    Final weigh in! Up 2lbs. Overall, I think I am 3lbs heavier than end of last quarter. Mainly due to lack of exercise and energy, so eating more post being ill. 

    Next quarter I am going to focus on getting fitter and stronger.

    It’s really tough losing weight. Why is it so slow to lose yet so easy to put on? Remember lots of water though, I find that helps, Dan

    I liken it to golf (not that I play).

    Best you can realistically do per hole is a birdie.

    Have a bad hole you can hit a 7 or 8.

    Thats how weight is to me, losing in small increments cancelled out and more by bad weeks.

    Sorry guys, have just caught up the last few days, I had completely forgot it was the end of the quarter 🤪 I've lost the plot since I stopped working!

    1lb loss for me this week 
    @Brambling Please add my 3/4 lb loss to the final list for this quarter as well. Just weighed in . This is my lowest on a weigh in day. I did reach the same last week but then put it on again!

    Morning all xx 

    My final weigh on for this quarter and I'm happy to report -1.5 lbs this week.

    That's a stone off this quarter. Bringing me to two and a half stones off this year. I should be disappointed that it's not the three stones off that was my target for June 30th...but I'm not. I'm happy that I've lost 35 lbs. Progress not perfection 😊

    And I'm into a new number of stones, which is always a motivator.

    See you next quarter

    Morning everyone I didn’t realise it’s the end of the quarter I haven’t done very well but I’m pleased to report this is the first time I’ve done a low carb diet and stuck with it and I’ve lost 8 pounds I don’t expect this every week but it’s a good start and makes me feel motivated to continue
