@Brambling Thanks. I won't be able to record an update early next week due to being away but I have lost a further 1/2 lb since Tuesday so please add that for me.

Yet again still as I was at the beginning of the quarter.
So my line on the chart should look like
General_Grant 0/5 👿/😇/ STS / STS / STS
I'm in Spain (like Katejo) from Monday next week but will report on my return home.

dammit, +1Ib this week.
Very miffed as I kept to my diet. Although I wasnt as active as usual due to being stuck at home lots for deliveries and workmen this week, maybe thats had an affect.
