Well ... A failure for me so far
I started at 119.0, went down to 117.5, and this morning I'm back to 119.0.
Yes, I have had some 'naughty' days and it looks like they have come back to bite me!5 -

I'm also going to be more proactive in tracking what I'm stuffing my face with eating and menu planning which I'm doing and then not necessary following
Have a good week3 -
Evening all. I weighed myself yesterday but forgot to record it here. STS. At this point I’ll take it. I ate a lot of food delivery last week due to being under lots of deadlines and stress.@Foofoopuppy I think I may take a page out of your book and start tracking my food again in My Fitness Pal. The reality helps.3

-2lbs for me but that's more to do with being poorly for the past week and not eating for a couple of days I think! 🤦♀️ Thankfully I think I've finally turned the corner and I'm starting to feel better so hopefully I'll be able to get my head back in the game this week (actually, getting my head to function at all would be a bonus!! 🙄😂)DNF: £708.92/£1000

Had my weigh in today as busy yesterday - STS 😔
I knew I hadn't been so on top of my diet last week, but hadn't realised it was so bad. I think it was impacted as well because I skipped a couple of gym sessions, so that's a lesson. At least I didn't get the takeaway, otherwise it would probably have been an increase!
So back on the wagon this week to see if I can lose enough to hit my goal.4 -
1.5 LB Off please Bramling.
Late to the party this week, looking after Mr Pepper, bonus was managed to get a Dr and Consultant appointment all within a couple of hours, via private medical cover, it does gripe me that I have over 4 weeks for a nurse's appointment.
Bikini bottom problem has been resolved, shorts, the very short leg type that Italian men like to strut around the pool in.

-—1lb please Brambling
The downside of not having scales is that ,not being able to go last week ,I had no idea how I was doing !
Happy with any loss1 -
Well done all the losers and STSers 👏👏 I managed a 1/2lb lost this week, not great but at least in the right direction 🙄 it's probably just as well I dropped the crumble on the kitchen floor
Jenny sorry Mr Pepper hasn't been well hopefully he's on the mend a d good idea re the shorts 🙂
