Hello guys,

Weigh in today. I lost 2 lb. All good I know but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed it wasn't another 4lb lol. But the positive side is my husband mentioned I look different so I am losing weight and its noticable and thats a 6lb loss in two weeks.

anyway thats all for now

 

[pippalata]

That's brilliant! 4lb a week isn't really sustainable. 1-2lbs is a good heathy rate to lose. Well done!!

Today was an off day I kind of slacked a bit as weigh in day. Didn't really enjoy it though lol. I have taken photos today to motivate me so I can see how my body changes even if I'm not necessarily losing weight

Thinking I might try and go on a walk tomorrow before work. Will see how I feel in the morning

Over and out

 

[pippalata]

Have you taken measurements?

 

[bexi100]

Well done hun. x

 

[believer77]

Thanks bexi!

Pippa not yet. I need to find my tape measure lol. Not sure where I last saw it.

The other thing I managed to do yesterday is drinking a reasonable amount of water. I managed 1.5 litres over the day which is a big thing for me.

Hopefully today will go well

[believer77]

i had some crap news last night. Surprisingly the best thing about it is I havent' turned to food.
the bad thing is I am struggling to eat, I literally struggle to get anything down.

Breakfast was couscous porridge took about two hours to eat. And just trying to get a banana down now. I hope this doesn't affect my weighin tomorrow. Hopefully once my head is a bit clearer I will be able to eat something decent..
