I've never been able to fit in our bath so I have had to make do with showers all this time. Showers are great things, but nothing beats a soak in the bath with a cup of nettle tea and a good book.

I have just had my first bath in about 5 years. It feels great.

And I got weighed the other day and found I am 259lb. This must mean the my estimated start weight of 280lb was way off due to the inches I have lost.

I'm sitting here typing wearing a tshirt I was given 2 years ago that was always a little too tight to be seen in. Now its fantastically loose.

All this comes after few weeks of feeling like I had stopped losing weight. For the last two days I have been blessed by the whoosh fairy.

I've not felt this good for a long time and I'd like to share it with you all. May the whoosh fairy visit you
