Welcome back Penny you can say what want on here I have no problem if you door don't declare your starting weights 🙂
some lovely losses guys Bella fantastic loss 👏👏 I joined the STS club again I would like to see a loss this quarter, at least the large box of birthday chocolates are now gone 🫣 katiejo just a half on after a holiday is a success.
Have a great holiday Cranky
Jenny there is a poem by Philip Larkin which I can't put all the first line due to language! It's called 'This be The Verse' and starts
They !!!! you up, your mum and dad
They may not mean to, but they do
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you .............
It reminds me so much of my parents especially my mum, almost until the day she died she would greet you with adverse comments about your weight and appearance and then nag and nag you to have some crumble or cake or biscuits etc etc etc asking why don't you want it are you ill?Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin6 -

Another Friday closer to holidays. I'll record a STS this week as I'm away from my digital scales. Away with work was hard, but lots of walking meant calories in = calories out. Lots of gardening last weekend too!
Mixed week emotions wise, so trying not to let that derail me. Overall I've been feeling motivated and perky, so musn't let other people get me down.
I have been running. No workouts though, which I need to restart for improving strength.
Hope y'all had a good week, nice weekend to look forward to now :-)4 -
I remembered - another 1 lb off for me please @Brambling. I won't be saying that in a weeks time 😁5

Hi everyone. I know I am late but could I join you please. I managed to lose 6lb over the last 2 months. I am now 11st 13lb so have kick started but now I need more motivation to keep going I want to loose just under 2 stone. My target by the end of the year is 10st 2 lbs. We have a big year next year. 70th birthdays and 50th wedding anniversary so have booked a 5 week Caribbean cruise in January. I have been doing 2 - 3 hours physical exercise for the last 3 weeks
One hr walking neighbours dog and the rest of the time gardening. Also trying to walk and bus more and use the car less. Not actually a diet just eating healthier with no snacks.A lifestyle change.
Could you it me down for 6lb target by the end of June please
You guys are an inspiration

A disappointing STS for me yesterday Brambling - I thought I'd done really well (apart from the bread pudding 😬)

I maintained this week 😡. I’m so annoyed as I tried SP meals. 🤞 for a loss this coming week.***Dont save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving***5
