End of month 2

I can hardly believe that I have been doing this for two months already. Two months and two stones (well, two stones 1.5lb to be precise).

I have an amazing 43 sponsors, two of which are a direct result of the article in the newspaper (so it was worth it) and several who are friends of my dear father who have no doubt been pestered into sponsoring me - an extra thank you to them. Current total stands at just over £730.

This month has been much calmer than last. For a start we have had fewer social events which has helped but I am also more used to saying no!!

I am starting to really notice a difference. I have dropped almost two dress sizes now and have been clearing out clothes like mad. Fortunately a good friend is also dieting and is several sizes ahead of me and has loaned me some trousers - it seems such a waste to buy clothes when you are going to spend such a short amount of time in them. Graham has also managed to drop a size which is just as well as I am now wearing his jeans!!

Starting to think about Christmas now - if you are stuck for cards Cancer Research has a fantastic selection available in their shops from £2.99 per pack (think they are packs of 12).

Thanks again to you all for your support
