    Hi

    I’m up another 1.5lb to end this challenge. Just a couple of lbs less than at the start of quarter 1 so not totally back at the starting line at least. I’m still not feeling well after a cold and now some sort of inflammation around the jaw  that will not go away. Am on 2nd type of medication now which does seem to be lessening the pain so 🤞🏻I can start functioning again for quarter 3.

    2lb loss for me today to finish the quarter, or two months since I joined the challenge.☺  Very happy with a total of 1 stone and 1lb loss, however still 4lbs to go just to get me back to where I was at Christmas, and at that point I was a stone over my  preferred weight! Onwards!
