Happy New Year!
Put me down for 7lbs please Brambling.
Back to moving more and eating less!3 -
Hi all
I would like to lose 10lb this quarter please. I have previously joined and rejoined and rejoined SW but I never stick to it, so I'm hoping that if I join this group instead I will! I'm currently at 177lb.
I will weigh on Thursdays as that's my WFH day so I have more time in the mornings.
Thanks4 -
Happy New Year all!
Im aiming for 7Ibs this quarter.
End of last year was a total disaster, I went majorly off the rails and now feel like a bowling ball.
TBH Im not going to be concentrating on weight loss this month though. I want to try and get back to healthy habits without worrying about weight. So increasing activity and getting back to my vegan wholefood diet (which is what seems to work best for me).
I'll probably still be back weekly though for moral support!

Well the scales this morning weren't quite as scary as I thought they'd be, probably helped by a week of flu. Will probably stick to my monday morning weigh in and just miss this one coming.LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

Welcome everyone newbies and returners 👋
Just remember this is a new start and we should draw a line under last year I have a long ruler and a thick marker pen, I need a solid line 🖊️ 📏
I've gathered together unopened Christmas goodies (I tried force feeding guests last night!) and will take them into the volunteering office tomorrow food soon disappears there 😁
I've stocked up on healthy proteins and vegetables and have menu planned until the weekend so after hospital visiting this afternoon I'll tackle one for next week and write a shopping list.
Good luck and a happy and healthy new year to all you losers. ⚖️Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin9 -
Can I possibly take part again? I've found the last quarter's thread very helpful, and although I don't want to lose any more, I would like to continue for at least another quarter to help me maintain. I'd like to be the same weight as I am now in three months, so my target would be STS.5

Hope you're recovering ok! Three weeks on and I'm still pretty tired, but definitely starting to feel more energetic. Sadly my appetite has returned now lol.charlies_tribe said:Well the scales this morning weren't quite as scary as I thought they'd be, probably helped by a week of flu.
