Hi started this journey on 18th April Ive lost a half a stone and there are lots of ways I could be more disciplined but I'm pretty chuffed , just been takiking the why should I approach when temptation kicks in my little analogy is to picture myself as a freshly cleaned house and there is no way I'd allow myself to throw muck over it ,a freshly clean body no way  going to put a lot of fatty food in it 👍🏼 because why should I mess it up 😎

In only a month, you've got your imagination working for you instead of against you.  I know we are focused on those scales, but that change in your behaviour will be worth even more to you than learning to lose half a stone in a month.  So a double celebration is called for.  Non food, of course.

What a wonderfully thoughtful partner.  So many would have bought you your pre diet favourite chocs!  All the winds seem to be in your favour today!  And I'm sure that is your doing.

Well done! You know I think I'm running exactly a week behind you ... I started one week later and have lost 6 pounds so hoping to hit the half a stone mark in the next two weeks! Big believer of slow and steady wins thr race
