    Can I re-join please?  :)
    I would like to aim for a stone by the end of the three months. 
    I think I will not bother weighing until the end, because gains and maintains send me a bit loopy, and I dont think "oh look I have had a natural fluctuation, stick with it"  which would be sensible, but " Oh no, its all a waste of time, pass me the mini-cheddars"  :#

    Didn't do so well in the last quarter but always find it easier to exercise and eat better when it is lighter and sunnier. Aiming for 3 kg this quarter.

    Welcome back to all returners 🤞

    Welcome Charlie_tribe and good luck.  Nice to see you again Honey 👋 

    Easter is all over, hide any left over chocolate and pop any hot cross buns in the freezer a line is drawn under last quarter and it's a fresh start for us all, we can do this 
    I didn't allow myself any eggs but did have 1 hot cross bun!

    Welcome back Cazann 🙂

    it's not just the hot cross bun it's if you add butter, luckily I don't mind it without

    Hello

    I’m back for round 2. Could you please put me down for 14lbs @Brambling, thank you.

    I’ve had a week off and am starting this quarter 1/2lb heavier than my last weigh in which is marvellous considering the chocolate bunnies I munched over the weekend and there was wine too.

    welcome back Gingerlily no chocolate bunnies for me this weekend but a two years birthday party with a lot of beige food hasn't helped with the diet.  I 've hidden the pack of hot cross buns i was tempted with in the freezer for now I may off load with my skinny nephew
