    Hi all it's 1 lb off for me today, happy with that after a lucky dip first week. 
    Continuing a flexible 8/16 often eat dinner late, so not quite working, but it keeps me aware of the benefit of actually being hungry before I eat!
    Well done to every body else.

    I knew I had been doing badly - comfort eating, birthdays, holidays and so have been avoiding the scale. I am up 1 kg. 

    If nothing else, I have done better with exercise.

    Good afternoon all. Hope all is well 🙂

    Here to report a 1lb gain. I made some bad food choices that I won't make again and hopefully we'll bounce back with a loss next week

    Starting weight - 306.2 lbs
    Last week's weight - 294 lbs
    This week's weight - 295 lbs
    Total loss - 11.2lbs
    Common sense is not common

    Small progress is still progress

    Pleased to be STS instead of increasing but know that this is completely down to acquiring a need (aka desire) to have a bit of lunch which inevitably ends up being a sandwich of some sort.
