Final weigh in - STS from last week, 1lb gained overall this quarter. I'm happy with that as I know I struggle with food control and low moods during Winter. Next quarter (warmer weather!) I'm aiming to get fitter. Thanks for running the thread @Brambling

Not really surprised. I was away for a few days and did a lot of walking, but ate more than usual too.

I feel that someone has stolen the first quarter and can't believe tomorrow is the 1st of April. I'll weight in tomorrow to finish my quarter and will monitor this thread for a while.
I have created the new thread for anyone who wants to join both old and new friends are welcomed.

To close the quarter, I'll report a STS - both since the last weigh-in and since 1 January.

Unfortunately I have to say + 1/2 lb. I am still attributing this to my 3 course meals recently. Now 12 st 1 (just for my reference in case I forget!)

Hi Brambling can you put a STS for me for this week. I’ve been down the hospital with my Aunt since Monday it was touch and go but she’s pulled through thankfully. Hope everyone is doing well.
