My children both attend a Church school and they always run a lent appeal for a chosen charity, obviously during lent. And I have volunteered to do a sponsered slim so although I should officially start on Wednesday thought that I would start at the begining of a week - 2 extra days to loose a bit more. So here I go with my weigh in - oh my the new digital scales must be wrong - I can't possible weigh 12 st 6 lb (198 lbs), but I am 6 foot tall - I think I am going to need some extra encouragement and also some help with some low fat recipe ideas that the family will enjoy. Wish me luck and I'll check in again in a couple of days and let you know how its going.
