seems like a good point at which to leave this blog again for now. Two months in and I have lost 12lbs, leaving me just 3lbs above my short term weight target and 6lbs away from my medium term target. The most pleasing thing is that I have proved to myself that I can do it. This isn't a faddy diet, I am eating all the same things I did before, just being sensible with portions, eliminating unnecessary snacking and playing with conventions of when we 'should' eat certain foods.

* And to all of you who have been reading along; to the special lady in Wales; to my regular visitor in Worcester park; to the guy who logs in at 3 in the morning... thank you. Your support has helped keep me motivated to carry on.
