Lots of lovely numbers again
and well done on getting your stone and hitting your target already Frith, do you want me to increase it
Izzy you can do this
Moneyowen i agree trying to lose weight with a dodgy thyroid isn't easy and can be frustrating when after a weeks of trying really hard nothing has come off or you've gained weighti do then feel if all you manage to do is STS it could be worst

I am quite excited, even if I know it is only water weight still that I am loosing, but I am declaring an other 2lb lost. Not a bad start to this challenge, I am almost where I thought I would be at the start of this quarter, so getting ready to keep going.
Congrats to the big loosers who just keep on hitting their targets and every body else who is hanging in there.
I feel like a bit of a veteran on here, but for a good reason, I am still a lot lighter than I was when I first joined, but my body keeps reverting back to comfort eating when I get stressed. When I stopped smoking years ago it took 5 years before I finally stopped completely (had kids). I think weight loss is similar, it is not over and done with when you loose the weight, it will often keep try to sneak back on when you're not looking. It's all of the other habits and reflexes that need to change as well, to keep it off.
Happy Tuesday, I'll revert back to weekly check ins after today.Isa help to buy: 1000/3000 33%
