That’s excellent Welshpoppy, the consistency and focus is paying off! Well done.

Meanwhile, I’ve put another pound on. I don’t know why I self sabotage every single time I have an important event coming up :-(

Alice-Maybe there is a reason for it? all I can offer is hugs and support and no one cares who loves you what you weigh.Maybe when wedding is over the pressure is off you can get going again?
Come in here daily and just say in calories for the day and work on that before anything else?

GM Sorry you are struggling as well but you also have stress with house move? you can do this

Big hugs to you both xx

It does feel good but also saddened that you and Alice are struggling as I know what that is like.

Ditto what GM says! Don't feel sad for me, it's all my own fault. I'm just not sure what it'll take to jolt me into taking responsibility and getting on with it.

Thank you Ladies you are very kind and I hope we are all losing weight soon.

Runs around thread in my shorts-yay it feels good ;-) What is amazing even my wedding ring feels so much better on finger.So many plus points.

Clothes feel better

Lots of wins there, Wp :)

Some of my lack of motivation is that I'm in a size 12 for the first time as an adult, my wedding ring is loose and my friends are still telling me how slim I look - after a lifetime of being size 16+.

I am still at least a stone overweight though, so can't be complacent.

Maybe you are at your sweet spot weight wise or maybe you are just pausing to admire the view before continuing the journey.

I’m doing it by:
