0.8lb loss!
I'm very pleased with that, although somewhat surprised as there have been a few little extras this week.
However, for anyone who doesn't know, one of the greatest achievements in the world of bloggers dealing with health and weight issues has been Kepa, or Fat Lazy Guy, reaching his target of being under 100kg, or 220lbs.
What makes this such an astonishing success story is 3 years ago he weighed over 500lbs.
And what makes this so special for me is we've been exchanging blog comments since he started. If you like, I knew him back in his days of struggle and massive self-esteem issues, long before the bold and confident guy he is today.
So this isn't about some distant person who must be superhuman and I couldn't relate to. This is very real.
Here's a wee video he made charting his success

It almost brings a tear to my eye

It did bring a tear (or several) to my eye. Kepa is indeed a wonderful inspiration to us all!
Man! What a great video!
Amazing, but then you both have fought the good fight. Well done to all.
His next big goal is to get to America in July to see his girlfriend :)
