    sorry guys I've stuck my head in the sand over weight which meant I also ignored the thread after the weight talk from the nurse on Tuesday I braved my scales yesterday and I'm now 0lb lost for the quarter, I should probably blame the heat for not eating this week and bringing back down to that.

    I promise to catch up after volunteering tomorrow or Saturday and will clear the third quarter challenge

    Morning all

    Last two weigh-ins are +2lb and -2.5

    I totally lost the plot (life admin 😩) and have reset myself as of now (now, now, now, echo .... fade to black)

    Lost 2Ibs this week, very happy with that.

    Mostly happy that I havent binged or restricted all week and actually eaten like a 'normal' person!😄

    Looking back I think I have now lost a grand total of 6Ibs this year….so 1Ib for every month. Definately not my greatest attempt!LOL

    Forgot to weigh myself this morning so will go with Sunday's weigh in - STS. Overall I'm 2.5lbs down from the start of the quarter. Thanks @Brambling for hosting and hopefully next quarter will be better!
