When You Just Can’t Stop Losing Weight

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

I’ve just weight myself again this morning, the scales show 11 stone 5 pound. That’s nearly 2 stone I’ve lost since I started looking after myself at the beginning of the year. In fact it seems I’ve reached that stage where I can’t stop losing weight!
