Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 1st Quarter

Clutterbug07

Hello, I'm a bit late to the party, but can I join?  I haven't actually dared weigh myself yet after Christmas to see what the damage is, but I will be brave tomorrow. :-S

Lost a bit of weight for my wedding in October 2021, but not as much as I'd have liked, and since then it feels like all we've done is eat and drink!  2022 is the year to get back on track with our fitness and diet- really need to, all my clothes are feeling far too tight!

I lose slowly, so I would like to be put down for 7lb target for this quarter.  Thank you!

Thanks for that idea....I guess if I split this into 2 so in my mind I'm looking to ensure the regained 5 goes and then not declare any losses until the scale is back to the zero mark and work my 7 from there.

Thanks Brambling!  Need a bit of accountability, and this seemed like just the ticket (plus free, unlike official weightloss clubs)!

Brie if it makes your own accountability easier I'm happy to add to the chart  up to you

No - smaller number are easier and much less depressing.  Even when the overall total is the same!  Mind games!

Goodness me I need to join - combination of Christmas, working from home and menopause and I'm literally rotund. And sad about it so I comfort eat . . .

Please put me down for 10lb by the end of March (will weigh myself tomorrow)

Thank you

Brambling

Welcome beckstar    I'm sure most of us recognise that vicious circle of being depressed about our weight so comforting eating and the dreaded menopause doesn't help, it's what I blame any mistakes I make on the chart 

good luck

I’m up for blaming the menopause- even though it was quite a long time ago 🤣

Had a good walk today. Longer than yesterday so small steps ( literally)

dinner - salmon jacket potato and broccoli- 2 tangerines.

Really happy with that as I haven't been very strict or calorie counted, just cut out booze and been more mindful about my eating.  

Managed to walk the dogs and hit my step target every day so far this month so increased activity will have helped.
