    Morning all,

    Very pleased to report in a -2lbs loss this week. This means I’ve lost 2 stone since the start of the year!


    I experienced the first signs of perimenopause over 5 years ago when I put on weight, I’ve tried a few times since then to lose it but couldn’t. Being accountable has really worked for me, so a huge thank you to you all x

    Yet another STS for me.

    Despite the ups and downs since 1 April, I'm where I started. And only two Thursday weigh-ins till the end of the quarter. 🙁

    Sunday digital scales weigh-in... down 3lbs so weight has settled down post hols, yay!

    I haven't done loads of workouts/running though. I did a weights and legs workout and couldn't walk properly for a couple of days lol! We did do a lovely long walk yesterday but the hills mean my legs ache today. I'm behind on my running training so need to get back to it this week. When my legs eventually stop aching 🙄

    Unfortunately +2lbs for me this week but I have been away at a conference followed by a mini break in Glasgow so no surprise really. It could have been worse. I had lost a bit before going away.
