  • Hi everyone
    Reporting a 2lb loss this week (weighed on Saturday).  Didn't weigh the previous week but have lost the 2 that I put on which I am pleased with.  Still tinkering with how I manage my calories but overall pleased with my progress. 
    Some great losses on here and progress made in other areas.  @catz4m8z - that's a brilliant weight loss overall.  I have a lot to lose so am encouraged to see your progress.   How did you achieve that, if you don't mind me asking?
    Hope the week goes well for everyone.

    L xx

    I am going to say STS this week because I am not 100% sure. I fluctuated down and up again during the week and can't remember the exact weight recorded last week. There could be a 1lb error. On the one hand I have been trying the recipes in the Fast 800 book and had salad on Wednesday evening and home made soup yesterday. On the other hand I have done less  walking this week due to persistent wet weather and an annoying slight sore throat/cold.

    Lost half a pound this week.

    Actually surprised because I havent been exactly 'good' with my eating, def had a few snacky moments this last week.
    But I have kept up my exercise and mostly eaten healthy.
    So on the one hand I did eat an entire big bar of Green and Blacks chocolate one night (it was flippin' lovely! :D) but on the other hand one of my runs was 45 minutes (and I only started running a few months ago! :o).....
    Im gonna pretend that the calorie maths evens out.....ahem :*
  • Gone on a food bender this last week or so, I could blame low mood or stress/anxiety or anything tbh, but the fact is I haven't cared how badly I've eaten.

    If I weigh myself I know that will do more harm than good, the next 7 to 10 days are going to be hard mentally for me for a number of reasons so I won't add to that with a huge gain in black and white.

    Next weigh day will be Sat 8th June, my last day as a 51 year old. Definite case of damage limitation!

    Good luck for the next week everybody.
