Starting to have some belief in my old dodgy knee, been causing problems for years but finally I feel it getting stronger, upped safety bar* squats to 2 sets of 10 at 60kg last night and so far no issues……. Fingers crossed *can’t use straight bar as my shoulders are like steel rods and cant hold the bar……. Like the bloody tin man

Weigh in today 70kg 🥳 it's been a while since I've been this weight and it's good to be back. Body composition is improving too. Since I started my weight loss journey it marks 3 and a half stone lost in total. So anyone in the group who feels their progress is slow compared to others... That's ok, because it works 👏 Uniform is hanging off now though (never thought I'd see the day!) so rocking the old style belt to compensate and to be honest I think they should bring it back for all staff 😂 (feel like I'm on set for Call The Midwife 😆). Had private bloods done and all levels are good so this is very reassuring. Hope everyone else is hitting their goals?! Share your wins.... however big or small! You never know who you may inspire 🙌😊 You all inspire me ✨

1 week since I pressed that help button. Seems like a lifetime has passed in that week. Meds have been increased, and sleeping tablets introduced which have kept me level throughout the day. Crazy how much sleep has to answer for. Fell asleep with J last night and woke up at 11pm which was too late to take them, ended up being up most of the night and has impacted mood today. Took myself for a nap and focussed on my job this afternoon. MH team still visiting and appreciate them doing so. Small wins in the last week; - Getting back on here - Back walking the dog and getting those steps in - Been to the gym twice (not managed a full routine as anxiety took over, but I showed up) - Back making nutrition a priority, although not fully at the point of macro counting. - Created a training plan for the Sheffield 10k with the help of ChatGPT - Got referred for ADHD Sunshine and time with kids is helping.

To everyone in this group who has taken a moment to check in on me & send condolences over the last few weeks ahead of Dad's funeral & sent me stunning sunflowers (& much needed biscuit) in the few days since. 🥹 He arrived like a cowboy, & we carried him into an overflowing crematorium to proper country music. I thought this shot from his service was pretty fitting for this group. That's a solid metal wagon axel weighing about 70kg, with iron wheels at about 35-40kg each, then whatever extra weight he's added on. ...Plus the crushing weight of those sideburns...

May look a little pathetic compared to some of the big guns in this group but I'm sure you all got excited when you first saw yours too 😄🥳
