hey!
1 and a half Ibs lost this week.
I havent gone back to counting calories and am still intuitively eating which seems to be working. Trying to get back into exercising abit more, pilates for today!
When it comes to food apparently 'intuitive me' likes hot chocolate and eating most of her calories really late in the day!5 -
Well, last week was a disaster! I was ill at the beginning of the week with a cold. I lost my appetite, and didn't move much for three days. Appetite then came back with a vengence. Weird cravings for tinned spaghetti on toast 🤣. Sadly I didn't fancy any of my healthier meal options from the freezer, or cooking anything.
Anyway, I made up for it and some. Friends came to stay at the weekend and we ate out etc.
So after a week of not doing much and eating too much I'm up 2lbs. I'm still lacking motivation to do much.
Back to it...4 -
Down 1/2lb, which is annoying because I don't feel like I'm doing badly. I obviously need to keep a closer track on what I'm eating, I think I've been slowly letting the snacks increase which is probably slowing my progress 😔4

STS For me, (It's really a quarter off.) One or maybe two more weigh ins for me this year, it will; be nice to get off the 'weight-loss machine' for a while as it can take over a bit.
Have a good week everyone.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538

I hope you are fully recovered Pixie 🙂 I always want carbs (the bad ones) when I've been ill
well done on every one for braving the scales this week 👏👏Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin3 -

@Foofoopuppy still a loss 🎉3 -
Just a quick drop in to say I've lost -0.5lbs this past week @Brambling. At least it's going in the right direction as you always say.
I upped my fiber and water intake last week and I think that helped. Long may it continue!
