Hilarious! That made me laugh! My NSV today. An old belt I have- I can do it up 2 holes smaller than when I last tried it on a few weeks ago (I was on the last hole :/ so I had given up on it).

Wednesday weigh-in PW: 84.5 CW: 83.1 Very very happy with this. Totally wasn't expecting such a big loss but I think it's the WOOSH effect after 2 weeks of no loss. A good reminder to myself to not let the scale rule!

@micki48 I am going to have to take a break from the step team again, sorry. I've been battling stomach issues (I won't bore you with the details) + I have the kids off school and with my studies I am struggling to get steps in.

Hi all. I'm sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days. I'm 39 and live in the UK. I'm a busy mum and student, working on a master's in mental health as a second career. I've been overweight/obese my whole life and have yoyo'd up and down a few times. This time, I am trying to find that perfect balance of still…

@micki48 steps Forgot to wear my tracker again, sorry!

@micki48 steps 23 march - forget to wear my tracker, woops. No workouts but lots of spring cleaning so if you want a number I'm guessing at least 7000.

Wednesday weigh-in PW 84.6 CW 84.5 I'm happy it's at least a downward trend, considering my eating has been rubbish. Welcome all newbies!

@micki48 welcome back! Steps 22 march 7507 no workout. I'm a but stuck in rut food wise. Can't seem to get back in the zone.

@micki steps 21 march 12047 with a 30 minute full body workout and 10 minute skipping rope workout.

@micki steps 20 march Didn't wear tracker. But you could put 5000 as that is what I normally get on a regular day. No workout. @Terytha hmm that's making me hungry. I don't even like jelly but somehow that looks so good.

@micki steps 19 march 5732 with a 30 minute strength workout

@micki48 steps 18 march 13272 with a 5 K run and 10 minutes of skipping rope.

@micki48 steps 17 march 6444

Wednesday weigh-in PW: 84.2 CW: 84.6 TBH I was expecting worse. Need to get my head back in the zone, been snacking too much and making poor choices.

@micki48 steps 16 march 10068 with a 10 minutes jumping rope workout.

@micki48 steps 15 march 10020 with a 10 minute skipping rope workout which was fun! Got myself over 10k by doing jumping jacks in my pyjamas. I had everything prepared to make a cauliflower rice light supper but then got lazy and ended up eating my kids' mac 'n cheese. Hence the jumping workout to try mitigate some of the…

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate that! Thankfully, my back is much better, and I feel I can excersize again. I do still feel it, but more like a niggle and less like pain. I am much more conscious of posture!

@EvMakesChanges thank you for such a detailed response! I will definitely try that. Do I understand this correctly to lie on my back? I have been told in childhood that I have an S shaped back (large hollow in the lower back) which has made some excersizes painful, requiring a pillow for support under my lower back. I'm…

@micki48 I have revived my tracker so I'm back. I'm anyway tracking so might as well share my numbers. 14 march -didn't track but I normally get around 5k just living and I did a 30 minute legs and abs workout.

Thanks! I will have a good look and see if I can sort it before taking it for repair. TBH I haven't got much time for projects at the moment but I like to know the machine is there for me LOL

@micki48 I'm going to have to step back from the step team. I broke my tracker and TBH was struggling with steps anyway so the timing seems right. Speaking of sewing, I am an amateur sewer, enjoy making creative projects like dressing up costumes for the kids etc. I decided to teach my 13 year old daugther to use the…

Wednesday weigh-in PW 85 CW 84.2 Very very happy!

@micki48 Steps 10 march 4876 I won't be able to get my numbers up for awhile as I've taken on more work and struggling to find time to walk. My back is also still sore (although much better) so no workouts still. Happy to be off the stepping team if I am dragging the numbers down.

@micki48 steps 8 March 5007

@micki48 yes I did my back in and trying to take it easy. I have walked but did not track as I did not want to feel pressure to add steps (mind games I know). The pain was pretty bad. Much better now, hopefully back to working out tomorrow. Still aching but bearable now. Very out of character for me, I've no idea what…

@micki48 steps 5 march 4786 My back has not let up and is very painful today. So I'm taking a break from working out and steps. Trying to let my body rest. I've probably pushed things too hard.

@micki48 steps 03 march 8152 with a 30 minutes strength workout. I wanted home made pizza tonight so I 'banked' calories all day, had a tiny breakfast and lunch and then enjoyed my pizza. Not the healthiest choice maybe, but I need those indulgances to keep me sane. Good night :)

Wednesday weigh in round 2 I actually weighed myself again because I couldn't replicate the same conditions I normally weigh in this morning & also because I couldn't believe I hadn't lost anything. So round 2: PW 85.7 CW 85.0 Much happier with this.

Wednesday weigh-in PW 85.7 CW 85.6 I'm dissappointed after working so hard, but will try not to let it get to me.

@micki48 steps 2 Mar 6857 with a 30 minutes strength workout. My back has been aching for the last few days but I'm trying to keep up my routine because I know if I stop I'll be difficult to get back in the zone.
