Last month's thread is here.

January has come to a close. Did anyone participate in Veganuary or maybe dry January?

If so, how did it go?

[Old_Geezer]

Cheers SpEd

Participated in nothing.
Weight not gone as well as I'd have liked.

[rowanwitch]

3½ pounds down this week 27½ in total. Feeling pretty good as people are starting to notice.

[Theland]

Well done Rowan.
Your photo was great.

[xstitcher]

Well done Rowan. It’s a good feeling.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, no up no down. Nothing to say about that.

[rowanwitch]

Maintaining is ok, after all even on a long walk it's nice to stop and catch your breath. One step at a time it's a lifetime change not the 100metres sprint

[xstitcher]

Quite true Rowan. Will keep that in mind.

Haven't been here in a while but bringing good news. Since beginning of January I have lost 10lbs. I am now 4lbs off the high end of my healthy BMI range :o)

Should be able to shift a bit more before my holiday at Easter!

[xstitcher]

That is so good Tigger. What methods have you used?

[tiggerblue10]

I lost my appetite due to stuff going on in my personal life, Xstitcher, but I have used it to my advantage and kept a log on myfitnesspal. It was easy to do as my stomach shrunk so I couldn't overeat.

[rowanwitch]

Another pound down. Two stone in total

[xstitcher]

Just to say that I’m sorry things have been rough for you Tigger.

[rowanwitch]

Me too, some people seem to get more than their share of troubles. Hope you are out the other side soon

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, well finally the needle moved in the right direction so I’m feeling satisfied. Weather here rain rain rain and winds. I travel about on a mobility scooter so by the time I get all my protective clothing on over my Mr. Michelin winter coat I can hardly get my arms down to my sides. I really look comical. The pay off is how good it feels when The rain stops and I don’t need to wear it.

[Old_Geezer]

Dropped 0.8 lbs in just over a week.
Sounds like varying degrees of success all round :-)

[xstitcher]

Good for you OG. Aren’t we all clever clogs!

[tiggerblue10]

Thank you Xstitcher and Rowan xx

I have good days and bad days and when I have the bad days my appetite is very low. The issues aren't going to go away any time soon so I have to learn to live with them.

[rowanwitch]

Another 1½ pounds down. Makes 30 in total well chuffed

[xstitcher]

That's brilliant Rowan. What do you think of the new you?

[rowanwitch]

She is like the old one with better knees. that's been the bonus that makes me smile.
