The weekend passed without me noticing. Don't ask!
Anyway, it was an unexciting STS this week. Breathes sigh of relief.I believe that friends are quiet angels

Managed to draw a line and -1 lb !
a great relief
Thank you Brambling5 -
A bit of a strange week - got a decent loss (not as much as last week - but I'm expecting things to slow down a bit as I'm getting closer to target) - got a dip up for a couple of days when diet/calories/exercise were all as normal. Bodies can be a strange old thing. Tried on a few more of my smaller clothes this week and found they fit again - so that's a step in the right direction. Still a way to go - and I think when I hit 70kg - now 75kg (I quote in pounds for the boards) - I'll be in the right place - and have decided the reward for reaching it is going to be fresh fish and chips from the local chip shop with plenty of gravy, curry sauce, bread and real butter, salt and vinegar - which will no doubt shoot my weight up a couple of pounds for a few days - but after all these chicken salads - it'll be time for a treat.Prior to week 1 here, my peak was 200.84lb - I'd started my own weight loss journey a couple of weeks before joining this weight loss journey.
Week 1 start weight: 189.93
Week 2 start weight: 185.85 (lost 4.08lb - declared -4lb)
Week 3 start weight: 181.77 (lost 4.08lb - declared -4lb)
Week 4 start weight: 179.68 (lost 2.09lb - declared -2lb)
Week 5 start weight: 176.81 (lost 2.87lb - declared -3lb)
Week 6 start weight: 174.61 (lost 2.2lb - declared -2lb)
Week 7 start weight: 173.39 (lost 1.22lb - declared -1lb)
Week 8 start weight: 168.21 (lost 5.18lb - declared -5lb)
Week 9 start weight: 166.45 (lost 1.76lb - declared -2lb)
On these boards since week 1 to week 8 - 23.48lbs lost.
Since beginning my change of lifestyle (3 weeks before) - 34.39bs lost (Which I make over 2 stone in old money)
Loss this week -2lbs5 -

I will say the only thing good about sharing F&C with Mr Pepper is that he likes to say 'I'm a big lad I am'.... you have to be quick if sharingMFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538
