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.

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!
