I've just realised I can't remember the last time I had a drink
Carbs, OTOH, I'm terrible, though thanks to thinking about this thread (even when I'm not posting) I *am* getting better, plus not eating in the evening and watching portion control. Stress helps too
I've eaten about a third less than normal today 
as well as having a walk at a local nature reserve. 2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Well done skint spice - 3lbs is very impressive.
When I'm stressed I can't eat. When Mr SA was ill 3 years ago I survived on red wine, Maltesers and black coffee. I lost loads of weight - I wouldn't recommend it though
Here's to a good week for all of us.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Please can I join - I've been at SW target twice but best part of stone crept back when I wasn't looking..... I'm sick of paying a fiver a week for the same pound to yo-y on and off.
I've lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks myself at home and have just been referred to the local gym from the physio to help arthritis in my knee and foot - so hoping to get a bit of reduced price swimming in - just got to have a 1-1 with someone from the local leisure centre to see what they say....
I want to lose another 9 lbs and that'll be 2 stone lost from my known heaviest - had scale denial for a long time!!!

Welcome Milann:)
You can log your losses whenever you like, please post them in red and bold so that I don't miss them."These things take time but I know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped"0
