 DH - bless him - is doing all my 'animal' related jobs today, I think the geese chased him as he said a rather rude word about them when he came indoors. - something about 'Christmas dinner being sorted' - no way.....

My mom used to have geese and it was always knowing they would be sent to the butcher shop eventually.  Every year it was the same - she'd fall in love with all the little goslings and be so upset when they were finally crated up to be taken off for fattening.  And she wouldn't touch even a KFC for at least a month afterwards!!!

Hope he and the animals are all ok, but this did make me chuckle

There is a reason that the word goose refers to more than the bird.

Evening All
Well still in isolation. 

Im just out of mine today. Hopefully your household will clear of covid by the time your home confinement is up. 

Interesting article on the bbc about lockdown weight gains - mine was far in excess of the average quoted. 

Lockdown weight gain averaging half a stone - survey https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57968651

I'd have been thrilled if I had only gained half a stone!

I am plodding on. Had a bit of a skirmish last night with a fruit cake though. I need to not see or think about food that I am not intending to eat. 
I bet if I lived on my own and was not confronted by crisps in the cupboard I would be tiny. 
Come to think of it, last time I lived on my own I was, but then again, it was forty  years ago.

1) Duck egg on toast x2 and a grapefruit. 

2) the last of the minced beef curry and brown rice. Pears. Raw carrots.

Evening All,

Sorry for utter rubbishness and lack of posting but I've been a mardy bum of epic proportions and keeping myself to myself was the kindest option.

Well done for all of the losses and STSs. 

Little Voice hopefully I won't have missed you but congratulations on all you've achieved so far and best of luck for the future. 

Get well soon wishes and good luck to those who are isolating, hopefully you'll get to enjoy freedom soon.

Best of luck to everyone and I'll try to check in more often, even if I can't face trying to diet at the moment xxx

Hello

Can I join you again? I've put on a lot of weight during lockdown - more than the half a stone they are talking about. I've managed to loose a stone but I really need to keep myself accountable as I've come to a bit of a standstill. I'd like to lose 10 lbs by the end of September.

Thanks

SIRENS

Morning All 
loss of -2lb for me this week, am really pleased with that, so will plod on with exercising in doors and hope for a loss next week.

Had my second half of self isolation this week - but still managed a drop. It did creep up for a few days where exercise was limited, but as always look at the long term picture rather than a daily gain. 

Dropped my car off for a service in a nearby town yesterday and walked the 10km home just before the heavens opened. Have to pick it up later - weather doesn’t look promising to walk back and collect it. 

Keeping a check on progress so far: 

Week 1 start weight: 189.93
Week 2 start weight: 185.85 (declared -4lb)
Week 3 start weight: 181.77 (declared -4lb)
Week 4 start weight: 179.68 (declared -2lb)
Week 5 start weight: 176.81 (declared -3lb)

So far that’s - 13.12lbs - this weeks loss is just a slice under 3lbs - but I’m going to declare 3lbs from the shavings I’ve not previously declared keeping things to whole round pounds. 4 weeks in and averaging over 3lbs a week - no isolation now - so let’s see what this next 7 days brings. 

Still keeping calorie consumption at around 1000 a day or below. It was interesting to see those slight gains when the calories were so low but the exercise non-existent due to my isolation. 

Well done to everyone that’s got a loss - keep up the good work you sts’s - and if you’ve made a gain - there’s always another week to turn it around. 

Loss -3lbs
