    Some lovely losses this week well done 👏👏

    sorry you've had a bad week Sue I hope thinks will get better with your few day away. 

    Thanks for the correction Ginger 🙂 I managed to  are your target 124 and removed the wrong digit 

    I braved the scales this morning and surprised myself with a 2lb loss 😁 coming back off holiday and being good straight away must have paid off 🤔 I'm hoping one good thing from this heat will be a lack of appetite over the next few days (I'll pretend there aren't magnums in the freezer!) 🤫

  • Woohooo! 3lb loss for me please @Brambling. Last Friday I was 12 lbs over, now just another 9 lbs to go 🤣 It's mainly water weight I think, as I'm definitely less bloated. My stats should show I started off with 7lbs to lose, gained 5lbs overall, and now lost 3lbs. 

    I have so far managed daily yoga, a Joe Wicks 20 min workout most days, a couple of runs and lunchtime walks to reach my daily step target. Making the most of the beautiful weather. I'm worn out 🤣 I've kept to my calorie goal which I think is the key. No booze since Saturday and at least 2 ltrs of water every day. I've batch cooked loads of healthy calorie counted meals which are in the freezer, so moneysaving as well 👍

    Well done on the weightlosses! Hope you all get to enjoy the weekend :-)

  • 1.5 lb Off for me please.  Well done on all the losses, hope you had a good holiday Brambling. 

    The household is now off holiday mode, we had our fish and chips, the chippy was an award winner apparently and it was terrible, the fish was not fresh, and it was all greasy... I suppose it's one way to ensure you don't overeat. 

    Hopefully the extra sunshine is going to motivate us all a bit, have a good week all.
