Good morning and happy Saturday 🌟
Sadly I’m still clinging on to 0.4 of a pound, so can’t get my 8lb badge yet. There’s not much more I can do apart from keep at it! A calorie deficit has to work eventually. 

I am planning to get some decluttering done today and hopefully clean the oven door so I can see in 😅
I hope you all have a lovely day 🌟☕️

No one can say you’re not persistent. Must be so frustrating. Hopefully the scales will move soon. 

On a separate note, you seem to be doing well with not spending as you haven’t mentioned any deliveries for a while.

I’m spending, but not overspending 🤭 Today I took delivery of 1kg of mini eggs for MrWW and some artificial tulips that I’m very pleased with. Real flowers are a nightmare as everyone wants to eat them and I usually end up giving the flowers a time out in a locked room. They have to spend every night and any unsupervised time locked in the toilet. From a distance these don’t look bad at all, so I may treat myself to some white ones too.

Good morning and happy Sunday ☕️ Well! After getting 9960 steps yesterday with all the vacuuming and cleaning, eating 1340 calories (well within target as I earned 322 extra with exercise….this morning I went up 1 and a half pounds 😨 I can normally scrape through a pound off a week, but this week it’s gone backwards 😕. I certainly don’t feel any more muscular! Oh well, I’ll keep plodding on. I can’t give up or I’ll never get where I need to be. It’s a bit annoying though. I’m kind of cheating as I won’t record todays weight on the nutracheck progress….so it can’t snatch my 7lb badge 😅 Hopefully I’ll come good in a day or two.
Today I will go to the supermarket for a few bits and then I should crack on with decluttering another room. The living room looks really good now, but dog just came in with a biscuit so I’ll need to pick up all her crumbs. I even got into the hidden dumping ground corner behind the couch and pulled everything out. MrWW seemed to have been squirreling loads of cables and battery chargers down there, along with boxes from his man toys 🤭. I wasn’t innocent either as I still had Christmas presents under my side table 🙄 Anyhow it’s all put away, thrown away or redistributed now and the floor has nothing on it that shouldn’t be there…apart from the dog biscuit crumbs I’m about to pick up.
I hope you all have a lovely day 🌟

Think we all had have our secret junk corners. Mine is at the side and back of my chair. Dh just piles his side table up until it is in danger of toppling over. 😂😂 and I use the room we have for the gks and Dh has the other room with th e bed settee which is pulled out when dd and sil come. I always visualised a lovely craft room once the kids moved out and I did have it for a short time THEN the family grew and had to be accommodated when they come up to see us 😏
The 1 1/2 will come off….I put that on a couple of weeks ago and it’s all gone again now. You’re doing better than me I’ve dropped 4lb since I started back at SW. it’s a slow job but I’m not giving up 👍

Thanks @milann. I do think the most dangerous thing with weight loss is to become discouraged. I’m hoping mine will be gone by autumn, so I’m prepared to live with the annoying and unexplainable blips along the way. I consoled myself with a kinder surprise (don’t care for the toys, but love the chocolate 🤭), counted in the calorie app of course! Our spare bedroom’s got taken up as offices and we have the same problem. I will tackle mine again soon. 

Today I did some decluttering and packed 4 boxes to send to Ziffit. All being well that will bring in £59. I will wait to make sure it works before going through the rest. I have had hundreds of book and film culls over the years which have always gone to charity shops, but I have decided I should try this way. It makes me wince when it offers 10p for something that cost £10, but on the other hand it all mounts up, it’s giving me some space back and in all honesty if I want to read it again I will buy it on kindle! I’m just going to keep my very favourites and childhood books and ancient ‘heirlooms’. It will free up so much space. I chose PayPal, so I’ll report back on how smooth it goes.

@WinterWarrior congratulations on the decluttering....another thing on my to do list, along with checking out Ziffit!

Thank you. The scanning worked really well. I used welcome10 to get an extra 10%. Hopefully the collection and payment will be straightforward too. There were some they didn’t want and a few weren’t recognised, but a lot went through ok. I think I could do at least the same amount again if this payout goes smoothly.

Good morning and happy Monday ☕️☕️
My weight is still up! I have given in and put it on the tracker so my 7lb badge has changed to 6lb 😡 I checked the weighing scales app and my muscle mass has gone up and my fat has gone down, so I can only think that all of the steps I did this weekend made a difference. I am trying to view it as a positive, but I really want to see my 8lb badge! I’m in a decent calorie deficit every single day (since Christmas). So it has to catch up eventually. So frustrating! I never have a big drop, but I’m hoping it will all catch up at once.
The boy cat seems to think we have a time share. We didn’t see him yesterday and I was happily thinking he’d gone home, but this morning he was prancing on the windowsill begging for his breakfast while I fed the others 🙄 He had a run around the garden with me and dog, rubbing and rolling and showing off scratching up a tree. I expect he’ll have a sleep in our garage and hang around for the day now.
Just work today. I do need to order a big sack of dog biscuits, they used to be £42 and now are showing at £56 and out of stock at the usual place. That’s a ridiculous price increase. All the pet food and treats seem to have shot up.
I hope you all have a very happy Monday 🌟
