still fat in sept

Well last time didn't go v.well did it. But here we are in Sept and I'm trying again. This time I was brave enough to actually weigh myself and i'm (when i started) a shocking 14st 12lbs. Oh dear. Oh dear. The beer, or rather the cider was the first thing to go. What persuaded me to start again ?
my Kids obviously. and just to show you how shallow i am...er, because there was an article in Men's Health about how some media types (james brown, adrian chiles) had got fitt(er) in 8 weeks. I was most excited by James Brown extolling the virtues of eating anchovies on oat cakes for a snack of an evening. Ha! a shopping/food opportunity.
