Hi and welcome, LauraJayne31

Wow, 6lbs in 4 days is an awful lot, I hope that you've checked your calorie allowance on the NHS Bmi calculator and aren't undereating. It's very satisfying to see fast weight loss, but slow and steady is more likely to result in permanent weight loss

We'll look forward to seeing you at Monday's weigh-in and to changing your newbie badge for a weight loss badge

Hi LauraJayne31, well done and I hope you stay on track for the weekend. I find my structure of work days easier than weekends and my biggest problem used to be going to the shop and getting chocolate and thinking that would be my breakfast but then having breakfast as well and being so full up I couldnt eat till the evening! My hard work all week was then ruined at the weekend so I no longer do that and have 3 meal as normal at the weekend. Have a great weekend 😜

Hi, LauraJayne31

It is not unusual to lose half a stone in the first week or two, and your weight will fluctuate during the day.

Try to only weight yourself first thing in the morning, before breakfast and after using the loo. See:
