  • Had my first compliment from someone other than my wife this weekend. My wife and I are doing this together and so encouragement from her means a lot to me. But for a friend to comment too- that's a really good feeling.
  • I haven't had a bucket of chicken for over 3 years, could have quite easily ignored the sign until very recently. There's a part of me which feels the need to binge. So I'll fight for as long as I can, and if I do cave hopefully it'll be far less enjoyable than I think it's going to be.

What is clear is that your husband considers your decision to be healthy as some sort…
  • That's great man!
  • It is - but really looking forward to revisting clothes I haven't been able to wear for years (but held on to 'just in case I lose some weight'). BMI under 30 is my first real milestone, but these little boosts will keep me going in the meantime!
  • Well done! That's my first goal too. :-)
  • As hard as it is to do, I find it is best to only weight myself once a week, the same time on the same day. That's because weight does fluctuate daily. First thing on a Monday morning for me. Good luck! :-)
