Story

<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">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.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week twelve = 1.5lb = 2stone 4.5!! = 2stone 4.5 Yippeeeee</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week eleven = 1.25lb loss = 2stone 3lb!!&nbsp; 1 Week to go :)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week ten = 3lb loss = 29.75lb&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Nine = 0.5lb loss :( = 1stone 12.75lb in total = 1.25 to get to my 2stone mark!!!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Eight = 2.25lb loss = 1stone 12.25lb in total</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Seven = 4lb loss = 1stone 10lb in total</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Six = no weigh in...half term Yippeeeeee!!!!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Five = 1.25 loss = 1stone 6lb in total!!&nbsp; Half term next week so no update :)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Four = 2.5lb loss = 1stone 4.75lb in total :)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Three = 2.75lb loss = 1stone 2.25lb so far! Still a long way to go!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Week Two = 2.5lb loss = 13.5lb so far...whoop whoop!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Week one = 11lb loss yippee!!!!!</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span>Archie,&nbsp;is 5 years old and has Cerebral Palsy and can't walk independently despite&nbsp;4 years of intensive physiotherapy. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;It is this stiffness which is preventing Archie from walking. &nbsp; The Blomfield's are&nbsp;heading out to St Louis Missouri for what we all hope will be &nbsp;be a completely life changing operation for Archie, and they hope to raise some funds to go towards the &pound;50,000 cost of the surgery. &nbsp; If you would like to look at Archie's fund raising page you can go to&nbsp;<span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: 13px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.operationarchie.com/">http://www.operationarchie.com/</a>.</span></span></p> <p>You can either sponsor&nbsp;me a set amount based on me hitting my target weight loss or sponsor&nbsp;an amount per lb I&nbsp;loose.&nbsp; I will update this site weekly to let you know how much weight&nbsp;I am loosing.&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">My&nbsp;challenge begins on Friday 6th January and ends on Friday 30th March when&nbsp;I will let you know exactly how much weight&nbsp;I have lost in total.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Thank you so much</p> <p>Vic :-)</p>
