Weighed in today at 17st 5.4lb with for my height of only 5ft3 puts my bmi well above what I want. I also have various health issues inc high BP that will reduce from losing weight. I'm putting the number because I know sometimes when you're at a higher weight it can be hard to feel like maybe noone else is in quite the same boat as you, especially when the quarterly targets are a Stone or so. So if anyone else feels even a little bit better now, I'm really glad 😊 
Will probably weigh on Saturdays,  I think that will work best with my schedule and limits the weekend damage each week!

Preparing for NYD...

Meal plan done for the week. A mix of Pinch of Nom, Jamie's One Pound Wonders and random sensible ideas. OH has asked for a selection of pot noodles which might seem a little at odds with a healthy eating plan but it is so he can avoid the pies and pastries van at work and still feel like he's indulging. 

Will go shopping after I've washed my hair ready for tonight, last party! Then Dry January it is...

@wishus what is it about bloody pastry that makes it so hard to resist?! I love it too. My husband is going from working in a supermarket to driving prescriptions to people, and hoping that the lack of food exposure will help him

👋 Cazann 

You're ahead of me in the meal planning Wishus I need to eat my freezer down so will be planning around the contents later, if I liberate the small chicken in there it will be chicken all week so I'll probably plan that for the week after next 🤔

I'll be back in for Q1.  I didn't take part for Q4 as had reached a comfortable level (about 21 BMI I think).

However I was keeping check on eating and exercise via my own spreadsheet and had a technical problem during the quarter which meant I've lost track.  So that plus Christmas makes me pretty sure I'll need to adjust somewhat.  So I'll put a new battery in the bathroom scales and return tomorrow with a target for the quarter.

For free fitness classes - try ourparks.org.uk.  They do outdoor, indoor and online sessions.  I attend an indoors low impact class, mainly chair based (including using a chair for support if needed when doing some standing exercises).
