Well, it's the Summer Solstice and I'm 15st 2. I haven't quite managed to drop below 15st by Midsummer as I once planned - though I'm pretty close now. I did actually briefly drop to 14 st 13 a couple of weeks back, but I hadn't eaten properly for three days and as soon as I started eating again, the weight went back up.

Still, I'm only one pound away from being a stone lighter than I was on January 1. It's taken half a year - considerably slower progress than I hoped - but all the same, progress is progress. If I can get a similar amount off in the second half of the year, I'll take that as a win. It's a long term project and I'm not going to set any time limit - what's important is that I keep moving in the right direction.
