    My digital scales have broken so I'm going to have to use the old ones, which I know did not match up very well with the new ones. Quite annoying. I will weight tomorrow morning if I remember before work. I've been away a lot recently due to having a poorly relative in hospital, so haven't been keeping track, but don't feel like I've gone too far backwards....I hope!

      Ooops, according to the new scales I have 0.5lbs gain. Not overly worried at this stage as could be the scales, but gives me a new bench mark

        Hurray! A 1lb loss this week! I've realized I've managed to lose a stone since January. 1/2 stone left to go. Still feeling motivated which is unusual for me :-) 

        Hope everyone has had a good week, feeling better and not too 🥵? 

        Big holiday next week. I will try not to go mad on the buffet and booze, and aim to swim and walk daily. I expect to put on some weight.

        There's a gym as well, but I'll see how I feel... I'm not a fan of gyms. I prefer running outside and workouts from youtube rather than treadmills and weight machines. Think it'll be too hot to run outside. I've struggled running in the heat we've had here! 

        Hope you're all keeping well and keeping plodding on! x

        Jumped on the scales yesterday, 2 and a half loss, got weighed this morning and it is just a half..... Oh well a half is ok, hopefully I will get the 2 next week.

        Have a lovely holiday @Pixie_Cosmo.

        @SIRENS and @SanguineGina great loss.

        Have a good week all.
