In the Beginning …

I have been promising to lose weight for most of my life, but now I really must, not only for the future of my health, but also because I have told too many people about this sponsored slim to pull out! Together with a good friend of mine, I run a small charity called Knickers 4 Africa and we have had many very generous donations of knickers and other items that we are hoping to send to Africa in the near future. The only problem is … getting them there with so little cash reserves!

We have had a few cash donations in the last year or so that we have been active but nowhere near as much as we need, or would like! This got me thinking and I decided to use it as the proverbial carrot and get on with raising some money for a great cause!

So here we are; the basics of the challenge are below! Please come back to find out how I’m getting on and consider sponsoring me or donating some money for Knickers 4 Africa!

Start Date: Monday 1st June 2009

End Date: Friday 27th December 2009

Total Number of Weeks: 30 (210 Days)

Weight loss Aim: 4 Stone (2lbs a week with 2 ‘free’ weeks!)

Wish me luck!
