Happy February.
I didn’t disappear by choice, I went on my cruise vacation in mid-December & while I was away there was a water leak in my house. Been a lot to deal with… lived in a hotel for 34 nights (eating out all the time), finally in an apartment 2 weeks ago. Then I had to find a scale that worked 🤪. Not the same one I was using before (that one is ruined). So I guess I can’t compare to where I was before. So here’s a new start for 2023.

Start 2/2: 178.2
Goal for February: no specific weight, just lower than where I started.

WendyWants2Change: Yikes! That's a lot to deal with. That happened to my parents once while on vacation. A very stressful return.

I met my initial scale-reading goal this morning, so I'm setting a bonus goal for the rest of the month.

[MrBadger]

start: 15st 5.5lb / 215.5lb
target: 15st 2lb / 212lb
target loss: 3.5lb

current: 15st 5.25lb / 215.5lb
loss this month: 0.25lb

just 0.25lb this week, but it's a short week, so that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it.

sorry to hear about your house Wendy - good luck with the new start.

my weight jumps around a fair bit day to day Joy so I don't really believe a new low until I've seen it a few days in a row. there's plenty of the month left to stick to your new target if you want to.

[gardenerjoy]

I'm glad you saw a loss, MrBadger.
I'm headed back in the right direction.

just a 0.5lb loss this week, but still a new low. I haven't been very active - my knee is still not fully back to normal - so I'll take any loss.

hope all is well Joy & Wendy.

1.5lb loss this week. I managed to get out for a decent walk in the hills on Sunday which did me good, physically & mentally - I've been cooped up indoors far too much this year.

quiet in here lately - hope all is well Joy & Wendy
