I'm going to aim for 2lbs this week, I lost 3.4lbs last week but don't think I will be so lucky again. Fingers x'ed for Sunday.
This week's challenge will also involve trying to get back to the gym cause I haven't been in a month
and surprisingly I kind of miss it.

Thanks!
Well this week I lost 1.2lbs!
I didn't make the 2lbs mark but its my TOTM and so I'm very happy with my lb because I normally gain around now. I feel like I'm holding water so hopefully I will have a whoosh next week!
I also didn't make it to the gym, so I didn't meet that challenge either but next week's the week!
Hope you've all had a good week

LOL. I wish I could say the same! Among other things, I was only eating once a day, I drank virtually NO water but tonnes of coffee -with cream. I also had next to no activity because I'm doing a big essay which is consuming all my time and energy. I've been in ketosis but that clearly isn't enough to ensur a loss!
I'm just going to have to get it together and make sure I do it properly. I'm not helping myself by being careless.

I think I might actually because I did weigh in after breakfast and a cuppa - but still 3lbs seems just crazy to me! I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised to stay the same, I've been very bloated (and loo-challenged.), but even at that 3lbs is too much. I think you're right, I'll weigh in again in the morning. Thank you!

No worries
Only reason I say that is because I check my weight at least 3 times a day and I factor in various things, like weight of food that I eat, whether I've visited the gents (to put it politely), and also to monitor whether certain food/ingredients might slow me down. One example would be where last monday morning I weighed in at 14st 5, but I hadn't eaten much the week before. That night I had a massive kebab, which was also breakfast tues morning. Tues night I had a massive curry ...so by weds morning I was 14st 8/9.
So this morning I found I'm 14st 5 again (albeit stable rather than bordering 14st 6) hence 1/2 lb loss ...but I had eaten more last week - so it's taken into account. See where I'm getting at? I know you didn't have much last week but there's various factors, like as you said - you just had breakfast so you could have been on the lower end of a number this week and higher end of a number last week.
I'm probably not making sense but you might be suprised tomorrow morning. Would be interested to hear
