I did my officially weekly checking of the scale today and I'm down 2.5lbs, it's definitely a starting point - hopefully more weeks like this will follow.

The downside of today was some incredibly good to eat food that's not so incredibly good for you turned up in my house today - thanks to a pre-2006 committment I made. Alas, the delightful little treats are in the freezer so they aren't quite so easy access.
