    Good morning.  -0.5lb please.
    I need to look at tummy exercises. I can see/feel the weight moving from everywhere else, I can feel my hips (just), my jeans are sagging in places... but my tummy is still huge! Im thinking some of it is probably my muscles after having 5 kids so need to work on tightening those I think to help with the tummy.

    @Brambling A small success at last! I have lost the 1/2 lb which I put on in Italy and a further 1/2 lb so -1lb this week. I am just below my starting weight for this quarter. Recording it today in case I put it back on by tomorrow!  :)
    Now back to 11 st 11.

    A stay the same or maintain at 17 stone 2 for me as of today.
    I'm finding it tough to get into eating better and healthier.
    Slowly I'm hoping to get there.
    I'd like to lose a couple of pounds though by the time this quarter ends.
