    Hello

    I’ve dropped -3lb since I weighed in on Wednesday so thought I’d do a final weigh in for this quarter which I think brings my total loss for this quarter to 1lb! 

    Many thanks Brambling for running the thread.

    I didn't think to put my overall loss for the quarter which is at least 5lb. It may be slightly more ( possibly 6 or 7 lb) but I can't be sure because of the early inaccuracies I discovered with my scales. I do find that I keep dropping a half pound or pound and then putting it on again.

    Weight hardly budged this quarter - so will say STS for final weigh-in.

    I'm off to the next quarter's thread now to enlist for that.

    See you there.

    Hi all and Brambling as noted I dropped out after a bad week.  I have had to focus on other things like work and sorting out my mental health. All is pretty much good and I'm back doing bits of running and swimming, so will be joining again for 3. quarter. I will weigh in next week and interested to see if I start (hopefully) lower than 2. quarter.
