    . . .

    I'll aim to weigh in on Wednesdays.

    So today's weight is 54.0 kg which converts to 8st 7lb.

    . . .
    So, first of the reports -
    This morning the scales said 54.5 kg which converts to 8st 8lb.
    So a one pound gain.

    Unfortunately +1.5lb this week. Not sure why so I delayed recording it until today but it hasn't changed. Very healthy home made carrot, lentil and leek soup yesterday and today so fingers crossed for next week.

    Evening all 🙂 it looks like a lot of gains to start the quarter myself included with a 1lb gain thanks to my weekend away. Well done to those of you who managed a loss 👏👏

    Katejo I've also made a healthy soup for lunches this week in the hope of a loss

    Another gain here, 1.5lbs. I was hoping for a sts, as calories in has been around calories out for the last ten days. I haven't been exercising as much though, and we had a very lazy weekend. Oh well. 

    We're eating out tonight with friends. I'll enjoy that, then make a real effort over the next week. It will be a busy weekend doing winter prep, like gardening and log chopping so hopefully that will help. 

    Just got to keep going! Hope y'all have a positive week!
