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.

Thank you. It's really not nice, glad you're feeling better.
Yesterday I only managed a bit of my dinner, roast chicken, mash, baby corn and carrots. It was all I had yesterday. This morning ive forced myself to eat 2 weetabix as wasn't feeling great (then ive had a nap).
Not sure what's for dinner today but I could do with looking for some different meals, even the kids are fed up with the same things.

Did someone say "Michelin Man"!

Went to Leeds and had a potter about, shared a ( not huge) slice of cake and had a water with it, got a few steps in to blow off the cake calories and on the way home and I've blown up and the Dolphins are back swimming in my stomach.

So back to protein counting tomorrow, and will weigh when I've de-bloated.

Can still get my new jeans on, but I'm very uncomfortable, will weigh ASAP, don't want a false reading.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm joining in with hopes of actually doing well.

I want to lose a full 14lbs this quarter, and 2" from the waist if poss.

Dry January and a change of meds should help. 

As the budget is mega tight I hope to do this by eating proper food, increasing veg intake, and reducing sugary snacks. I did get some mince pies in the last shop, but the sweet tooth got overloaded at Christmas.

The pool is safe from me until the snow threat is over, so for now Joe Wicks on YouTube is my nemesis!

0.5kg loss = 2.5lbs so far

No inch loss just yet.

I have my email from my council-based support come through today and an app to download and meetings to attend, which will hopefully help. I don't have my phone back yet though, and the courier says it hasn't even arrived at the repair shop yet. Will try the web...

I did not go for a walk or do a workout today - just about not aching from Saturday's exertions.
