Well done Frith and Dumpling a sea of
around your names, Dumpling you will soon be matching Friths 2 stone I feel like I should have a symbol for stones
- every one else well done as well what ever you have done, sometimes it's hard just to get on the scales
Tryingtoavoiddebt do you want me to zero out you to start you back at 0 rather than getting the purple devils out?
Blue hope the tooth ache isn't too bad today, in my opinion there is nothing worst than bad toothache especially the kind that makes you want to bang your head against the wall or more to the point stop you wanting to eat
Dominiquey i hope your tummy is feeling better today
I'm not going to record my WI readings this quarter but my visit to the scales did show -1lb from last week, it's still a gain over the quarter but it's a new start, I just need to forget i have cheese in the fridge

Could you zero me out, think the purple devils may just be too much 🙈 I will do better!x7

After keeping my daily calorie intake below 2000 (1755 on average), I have lost 1 lb. BMI also goes down 0.1.
So I hope I can get back to my 1 January starting weight by the month end.

Afternoon All,
Blue Doggy Well done for the STS. I hope your toothache's better now and that the car's not going to be too much of a pain/cost to fix.
Brambling Although you're not recording them at the moment, well done for the loss and best of luck for continuing in the right direction. It's good that you've got your vaccines booked. Does that mean you will have had both by the time you've got a cottage booked with your sisters?
couldsavemore Well done for the loss and that is an amazing amount of running in a week! Good luck with the virtual marathon.
ditty I hope you enjoyed your 5 mile run.
dominquey Even though it wasn't a fun way of getting there, well done on the loss. I hope your stomach feels better soon.
dumpling Well done on the loss!! It's good that you're seeing an improvement in your legs as well
frith Well done on the latest loss, you're doing so well!!
LittleVoice Well done on the loss.
monnagran Well done for the STS. Even though I'm not keen either I don't think I could share my house with that many creme eggs and not put on about a stone in a week!
roblou Being out of isolation must be a relief and well done for getting out running again.
SandyShores Well done for getting on the scales, I keep telling myself that I'll be brave and do it but then wimp out again so I know how hard it is to face up to. Well done for keeping up the exercise routine and best of luck with calories.
short_bird Well done on the loss
Sirens Well done on the loss. Hopefully the long walk will have balanced out the birthday meal and cake.
tryingtoavoiddebt Well done for getting on the scales and I know it's disappointing to be back at the start but, with how hard lockdown's been, try to congratulate yourself on the fact that you've managed to break even.
zippy Well done for the loss
As per earlier comments, I'm still being a coward and haven't been anywhere near the scales. I'm also ashamed to admit that I do wear lycra for running, my only saving grace is that I also wear a very loose top that's long enough to cover my bum. I tried running in tracky bottoms but, thanks to my rather chunky thighs, found that chafing was a bit of an issue so went for the thickest lycra I could find (it's definitely hippo grade and actually quite good for holding things in place) in a large enough size that I didn't have to pour myself into it
I've got Thursday and Friday off this week so am hoping that doing a proper spring clean will burn some calories and mean that I don't have time to eat too much rubbish. Oh I do know how to make the most of my annual leave!
Best of luck and stay safe everyone xx9 -
Brunch - salad with hummus
Tea - will be chicken tikka with salad in a wrap7 -
I’m really struggling but still have my hand in, think I have PMT again. I will weigh next week maybe when I get myself sorted!8

Will done Littlevoice 👏
iantanna sorry the dreaded PMT is hitting again
Izadora my holiday is the beginning of August so we all will have had both our jabswe're all walkers so looking forward to lots of walking and the apartment overlooks a quiet beach
Having munched my way through crackers yesterday (I do like the thin one and picked up some ryvita thins on offer) I find them very more-ish I'm back in the healthy options today 🙂Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin11 -
THank you for being so supportive! I’ve looked out my old dieting book from the days of going to classes so I’m going to have a shot and see how I go with that! Two days in and I didn’t eat the whole chocolate orange 🥳 Celebrating the little wins 😂10
