    Post covid lack of appetite continues so I'm just going with it. Goodness knows I've got enough reserves. So it seems unfair to not be trying at all but still losing a bit. Clocked this morning I'm down another 4 pounds. Of course now that I've said it I'll likely put it back on.

    Good week for me. 2Ibs down.

    A small success for me of -1 lb to mark the 1st day of retirement 😀. Below 12st for the first time for a couple of months but I am off to Spain on Saturday so I don't know how long it will last 😂
