9st 12lbs today, same as last Friday. I'm happy with that as I was hitting 10st a couple of days ago (but 10st would be ok too).

Well I have munched my way back to 12st 5lb from 11st 12lbs seven pound gain, not too despondent as I set a 12st 4lbs as a target, I do tend to drop and gain 4lbs every day, it's probably fluids as I'm drinking 2-3ltrs a day.

After a lengthy stall I lost the final 2 pounds. I'm happy hear.

Not sure what changed. The on,y dietary changes were I switched BF from a lettuce wrap with mustard and mayo with turkey to half a smashed avocado and celery and lunch from mayo on protein and the other half avocado. So carbs and protein the same but fat sources changes. I also added a scoop of peanut butter before bed. Who knows why I lost again. Mayo?

81kg today or 178.5 lb which is a loss this week of 1kg or 2.7lb
FBG's good 4.1 to 4.8 this week
Target is 174lb so 4.5 lb to go
Had a much better week than last week and off to get a bag of fruit for my daughters wedding on 21 May. Excited that it will probably be the same size as the first suit I ever bought.

My hormones are being a complete git this week (I'm perimenopausal too) and I've bloated up like a balloon so I'm back up to 11 stone 10. Oh well, at least it's only temporary

I'm big built and average height. In 2011 I maxed out at 105kg. Friday I was 85kg so have lost 2kg and no big gut protruding anymore. Happy. :)

Well done @Russetfox, that's a fantastic loss! Sometimes I find that the weight drops off quicker when I am stressed

Much better this week. I'm down 2lbs since last week. I hadn't lost anything for the previous 3 weeks and seemed to be stuck but I'm not sure why I've suddenly lost this weekend. It means I'm now 10 stone 12lbs which psychogically is better than my weight starting either "11".

I really want up lose another stone but realistically will be happy is I lose another 1/2 stone, I can then review things.

Well it seems I crushed my last set of scales with a whithering look of total disbelief prior to going in to hospital last week and as it would no longer communicate with me I have had to purchase a new set it states that I put on weight in hospital and put me at 13 St but his morning is giving my weight at 12St 11Lb so that is a loss 4Lb I think.
