Thanks guys 👏 and some 🫣
Roundtuit no hanging your head in shame allowed 🙂 as you say new week new start. I find I'm not good with wheat especially bread, unfortunately it doesn't stop me eating it 😕 one of my sisters is wheat intolerant and I think I may be the same. A couple of my brothers' grand children have celiac disease so I can't complain as it a lot more of a pain for them to deal with, at least now they are late teens/early twenties they understand and can manage their own diets.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin5 -
@Brambling STS for me again please. So frustrating but I can't get below this4

1/2 loss this week, so February has basically been a total stay the same. Considering the absolute rubbish I've eaten and the non existent workouts I've done, that's actually fine!
I got a free trial to the Deliciously Ella app yesterday so I'm going to plan some meals with that todayMake £2025 in 2025 #18 - £569.66/£2025

I'd like to make a start on this year please Brambling.
Hope everyone is well and pushing through one of the hardest months. I'm going to work through the comments for the first quarter, this should push me on.
Short version, illness has improved, I'm not as good / progressed as I would like, but better than I was. After being told I would see a DR at the consultant's clinic every 12 weeks, it's been once in 16 months! Have seen a snotty nurse a couple of times, which has not helped. Mr Pepper told me to book the private consultant today, hopefully this will give me a boost.
Anyway, my depression is starting to rear its ugly head even higher and after ordering myself swimwear and it being tight and getting on the scales and thinking oh pants it's time to get back to it.
So 7lb please Brambling.

Welcome back Jenny, you were missed 🙂 it sounds like your husband has the right idea if it gets you sorted
IzzyBee have a lovely holiday, I went to Northumberland for the first time two years ago and loved it, once my hip is replaced and I can do the 8+ hour drive I plan to go back
well done for losses / STSs and caeraugirl I think you are right, your body needs to adjust to the new plan.
I'm happy with a 2lb loss this week 😁Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin8 -
I have just calculated what I have put on in the last few weeks and its absolutely horrendous.
I've started SW again this week and should have a loss but I'm so angry at myself for getting into this physical state. My mental state is something I cannot control but I'm the biggest I have been for 7 or 8 years.
Yes I have a lot of worries and tbh I wonder if I'm somewhere near a breakdown at times the sheer amount of crying I do (I'm at it again now) but over eating isn't helping.
My BP has gone above the norm for the first time ever and I do feel very down but there is only me who can change it, I just don't feel I have any fight in me at times.
It will be a while until I get back to break even with my original 2025 weight but I suppose that has to be my first goal.
Sorry this is a bit me me me.
