I have now lost exactly 140 pounds, which brings me to 175.
I couldn’t be happier, my only concern now is losing my curves.
Here are my latest photos:
Dave and Jon at mine at 3:00 AM on Saturday… After lots of drink!
Russ, talking on the phone to his girlfriend at 3:30AM on the back step, while drinking Ciaprinhias, having a fag, and prior to getting covered in lime shaving gel from the upstairs bathroom window, ala Dave.
Seeing as I am skint like flint, and the bills are piling up, I am flogging things on ebay.

Last night we went to a Boxing Dinner Jacket function, and here are the images from the camera phone - the proper ones from David’s dad’s camera and my camera, as well as the videos, will be available later.
We have to prepare for tonight’s Foo Fighter’s concert.
Ohh and we won a bottle of gin in the raffle

Comments please…
Work: Yesterday I was in London for a job interview. They are offering me crazzzy money. It includes alot of travel to the USA. It sounds like a great job. I will keep you posted.
Personal: I have started dating again.
Media: The OWLSS group is taking off, the Yorkshire Post are doing an article about me/OWLSS shortly, as well as the local paper here. There will be some media coverage for our first meeting next week - talk about pressure!
Channel4 are doing a health documentary that I wil be involved in regarding gastric bypass. Who knows where this will all lead!
Keep your eyes posted for Geneva sightings!
Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, not the jobs, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.
Today then I am resigning from the hurly burly of the company but I will take with me many memories of a role that was stimulating, challenging and usually far too relaxed.
I thank you for your kindness and your consideration.
I will leave you with a few of my favourite quotes that will hopefully help you get through your days:
It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be. You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
I hope that my achievements in life shall be these - that I will have fought for what was right and fair, that I will have risked for that which mattered, and that I will have given help to those who were in need that I will have left the earth a better place for what I’ve done and who I’ve been. ~C. Hoppe
The important thing is not to stop questioning. ~Albert Einstein
