46.2kg. 7st 3lb This morning.
Blaming confinement. Ran out of suitable snacks days ago.
MrSlim took all the unsuitable ones with him when he left to work in UK (Insisted he did) Cant believe that was a month ago!
Trying to make food last, almost certainly eating a bit less. Not snacking for a start.
Then there was the flash flood, so lot of hard physical work shovelling mud from outbuildings. Its mostly cleared up, but still trying to get the vegetable beds back into production. Massive stress all round really, which presumably burns calories as well.

I am getting perilously close to my lowest ever adult weight.
 
56.7 today which is nearly 1kg down on last week. Very happy with that. I don’t like to go over 57kg now ( I used to be a fair bit heavier) but know how easily it can creep up.

You are doing brilliantly. 1/2kg is 1.1lb or do you mean between 1-2kg? Mind u still less than 2.2lb which for me can be a watch or heavy bangle/bracelet. I wish I was your weight rather than my 96kgs. Can we swop?

Yes 1/2kg so 1.1lb I always used to think in stones, but now I think In Kg for body weight - maybe because that’s how the HCPs measure now.
I know what you mean about a bit of jewellery or even a thick pair of socks making a difference. I always make sure I’ve been to the loo before weighing too!
I think you are doing marvellously, your determination and ‘can do’ attitude are really inspirational. Wherever you are aiming for I know beyond doubt that you will get there.

Your post has reminded me of how 90% of the time I'm going for my new aims in life. I must admit this virus seems to hv put a large boulder right in my path but I decided from the start I'd chip away at it. It will be cracked into small pieces then sandy particals. Eventually..

45.8 kg 7st 2lb not happy with that at all. Somehow slipping down into 45kg seems a larger loss than the .4kg it is .
@Diawara good for you.
@carty SNAP, but you are going the right way, Hooray .

Well I would have liked to report no change again this week but unfortunately at 76 Kg it seems I have put on 1.5 Kg somehow.:banghead:

46.6kg this week
7st 4lb
Shopping trip, resupplied with eggs, cream and cheese. But giving in to toast craving, several times, probably explains sharp rise.

Personally, I wouldn't call less than a kilo a sharp rise - especially when you were finding yourself losing to an unacceptable level. I'd be happy enough on that.
 
Losing control somewhat weight has gone up to 76.5 Kg this week with lock down and shielding getting bored and eating more and doing less bad combination.
 
Still 45.8 this is almost the 7stone 2 that I weighed when I got married nearly 57 years ago ! Just one problem
Distribution ! Now my arms are like twiglets with wrinkles I have no thighs, a neck like a chickens but I struggle to fasten the waist band of my skirts and trousers but if I buy the next size up I have baggy trousers ! I am looking for a distribution centre that can help.Any assistance would be most welcome :)

Baggy trousers here too. Don't think I own a pair that fit. When the weight started falling off, was expecting to put some back on, so haven't bought new. Still hoping for that, but after two years, this might be my new normal size.
