    hi guys


    4th quarter thread has been created - who stole 2026? I will run this thread so everyone can finish their weigh ins for the 3rd quarter.

    @Brie are you able to remove this from the top and add the new thread please 🙂

    My final weight loss of the quarter, and I've lost 0.5 lbs. As ever, thank you for organising this thread, @Brambling. See you in the 4th quarter.

    I leave the quarter with the same weight as on 1 July as my final weigh-in shows STS.

    So I'll see you over on the Q4 thread.

    Apologies everyone.

    I've been finding it difficult to eat healthy and loose weight plus keep up-to-date here.

    I really am sorry if I'm messing around.

    It may be sensible to take a step back for a while.

    Thank you all for being supportive
