Have dabbled in various wl chats before but starting my own thread for accountability - would love some people to join me!

Weighed in yesterday at the heaviest I've ever been excluding pregnancy - 59.6kg 😓 In all honesty I shouldn't be shocked, my diet has been crap, but I'm just so disappointed in myself for letting it slide up so much (I was 56kg in May).

Anyway! Trying to stay positive and focus on the changes I will be making. Luckily I have lots to motivate me: a big birthday in late September that I want to be healthier for, and a very fancy wedding in October that is basically a college reunion so I want to look my best!

Plan is to seriously overhaul my diet (started yesterday), I already exercise a fair bit but will up the walking.

Not sure yet how often I'll weigh in but for posterity:

SW: 59.6
TW: 52ish

Edit to add that I am very short I'm case that's not clear!

@Amayonaising Hope you enjoyed your time away.
@CrowsInMyGarden Sorry to hear that your Doctor’s appointment upset you.

Using my Happy Scale moving average.
SW: 8st13.5
Today: 8st12.8
Target: ?8st?

Happy Scale told me today that I’ll reach my goal in 5 years!!!

Hope everyone has a positive week. Anyone got any nice (healthy?!) meals planned? We’re having salmon and roast Mediterranean veg today.

Hi all. I’ve maintained this week, quite shocked as it’s been an indulgent week with a few meals out, not really sticking to plan etc. Also my weight seems to stall/go up the week before my period. I’m going to try harder next week! We can do it guys!

U guys seem to have some lovely meals planned, I need to take a leaf out of your books! I’m a lazy cook, well not really but I have three fussy children to cook for and then by the time it comes to making my own meals, I’ve pretty much lost the will!
