Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 2nd Quarter

Morning all!

Congratulations to all the losers(!) and STSs and forget the blip and start afresh to any temporary gainers.

@Brambling please record -1lb for me.

I've changed my weigh in day from Wednesday to Monday, so I'm more than happy with that.  In fact, to adapt John Cleese, I fell off the wagon once - but I think I got away with it...

Morning everyone wasn’t going to bother but I am back up to 14lbs 13 so will start again nothing to do with thyroid just far to many sweet things and ice cream so will start again today 

I've got an underactive thyroid myself, so I sympathise.  It's just that sometimes you have to run a bit faster to catch up with the wagon! Consider me to be falling off a bike (lousy sense of balance!) alongside you with a megaphone shouting "Go, Izzy.  You can do it!"

Have to say that I've not been very "good" this quarter and daily average calories was over 2100 for the past week and over 2300 over last 3 days.  So not going in the right direction.  I'll be lucky to be a STS at my next weigh-in.

But - last night I arranged blood and other tests at a hospital on 27 June.  I don't want those to show my unhealthy diet and so am reining myself in, starting today.  (At least the Easter egg was finished on Thursday!)

Well, the daily average was 1263 calories for the three days (Sat, Sun, Mon).  I'm aiming for less than 1500 so am very happy with my wagon travel.  Particularly pleased that saturated fats are averaging 10.3g (against target 20g max).

However I'm going out with a friend tomorrow which may scupper the one day figures but should allow for the cumulative averages to stay within bounds.

Next weigh-in is Thursday.

Sorry guys i've just finished work at 10pm with no breaks today due to IT issues, too brain dead to catch up tonight you could all gain instead of lose

I’ve not been very good, still working out but eating is sliding a bit.

Work/life are busy and following the low carb diet was expensive- especially as I’m the only one who can eat leftovers for lunch so stuff was getting binned 😨 so I’m now eating more carbs again. Will try to at least STS the next 10 days til my holiday then when I’m back I’m aiming to have two really strict weeks to kickstart it all.

Does that mean if we gain next week we can blame you?
