[BitOutOfPractice]

Spring is Sprung and the Easter bunny is on his way. Let's dodge the chocolate temptations and power our way to 7lbs off this month

Here's a link to the March thread

New thread for May ready and waiting here

Archie wow! I am so impressed. Well done you.

So a whole month and I've lost 2 3/4 pounds. Not anything to shout about. I've been 10st 12lbs for three weeks and that's with really trying. It's no use even kidding myself I can lose 7 pounds in May so I'm going to try for 4 pounds. It seems I can't even lose a pound a week at the moment but I am going to try.

Good luck for good losses in May everyone, I would love a good result by the end.

Thanks pony. Had a good read this afternoon. I think my brain is going to have to do a U turn.

Steak tonight. And about to have a couple of proseccos. End of the month and all

[FreeNiki]

I started month at 67kg. Went down to 66.5kg.

Back up to 67.5kg and now back down yo 66.8kg and fat percentage has shot up.

Bollocks. Oh well a 200g loss nonetheless.

hit gym hard tomorrow.

Brilliant Arch! Well done, now you have a goal to aim for next time.

After the Easter foodfest I went up - the highest I saw was 11st 2.5lbs. I now seem to be back down to 10st 13.5lbs - so although I am back where I started I have technically lost 3lbs! I have cleared out a few more pairs of size 16 trousers that are now far too big.

Stellar the low-carb threads in the dedicated section are a good place to start. Lots of water, a bit of movement and don't be afraid of the fat.

[BeyondStrongAndStable]

I'm (I assume!) gonna have water loss too. So I'm gonna be going for a stone in may. I'm cutting coffee, alcohol and meat out completely and doing the BSD. Reckon that sounds possible? 😬

[FreeNiki]

I appear to have dipped beneath 10.7 on the bathroom scale.

i could verify on the boditrax but now ive eaten toast so it will skew it. I normally weigh before eating in the morning.

Would like to lose 2-3lbs next month and be closer to 10st.

[Stellar67]

Great news paws!

Well done Archy! That is a brilliant time.

Well done losers of the Linda's.

I am so upset I am still the same as I was before. It's not going up. But I'm in no way ready to maintain.

Have printed off some LCHF stuff to look at. Any tips there?

[Balonder]

I lost 4 lbs. 14.2 to 13.12

[SpuriouserAndSpuriouser]

I have lost a grand total of 2lbs this month. I am ever-hopeful though that when AF has buggered off I might have a whoosh and lose another 2 ish lbs, which would put me back at the weight I was at the start of March. So I guess that is my goal for May! Get back to my March weight

[BitOutOfPractice]

Paws thank goodness for that!

So, last day of April. Want to check in with losses / weights? I've lost 4lbs. I'm now 11 stone 1lb.

In may I'd like to lose 5lbs. Very very unlikely but let's put it out there.

[SpuriouserAndSpuriouser]

Glad it got sorted Paws!

Well done Archie, that is an amazing time!

[readyforsunshine]

Bloody hell archie well done⭐️

[BitOutOfPractice]

Archie that's absolutely marvellous!

[FreeNiki]

duke 🤗👍🍾🏅🏆

[Archduke]

I RAN 10KM IN 1 HR 3 SECONDS

I am beyond stoked .

Could have got sub 1 hr if I'd tried a bit harder, grrr.

[Archduke]

Yay Paws that's great news.

BOOP Shop shop shop shop shop. It's the only way forward in this kind of crisis.

Hairspray a 4 lb loss is excellent. You may wear the April crown unless we have anyone who can beat you?

I'm sitting nervously drinking tea before heading out to my race. God, I'm a bore about it. Was just chatting on fb to someone doing the half marathon, she was very kind and didn't laugh at my first-time-racer nervous ramblings. Queenie do you get nervous before a race? I feel like I'm about to attend a job interview.

All my jeans are too small ☹️

[poorpaws]

Quick post don't want to bore people to death about my water leak BUT ITS FIXED! An engineer came this morning to survey the work which was to be done next week. He said I had been told a load of rubbish by the previous man (same company, Homeserve). In five hours he mended it and my walls is still standing, only one large shrub was descimated and all is back to normal (I did have insurance to cover it too, Phew).

So now back to the wagon tomorrow for me and no more excuses.

Love the green shoes but hot water is my very favourite thing at the moment (I so took it or granted before).

[FreeNiki]

Many of my summer dresses are too big now.

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

BOOP, that's a great problem to have!

[BitOutOfPractice]

Holiday wardrobe crisis. All the jeans I've brought are too big

[Squiffy01]

Thanks all. Still think it doesn't look great but I think that about everything

arch I also thought I needed some coloured shoes but have not yet found any will have one last look today but it might just have to be silver wedges.

[HairsprayBabe]

10.9 and that is as good as it will get for me this month I think! -4 lindas still it is a damn sight better then ending on a gain!

Have a lovely bank holiday all and I'll see you on the new thread.

[Archduke]

Ha, love the panic when it seemed like BOOP would be away for the May thread .

Squiffy that dress is lovely and you look great in it. IMO it needs some nice bright heels to razz it up. I love these, am in love with green at the moment or these in blue.

I have been looking for new rugs (too many puppy accidents to deal with on the old ones) and there is literally nothing I like in the whole of Australia. Am considering buying in the UK in July and bringing back with me. Australia SUCKS for shopping for nice things.

Anyway on the food front, all ok. I went to a friends after work last night and ate triple cream brie but didn't have any dinner.

Am really nervous about my race tomorrow. I feel like I'm coming down with the flu (but it's probably my imagination). I'm just hoping to finish under 1hr 15mins . DD1 is doing the 5km run and dh and dd2 will watch.

Paws your plumbing issues sound awful. When are you hoping it will be fixed?

Have a good weekend everyone - enjoy the holiday.
