Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2021 - 3rd Quarter

cymruchris

I’ve had a bit of a frustrating week - whereby my exercise is up, my calorie intake is down, and for a few days the weight just wasn’t moving. (It actually went up one day). It finally dropped a little this morning to give me a loss of just over 2lbs, but as always I felt it should have been more with the effort exerted - but never mind - every step downwards is a step towards the end goal. On my last weight loss there were some plateau periods. 

Yesterday I did a 17km bike ride and a brisk 4km uphill walk on a treadmill, I also kept my calories to around 800 (I tend to watch data a lot - and use an Apple Watch which tracks my movement and exercise) does anyone here also use an Apple Watch? This was my yesterday:

It’s always good to see all of your drops, and hearing your stories, I know we’re all at different stages, with varying degrees of success - so even if you’re ‘sts’ing a lot - don’t be too hard on yourself, even that’s an achievement. Our bodies are strange things.

Loss -2lbs

Good afternoon everyone 

Had a good couple of days with little cravings which were easily ignored. I have been cooking a lot more as I am making 2 different meals mostly. I don't mind as long as they can be prepped first thing when I have some energy.

Todays meals are :
b - sausage and a couple of hard boiled eggs
l - carrot sticks and houmous 
d - all the little bits that have been leftover this week and salad
s - scotch egg and an apple

My alternative flours and other bits and pieces have finally arrived so I will be experimenting tomorrow  .

Well done losers and congratulations on breaking your stone cymruchris 👏

I can relate Sue once it's in the housekeeping can ignore the size of it and just pig out, looks like you've managed to draw a line under it and started again 🙂

I'm happy today 😁 this week my no process sugar or unhealthy snacks worked this week with a 3.5lb loss 😁. I may not be smiling next WI as I'm on holiday next week 😬

I will be away in Cornwall next week but will try and keep up with your WIs

hi all been  hectic this week   been trying to keep up my food logging steps etc  but TOM  meant I ate  everything lol I weighed myself on 3rd  and I've lost 9lbs since the start of July   using different scales at Drs confused me so I'm sticking with once a week  using the boots  scale I think  keeping my print outs in  my food diary will help keep me motivated and see where  I've gone wrong or right 

 I'm also trying to track inches once a month and I've lost 3 inches at my waist  and an inch each at  chest hips thigh and arm.

 any advice for the monthly sweet carb chocolate craving?

9 lbs in a month is fantastic 
that’s 108 lbs or 7 st 10lbs in a year 

SIRENS

Slinking in with a gain of +2lb this week, I lost the plot on Sunday as was way over my calories, still adjusting from SW to CC.
Finally back to work on Saturday after nearly a month of isolation (first the branch was shut for a week, then my family caught it, then me!) so hopefully that should help as I'll be on my feet all day so my steps should increase 😃 I'm free from tomorrow and am planning a lovely long walk (despite the threat of rain)
todays meals
L quesadillas with ham and cheese
D balsamic chicken with cherry tomatoes and noodles
going to have a chocolate mousse later and have bought some sugar free jelly (thanks for the tip x)
Have a lovely time in Cornwall next week Brambling x

 any advice for the monthly sweet carb chocolate craving?

Dont' know how 'carby' you need or calories... Treats I have

Popcorn
Pink N Whites
T3sco and S&M do low cal toffee, choc, fresh cream meringue you could have one in a bowl with strawberries and rasps.
Mr Kip 99 cal choc cake bars are good
Skinny c0w Mint N Choc ice cream on a stick are nice
Curly Werly

Or just have a nice slice of cake, enjoy it / gets it out of the system.... and be good for the rest of the week. 

Brie

I'm not moving.  And neither is my weight.  

I think I'm beginning to see a connection between the two.
