    Thanks everyone so some lovely numbers and those with purple devils please don't be too hard on yourselves  :)  1lb loss for me, I had my covid and flu jabs on Saturday and haven't felt my best, achy limbs meant not much proper cooking so i was please to get a loss

    I hope every one has a good week 
    I am due to have my combined flu and COVID jabs next Thursday. They were due this week but postponed because of a dance performance which I am in tomorrow and Monday. I don't want to feel ill for them. 
  • Hello

    Weigh day, I’m on hols so no scales, a conservative guess is around +1/2 stone!

    It’ll soon come off once I go back low carb.

    Hello all I am rather surprised by my loss of -2lb, I've had a rather busy week though so not so much time for snackage I guess. 
    I have 2 more weeks of work then away for a week, so trying to get ahead a little before then.

    Well done everyone I’ve lost-2lbs it’s really helping no snacking although it’s coming off slowly but snacking is definitely my downfall although I must admit I can easily eat a packet of biscuits I just haven’t bought any and usually when strictly is on I have crisps and chocolate but I’ve just bought the hubby one bag of crisps and I must admit I’m feeling better keep up the good work
