Weigh in day: Jan 8: 254.1lb Jan 15: 247.8lb Jan 22: 245.8lb Woah. Even at an average of 1750 cals in and no more than 30 mins of exercise on any given day (besides an hour's leisurely walk last Saturday), I'm still in the "back on the wagon" rate of loss. I'll enjoy it while it lasts!

@changeforeverlj there were rumours of prohibition in Ireland too, we currently have the fastest growing rate of COVID-19 cases in Europe thanks to hardly anyone restricting their Christmas plans. It didn't happen though, alcohol is still very much on sale. I wouldn't have minded skipping booze until I can meet up with…

@desolate_angel I use Happy Scale, I love it! As you say the average is so useful for really understanding what's happening on the journey as @mtaratoot called it, which I totally agree with.

@KeriA it's amazingly thoughtful of you to read and respond to so many posts! @iloveeggnog put it beautifully - thank you for your kindness. <3 @goal06082021 me too on the dry January (mainly for the sake of calories) but I felt today was a good day to toast the new US President with a couple of gin and slimline tonics. If…

@celticria46 you've lost 10lbs in two weeks, that's a brilliant result! It's good that you're weighing in daily if it suits you to see how you fluctuate day by day. If it's demotivating you maybe weigh in once a week when you're more likely to only see the number go down. My weight often fluctuates a couple of lbs day to…

@KMC55 remember you have communities like this one to support you on your journey. If it helps to tell us about your bad day to stay on track we're all ears :)

@Laughter_Girl I hear ya on the protein. I'm living a flexitarian lifestyle now - I still love eating meat but trying to be at least 50% veggie or vegan for environmental reasons (and stick to free range, organic meat for welfare reasons), it is quite a challenge to hit protein goals without meat and fish, and stay under…

@uyister that is an interesting theory. I've heard that drinking water with a meal aids digestion (some coverage from Mayo Clinic so a reputable scientific source), but then digestion and how full you feel are different things! You're absolutely right not to take anything on faith but test for yourself - we're all so…

@goal06082021 yep agree about the steering towards the middle of the room. We've got a good size bathroom and adjoining kitchen with flagstone tiles that are just a bit larger than the scale so it fits on one tile nicely, so contact is not a problem, just the angle!

@uyister what's the thinking behind not drinking water with your meals? I've never heard that one! I would have thought it was a good thing to drink water with food?? @goal06082021 I have that problem with getting an accurate reading on the scale as I live in an old house c. 1870 with zero decent foundations! I put my…

Hi everyone, delighted to find this thread, I've actually spent the last two evenings reading through all the posts before I shared my story as I felt this was a really supportive group and didn't want to miss a thing! Age: 38 Height: 5'8" SW: 254.1 (on 8 Jan, highest I've ever recorded) CW: 248.6 GW: 179 to start, then…

Hi everyone! I felt ready to get on the scales today for the first time so will start from Jan 8. Good luck to everyone in their goals! January Start Weight: 254.1lb January Goal Weight: 248lb Ultimate Goal Weight: 180lb Jan 8: 254.1lb Jan 15: Jan 22: Jan 29: Jan 31:

Username: emmclean April Week 1 PW: 199.8 CW: 198.2 March was a tough one for me, really hoping I can pick up the running now that spring is here and keep the pounds coming off!

Hi Gutbusters, I'm Emma, 36 and in London, UK. I've been in this group since October 2017, when I went from 235 to 179 in time for my wedding. I went up to around 190 after my minimoon and giving myself a month off last September, but maintained that through until Christmas. Took January off for the proper honeymoon and…

Username: emmclean February week 4 PW: 196.2 lbs CW: 199 lbs Sorry for late weigh in team - my living room ceiling collapsed yesterday so I've been somewhat distracted - thankfully I and my cat narrowly avoided the debris and despite my laptop being on the sofa and the TV taking a big hit of old, heavy plaster and falling…

Sorry for your loss @fe452436, look after yourself.

February 22 Exercised? Yes, 5k lunchtime run Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes

February 21 Exercised? No Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes Another beautiful day today in London but no time to take advantage of it for a run, opening an exhibition next week so it's hectic!

February 19 Exercised? Yes, 4.6km run Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes Beautiful spring day today. I'm so lucky to be able to take a lunchtime run over Tower Bridge, although all the tourists made it tricky!

February 18 Exercised? No, but walked 3.5km out of my way as I couldn't make yoga today Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes

@Kimmie_H81 thanks, I know it works out in the end with steady progress, and I am realistic about my fluctuations but you know those times when it just doesn't add up are so frustrating! Sounds like @LesIckaBod is having similar fun!

February 17 Exercised? Yes, 9km run Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes Was hoping for a 10km but that's the first time I've done more than 5km since November, and my furthest distance since March last year so I'm pleased! Pace wasn't bad either, just a few seconds shy of my fastest 10km speed.

emmclean February Week 2 PW: 197.4 CW: 199.0 Not happy, don't think I deserve a gain this week, let alone over a lb. I've exercised 3 times since my last weigh in and haven't gone over calories, albeit eating back exercise calories sometimes. Maintenance I would have accepted. Hopefully I can make up for it next week. I…

February 15 Exercised? Yes, 4.5km run at lunchtime Calories? Yes Tracked? Yes
