    Katejo I think the heat means we are all over the place.

    2lb loss for me this week 🙂

    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.
