Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 1st Quarter

zafiro1984

I've spent the last few days getting my head around starting to diet and join in on Q2.
I am going to start my diet today, I got myself organised on my last shop at the weekend - plenty of fruit and veg. The warmer weather is also helping lift the mood.

It does mean cooking two different meals both for lunch and dinner, one for myself and one for DH. I've done it before so it shouldn't be too stressful but it does mean I'll have some 'temptation'  lurking at times, usually puddings, cakes/muffins, biscuits and chocolate which are his favourites. I'll have to see if I can wean him onto less calorific puddings (ones I can have a small amount) as that may help.

Hope everyone is doing well. 

Since I decided to try and cut back for my holiday my face has fallen into everything... well nearly!  2 weeks to go this Friday, have tried on a pair of trousers, they fit which is a win.

So have given myself a talking too and will get on the scales this week when I feel like it.  

Just need Gandalf with his staff to stand next to me when I attempt to fill my face, a bit of 'you shall not pass' must help?

Apologises guys i was reading along but not updating the chart 

Millicent well done in smashing the 2 stone mark this quarter  and Mary well done in getting your stone    I'm on my laptop so no medals (I only know how to find them on my tablet)

I'll create the new quarter in the next day or so ready for the 1st April - goodness knows where the first quarter has gone I fear it is a sign of getting old when you express how time is flying it's something we use to tease my mum about

Hope everyone has a good week

Congrats to everybody who has had actual losses, I will stick to my 3 lb for this quarter and start afresh on the first. Just can't get my head around food and healthy eating. Need to try harder.

First day of my diet yesterday. Did ok (I think) mainly vegetables, some fruit, soup, and a couple of poached eggs - laid that morning, plus one square of 85% cocoa chocolate and 15 pistachios.

Looking forward to Friday. I'm going to weigh myself first thing in the morning.

Frith

Today

Rocky road square and cup of tea
Bakewell tart
Bag of revels
Cup cake

Might have some hummus on toast.

Thought I would be honest! This is what I am eating, before starting on the blood sugar diet again.

Brambling

I think we have all been there Frith  eating before dieting

@brambling sorry for not posting. Never mind falling off wagon, I fell off whole train... . I'm am on holiday from tomorrow but going to spa hotel so hopefully start of lifestyle  improvement. Can I go for 14lb for Q2 please?

jennystarpepper

@Frith , I know this diet well, think it is the 'age' thing, or the start of it, well for me anyway.

@Brambling - can you shove me down for another 10 lb for the next session.  

Not been on the scales yet... we have been giving each other the evil eye.  I have cut down on the crud I have been eating, fruit consumption has gone up, just need to start on the hot dinners / lunch so half a can of soup or something similar... the tins are out on the counter looking at me.  

Tea tonight, carrots, spuds, chicken - tray bake with a chicken seasoning, fresh lemon and its juice, paprika and chilli with a tiny dribble of olive oil as a tray bake and a side salad.
