Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2021 - 2nd Quarter

Brambling

Hi All

Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter two 2021   

Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st April until the 30th June (13 weeks) 

You do not have to submit a loss or gain for the first week as it's our starting week, you can post your first loss or gain the week after on a day of your choice.

As usual everyone is welcome - we support and encourage, we don't judge and importantly that includes being kind to ourselves   . All hints and tips welcomed especially during the current time when we may be reaching for food or we are aren't able to buy our usual healthier choices

I've decided that after a difficult period a sea of purple can be off putting for some of us therefore i have changed the lb / kg gained to    also anyone can reset and start again anytime they want.  

Please send me your targets if you are setting one in either lbs or kgs whatever suits you and Good Luck 

NB - Anyone can join the challenge at any point over the next 3 months

I’m in again. I’m hoping to be 10 st 7 by the end of the quarter so I need to lose 8.5lbs. Bit worried that it’s going to be tough with everything starting to open up again and the pull of dinners out and coffees (and cakes!) with friends! 

Good luck everyone! 

Frith

Just for my own reference, I was 14 stones 4 on January 2nd. Now 11 stones 9 and aiming for 10 stones 7 at the end of this quarter.

Brunch - black pudding, tomatoes and mushrooms (to use them up)
Tea - will be salmon, possibly with salad.

I'm in again too and I'll go for 10lb this quarter. I'd like it to be higher but I think this is more realistic (I hope!). Hoping that warmer weather will encourage salads, not ice cream and cider!

Good luck!

Please may I join in, I've been reading along and managed to lose 19lbs in the last quarter, by calorie counting and walking I would like to set a target of 14lbs for this quarter.

Wow Frith 🤩 you have lost 18.5% of your body weight in 3 months - that is phenomenal 🙂

Hi Victoria and welcome to the challenge  it looks like you did really well last quarter 

Frith I think you could be in for a expensive summer, all the new clothes you are going to have to buy 

LittleVoice

Frith - that's so good.  Well done.

I was 8 st 7 lb on 1 January and 8 st 9 lb when last reported.  I fear that tomorrow's start will be even more as I've been eating far too many chocolate biscuits and suchlike.  So, Brambling, please put me down for a 10 lb loss this quarter - and I'll report progress weekly on Wednesdays. 

(I've been 13 st 13 lb so know just how much I need to get things under control again.  I get comments from new friends that I'm obviously slim and don't need to watch my weight but they really don't know.)

Frith

Thank you for doing the maths, @Mrs_Salad_Dodger ! 

SIRENS
