    Well done KK, I bet the steps are helping. I always feel better in myself when I move more.

    They are even if only psychologically. I don’t feel quite so defeated as I usually do at this time of year 😊

    Well done on the weight loss and moving more.

    i haven’t bought food at work, ive had loads of fruit and veg, no biscuits / sweet treats at all. The school walk is hit and miss with the weather being so awful. I’ve been swimming x2 this week, no where near the gym, so need to improve on that. 

    Overall I am quite pleased with the healthy eating, but need to exercise more 😊

    That's great progress there.  It's hard to walk to school when it's miserable, cold and icy.

    Half a pound off for me too, pleased with that given how little I have moved due to being ill.

    Bravo! 👏 All that vegetation battling and ladder climbing is paying off! 😉 Thank your cats for their training tips! 😂

    Well done on the weight loss @redofromstart

    I haven’t moved for the last couple of days as have a horrible respiratory virus, Yesterday I didn’t even feel hungry ( so definitely ill 😂) 

    I bought some new tailored trousers online for work, but they are a bit tight, so my next challenge is to fit into them…
