-1lb mainly due to weather!
I have read that folks confuse the signals for thirst and hunger and yes, I have been drinking more water in an effort to stay hydrated so perhaps that's helping?‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

Hi all did my lake swim Friday evening and this morning, might try to go for a run tonight, but late - as it is just too hot. Loving my big trees and shade in the garden. Brambling thanks for keeping us going.Isa help to buy: 1000/3000 33%

Sorry not to be more supportive to everyone. Life is still incredibly chaotic.
Can record a STS this week. Am pleased with that as meal plans are out of the window just now.
Good luck everyone.I believe that friends are quiet angels

Well done People on some great losses!
Weighing in and joining monna with another STS. Some good days, but then some which needed comfort eating.
Monna, I hope you can find the key to bringing order into your present chaos. (I don’t expect it’s available via on-line ordering...?) All the best 🐶“Tomorrow is another day for decluttering.”Decluttering 2023 🏅🏅🏅🏅⭐️⭐️

Reporting a 1lb loss this past week. I'm a tad confused because there were several days where I ate more than I really wanted to - I have a theory that my weight loss (or lack of it) might correspond to the previous week's food intake!

Hi,
I'm reporting a 1lb loss this week. It takes me below the bottom of my target range but I'm going to drop the target by a couple of pounds. I brought some M&S trousers online, the larger size was too big but the smaller ones were just slightly too tight. I think they will be more comfortable if I drop another couple of pounds.
Thank you to those who post a food diary, it is very interesting to see what others are eating. I could not get by on the very small amounts some are having. I would have to eat the plate as well.3 -

Good evening everyone
It's been so hot that my appetite has actually slightly decreased hahaha. I am going to have some cheese and crackers in a minute though as I fancy some interesting dreams.
My meals today were:
b - 2 weetabix and a slice of toast with peanut butter
l - leftover chilli with mixed vegetables
d - sticky lemon chicken and wholegrain rice
s - pear, cheese and crackers
I have drunk more water today as I feel like I have the start of a water infection and I want to flush out as many bugs as possible. I am already on antibiotics for the sepsis /cellulitis so I don't really want to take any more.
I will try and remember to weigh in tomorrow but I'm not holding out too much hope for a loss after last week.

Hi just here to record an optimistic sts, as I have lost 100g but we all know that that means nothing in the big picture, but for me it means I am still on track even after a slightly foodie evening on Saturday. So my method is basically working.
Can't really run in this heat.
Walked for over an hour last night and the night before.
Will book swim for later.
Congrats on big and small losses.
Ps love my rice cracker snacks!
PPS shoot had to book swim in fast lane as all other were booked out! So just hope they are kind today.

Morning!
Another STS for me - I'd lost in the week but put it back over the weekend - again! I'm having a tidy up today - see if perhaps my willpower is down the back of the sofa or something. Currently feeling far too hot to think about food, maybe that will help...
Keep going everyone! have a good week.8
