    Well done Pixie I know it's disappointing when the scales are mean to us but remember a pound a week is 3.5 stone a year 🙂
    Thank you @Brambling, saw a photo of me from the weekend and I look huge (to me). Need to keep plodding on! Well done everyone for any weight loss, it's so hard when it's cold and wintery! 

    Positives: I went for a lovely 3 mile walk today in the sunshine. I have (so far) kept to my calorie goal today. I have sorted a pile of things to go to the clothes bank, and dried washing outside.  

    Negatives: I've got a headache and feeling tired, so trying not to snack or have a Drink 🍸to cheer me up. I don't think I'll manage yoga today :-(

    still STS which I'll have to put up with.  Meanwhile OH who doesn't weigh himself (scales might shriek) has been sorting through old clothes due to having lost an inch at the waist.

    Managed to squeeze in a 2 hour walk today, the sun was shining intermittently and it felt like spring had arrived.  Afterwards I worked away in the garden for 3 hours so I've had a productive day off work.  However tonight I'm feeling a bit stiff so I think a soak in the bath is on the cards

    Hi

    Well done everyone. 

    Weighday -1.5lb please Brambling. 

    Keeping to the same focus this week I think. Will to try to include a salad in the meal plan, I’m including lots of cooked veggies but struggling with raw. I got the rebounder out but didn’t set it up so that’s a must do tomorrow.
