2012 Diet Diary Note

At one stage (i.e. April 2012), I'd lost 3.5 Stone. Unfortunately, my gluttonous nature got the better of me and I'm likely to end the year 1 stone lighter. At least, I won't have put weight on. Still, 1 stone weight loss for many would be a success. By my normal standards, it has been a "failed" diet. Mind you, I'm on a downward curve; 1 stone a year for the next few years would lead to a big weight loss.
Saying that, I intend to lose a considerable amount of weight next year but not stop in April ! I expect at least a further reduction of 3.5 stone by April 2013.
