Pleased to record a 1.5lb loss this week - only half a pound down from starting weight, but I'll take it!

Hi I was wondering if it is possible for me to join mid quarter? I was doing quite well but have been on steroids for the past month, which have caused a gain. I’ve been told that I’ll be on them for around 6 months, so I need to get a grip and being part of this lovely supportive group would be really helpful. I think my sim until the end of March will be 5 kilos.

I seem to be solidly down 3 lbs.  Have tipped down into the 9.x zone a few times recently but then go back into a low 10.x.  (if that makes sense - basically I don't look at the stones just the pounds that are between the stone marks.)

Quite pleased with this - trying to fathom how I'm making it happen.  I know that OH is trying to cut down so that impacts on me too as he thinks that I should have the same size servings he has.  I'm drumming it into his head that I need only 2/3 to 3/4 of what's on his plate and I think he's beginning to see that too.  

As always trying to have salads a couple of times a week.  I'll have a salad when he has chips kinds thing (admittedly some of his chips accidently fall on my plate somehow...) Consciously also trying to get away from bread as I think my tum is rebelling against it.  That's more difficult though for some meals.

Hi Smudgy - I've only been on  a few weeks but I'm finding its really focusing me so I'm sure you'll find it helps you, too. 

That's a lovely loss, Brie.

A STS for me this week I would have liked more but it's not a gain, I didn't menu plan this week so will start that again tomorrow as it does help

First month check-in: starting weight of 77.3kg down to 76.3kg, starting body fat of 21.1% down to 20.9%.

Not too happy with it. I have not been consistent with workouts or healthy eating. Need to be consistent with weight training, cardio and cutting out sweets. I might start logging No Junk Days, Weight Days, and Cardio Days over the next month.

Morning all. 

Food today:

1/2 avocado on toast
Chickpea and Apricot tagine and quinoa with mixed beans
 
Snacks - yogurt with peaches, fruit, stilton with celery. 

Trying my best not to overdo the HM bread which is delicious!  Time will tell on Monday weigh in if the slightly larger slices will effect the scales.    I must say the new Tefal bread maker is amazing and produces a lovely rise on the loaf.

Good morning  😊

I managed to remember to weigh myself this morning and it's another 1 lb loss for me please Brambling. This is going way better than I thought it would 😁
