Story

Since getting married only a year ago, I have managed to pile on the pounds...so...I am taking part in a sponsored slim to raise money for Archie, a little boy in my class. 

Week twelve = 1.5lb = 2stone 4.5!! = 2stone 4.5 Yippeeeee

Week eleven = 1.25lb loss = 2stone 3lb!!  1 Week to go :)

Week ten = 3lb loss = 29.75lb 

Week Nine = 0.5lb loss :( = 1stone 12.75lb in total = 1.25 to get to my 2stone mark!!!

Week Eight = 2.25lb loss = 1stone 12.25lb in total

Week Seven = 4lb loss = 1stone 10lb in total

Week Six = no weigh in...half term Yippeeeeee!!!!

Week Five = 1.25 loss = 1stone 6lb in total!!  Half term next week so no update :)

Week Four = 2.5lb loss = 1stone 4.75lb in total :)

Week Three = 2.75lb loss = 1stone 2.25lb so far! Still a long way to go!

Week Two = 2.5lb loss = 13.5lb so far...whoop whoop!

Week one = 11lb loss yippee!!!!!

 

Archie, is 5 years old and has Cerebral Palsy and can't walk independently despite 4 years of intensive physiotherapy.  His parents have recently looked into a procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, where a vertebrae is removed to expose the spinal cord and some of the sensory nerves are cut, which permanently reduces the stiffness in the legs.  It is this stiffness which is preventing Archie from walking.   The Blomfield's are heading out to St Louis Missouri for what we all hope will be  be a completely life changing operation for Archie, and they hope to raise some funds to go towards the £50,000 cost of the surgery.   If you would like to look at Archie's fund raising page you can go to http://www.operationarchie.com/.

You can either sponsor me a set amount based on me hitting my target weight loss or sponsor an amount per lb I loose.  I will update this site weekly to let you know how much weight I am loosing. 

My challenge begins on Friday 6th January and ends on Friday 30th March when I will let you know exactly how much weight I have lost in total. 

Thank you so much

Vic :-)
