Blast from the past (thanks LJ)

Thanks to LiveJournal, I'm reminded today of the beginning of my journey to a healthier and happier life.  I'm not completely equating weight loss with being happier, but the process of doing that is what started me down the path to so many things; new hobbies, new health, new love of sport, new love...

LiveJournal sent me an email, out of the blue, telling me they'd migrated my photos to a new service and the process was now complete.  To be honest, I'd forgotten I ever put much up on LiveJournal, I created the account mostly to be able to read other people's stuff.  So, I logged in and had a look at what was there.  And found this:-


My original weight loss progress chart from when I started on May 8th 2006.  It shows that I recall incorrectly that my start weight was 94kg; it was "only" 92kg then.  And it stops short of where I got to (another 5kg off over the next couple of months).  But still.  It shows the incredible progress and mercifully few, mercifully short spikes and plateaus.  I had an "easier" time than many.  But there were reasons for that.  I wish I knew what I'd done with the spreadsheet for this.  I'd import the rest of the data from WLR and complete the chart to date.  I think I cleaned it out a long time ago though.
