The results are in!

...in which things are good.

I have been weighed, and I have lost...

...wait (or weight?) for it....

...drum roll please...

3 pounds! 

I am now 2lbs from losing 3 stone, and 6lbs from target (for people who use metric: 0.9kg from 3 stone, 2.72kg to target).

Feeling good. Woop!
