I've hit target but still wanted to lose a few extra pounds so not to go over the 11 stone bracket again!

My size 12 jeans finally fit comfortably and today I weighed and gained 1.6lbs this week! But the jeans fit better this week than they did last week!

Trial and error now, weight loss slowing down and to be expected and months ago I would of been horrified with a gain but now I'm taking it in my stride as I know I can do it and know that I'm almost where I want to be and have had such positive comments in and off MFP!

    Or just use a trending app like Happy Scale or Libra and let it do the math for you and graph the trend!
