Morning all xx
Monday morning weigh in revealed.... that the scales need new batteries and would not give a reading no matter how much I fiddled with them. To be fair they've been telling me they were Lo for weeks.
Batteries have now been purchased, but not yet installed. I've been feeling more motivated recently🤞so I'm going to leave it this week and get weighed next Monday - hoping to report a healthy loss.
@Brambling - you made me laugh: picking up the cat to check that the scales weren't stuck 😂.

Down 1.5Ibs for me this week @Brambling
Very happy with that as I had a couple of days off my normal routine but I feel like I picked healthy choices/portion sizes for the most part.
Getting down to that annoying last half stone now though, it just refuses to budge!8 -

Good morning a half pound gain for me @Brambling
I'm pleased with that as have had two weeks with lots of nights out not to mention utter confusion over what to eat on a low carb diet and a few days of throwing my hands up in despair and just ditching it. Have heard a dietitian who works with low carb diets say only change 1 meal a day to low carb for a few weeks so you get used to different ideas for that meal before trying anything else. So currently just low carb breakfast,normal lunch and sort of low carb dinners. Lunch ideas for work are what really made me come undone so this gives me a bit more time the sort things out. Have a good week everyone.Weight loss goal 6/7lbs for first quarter
