Hi All,
I've been quiet this quarter but still reading along.
In terms of my weight I've been losing and putting on the same 3-4 pounds over and over this quarter - I'm taking the positive from that in that I seem to be able to maintain, sort of. The other plus is that I haven't actually undone what I managed to lose in the first half of the year. So, I'm writing off the last bit of the quarter (it's my birthday next week) and in October I will get back to not letting one day derail me for a whole week/month!
Well done to those all still losing, and to those that are still trying! Maybe posting more regularly when we start the next quarter will help me - I'll be joining those on wanting to lose a stone by Christmas.
Have a good week.6 -

Hi,
I forgot to post my results yesterday. I STS and I am happy with that. My last weighing will be the 27th so one last effort to stay with the programme.
Good luck in these last few days of the quarter.5 -
1/2 lb off please Brambling ,bit disappointed,but better than on
no way I’ll make my target this quarter,but at least will be down
Good Luck everyone6 -
I had quite a pronounced bounce up this week which has taken a bit of effort to get back down. I know the cause though - the new 'old fashioned' sweetsbut I'm over the initial shock of how nice they tasted - particularly the pink chocolate mice! So many tastes of yesteryear brought back suddenly. I had over 180 minutes of exercise yesterday!!
On another note - the small loss this week has brought me to another milestone - 3 stone exactly since I decided to do something about my gain. (42lbs) Now all I have to do is stay off the sweeties for a bit longer and I'll reach my fish and chips.
Meeting some old friends from London today for lunch at a sushi restaurant which will have plenty of rice - so expecting a blip up for the next couple of days too. Let's all see what the next week brings.
We should add up the amount of 'collective' pounds lost across the board over the period and see what that equates to as something visual. It's good to see that many people have achieved a downwards movement. I make it this is our last week in the current period - so good luck to all those in a position to be able to try and drop a pound in the final week. You can do it!
My weekly copy and paste bit with the new update added:
Prior to week 1 here, my peak was 200.84lb - I'd started my own weight loss journey a couple of weeks before joining this weight loss journey.
Week 1 start weight: 189.93
Week 2 start weight: 185.85 (lost 4.08lb - declared -4lb)
Week 3 start weight: 181.77 (lost 4.08lb - declared -4lb)
Week 4 start weight: 179.68 (lost 2.09lb - declared -2lb)
Week 5 start weight: 176.81 (lost 2.87lb - declared -3lb)
Week 6 start weight: 174.61 (lost 2.2lb - declared -2lb)
Week 7 start weight: 173.39 (lost 1.22lb - declared -1lb)
Week 8 start weight: 168.21 (lost 5.18lb - declared -5lb)
Week 9 start weight: 166.45 (lost 1.76lb - declared -2lb)
Week 10 start weight: 164.24 (lost 2.1lb - declared -2lb)
Week 11 start weight: 161.71 (lost 2.53lb - declared -3lb)
Week 12 start weight: 159.61 (lost 2.1lb - declared -2lb)
Week 13 start weight: 158.84 (lost 0.77lb - declared -1lb)
On these boards from week 1 to week 11 - 31.09bs lost.
Since beginning my change of lifestyle (3 weeks before) - 42bs lost (Which I make exactly 3 stone in old money)
