    Hello All
    reporting in with a sts think I'm rather relieved  as a bit of a lost weekend over the bank holiday 😬 
    Tomorrow I'm off out with dd she wants to go into the west end for some lunch and shopping, I shall try my hardest to behave but I'm hoping all the walking will help balance out whatever we eat for lunch 😂 Sat ds wants to go to to the park, (he is not a fan of shopping) I have suggested walking there instead of getting the bus (the car has a flat battery) it's about an hour each way so hopefully more exercise there to keep me on track.
    today 
    L tuna melt panini and salad
    D I'm trying a new receipt of turkey shish kebabs with couscous and roasted chick peas (ds not so sure about the couscous) but we'll give it a go.

    STS = Stayed the Same   (for those of us who have to take a little comfort in not having gained any weight since our last reported weigh-in)

    Some of us report in weekly but not all on the same day, it's whatever suits you.

    Lol no worries. It's my fault because I use decimal points and not half and whole numbers lol

    I was at 18.1 lbs but after today's weigh in I'm down to 258 lbs, making a loss of 4.2 lbs this week and a new total of 22.3lbs overall. 6lbs to go until target!

    Let's do this guys. We got this 👍🏼
