@catz4m8z, I'm not a meat / dairy eater, husband said I'd eat more vegetarian if it wasn't for him. I need to have 2 protein drinks a day to hit target; both the app and dietitian gave me the same figure to hit; it has been a new learning curve.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538

I weighed in at 11st 8lb .I am + 1lb this week. That pound is being really tricky. It's been on and off for the last few weeks. Anyway no more Grandchildren sitting in September so I am back on the diet properly. At least I have only put on 1lb over the last few weeks.craft stash 2023 =161, 2024 = 119 2025 = £35.96 spent, 144 made and 5 mended,

Must be something in the air - I stayed the same this week too. I need to make an effort to eat nutritionally sound food instead of rubbish!6

Oh note to self - don't write message and then start reading other pages as message will get lost.
It's a -1lb for me this week, which I am happy with after a week of eating well with friends and family. The holiday has included a lot of walking and swimming in the sea every morning, so a lovely break, but I was suspecting that the copious amounts of food had stuck though.
Remember to look after yourselves out there, and Brambling thanks for keeping this challenge running.

Sorry for lagging behind guys, I've hopefully caught up again, please shout if I've messed up.
i got on the scales for the first time in 7 weeks it wasn't pretty 🫣 Ive wiped my entry on the chart and I'm going to start from today. I realised today that my kitchen bin is full of wrappers and crisp packets etc all things I shouldn't have been stuffing my face with.Pixie I find as soon as the weather changes I want to eat, I blame it on my body thinking it's going to hibernate over winter.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin7 -
