    2. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FIRST DAY!!!!! We will all be thinking of you - cheering you on!! :T:T:T:T:T

    I totally agree, I to have being reading away in the background for sometime now and for your journey to be successful you need to have time out every once and a while.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Good luck today, although you probably won't see this now until the working day is over. So I hope you had a good day today :D.

  • Hiya MrBloater
    I am loving your thread, i have just read the begining then the last few weeks as its HUGE! I havent laughed so much in ages
    I am on the cancer diet 22 stone 9lbs down to 18 stone 9lbs in three months, cancer is good for something!! LOL
    Every cloud and all that, but now that its started i am gonna keep it up, i am too ill to excercise but am gonna continue with the dieting.

    Maybe you should allow a treat night - curry, wine, choc etc every half a stone you lose or every 20k you run or even just once every two months or summat. The phrase all work and and no play yada yada is very true for me and maybe it is for you and yours too?
