Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 1st Quarter

Broomstick

Hi, Can I join in too?  I've already shed a couple of pounds this year and am aiming for 14lbs per quarter. Starting from now, can you put me down for a goal of 12 pounds loss by the end of March? 
Many thanks,
B x

I forgot ( genuinely) to weigh on Wednesday ,yesterday I hosted my U3A wine group and today I have been out for lunch !l will be working very hard to pull this back by next Wednesday.Does anyone else find that once you fall off the wagon it is very hard to retrieve the situation?

@Suffolksue
to which wagon do you refer???  the food wagon? the drinks trolley? or the "get up off my fat petutty and put in some steps" one?
I'm feeling like I'm flat on my back next to all 3!

Me too 😬

Sue I'm often the one running behind the wagon trying to catch up 😐  like you I can make a brief tumble into a weeklong event, subconsciously my brain tells my belly that the diet is ruined for the week so I'll start again next week 🙄. 

I've hidden chocolate in the freezer and I'm thinking of going to bed to avoid digging it back out again as I'm determined to behave this week

Hi all

i totally hear the waggon falling. ‘May as we’ll be hug for a sheep as a lamb’

Friday is one of my non calorie restricted days. I don’t go particularly mad - dinner was a veggie steak slice with oven chips, beans and salad and then a handful of Xmas biscuits for pud. I hope I don’t regret it tomorrow morning when I weigh!

Had a gorgeous walk in the sun along a local river. We have a visiting seal and I saw it for the first time today. Then a cormorant flew overhead and a pied wagtail crossed my path. Well worth getting out for (and 369 cals burned)

12 mile walk planned for tomorrow if friend and I can both manage it! I hope so

First weigh in for me this challenge and a loss of -5lb, I realise it's probably, mostly water weight, but I did put some weight on since last year. I've also restarted the c25k so hopefully that should help x

Hi

Sorry for your loss Sirens.
Hope the faller overs, stumblers,  bashed and bruised are recovering. I’m dreadfully clumsy as I have balance issues and trip up a lot! 

Thanks for adding me Brambling. 

Was weigh in day yesterday and I need to be much more mindful than I thought I was being this week as it’s a STS. 

I’ve bought the updated book of the diet I lost with last year so will have a read of that this week and try and get my head around calorie and carb counting again.

Well done everyone and keep going.

Weigh in day and I've lost 2lb.  Now at 12st 3lb so hopefully by the end of the month I will break into the 11st category.  That will be such a psychological boost and it's when I plan to restart C25K which will hopefully help weight loss.

Sticking with Dry January (except my planned one day off), walking the dogs and hitting my step target every day.
