Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 2nd Quarter

CCW007

Six weeks tomorrow I start a new job - current weight is 11st 5lb.  Mini goal is for weight to be 10st something when I start new job.  So 5.5lb to lose.  Hopefully this will motivate me to stay on plan!

Pretend you've never met me before.  

I'd like to lose a stone (well, 3, but one will do for now!)

I'm not going to start just yet as I've got coronavirus...

I hope you aren't feeling too ill Frith   😷

I would like to try for 21lb please for this quarter @Brambling. The low carbing is working for me at the moment so will try and carry on with this.
I have previously lost lots of weight on the blood sugar diet but found it really hard to stick to no carbs and put most of the weight back on 😡.
 I have found this time that letting myself have carbs if I fancy them (in moderation obviously 😬) I have found it a lot easier as I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything and will hopefully be able to maintain long term.
Good luck everyone 🍀 🤞
going to stick with a Friday weigh day

Hi @Brambling and everybody can I please join a bit late here. I did not do well in last 2 quarters due to new personal circumstances so I will give it an other shout this quarter to work on my determination, personal well being and adjust my weight back down a hair. My aim is for 10LB (about 4 to get into normal BMI range and a few extra to increase safety margin). I am going away tomorrow so will not really weigh in til I get back, but it should be a fairly activ holiday, but with the odd glass, so should balance itself out. Congrats and I look forwards to an other lovely journey on here.

Welcome back Ditty as you know never too late to join a challenge.  Have a good holiday and forget about dieting until you get back

Brambling

My first weigh in of the 2nd challenge and a disappointing STS  I though I was being good but obviously not!  Back to the boring stuff of menu planning and writing what i eat down, it's the little snacky bits which are my downfall 

Hope everyone is having a good week

Brie

My scales have died.  I think I squashed them to death.  (or they need a new battery)

 I'm sure it's the later, otherwise they just say one at a time please

First weigh in for me and it’s -3.5lb please @Brambling.
DH has kindly passed on his cold to me and as I can’t taste anything I have managed to refrain from eating any treats as this would be pointless!
Still managing 10k+ steps a day and the lighter evenings are certainly helping with this.
