Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2021 - 3rd Quarter

Blue_Doggy

Hi there!
 

Well done honeythewitch, for both the loss (measly though it might be it’s still the equivalent of a pack of butter gone), and for sticking to your diet. Do you think the heartburn is just your system adjusting to your new regime? 

 

The day started well, but I had to go to the launderette today after a zoom meeting. I should have had an early lunch but wanted the chance to line-dry the washing, so foolishly I went before I’d eaten and was seduced by the chippy next to the launderette. I shan’t be doing that again, because I’ve felt quite unwell all afternoon. Just longing for the end of lockdown and also for infections to go down and I can replace my very broken washing machine!
 

B - porridge with raspberries
L - (or possibly D - ) fish and chips
D - (or maybe T - or even S - ) yogurt & blueberries if I can face them

Hi @Brambling sorry I'm joining a bit late, but my hiking holiday turned out to be a bit more of a driving holiday. We did go surfing though yesterday, and I realised have a lot of work to do on my little skinny spaghetti arms. Anyhow I want to get back on my journey with you guys so please sign me up for 6lb, it's not much, but will make a massive difference once I get there. So no more crisps or chips or chocolate for a while. Thanks for continuing the challenge.

Nice to see you back Ditty 🙂 hope you had a good holiday? 

Blue I replaced my dish washer last year and used a local company (they have several shops in the county) the advantage for me was the disconnect as well as connected which most places don't. I felt really safe with them they both wore masks etc 

Honey a 'Pollyanna' once told me a half pound a week is nearly two stone a year 😁

Went to do my once a week shopping this morning. I actually took a list and didn't deviate. Lots of salad/veg and fruit bought.

B:0
L : slice of ham, lettuce and fruit
T:- egg salad, 2 mini wraps. strawberries and almost the last of the calorific yogurt.

-1.5 which is a bit of a shock tbh!

Congratulations all whether it's losses or learning

I think I might have eaten Honey's 1/2.
+1/2 gain for me this week, pretty pitiful start for me, I have decided to switch from SW to calorie counting, I've never tried it before, I know it's not massively different but I think portion control is my biggest problem (in that I don't) so I'll give it a go and see if it helps, I'm hoping it will help me eat fore mindfully 

Coveredinbees!!!!

First check in, I have lost 2lbs. Oh yea!

Congratulations lovely losers 👏👏👏
Commiserations gallant gainers 😢😢😢
 
Brambling sadly I need more than the delivery firm, I need a handyman first to dismantle a work surface and then to unjam the machine from where it danced itself to when its weight got dislodged (washing a “washable” rug, long story).

 

Luckily a sensible day today,
B - porridge with blueberries
L - ham salad; small piece of cheese with olives
D - liver, bacon, mushrooms, onion, cabbage; strawberries & yogurt
S - 2 oatcakes with marmalade

Sirens:- I have always had the same problem, combined with eating very quickly. Before we retired we both used to eat at top speed because if the phone rang it meant having to quickly go into work.
Try using a smaller plate, mine is smaller than a dinner plate but slightly larger than a side plate, I think the term is a 'lunch plate'  That works well for me as the plate looks full.
Eating quickly is a harder habit to break, I've tried putting my fork down between mouthfuls - didn't work, I've tried having a drink on the table - didn't work, I've tried chewing for a set number of times - definitely didn't work, so I still eat my meals at top speed.

Friday
B:- 0
L:- cup a soup, apple and raw vegetables. I much prefer raw vegetables to cooked ones especially cauliflower
T:- salmon, HM Waldorf salad minus the walnuts and with light mayonnaise, lettuce. followed by no sugar jelly, last of the strawberries and last of the calorific yogurt. 2 squares of 85% dark chocolate.
