Three successive days under 16st, which is very promising and will focus me on staying disciplined at the weekend.

9 pounds lost so far this month. Beginning to get into the swing of it now. Plateaued a bit, as expected, from the first week's big loss, but a couple of steady weeks have followed.

This is going much better than my November efforts. Amazing what difference Dry January can make. Already looking forward to piling it all back on instantly after 10 pints, a kebab for lunch and a pizza for dinner at Forest on February 1st

8/1 82.5kg
14/1 81.5kg
21/1 81.5kg
No change, but will take that after a pretty disastrous (but enjoyable) long weekend away with far too much food and drink. The 20k steps a day must have just about balanced things out

I’ve been invited to Burns Night on Saturday - so that’s probably the weight up and end of dry January
1 Jan: 88.9 kg
8 Jan: 88.5 kg
15 Jan: ? (no idea, have been away, no scale)
22 Jan: 88.1 kg
Tough month this, no training and a some bad things on my plate... 7Ibs is way out of reach, have to stick to my short term goal this month - always lose some weight from one Wednesday to another.

Day 1: 16st 3lb
Target: 15st 10lb
Day 22: 16st 0lb
Disappointing despite being really disciplined this week. Gone up a pound since last Wed. Consistently in the 15s at the start of the week but definitely stuck.
I'm wondering if the issue is portion sizes? I've skipped snacks and sweets and eating between meals. Eating loafs of veg.
7lb is going to be a stretch, but I always intended to keep going though Feb and March to get to 15st. I'm not removing January's target - still going for it - but I'm also looking at longer term losses.

Portion control definitely an issue for me……..it’s worth weighing out everything for a meal or two just to understand how much you’re taking in relative to ‘recommended’ portions and associated calories (I always find with things like bowls of cereal for example my ‘normal’ bowl is about double what a ’serving’ says on the box).
That said, as others have noted on here it’s quite usual for weight loss to keep flattening for a week or two and then dropping again, just stick with the good habits

Sounds like a good , sustainable crap-free plan.
Lost 2lbs over last week taking total so far to 3lb - so 15-1 now. Be good to see the back of that 15 number.....

Day 1: 14st 9lb
Day 8: 14st 8lb
Day 15: 14st 3lb
Day 22: 14st 3lb
Another one who's levelled out this week. Not too disappointed as I've not been 100% on it. It's probably the kick I needed to help me get that other pound shifted.
Good luck everyone!
