Confused.

I have no idea how I have done it but the scales say I have lost 3lbs this week. The only change in my life has been that my knee is messed up so it's an effort getting about (doesn't stop me) plus I am in discomfort and pain a fair bit of the time. Maybe all the concentration of getting about and the pain is burning off calories? I'm keeping to under 1,500 calories a day and so far I have lost 12lbs in 8wks. I am now 10st 12lbs and don't believe it so I shall weigh myself tomorrow morning again. My lunch was a great big slice of cake as I was so confused. Good excuse?

No excuse!! But grab every pound lost - doesn't matter where (or why) it went! Well done - apart from the cake!

Thank you! 3lbs off is a great surprise and I'm looking forward to my neighbour seeing me. She's been in Australia for 2 months and is coming back tomorrow. We did compare rolls of fat before she went so it will interesting to see how she's been doing. She has no idea I've been losing weight. Wonder if she has too? :)

I've been good but it's not as hard as I thought it would be. Very aware I could binge so being mindful. Thank you for your support and do hope you are having a good week. :)

Thank you, and you! Been a hectic week at work and I'm working the weekend too so super tired! I know what you mean, I too am finding it easier than expected, sometimes I do have an overwhelming urge to binge but I can normally associate this with emotional triggers or just plain greed (I want it) rather than hunger! We can do this! I'm starting to believe that now! 🌸

3lb is 3lb! Well done you xxxx

Oh well done you! No reason why you shouldn't celebrate every now and again especially when you've been in such pain. Keep up the good work, whatever it is you're doing...it works!

Thank you Jenever. It does go to show it works so it's a lifestyle change for me now. I nearly bought some chocolate today but bought a £2 scratchcard instead and doubled my money. It's my lucky day! :)
