Did a yoga class , good healthy lunch of grapefruit snd yoghurt but then slip up on a bag of crisps mid afternoon.
dinner not great but overall ive cut out do much in the way of biscuits and cakes im feeling rather pleased with myself. The Scales may only show a fractional loss but i feel  less inflated!

Just done my WI,   -3lb loss

Had an emotional roller coaster week, Wednesday was the Anniversary of my Dad passing away 12 years ago.  Get very weepy but a bar of Fruit and Nut choc eased the pain!  .  Been very good apart from that on my eating plan, not so good about posting on here!.

Will do a proper catch up later today.

1Ib loss. I'm happy so long as it's going down. However, I have had a very sedentary week so a bit more walking might help loose a few more ounces.

Today meals:

Breakfast - Banana and blueberries
Lunch - Tuna rice salad
Dinner - Meatballs and pasta

Hi
I’m behind on reading the thread, hope to catch up over the weekend so will just say well done everyone.

Weighday for me -1.5lbs please Brambling, hope you had a lovely holiday. 

My loss makes no sense whatsoever lol,  I’d stayed as was up till Wednesday, didn’t have time to weigh yesterday so I’ve lost that in a couple of days. I’ve made no effort to count calories or macronutrients and have eaten more chocolate this week. Not only plain milk, carameley and wafery plus other gluten free junk which has made me feel quite icky and constantly hungry at the same time. It’s mostly all gone now except the plain milk chocolate shapes and I’ve asked OH not to buy anymore gluten free junk food as it’s not a treat when it makes me feel yucky. Not that I’m complaining about the loss! 

Take care all.

Morning All,

ditty I hope the news about your mum's operation was good and that the tooth fixing went well

TF Congratulations on the loss. It shows that, even if you feel like you're stumbling about a bit, you're obviously getting it right

dumpling Well done on being angelic and I hope you're feeling better now

TTB I hope all goes well with the home trial of the big, fluffy cat, at least you already know that she's open to bribery

Molly Have a lovely time with your daughter and enjoy the cheesecake/trifle

Artytarty You deserve to be pleased with yourself and well done for appreciating how well you've cut down rather than focusing on a small slip

Marion Well done for the impressive loss, especially having had a hard week

To say that food's been a bit hit-and-miss this week would be an understatement and I seem to have lost all C25K motivation at the moment as well. I'm at week 5 run 3 (run for 20 minutes without stopping) and, having attempted it 4 times, the longest I've managed is 15 minutes so I decided to give myself a week off and go back to the beginning of week 5 on Monday. We've got one of IzHe's friends and her kids (18 and 13 and quite possibly the loveliest teenagers ever) staying this weekend which means we're likely to end up either eating out or getting a takeaway so I really need to try to be as sensible as I can. I'm ever hopeful that the thought of Monday's weigh in will keep me slightly in check over the next couple of days.

Best of luck and stay safe everyone xx

Hi Iza yes thanks my Mum is good, she's back talking to people and surgeon is happy. So I am happy. 

Toni'sfriend

That's great news, Ditty. 

Thank you, Izadora. Think it's going to be a case of re-educating my eating habits but slowly and surely will get me there in the end.

Hello All

I have to confess I was really surprised that I have already hit my target of 5lb.  Will have to see what happens between now and the end of September.  

I'm wondering how you are all deciding what your weight loss should be.  Is it BMI?.  The reason I ask is that I've had an interesting experience with this.  I lost weight a few years ago, BMI was 23, weight was in the healthy range and I was eating a really good, sensible healthy diet.  Saw my GP about something else, she took one look at me and said "you won't lose any more weight will you?".  Other people mentioned I had lost too much weight.

I've put on well over 2 stone since then but still get that reaction whenever I see a Nurse or Doctor   I always immediately say I'm overweight as I know what my BMI is, they look at me and say " you aren't overweight", do my BMI and I'm in the overweight category.    I now base it on how I look and feel.
