Progress with the treadmill has been in fact very slow.   By the third week of of September I’d managed to get down to 11 stone 11.  Under the magic 12 stone, closer to 11 and half but not quite yet there.  The mircacles of working nights have helped and since then my weight dropped off to 11 stone 2.  9 lbs in 4 weeks isn’t too bad really.  With another three weeks to go I may well drop under the 11 stone mark and get down to the 32″ waist I’m aiming for.
