I've managed to drop 1.5lbs over the last fortnight, happy with that. Couple more walk/runs this week, plus some 10min youtube cardio/strength workouts, and yoga. I'm trying to up my fruit and veg intake too.
Hoping now January is over and the days are lighter motivation will improve!

ok, weigh in done for the month….
Ive lost 10Ibs!! 😲
Dead chuffed about that. Technically I started 27/12 so its nearly 6 weeks and will obviously include post christmas water weight but still a really good start.
I dont think Ive even been in a particularly big deficit TBH, its just I have been very consistent with my diet and exercise for most of the month. Thats what Im going to aim for next month….consistency. Hopefully I can lose another 4Ib to take it up to a stone.😁

Good morning,
January in the cranky household has been a bit rocky. I haven't lost anything but I haven't gained anything either. My weight has been down a pound then up a pound then…….and so on. I've just fired up my MFP account to se if tracking my food helps at all. Not buying junk food and biscuits would probably be even more helpful 🙄
