Good morning. Last weigh in today just to give me a starting weight for next quater. +1lb
Actually not as bad as I was expecting considering some days I've eaten 2 chocolate bars plus other rubbish. I've just not felt great at all and constantly snacking.DH has been on the scales too and im hoping he's going to join me next quarter as we go on holiday at the end of it.LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

STS, taking this as a positive. 3 Weeks until we go away which will help me, swimming, walking and a chicken and fish diet.
Consultant visit was very good, he is taking me on in his NHS clinic, think he was a little bit shocked that I'd not seen a doctor in over a year and that I needed more tests, even if I'm waiting for an appointment, I know I can go back to see him if I feel unwell.
New quarter, aiming to get a bit more movement in, the lighter day / evening last night has perked me up a little.
Hope you have a good week, enjoy the sun if you have some, hopefully the lighter days will have a positive effect on us all.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538

Hi guys
well done in surviving the first quarter some of you made some great losses I must try and learn by your examples. A very quick tot up makes around a 155lb loss for quarter one I hope you are all very proud, even if you didn't make your target you tried 👏👏👏👏
New challenge has been set up for the next quarter please go over there if you want to take part. Ill watch and update this thread for the next few days

I said I'd return just to report on average calorie intake for Q1.
So - I averaged 1755 cals/day
I reckon a maintenance intake would be 1940.
My worst day was 2512 on 8 March.
Now that my bathroom scales are working properly again, I'm looking forward to losing in Q2. See you there.3 -
A word of warning......don't go on holiday for the last few days of the quarter, especially if it's to someplace where there's lots of lush food like France. Undid a lot of my good work...... sigh.....I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

I have ended the quarter in a worst position than I started. I am hoping that with the better weather I can get into a better routine.1
