    At least you braved the scales Lianne which is more than I did!

    Have a good weather hopefully you also have the sunshine so can enjoy some salads

    Another 2lb loss please.  Am relieved that the excess weight is coming off fairly quickly, which I think might be because it was all gained since Christmas. Would like to increase my goal to 10lbs by the end of June please.

    It's a lovely sunny day and I'm spending it pottering about in the garden. Another 0.5lb off this week, thanks

    1lb Off for me please, Brambling.

    Given myself a talking too, reminded myself a 1lb loss in 4 weeks and 3 of these have been on holiday is actually quite good.  I'm trying to eat more fresh food so salads, slaw (lemon, no dressing) and I'm enjoying the Strawberries now they are back in season.

    Need to keep telling / reminding myself this is a permeant change to my eating habits, I am enjoying my food more.

    Have a good week all.

    STS for me, according to the digital scales. On holiday this week, but plenty of walking and exercise planned :-) Hope you are all managing to enjoy some sunshine!

    Good weigh ins everyone 👏👏

    SanguineGina well done on passing your original target and losing half stone 🏅 

    1lb loss for me I can relate to Jenny as being not happy for the first two months of the challenge 🫣
