Back up to 138lbs today, which is basically my starting weight 😣 I've been away for the weekend so expected a little gain but this is annoying. Can't have actually gained 3lbs in a week though so I will weigh again in a few days!

Starting weight: 138lbs Current weight: 135lbs Goal weight: 120lbs Lost so far: 3lbs I've been away for a week and then ill for a few days, so I've not been working out and eating has been all over the place and I've definitely not been logging. So I'm pleasantly surprised I haven't gained!

I'm female, UK, 5'5".. so pretty close! Feel free to add. 🙂

1lb down. The start of a slow and steady journey I hope! Starting weight: 9st 12lbs Current weight: 9st 11lbs Goal weight: 8st 8lbs

So, first day checking in with planks (pretty much a beginner so starting slow!)... Feb 2nd: 3 X 30 second forearm plank 2 X 15 second side plank 2 X 30 second side plank Total: 3 minutes Will aim for 60 minutes this month.

I'm in! Started doing forearm planks and side planks again recently but not started counting seriously or building up any time yet. Will log here this month.

I'm around 5' 5", I am 138lbs currently which is closer to the top than the bottom of the healthy BMI range. I am trying to lose weight because I know I felt better when I was close to the lighter end of the "healthy" range, but I am mostly trying to increase strength and fitness. I don't actually think I look overweight…

Vegetarian for ever, vegan for 14 years here. Happy to add friends and open diary to friends if it would help! Though I often just add ingredients individually rather than making them into recipes so it may look a bit weird! X

Thanks for the advice everyone. I know a week isn't that long to take off, it's only because I've JUST started making progress that I'm worried. Years ago I used to lift and went on holiday without thinking about it but that was after I'd built up a bit more progress. Until a few weeks ago I was only making it to the gym…

Thanks both. I actually had some bands years ago but they were either too light or I wasn't using them properly because they weren't doing much for me. I will look into getting a better set, could be a good solution! There won't be a gym where I'm staying but I will be walking up plenty of hills so it won't be a sedentary…

I am nearly 30 and had problems with eating disorders from age 12 until my early 20s. The thing that really helped me was recontextualising food and weight so it wasn't all about loss and negatives. Even things as simple as starting weight lifting helped because I had positive goals to work for, eg "I want to be able to…

^^ The Happy Pear are great! Today I've had homemade hummus on toast for breakfast (not what I usually have but the cupboards were almost bare!) Lunch was a slice of harrissa roasted cauliflower tart with green salad, capers and chia seeds.

Crisps (potato chips) especially salt and vinegar flavour... 😋

Drum and bass!

I use Pulsin pea protein but I only ever use about 10g in smoothies occasionally for a little boost.

Hi all, hope you don't mind if I join, with half an hour to go until Monday ends! First weigh in today so I am very much at the starting point, though I didn't weigh in the morning so maybe I will have a pleasant surprise next week! 😅 Starting weight: 9st 12lbs Current weight: 9st 12lbs Goal weight: 8st 8lbs Well done…

I tried them many years ago and hated everything about them! Would much rather just use more vegetables in place of noodles.

Hello, vegan for 14 years here! First tip: don't believe anyone who says you won't get enough protein, there are plenty of ways to get protein from a vegan/ plant based diet. I am currently upping my protein intake to about twice the RDA as I have started lifting weights again, and I am finding it quite simple. Keep going…

Happy to befriend any of you . I am also starting again, trying to lose about 14lbs fairly slowly but mostly get stronger and fitter. Eating mostly wholefoods and trying not to drink too much beer 🙄. Doing fairly well for motivation at the moment but could always use buddies!

Just a gentle 45min swim today. I'm getting back into weights after a while but trying to put some different forms of exercise in between the lifting days- swimming, cycling or yoga.
