Welcome, WendyWants2Change and MrBadger!

Wendy, that's terrific progress over time and a great idea to take a moment to recognize that.

MrBadger, I looked for a lion in the emoticons, but didn't see one. Instead, I'll give you this meme that your username makes me think of: Badger manners : memes (reddit.com)

March goal: -1 kg, Weigh 20x

1: 88.9, 1/20x

Joy that's great

I think the African Honey Badger would probably steal the American badger's Meth

MrBadger: Good progress!

WendyWants2Change: Today is a new day! That's the attitude that really helps me in the long run.

I assuming that my body is adjusting to the strength-training that I've been doing for the last six weeks. Or maybe I need to adjust my thinking about how the scale behaves based on that. I'm going to give it some time to see if things start to arrange themselves in a way that makes more sense to me.

Wendy: My scale is showing remarkable consistency. Which I'm finding a little frustrating. I suppose what we both want is a nice steady fall. Too bad it doesn't seem to work that way.

1: 88.9, 1/20x
2: 89.1, 2/20x
3: 89.6, 3/20x

5: 89.5, 5/20x
7: 89.2, 6/20x
11: 88.9, 7/20x
12: 89.3, 8/20x
13: 89.15, 9/20x
14: 88.9, 10/20x

a bit all over the place is quite a good description of me this month too. I've bounced around a bit & am quite happy that I'm still slightly below what I started the month at. I'm not sure if my target is still within reach, but there's still a couple of weeks left to drop a couple of pounds if I apply myself.

hope all is well with you Joy & Wendy

still going the right direction, albeit very slowly. I have next week off work so hopefully I can get out & be a bit more active. also, we go onto daylight saving this coming weekend so I'll be able to do a bit more during the week - I feel like I've been in hibernation for the last six months!
