...and down 27 lbs - almost 2 stone - and around 26% of my goal.

It's been a tough few years, what with infertility treatment & miscarriages, divorce, dads illness & death, nephews leukaemia, so the weight had rather piled on over time. I went on a business trip to Paris - got back 10 weeks ago yesterday. I weighed 244.5 lbs the next morning.

However, something had clicked in my head - not sure what, but it was like a fog had lifted. I found an app for my phone - called myfitnesspal so decided to start logging my diet. Exercise so far has been using my xbox/kinect - first just games but I'm now doing Zumba. Next is to join a gym - I checked it out last weekend.

Oh and my resting heart-rate has gone from 65-70 a minute to 44.... amazing!

    So I dropped below 200lbs this morning, for a total of 45lbs lost :) - currently the middle of week 18.
    It's been a while since I've been this low - onward and downward!
