Less of the Big Boaby

In all this election excitement I’ve been remiss with updates of my attempts to lose weight!

In February, I set myself a “17 pounds in 17 weeks” challenge.

In this final report, I can reveal an . . . er . . . almost successful campaign.

I managed to shed 16 lbs in 16 weeks, then went off to Italy two weeks ago . . . and gave the pasta and Pinot Grigio a pounding! Ooops!

The “17 pound” mark is still around the corner – but I’m sure you’re all bored enough already!

My thanks to everyone for their support and offers of help.

And a special thanks to my bar staff who resolutely refused to serve me anything other than

“Zero Coke” . . . even when I threatened to fire them!

But I think the time is right to wind up my campaign.

A new chip shop is opening across the street – and I know I won’t be able to resist it!
