    Morning all xx

    Monday morning weigh in revealed + 1 lb. I've lost my momentum since the wedding. But I'm not finished yet. Shoulders back. Chin up. And breathe....

    Another half a Ib lost for me. 
    I feel like I've reached a good place with my diet at the moment.....although i imagine Christmas will derail me abit!
  • Yet another 1.5lbs on... struggling with lack of a proper kitchen, so I'm just going for the easy option.

    Looking at my weight trends, I definitely put more on at this time of year. I'm just tired, drained and hungry, and want to hide inside vegging instead of getting out for a walk in the cold and rain. I'm taking Vit D hoping it will help! Hoping a lazy weekend will recharge me 🤞

    Morning all xx 

    Monday morning weigh in revealed -0.5 lb.

    I'm basically hovering at the 'I lost three and a half stones this year so I could dance at my son's wedding on 9th November' mark. And boy did I dance 💃. 

    As long as I don't gain I'm OK with hovering until the New Year. But it would be nice to chip away at some more chubbage before then. Reading the thread I think most of us have gone into hibernation mode. 

    Love to all.
