C & C I hope you do lose 0.5 lb this week but remember the scales will only tell you the weight now. I weigh daily and find my weight varies by plus and minus 3lbs during the week. So you may have lost on average a pound but weigh on a day when your weight is at the top of the range; which would show as a increase in weight to you.
I feel you need to weigh daily or weigh every few months.
Anyway Iam off to do some packing and planing our long birthday weekend break. The weather forecast is looking good
I will be back fasting on Tuesday and Thursday next week. Hopefully I will lose the few pounds I am bound to put on.
