Thats great Monna, with those scales you have , which I think must be possessed, a STS is a win!
I had got a bit fanatical and was weighing myself everyday, now ill only do it once a week.What do you all do?Norn Iron Club member 4734 -
Good afternoon everyone
Artytarty thank you. 🐶 😀
Kimwp welcome!Tonisfriend congratulations on that super loss 👏👏👏Well I weighed in this morning and I am just in the most trendy group today with a real designer STS! 😁
Marion2 in my experience, an STS is nothing to worry about as long as you keep doing what you know works. I think of it as the time when my body tidies up and rearranges itself before waving goodbye to another bit of weight. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating, though!Have a good week, everyone!“Tomorrow is another day for decluttering.”Decluttering 2023 🏅🏅🏅🏅⭐️⭐️

Arty, only once a day? How restrained. When I'm on a losing streak I'm up and down those scales like a harlot's knickers.

Hello Brambling and all.
So sorry that I have been missing. I have been stuffing my face and sometimes very scared to get on the scales, but its been okay. I'm roughly still 12 stone 4 and a half pounds. So I am going to give myself a target of losing 5lbs. It will be lovely to be in the 11's. Have been nearly there but it keeps going back to 12'4."Think of many things, do one"

Hope you both enjoyed your holidays.4 -
Right so I have gone on a family jolly, and I won't be able to do any focussed exercise, but I will be doing a lot of walking so hopefully that will make up for it. But some wine already happened yesterday so will have to be restrained! But I am hoping for an STS this week.Isa help to buy: 1000/3000 33%

Mornning All
I've decided to go strictly low carb for this week - no more milky coffees, potatoes or bread (even my husband's homemade sourdough) and see if I can get moving downwards again. Also my son is on holiday this week so I have a twice daily walk to feed his kittens which I can use to up my exercise. That's on top of the tennis, yoga, Pilates and walks I already do. He also won't be coming for lunch as he usually does so if I'm feeling particularly good I may even try fasting till the evening once or twice. I have done in the past. I do a 24 hour fast where I dont eat after six pm one day till six the following day which works quite well. I already regularly don't eat after six till lunch time the next day without getting hungry so it's only adding a few hours extra on and I wouldn't do it more than twice in a week. Otherwise, I've made some homemade soup which I can have for my lunches. I always feel really good on a low carb diet which is an added bonus. I prefer exercising on an empty stomach so it's no problem for my tennis etc. and although my friends and I often go out for coffee afterwards, its getting harder to do so as we've been sitting outside and its getting colder.
Fingers crossed it will make a difference and help motivate me further.

Hi everyone!
1 lb loss brambling
I haven't been very careful the last month and I have been avoiding to read the messages but I am happy that overall I had 1 lb loss. There is a lot of stress with work and I eat for comfort. I need to take control again!4 -
