and public humiliation...?! Today I weighed in at (wait for it) an horrendous 17 stone 3 lbs...!!!!!! That's a weight gain over the past 5/6 weeks of 34 lbs. I'm not entirely in shock as I knew I'd put on a lot but it feels kind of horrific to put a number on it! I've put off weighing myself for ages cos I didn't want to know... It's quite shocking, really.
Sometime this week, once the food packs have arrived, I'm embarking on the Cambridge Diet again. I feel very badly that I will make less money for my charities if I don't lose the weight. I've decided to do it for another couple of months - either til my birthday or perhaps the full 12 weeks of the programme, as long as I can afford it - and try to get off as much as I can. I would still like to get to my 11 stone weight loss target but I'm not sure I'll manage it now... We shall see.
Onwards and upwards!

This is the story of my weight loss through the Lighter Life programme, Diet Chef and The Cambridge Diet, and of my charity fundraising through sponsorship of my weight loss. I originally aimed to lose 3 stone and to raise £2000 by the end of April 2009. In the end I lost a grand total of 4 stone 4.5 lbs but raised only £375...
Very disappointing. So now I'd like to try to raise £2000 by the time I've lost my target amount, 11 stone or 154 lbs. I'm now well over halfway there, but there's still lots of time and opportunity for YOU to sponsor me. Yes, YOU! Please help me reach my target!
Many of you generously helped me with the costs of Lighter Life Foundation, 10 weeks of Development and 2 weeks of Route to Management - THANK YOU! As I moved onto firstly Diet Chef, then The Cambridge Diet, and now onto real food, there's no longer any need to donate towards the costs of my weight loss.
