    A complete lack of progress this quarter.

    Let's see where I get to in quarter 2, which finished just after my birthday!

    Final weight this morning was 9st 9.2lbs so just under 4lbs off this quarter- not great at all but at least it's something! Hopefully next quarter will be an improvement 🤞

    So I finished the quarter with a STS for the final week.
    I've already posted a target for Q2 on the shiny new thread.

    Hi everyone! This challenge is such a great way to stay motivated in reaching weight loss goals. I’ve been exploring ways to incorporate budget-friendly, healthy meals and simple home workouts into my routine, which has really helped me stay on track.

    If you're interested, I’ve compiled some practical tips and ideas, which focus on saving money while pursuing a healthier lifestyle. I hope this might be helpful to someone else on their journey. Looking forward to hearing all your strategies too!

    Thanks

    Hi crippymemo we are currently on the 4th quarter thread doing badly! It may be worth asking the question again when I set up the 1st quarter thread for 2025
