    I've been away for a bit and just catching up, it's sts for me this week unfortunately but not a surprise to be honest.  Still happy with my progress and I will continue with the next quarter too.
  • Having been ill (again!) for a couple of weeks I’m reporting STS for the last week of this quarter. Sadly I didn’t hit my target this month, but I’ve lost something and not put on so I’m taking that as a win. This thread has been great, thank you.

  • STS for me.

    Diary for neighbour noise has ended, I think the anxiety / stress of having to do this has had an effect on me, hopefully the lighter nights will have a positive effect.  

    I will take things easy for the next few days and then make a serious effort for the holiday for the next quarter... gin and ice cream again.  

    Have a good week everyone, we all deserve a slap on the back for getting this far.

    Gah, I am now so anaemic I can't really do the Blood Sugar Diet.

    I am going to formulate some sort of more healthy eating plan though, with plenty of iron!

    Hello

    I’m still on holiday so not weighing in today. Travelling home tomorrow and will weigh in on Friday at the end of the 1st quarter.

    It’s been a very carby week with a balance of active and relaxing days, am rather curious to see how much I’ll have gained.
