    Weighed in last night - 18st 1lb, so total weight loss for the week remains at 5lb.

    On the extra earning front, another 12 hours OT today, so another £125.16 in the pot :)

    Thanks

    I should have really said I was pleased with no weight loss, I was expecting a gain!!! Have done no exercise and eaten whatever I felt like so in a way I'm not doing too bad.

    Aiming for a good loss this week.
