back on track 3rd time lucky

Since I havent posted since january it might not suprise anyone that we haven't been following cambridge! Its been unbelievably hard to get back on track. We've been starting fine on a Monday, all raring to go and then failing miserably and not even managing 3 days. To begin with we were doing well managing our food, not overeating making sensible choices, but the last few weeks the old behaviour crept in. Its so hard when we are both addicts. If one of us wants to overeat its just too easy to get the other to join in. Anyway tale of woe over, we finally tried to start again last monday and i can happily say we now have a whole successful week done. Once you've got a week under your belt its so much easier to carry on - its just getting through that first week is so tough. Good news is I've lost 17bs and kel 12lbs according to our home scales. but not sure how much we had put on - somewhere between a stone and a stone and a half. We've just had an official weigh in so we can get an official weigh loss next week. According to the cdc
i'm now 270.5lbs and the lowest i got to was 258 - a difference of 12.5 lbs
kel is now 233.5 and her lowest was 217.5 - a difference of 16 lbs

we're both fired up and ready to get that excess of and get back to losing more - wish us luck!
