Weight loss target acheived - thank you for all your help and support Pounds 4 Greenfingers update from Trevor Pfeiffer
GTN's Trevor Pfeiffer used the Garden Re-Leaf Day Sponsored Walk as part of his final push to loose 1 stone in weight during the six weeks between the GCA Conference in Brighton and Garden Re-Leaf Day 2016.
"On the morning of Garden Re-Leaf Day I was still 1 pound away from my target, so having our puppies Olly and Floyd with us as part of the support team for the Sponsored Walk meant I had plenty of opportunity to work off those extra ounces. The result on weighing in yesterday morning was more than I'd expected at 14 stone 3 pounds. Mission accomplished!
"Thank you for all the messages of support I've had over the past few weeks, that has been a great motivation. If you are able to make a donation to Greenfingers via my Just Giving page that would be wonderful: https://www.justgiving.com/Trevor-Pfeiffer
"Immediately after conference I went down with a bout of man flu, so I was only able to get the diet up and running on Wednesday 3rd February. My start weight was registered as 15 stone 4 pounds.
"On that plan I can eat normally on non-fast days but only a maximum of 600 calories on fast days.
"I'm now going to continue on with the 5:2 diet to acheive my overall target of getting to 13:04 by Chelsea Flower Show. I'm looking forward to raising even more money for Greenfingers when I reach that target from all the kind people who've also said they would support me."
Next year I wonder how many pounds of lost weight can the UK gardening industry convert into £'s cash for Greenfingers by Garden Re-Leaf Day?
