Well, the first offical weigh -in

 and I have an offical weight loss of 3.2 kilos.  Woohoo!  I'm proud.  Its been hard, but I can start to tell the difference.  I am eating loads more fruit (never used to eat it!), lots of veg (need to add more) and really working with spice and vinegars to enhance food flavours.  I feel a lot better about myself as a whole to.  Proud!
