    Apologies. I seem to have missed a week.

    I've managed to lose 3 and 1/2 .

    Been told by the doctor's surgery that they want me to submit blood pressure readings over the next week. So pull out the spreadsheet I started a couple of years back where I also occasionally noted my weight.

    18 pounds down since January 2023!! A billion more to go of course but I'm pleased to see the definite progress.

    A l lb loss since last week's report (but that had been a 1 lb gain).

    So overall no change since Brambling last produced the list before her holiday.

    @Brambling STS for me this week and last week when I forgot to post. I don't feel I am eating that much but still can't lose any.

    I've put 2lbs on after a lovely holiday week with friends. We were out and about a lot but I ate more than usual and meal times were all over the place! Back to normal eating and exercise routines from tomorrow so hopefully I'll lose a bit soon.

    Will weigh myself tomorrow. Imagine if I have lost nothing, after 4 weeks on 800 calories a day!
