I was on a thread like this when I first signed up to TS. Learned a lot of lessons about “getting better at getting better, everyday,” from it, beyond just losing the weight and gained a lot of strength and stamina back I had lost. Frankly, I’m due for another one. 
Mind, soul, and body, all part of a strong recovery. Good luck, @Lilemm! 
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would recommend not focusing on the scale or obsessively counting calories. I know much of our culture (at least in the US) puts a lot of emphasis on those things but it tends to lead to disordered eating and can be psychologically damaging and demoralizing. Focus on eating natural whole foods, learning body cues for fullness, and moving your body regularly in ways that are enjoyable and sustainable.
The number on the scale lies and is not a measure of your worth 
I don’t see the number on the scales as a lie ,I see it as a gauger on numbers but I listen and feel the difference without scales ,I don’t calorie count ,I’m aware what I’m putting in my mouth is healthy or not and I do what I can regarding exercise,I do see where your coming from it can BC an issue for some,for me I don’t have scales in my house I go to my mum’s once a week.its about what suits the individual as we’re all the same but we do thinks differently to get to the same outcome Whatever works for you /us .It’s for us to keep it on a positive flow and that in turn is teaching us more about accountability is our recovery journey.haveca blessed day:maple_leaf:
I’ve gone down another 1lb today, but my weight fluctuates. I can put on 5lbs by the evening. Best to go by your clothing and figure shape. I check everyday as I am looking at a pattern of my behaviour compared to my weight. If you are gaining muscle by exercising then you will be heavier, but toner. There is nothing wrong with the odd treat, but eating empty calories of junk food everyday and not burning it off then you will never lose weight. Make small changes so your new life habits become natural. Stopping alcohol and eating less refined foods is my goal. However I do like a meaty pizza 
. Apparently you need to lose 10lb before you drop a dress size. I’ve lost 14lbs but still the same dress size, though they are more loosely fitting.
It’s been a mega busy week so weigh in was today I lost another 1llb so that 2 half pounds in total in two weeks SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
WEEK 0 12S 12.8
WEEK 1 12S 11
WEEK 2 12S 10
Well done. You must be doing something right 
I haven’t lost weight, putting it down to muscle gain . Trying to slim down to a UK size 12. So close, but so far away 
One of the guys on my running WhatsApp group removed the hairs from his legs (maybe to run faster, we didn’t ask ), anyway as you can imagine the stories and jokes that came in, someone forwards this link for Veet Men hair remover reviews from Amazon, made my day 
Hey well it’s been awhile I’d say 4 weeks so I’m now down to12stone 2.5 llbs all in all I’ve lost 9.5llbs it’s slow and steady but I feel that’s the best way to maintain and or keep it off I’m going to carry on but it’s going to be very calm and not rushed. Xx hope your doing well bluebell. Xx
OMG!!
That was the best story EVA!!
I am literally crying with laughter! Ty…
Well done, your target is so close, it does stay off if you do it slowly 
. I try to go by my clothes size, as . I’ve had anxiety the last couple of days, lost 4lb in a day (weighed my self twice to be sure it was right). Sometimes mean people do have their advantages . No seriously I do find it creeps up again, so not recommended.
Ha ha got my jogging group got a woof whistle whilst jogging in town, there was only one guy in our running group so us girls presumed it was for him as he had his legs out .
That’s great, yeah loosing weight through aniexty is not a great way, we loose so much BC our body’s are burning up all our energy resources to try to fight off the aniexty, scary really, but I totally understand it, once I was under a lot of stress and abeixty and I lost 9 llbs in 4 days crazy what stress can do so today I try to monitor myself with emotions and feelings and what I need to put my energy I to and what’s just a waste of time, have a blessed day
Totally agree, I’m letting go those who get happiness of watching people stuffer to hide their own narcissist behaviour behind me. Must be feeling better, I put on 2lbs today have a blessed day too
