And, at 1.5 lbs in the first fortnight of this quarter, you are easily ahead of the rate you need to meet your quarter's target.Suffolksue said:-11/2 lbs for me too please Brambling

Good morning. Sorry I forgot to post last week but it was a STS so you didn't miss much. Ds had two exams last Friday so I was busy being moral support and mum's taxi service. This week's loss is -1.5 lbs so I feel that I've redeemed myself a little.8

Really struggled to eat well this week. I was ill over the weekend and my insides have felt awful for days. Very nauseous and indigestiony :-( So I've been eating bland, beige food to try and sort myself out. I haven't felt like exercise either. The constant rain hasn't helped!
I have put on 1/2 lb, but feeling better now so hopefully back to it!6 -
I'll report a 2lb loss - not weighed myself for a couple of days tbh but my blood pressure is normal again (wasn't THAT high but needed looking at).
Still got a lot of worry but I'm trying to look after myself better.8 -

And still got most of it left"

Great news about the blood pressure Hinchandrossi 👏
I hope you are feeling better Pixie

Good morning all xx
I decided that I wasn't going to get weighed this morning because I knew it wouldn't be a pleasant experience...... then bit the bullet anyway. And breathe...
Monday morning weigh in revealed +1.5 lbs
That's the result of Easter eggs, hot cross buns, and I'll treat myself to bread for Easter.
I now have two weeks in my new jobs under my belt, so still early days but I'm finding my feet.
Time to draw a sparkly line and get a grip.
