    I told a colleague about the smashed scales and she said "That sounds like the sort of unlikely domestic accident that occasionally makes it into tabloid stats!" When we report losses (or unfortunate gains), do you amend the chart with the  figures and symbols?

    Tell them to stop reading the D Mail😁

    I amend the chart but not on the front page I update as we go along and about once a week add asa new post, if that makes sense

    Well done Candiii a great start  :) i have rounded you up to 8.5lb on the chart

    Nice and steady and consistent General as usual  :)

    Ditty from your 8/16 I'm assuming you are fasting for 16 hours after dinner? 

    Katejo I have noticed new scales never make you thinner!  just avoid kicking these  :)
    Yes @brambling as I am mainly loosing weight for health this seems like an added benefit and I try and compact my eating into 2,3 meals instead of 3 or 4!. Didn't go too well yesterday, but it's a start.
    Today I'm bringing falafels and a sandwich for lunch!

    Ok thanks. I don't think she reads the D Mail. Not her sort of literature  :).
