    I'm going to aim for 4lbs loss this quarter, please @brambling, which will take me to the stone. Ideally, I'd like to lose a bit more than that before I head off on hols in early June. This is so I can enjoy myself without worrying too much about piling the pounds back on.

    Hope the warmer weather helps everyone feel more perky!

    Thanks for everyone's support!

    welcome back guys 👋

    Suffolksue sorry to hear you are back in pain with the other hip, hopefully it wouldn't be as long a wait as last time.

    I can recommend retirement katejo, exciting times ahead

    A line will be drawn under last quarter, no beating yourselves up allowed and yes that includes me!

    Good luck everyone, let the battle commence!

    Thamks Brambling still can’t believe that less than 2 yrs after the first hip was sorted the same is happening in the other!

    Boohiss - I thought that maybe I did enough on holiday to not gain much but find I'm up 5 pounds which will have to go. The plan was that I would then get down to the half stone mark below (so lose 12 pounds) but that seems a bit overly optimistic. So let's put 5 as a goal. And be surprised if I do better.

    Hey, everybody. I'm back to try again! Aiming for 7Ibs.

    Managed a STS this week somehow but it was a crap week TBH. I had a couple of really bad binge days then tried to cut right back the rest of the week. I need to make more effort to eat like a normal person!😆
