Slightly less fat..

When I weighed myself after our holiday last August and found I was a pound and a bit over 20 stone (280lbs) I agreed with Claire that it was time to do something. 

So we enrolled at Slimming World in Hythe. Gradually I have started to get used to eating more healthily. There is always the day, it even the hour, where I could easily eat a packet of biscuits! Or a large chocolate bar.

The results are so far pretty good. Today at the weigh in I came in with a total loss of 3st 1lb (43lbs).

It's still not easy. What is good is something the younger me would have laughed at - group support. I would have run a mile if someone had suggested such a thing.

But for someone that lacks willpower it is that little extra kick up the arse I needed and still need. 

We have a few holidays coming up. And there will be the challenge. A 2000 mile ride across Europe to the Czech Invader Rally.... folloed by a fortnight in the van with Claire and Reggie in France.
