Minor setback or not?

the scales on my weigh in on Tuesday 29th of Jan, stated I had lost 5 and half pounds! Fab, great, whoop and I jumped up and down with joy!  Helped me to win win slimmer of the week and month!  Weigh in on Tuesday the 5th I had put on a a pound a half!  I hadn't been that bad! Then I was told they were different scales as basically the old ones had failed.  This things happen! Upset understatement, but I kept telling myself I had lost 4 pounds in two weeks!

But more importantly than that its motivated me even more to keep going! I've worked out that if I carry on loosing 2 pounds a week I can have lost nearly 4 stone by my birthday!  I am also aiming to fit into my red dress for a wedding in June!

Just a reminder what it looks like (I know its a bad picture!)

I have also entered the Race for Life again this year.  This is a 5km race you can walk, jog or run and help raise money for cancer research.  The last 2 years I have walked it!  This year my aim is to have lost enough weight to try and run it!

I have also completed a 6 month plan which is stuck on my notice board next to my desk which includes things that I want to get done this year but don't necessarily relate to my weight loss journey so I'm afraid I'm not ready to share the whole lot!

Ive had a fab day trying to become fitter, I spent 33 minutes in the gym on the cross trainer and on the treadmill and then spent an hour swimming, clocking up 3.5km on all 3 activities.  This is part of one of my steps to be ready to run the Race For Life!
