Well I lost 1.2lbs this week, taking me to 10st 5.8lbs, a total loss of 1st 4.4lbs in 8 weeks!
It's bad as I'm a bit disappointed as wanted to hit 10st 5lbs exactly but I only have myself to blame after 3 days off track at the start of the week.
I have 3 days til I go in holiday but I also have a Chinese meal out with friends on Friday so I'll prob not hit that before I go.
This makes me even more worried about weight gain on holiday!
