Good morning, 

I have a loss of 0.5 lbs to report in total for the last two weeks. At least it's off and not on. Keep at it people - I'm also sick of seeing "move more, eat less" as a response to press articles. If it was that easy.....

I must get back to eating properly again and not snacking. I have no excuse the school hols have been over for 2 weeks and all the rubbish food ( snacks) have gone from the house.

STS for me this week 🥺

Said by people who have never had any real weight issues, (more than a couple of stone to lose).  I've read a paper by a university who said this is a load of old crud, many other factors involved and it's just something people find acceptable to say instead of calling someone fat and lazy.

i was once rather condescendingly asked by a not slim asthma nurse if I knew why I was overweight (I think she may have used the fat word!) I was more than a little sarcastic with her. It didn't help that when I did lose four stone rather than saying well done all she told me was I needed to lose more. Luckily she had left before I put it all on again 

About 25 years ago I met a friend of a friend who on our first  meeting was shocked when I won at trivial pursuit because she was 'surprised I was intelligent because of my size'  😡

That's dreadful.@brambling. I am so sorry that you experienced such rude and unprofessional people. They should mind then own business.

@Brambling. STS for me this week please. Had really hoped to go back down but no luck.  Thank you

Hello

What an odd and rude thing to say to you Brambling, obviously a sore loser. 

Weighday -1.5lbs please.

Very pleased as my chocolate consumption has crept back up and I didn’t get much movement in this week.

Hi all, going for STS this week, as I'm away from my digital scales. I've really struggled this week feeling cold and tired. I've been so hungry too. I'm not eating any less than normal, or using more calories, just the usual season change blues have kicked in without the sun.

I have managed a walk most days, but no weights workouts or runs yet. In all honesty I could just go to bed and hide for a week 😂

Next week's meal plan is greek yogurt with nuts and berries, and SOUP for lunch! Hopefully will fill me up and stop me snacking. I've started getting a bad gut reaction to porridge, or maybe I'm just noticing it more, so sadly my warm breakfast is a no go. Hoping the promised sunshine appears at the weekend to recharge me! 

Hope you all have a great weekend :-)
