    well done ginger 👏

    Difficult week following family bereavement so I was happy to maintain this week, I've eaten a lot of toast.

    + half pound after one week into the quarter.

    (My bathroom scales work in metric and actually, the way kilo to pounds conversion works, it would be a STS when converting my weight from kilos to pounds but a 0.3 kilo gain (which is what it shows) equals half a pound. So I've decided to go with the bad news.)

    @Brambling - Sorry to hear of your bereavement.

    Unfortunately +1lb for me this week. I am not sure why because I have been pretty active over the past week (30000 steps on Saturday and a dance class). Thanks
