A 1 lb increase for me this time.
Still, proportionately, OK in relation to overall quarter's target.

I am back to 1lb down today so hope I can maintain that or improve it for next weigh day on Monday.

I'm STS this week. I'm doing longer runs as my 10k race approaches, so I need to eat enough for energy! The heat is not helping 😂. I am definitely getting fitter and improving strength though.

I’ve lost 2 lb this having no snacks is definitely working and I think my thyroid meds are back on track with losing a bit of weight I don’t know but what ever it is it’s working at the moment

1/2lb on for me. I'm going to stay with my friend who lives near the coast. She is very hospitable, and these visits turn into an all inclusive holiday with almost unlimited food and drink. 😋 Goodness knows what I will weigh when I get home.

1 lb down for me ! More water seems to be a good thing.

thanks for the weigh ins guys I hope you all had a good weekend, Izzy you are going great guns this quarter 👏
I'm blaming the cooler weather for eating 'wrong' food this weekend so I'm going to try and behave the next couple of days before Wednesday scale day!

Starting today!
Yesterday I ate:
2 poached eggs plus smoked salmon on toast
4 pineapple tarts
1 large piece of chocolate cake (at an open garden afternoon)
1 milky bar
2 cinnamon buns
Cheese and onion rolls and chicken sandwiches (world cup viewing)
Half a full size M and S boxed cake.
Binge eating at its finest. A very stressful year so far and this will be why I was 15 stones 10 during my last appointment.
No idea what I weigh now so I will have to set up the Wii fit board.
