Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 3rd Quarter 2022

Gingerlily

Hi

Thank you Brambling. 

I think a pound a week ( plus1 for luck) is a workable goal for me this quarter now my losses have slowed, well pretty much stopped. 

 14lbs please Brambling

I will go for 5lbs again,Brambling. Going to make a real effort to battle the effects of thyroid issues,pernicious anaemia and metformin and continue to lose 5 lbs a quarter. By Xmas would be into the 14 stone zone

I’d like to lose 10 lbs this quarter please 
I’m starting my cardiac rehab course mid August,would like to lose some before then 

You will definitely find the cardiac rehab shows a decrease in your weight.
I did such a course.
Starting weight - March - on scales wearing winter weight clothes, including shoes
Course end weight - early summer - on scales wearing teeshirt and other light clothing, shoeless

Fitness levels will also improve.
Start - They stop you walking when you know you could carry on easily
End - they let you walk for longer

I am somewhat cynical - they want to show the success of their courses - but it was nevertheless good, to meet others in similar situations.

Brunch - avocado and anchovies.

Mid afternoon - quite a chunk from some lovely honey/honeycomb

Later - small piece of son2's pizza and one samosa

Tea - hot dog

Hi can I please join, I won't weigh in or set targets just yet - I am on a bit of a mission to do the easy lb's before I hopefully is ready to move on. I have had 5 weeks of inaction except for walking and have just eaten way too much junk food - but my elbow is better, I have been out running twice and that just makes me more motivated to eat less and feel 'lighter'. Also I need to fit into my wetsuit, so more motivation there. 
I might combine that with intermittent fasting over the summer and try to stick with two main meals and two snacks! As that is more than enough. I really don't like the fact that I don't need to eat very much! Grrr. But I can do it. That and the old portion sizes - it is that easy - she said. 
Hope everybody is well, and I will post my goals when I am ready!

Brunch - avocado and anchovies
