    First post holiday weigh in. Unfortunately +1lb but at least it isn't any worse. Had lots of fish, fruit and veg while away and walked a lot but also one or two less healthy dishes.

    It’s a STS for me this week, it’s been stressful with the house sale, and I have reached for chocolate 😬

    But the weather is improving, and I’m really determined to finally get on top of this!

    Ah! I didn't have any Madeira cake. I did try another local cake and biscuits but not in large amounts (except the one day when we went for afternoon tea at Reid's Hotel). We didn't eat anything that evening.

    @Brambling
    I'm afraid you must have missed a previous from me (or I didn't hit the post button???) but I had lost 5 lbs after returning from my holiday so only 7 now to get to my goal...Admittedly the lost 5 was a bit of a miracle in my opinion but not one to be ignored!!!!  
    (don't know how you keep up with us all frankly - you do a great job!!!)
