Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2021 - 4th Quarter

Brambling

No shame allowed here Brie 🙂 

Well done on facing the scales Ditty new month and a new start 🙂

A great loss Jenny 👏👏 I've stopped using my dinner plates and I'm using the next size down which is between the dinner and tea plate size which I think helps with portion size.

My sister left this morning so I'm dreading the WI tomorrow, I was cooking healthy meals but we had lunch at a Turkish restaurant on Saturday and had sandwiches out Sunday and Monday.  We wouldn't mention wine or evening treats 😬

 I'm used to living alone so the cat and I are enjoying having the house back to ourselves, unfortunately my BIL left the opened pack of chocolate biscuits I brought for him to have with coffee (I usually send the open pack back with him) they are no longer a problem

Thank you Brambling.

It is all about finding a balance, dinner plate size is a good idea, my eyes and plate do not always match.

I am trying to do damage limitation, 3 weeks Christmas holiday = ice cream, a few treats and sundowners on the balcony!

In the days when I was very slim, the big fluffy cat and I used to live on tuna  and noodles, lol.  Happy days.

Suffolksue

Very happy with -21/2 lbs off

on more antibiotics, seem to be improving now ,then had COVID booster and had a reaction !
hopefully more off next week 
keep going everyone we can do this

Well done on the loss Suffolksue just sorry it was because you were ill 

1/2lb on for me which considering the wine, chocolate etc eaten with my sister is pretty good 😐 and yesterday was a high carb day 

I hope everyone is doing ok

honeythewitch

Well done everybody for the losses and keeping going.    

I am reporting three weeks worth of losses. Five pounds in total.  1, 2, 2.  I  seem to have settled into my self imposed "rules" now, and it is getting easier.

Hello! 

I think I would like to join this group and see if I can lose some weight. I have been trying since the beginning of the year, but got nowhere. I lose some, and put it back on. On the positive side, I seem to have maintained my weight  

6 years ago I got to my ideal weight, just as I met my partner. 6 years of a comfortable life, of glasses of wine, take-aways on nights we are too tired to cook and I need to lose 2 stones. 

I know what to do to lose weight, but I am seriously lacking in willpower, even though I know it will be better for my health, and I will be happier with what I see in the mirror! 

Initially, I would like to lose 8lbs between now and mid-December.

So, tomorrow, I start again. Seriously this time. 

I am in the "No Willpower" club too, Bella. I can also thoroughly convince myself in the moment that a choc ice or orange aero is part of the  healthy eating plan and a jolly good idea.  

Brambling

Some nice steady losses Honey 👏

I'm afraid my will power took off about 40 years ago

short_bird

 -0.5 (Actually 0.6 so a bit to carry over...) and nibbling... chipping... making inroads into the next stone.

I haven’t had any ice cream or chocolate this week (so far) so if I don’t see a satisfactory loss on Monday morning I will be disappointed and… buying a tub of Ben&Jerry’s lol
