Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 4th Quarter 2022

Hi All
Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter four 2022
Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st October until the 31st December - although if we are honest it will probably be until the 23rd December
You do not have to submit a loss or gain for the first week as it's our starting week, you can post your first loss or gain the week after on a day of your choice.
As usual everyone is welcome - we support and encourage, we don't judge and importantly that includes being kind to ourselves
. All hints and tips welcomed especially during the current time when we may be reaching for food or we aren't able to buy our usual healthier choices.
I'm sure ideas about cheap healthy meals and free exercise ideas will be welcomed at the moment
Please send me your targets if you are setting one in either lbs or kgs whatever suits you but only in increments of 1/2 or 1 - There is no requirement to provide a target or weekly weight ins and no one has to justify if they chose not to weigh in for any period of time
Anyone can join the challenge at any point over the next 3 months
All aboard and Good Luck

I'd like to lose 21 lbs, please.
I'll then be 10 stones something, no longer overweight, and will have lost 4 stones this year...7 -
I'd love to join again, target is 12lbs please
That will bring me to my target weight, so fingers crossed I can stick at it - I have had more wobbles of late haha£12k in 25 #14 £10,474.10/£18k 24 #14 £15,653.11/£18k 23 #14 £17,195.80/£18k 22 #20 £23,024.86/£23k8 -
Thank you again Brambling, I'm sure many will agree we would not lose without this support.
Usual 10lb for me. 10 Weeks to holiday, must keep repeating my holiday mantra, no toast and OJ in the morning.
Frith, you are an inspiration, that's an amazing loss.
Van_Girl, keeping mine crossed for you.
