First official weigh in - 11st 3lbs.
Technically a 1lb drop from my weigh in last month, so a good start.
However I am working from home today which is usually a big struggle with snacks! I will have to remember that I've started with a loss and that I don't want to put it back on.
Good luck to everyone for the next quarter!4 -
I'm in please @Brambling :-) I will try for 9lbs, although I'm going to focus on fitness and eating better overall. I need to work on my mental health and coping better, ie not immediately reaching for wine and snacks when I feel low / fed up. They do work though! 🙄
Hope everyone has a good new quarter!5 -

I've had a bad couple of days - nothing too drastic but enough to make me annoyed with myself 🤦♀️ I watched a programme last night about weight loss journeys and one of the participants had been doing really well then went to see her family for a couple of months and put on weight.
She then said something which has really resonated with me:
'It's the small compromises you keep making over time that start to add up and get you to a place you don't want to be'
I know that I'm horribly guilty of that and if I really want to achieve my goals then there can be no compromises - that quote was my 'light bulb' moment and I will remind myself of it daily.'Happiness is not a destination but the journey you walk every day'

Only a measly 1/2 lb off for me this week. Still, better off than on. 4

Lost 1Ib this week!
Think my current obsession for picky teas with rice cakes, hummus and crudites is paying off. Its all healthy low cal stuff but I get to nibble away in front of the telly.
