  • I'll complete the hat trick following the two most recent posts! STS again, proper stagnation. 
    Done some things really well, others need more work.
    Really really want a loss next Sat.
  • Me too STS - very lacklustre effort this week.

    Good morning everyone xx 

    Monday morning weigh in revealed -3 lbs for me this week. 

    Only 1 lb more to reach my 1st Quarter Target. I'm finding the the thought of resetting to zero for the next quarter a little off-putting. An updated signature might solve that I think. 🤔

    Down 0.5lbs. Which seems like I'm going slowly (I am) but what I am actually pleased about is breaking the cycle of losing and gaining the same 1-3lbs over the past couple of months. 

    I am seeing the scale go down and stay down, rather than bouncing up again and having to lose it again. 

    Hopefully I'll start seeing proper progress again soon, but I must keep on with no snacking and trying to control my evening meals.

    Well done to those who are seeing progress and approaching or hitting their targets.
