Story
Please note that I have now finished this challenge, with a total of 21lbs (1.5st or 9.5kg) weight loss over the 90 days, more details in the updates below.
Offline donations will be paid in November - so you still have time to donate (online, here, and in person).
I would like to thank all of you who have donated, supported and encouraged me during this challenge.

Hi, My name is Andrew Mills and I am doing a 90-day weight loss challenge. As an incentive to make sure I stick to it, and to also make sure I don't cheat (or have too many cheats), I have decided to ask people to sponsor me.
I am asking that people donate a "pound for a pound" - basically, for each pound in weight I lose, you donate a pound sterling in money. If you choose this, you will have to wait until my final weigh-in before donating. As a rough guide to how much it could be, I did this challenge last year and lost just over 30lbs.
I am aware that not everyone will want to donate this way, so you are more than welcome to donate a flat/fixed amount of whatever you can afford.
The start date of the challenge was Saturday 14th July 2018 and ends on Thursday 11th October 2018 (the 90 days are inclusive of these dates).
Starting weight on the morning of the 14th July was 249.2lbs.
I'll keep people updated via my Facebook page and by a blog (to follow), and here if I am able to.
I've chosen the Wallace & Gromit Grand Appeal as it's a local charity raising money for sick children in the Bristol and surrounding areas.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
