Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 3rd Quarter 2022

jennystarpepper

Don't like to mention the 'C' word, 13 weeks today is 20.12.22, so a potential to lose a stone (well nearly) if you have a loss of 1lb a week. 

I have cut out bread, trying to increase protein, (I struggle as not really a meat eater), snacking to a minimum and take-out food is 3/4 times a year.

Just wondering what everyone else is doing, I try to do my / A version of SW?

Will give it a look Frith... it is definitely working for you.

I have changed diet plans when previously trying to lose weight, just thinking a change might speed things up.

It's fairly gruelling but takes all decision making out of eating!

I am having a meal "off" occasionally this time round (already done 3 months this year and lost 2 stones and now doing another 2-3 months). This fits in with going to the football and the occasional birthday meal. Trying not to swap more than one meal a week.

I'll second the Blood Sugar Diet. It works really well for me and I've lost 10% of my starting body weight so far, bringing me to the top end of my BMI. Having a short break from it for a few weeks and then I'll try to lose another half a stone.

The worst bit I find is something for lunch when out, as most places only offer sandwiches or pasta salad type dishes. At home we have omelettes, eggs, cold meat etc for lunch.

Thank you, will have a look at it.   I've ordered a few diet / weight loss books from the Bay for motivation. 

I agree with lunch struggles, I don't eat eggs, and no red meat and limited dairy.... the struggle is real, lol.

Sssh Jenny don't mention the C word🤫 my diet is based on SW it does work when I do it probably 

STS for me this week, not good as that's for two weeks

Apologies Brambling... I'm not a fan of the C word.

I agree about SW working, I think I just get 'food board' and need to incorporate a few new / different meals into my diet.
