Hi Everybuddy

Well, hello there.

OK, so I need to lose 100lbs (at least). It is not the first time I have tried to reduce my weight but it is the first time I have had such a strong incentive as I have this time.

I have made a commitment to run a marathon to raise money for SENSE. No time limit but I would love to be ready for the FLM in 2010. For those who don't know, SENSE is a charity which helps and supports people who are deaf and blind. I I can't think of anything worse than to be shut in your own private world 24 hours a day..every single day. The aim is to raise as much over £1000 as I can, (hopefully way over).

But first, I need to get fit so that is why I am here. I have had a look around and I think this looks like a site where I can get positive about reaching my targets and so I have a new motto.

This time, I WILL make it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for being so long winded but it is important to me that when I look back at today's post..the starting point for me I know what my aims were when I wrote them..hope that makes sense.

Good Luck to all with your own challenges.

Watch this space !!!!!!!!!!!!!
