Thought it was worth resurrecting this to see how everyone else is doing. Obviously you can see my target weight loss is now down to 91lbs - progessing well but of course time seems to pass SO slowly.

I now walk to and from work almost every day. The only times I have made exceptions have been when it was really bucketing down and when I had two very heavy bags to carry.

I've also forbidden myself to use the lift at work. As I work on the 6th floor I get at least 12 flights a day (coming in and coming back from lunch). Where possible I have also tried to go and see people on other floors rather than call or email.

I got bored with smoothies - at present I'm having real fruit for breakfast. This week I am mostly eating Clementines. I think - I can't tell the difference to be honest - they're the ones with the thick skins anyway.

Some days are harder than others - although I always said this was a long term thing and I know it will take at least a year, I am still quite impatient. Days when I catch sight of myself in a shop window and think, "OMG I'm HUGE!" or realise after over a month not one person has noticed I've lost weight are tricky. Small changes are all very well but I do wish I could just unzip the fat suit and run around in a tight sweater and pencil skirt.

Most of the time I am glad I have made a start though. And this time next year I'll look back and be even more glad.

When I'm down to 16 stone I'll post a picture for comparison, see if there's any difference noticeable.

Anyone else got anything they want to report?
