Even the relatively small amount of weight I've lost and the bit of exercise I've been doing has given me the sort of energy I haven't felt in years. It's really spurred me on to make bigger improvements - if I feel this good losing 12 pounds and doing a bit of exercise, how good will I feel after losing 4 stone and doing more exercise and getting stronger?

It feels great, I remember, however its also a lot harder to maintain when you start to peak and I didn't have the motivation to keep it up, I suspect that I'll be picking a reasonable point this time where I am close to a proper shape for my frame and then 'stick' rather than keep 'twisting'. Last time I gave it all up after I hurt myself lifting, time time I'll need an excape plan, gradually easing down to a way of maintaining once I'm happy with what I have achieved and being willing to let myself not be constantlly breaking new barriers, that way madness lies!
