Joyful July

[Octopus45]

Well here's hoping anyway. I'm starting the thread about the same weight as I was at the beginning of June. Was full of good intentions, but it all fell by the wayside. TBH the more I focus on food the more I want to eat, so I'm aiming to turn this on its head in July. Dont know if that makes sense.

@ScottishBeth @LBB2020 thank you both. I have been struggling a bit, and worried about actually enjoying the things we have planned for our anniversary and belated fathers day and a birthday.

I'm 2lb down this week
Total down: 55lbs

Not tracking for the next few days, we are going out for anniversary and having a buffet party on Sunday at my inlaws.

Enjoy your celebrations @WeirdPookah. Well done on your weight loss, that's fantastic. Off out for lunch with some friends today

Well done @WeirdPookah and hope upu had a lovey weekend!

71kg this morning. I know ast week I was all distressed about STS and now I've had a tiny gain (0.1kg) but I'm not worried. I performed in a concert at the weekend for the first time since before covid, so I had a very indulgent weekend. This is definitely a one off. It will come off again.

I've got a few things on this week but I won't be eating out except for tonight. We're going for Japanese food so I think I should be able to not eat too much there.

Sounds lovely @ScottishBeth enjoy your meal! Still plodding along here, food could be better and definitely need more sleep! Exercise still going well and I'm
still enjoying it

70.2kg this morning. That's an 0.8kg loss on last week. I'm pleased with that as I've had a pretty shocking few days and have overeaten a fair bit.

I'm only 400g off the goal I set at the beginning of the year, so fingers crossed for next week.

How is everyone else getting on?

Hi, well done '@ScottishBeth I've been a bit distracted this month, sometimes a couple of pounds down then back on again. Had lots going on and been really busy with work. Hope everyone is having a good month.

@Octopus45 it is so difficult to keep going for a long time with this.

I was 69.1kg this morning! The goal I set at the beginning of the year was 69.8kg so I can go and buy that bikini! I am so pleased.

My BMI is now 26, and my waist is 81cm. I knew the goal was still in the overweight range, but I'd been trying to lose weight for so long that a healthy weight seemed so impossible. But I'm going to keep going. My new goal is 64kg. That gives me a couple of kg to fluctuate for holidays and things, but still be within the healthy range.

Wow @ScottishBeth you have done amazingly, you should be so proud of yourself.

Here is the new thread for August.
