Old Style Weight Loss 2021 - Quarter 1

Couldsavemore

Can I join... even if somewhat late.
Can I aim for 4lbs by end of March.
Am struggling with keeping myself accountable so need some where to ‘report to’ 
Am going to up my activity so may include the inches lost if that’s ok.

Right I usually don't delete posts but I did a panic post last night, and it turned out to actually be unnecessarily negative. I just did my weigh in and it is a sts. So almost in the clear. Thanks all for being here and keeping an eye out. I will keep trying, and I will get back to reading soon as well.

Good morning all, 

I'm here to report a 0.5 lb loss. I'm good with that as it means my meals/life are a bit more normal. I had a call from the gp to say that my blood test on Monday showed that my liver enzymes are down by a third (they're still at a dodgy high level but better than they were) so I'm to carry on doing what I'm doing. I'm going to measure myself and write the results down some time today. I wish I'd done it at the beginning of the year but I think I was probably feelng too rough to care then. 

In other news, I had my covid jab yesterday (key worker). I've had some strange allergic reactions in the past and I'm also asthmatic but I had the Pfizer jab and apart from a slightly sore arm, I've not had any problems. 

Take care all of you 

Brambling

Welcome Couldsavemore I've added you to the chart and good luck

Ditty never feel that you have to weigh in    but well done on the STS - I'm activity avoiding the scales at the moment and building up the courage to get back on them 

Monna speed reading meant i read that as still around and eating!! which actually i can relate to  although yesterday was the first day in a while that I avoided the temptations hidden under the stairs - I have trodden a path to the door since christmas

Cranky I crossed post with you - good news about the test results and the jab - I'm glad you're feeling better

Morning All,

roblou - I hope the Lent trial is going well. I'm nearly 6 weeks into my latest attempt to give up smoking (I seem to manage about 2 years and then stupidly drift back into it...) and am finding avoiding cigarettes a LOT easier than avoiding rubbish food!! I think the fact that you can't completely cut out food makes it much harder than giving up other things

lantanna Well done on the loss, especially when you were dealing with evil hormones

couldsavemore Welcome and best of luck

ditty Well done on the STS and I hope things are feeling a lot less panicky and more positive today

I know that it's for a good reason and that there are people who have it far worse but I really am starting to lose my mind with the never-ending monotony of lock down. When the highlight of my weekend is going to be a walk around a different park a bucket of ice-cream seems even more appealing than normal

Best of luck and stay safe everyone xx

Thanks guys, I think it's the holls @ home thats getting to me.  Relaxing is slightly overrated! So I had a bit of a munch attack last night, but managed to navigate it onto a somewhat damage control type of path. Am still working on disconnecting emotions/stress with food, but does one ever truly get there? This morning I bought lots of fresh berries and made whole wheat spelt American pancakes. A true food festival and a hearty one but it fills you up both emotionally and food wise. And we won't eat dinner together today so I thought a cooked breakfast would be good and proper. And pancakes are our comfort food choice no 1, an American connection. 
We have to pick our battles and I'll be going for a long run later. But I'm happy and to be honest not really particularly emotional or stressed about much else than the usual and quite relevant stuff.
Happy Friday.

Hi same, I had the Pfizer (asthma) and felt my arm was about to fall off for about 24 hours and a bit feeble when exercising the day after, but then that was a 5.5. mile run, so yes basically as expected and I am grateful.

There is a lot of live events, I might have a look and see if I can find some live comedy this weekend. I reallyyyyy need entertaining by now and tv is just fading by the hour, I swear the grand reservoir of tv stuff and movies have finally been drained fully and for years to come!
