Monday 5th March weigh in.

Well......I have absolutely no idea why the scales have STILL not moved. This week I am going to write down everything that passes the lips and hope that sheds some light on it.

Possibly recent stresses may be playing havoc with thyroid levels so will also go to GP for TSH level test.

A pound put on unfortunately- but I'm not surprised because I have been in 'finishing things up' mode after entertaining and also my DGS made some chocolate cupcakes and brought them on Saturday- could 'nt not have one (or two)
Still. back to being controlled this week. It really helps to hear of everyone else's efforts and to know that I am going to report to you all on a Monday. It's as good as going to WW or SW !

Impressive loss from lots of grams, well done. I have put back on 3 of the 7lb I lost when first ill. Still not really up to eating anything but toast and not going out or getting any exercise so not a surprise. Think I need to get better, very sloooow processes it seems , then work on sensible eating.

Probably I am convinced I weigh more after a bath - I must take on water.

Well done to all our losers!

I ate less food and drank less wine last week and had a couple of very energetic gardening sessions. Weight has stayed the same.
I do feel as though there is a bit less of me round the middle though....so maybe the weight loss will show next week.
I started Tai Chi classes in the New Year, and go there every Monday morning after my weekly weigh in. So if I've gained or not lost weight, the classes are very good at promoting a chilled out attitude about everything.

But I am starting to wonder if all that positive chi weighs anything?

Another one and half gone. I stepped up the exercise this week to include only a short walk of three miles but done at a very fast pace on the days when I don't golf. I have a personal goal of losing another 6 lbs before Easter so I can be in the next 'stone' bracket which I will then undoe as I intend to have a Hot X bun and a large Easter egg.

Sorry Carol you and I crossed in the 'post' - well done to you too!

Well done you three early-posters - progress is best (albeit frustrating!) when it is slow as (hopefully!) it doesn't go back on if lost slowly.
I am delighted to report another loss this week of a pound and a half (11:11.2) so I am happy with that.
Determination has set in to keep up the three gym/swim visits each week and I am still eating sensibly and going to bed with Paul Mc!!!
Good luck everyone and if any of you are currently at the plateau stage when the weight will not budge PLEASE don't give up - I felt like that for many weeks but it is now gradually beginning to drop so hang on in there!
Thank you glass and all those lovely people who kept on encouraging me!

I've been having lots of soup, too and have lost another 1 lb.

11st 9 which may or may not be up or down on last week!! I can never remember whether I have clothes/PJs on or not but I don't THINK it is up!

I have more or less stayed the same this week. Think I lost about a quarter of a pound!

In spite of having no real exercise for weeks I have managed to lose a few pounds by very STRICT dieting whilst I've been ill. Last time I was confined to bed I put on pounds, so was much more careful this time. Good job I love fresh home-made soup; I've been living on it.
