Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 2nd Quarter

@Brambling STS for me this week, it hovered on the 1lb but decided against it"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "6

Well, I think I'd better look for a new pair of scales. (No, not because I've put on!
)
They've been going completely haywire. First they said I've gained half a stone, then said I'd lost half a stone. I eventually managed to get the same reading twice, which was -1lb. It may be safer to leave it as STS though.I leave it to your good judgement!
A budget is like a speed sign - a LIMIT not a TARGET!!

I've been struggling to get my head in the game this time and have been a bit rubbish with my eating/exercise. I started again last week and I've lost 2 lbs.7

.I was so happy that despite my body fighting against me I have managed to lose 7lbs so far this year,to add to the 1 stone I lost last year,after 2 years not losing evan an ounce.and am now losing 2 lbs a month.That feels fantastic to me.So now they put me on metformin this month and I've gone up from 15st 8 lbs back to 15st 10lbs,and even one day at 15st 12lbs.I have about 9 days to see if I can get back to 15st 9lbs so as to at least lose my traditional 1 lb if not the 2 lbs I was now so confident of losing.So no declarations yetWish me luck for getting 5/6 lbs in the quarter6

Well done everyone
Frith great to see you have smashed your target and over 2 stone lost, I know you weren't happy at the start of the challenge but looking at your numbers we can see once you put your mind to it there's no stopping you 🥇🥇🥳
Longhill so sorry to hear about your dogpets do worm their way into our hearts
Suffolksue good to see you back, great that you've managed a STS after a difficult few weeks
General great that you are where you want to be, we will always be happy to see you especially if you are just visiting
Dusty - I think you are another one who needs to let their body adjust to new meds, hopefully the metformin will help with your diabetes and if you're type 2 hopefully if you can lose a bit you can come off of them
Basket i have put you down as a STS at least that way you next week may give you a nice extra 1lb to your loss, could it be the batteries on your scales causing fluctuation (I spell checker corrected that to flatulation which would which is a whole different conversation!)
SammyJ hopefully that hovering lb will appear as a minus next week
MaryC well done on the loss, I'm sure you feel it's not so good as you hoped but you will be finishing the quarter on a loss and not a gain
I know we have a few more days before the next weight in but at very quick count up shows 200lb loss (just over 14 stone / 90 Kilos) so far this challenge👏👏👏👏👏
