Hi All
Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter four 2021
Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st October until the 31st December (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 aren't able to buy our usual healthier choices
Please send me your targets if you are setting one in either lbs or kgs whatever suits you but only in increments of 1/2 or 1 - There is no requirement to provide a target or weekly weight ins.
NB - Anyone can join the challenge at any point over the next 3 months
All aboard and Good Luck

I can lose weight pretty fast. For a change, I’d like to concentrate on eating better and actually doing some exercise! I painted my room yesterday and can barely move today.
I lost 2.5 stones in the first quarter of 2021 but I’m sure it’s all gone back in on again. I’ll have to set the Wii and Wii fit board up again and check...7 -
