[AB Editor]

Hello everyone! Here is a shiny new thread for February. How are you all getting on?

Here is January's thread: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Weight-Loss-and-Dieting/Question1587472.html

[anthro-nerd]

I'm still a bit tubby from xmas Ed

[Old_Geezer]

After a surprisingly good w/e, had shot up this morning :-(
Up 0.4 lbs over the week.

Thanks for the new thread . Stayed the same .i expected a loss but no Problem just want a few more pounds off .spring is on it's way so meals will be lighter

[xstitcher]

Good morning all....again....lost my last mail hmmm.
After a two week pit stop I’m off and running again. Six pounds more and the finish line will be crossed but, as others have experienced this last bit slows down. I know why I am, eating a tiny bit more here and a wee bit more there. It’s ok now and then but not every day.
.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, I’m at the lowest I've been in years. I hope to stop and cement it for a bit instead of hovering up and down. Just three pounds to go and I’ve hit my goal and intend to stay there.

[wendilla]

well done xstitcher .well no guesses to mine I have stayed the same .But ok with that as long as I don't gain .

[Old_Geezer]

Inexplicable & weird. Shot down over the last 24 hours to be 0.6 lbs down over the week. (It had shot up last Friday for reasons that were not clear, and further still by Tuesday morning, after the long weekend. But has dropped twice since then. )

[wendilla]

Your on that seesaw again OG .try the roundabout .

[Old_Geezer]

:-)
Weekend rises I expect. It's Friday ones that raise eyebrows.

[xstitcher]

A very good morning....I have just hit my goal! I’ve lost 18 kilos since the beginning of September last year. Five of those kilos were water retention due to an illness. I’m on cloud nine. I intend to carry on with the way I eat, my walks and needless to say my rehab training. I never want to be where I was when I began. I feel so much better. There’s going to be a lot of clothes shopping involved when I get my summer clothes out. Even my shoe size has gone down one size.

[Old_Geezer]

* CONGRATULATIONS *

[xstitcher]

Thanks OG. I can see that you’re also an early bird. Are you an OAP or do you have a job to get to? Can I ask that???

[Old_Geezer]

Ask whatever you like. I retired early when my employer imposed unacceptable changes to the job and refused to admit that had changed the job and that I should have been offered redundancy. Now-a-days I spend my time feeling guilty about all the things I ought to do but can't drag up the enthusiasm for. Still it's nice to be out of the rat race. I should be getting off the Net and trying to grab some more sleep as I awoke hours ago, but I've not found enough interest to do that yet.

[xstitcher]

Here's me OG If I can sleep until 5 I consider myself lucky, but I don’t get up until then regardless. I get as much done in the house as I can before eight when I have breakfast. I’m an OAP housewife so my lot in life is no retirement...not complaining. I’ve been a teacher in Canada and cabin crew here but a homemaker beats both those jobs for me. I get my socialising done in other ways outside the house and as my name suggests I have a hobby that more than enough fills up any space I have in my day.

[wendilla]

here we go me too retired from nursing for many years .like xstitcher I have to get my jobs done in the morning preferably before 9. If I am knocked out of my routine I don't like it . I am not obese but have struggled with weight all my life . Never been slim slim normally around 10 stone but gradually crept up a few but I am managing to keep in check and still have a few naughties . stayed the same again .At my age I am not going to deprive my self of a treat .But I still have to be sensible .

[Old_Geezer]

Up 0.4 lbs :-(

[xstitcher]

I have never had weight problems until I quit smoking 10 or so years ago. Then slowly but surely I turned from being a tall slim lady into a tall big lady and into a tall fat lady. Now I no longer have the willowy look but am very acceptablely between slim and big.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, I hope you’re keeping warm. Brrr.
Time to make bone warming soup. Weight is holding its own.

[Old_Geezer]

Serious coating of snow out there overnight. Not rushing to get up and jump on the scales. Thank goodness for central heating.

[wendilla]

Morning xstitcher and og still the same for me too .Not been doing much walking because of weather .cold cold today but just frosty .Had flurries of snow off and on last 2 days ,
