Old Style Weight Loss Challenge- 1st Quarter 2023

Izadora

Ditty Well done, you're braver than me as I haven't managed to bring myself to hop on the scales yet.

Well done everyone, there are lots of good losses.

I will get a grip eventually, hopefully before I'm too fat to fit through the front door, but my head's definitely not in the right place at the moment. 

Best of luck everyone and I'll try to join you all properly soon xx

I forgot to weigh Mon/Tues and now I'm staying with DP who has no scales, so I'm missing this week. Hopefully that will mean a bigger improvement will be seen on Monday!

Great loss Ginger 👏

Izadora when ever you're ready 🙂

1lb loss for me this week 🙂 as always I would have liked more but a loss is a loss 🤨

Lost 1.5 lbs this week, thought l done better as had covid and no appetite 😂

I haven't posted since the 16th Jan.

It took quite a while for me to settle into a routine after the initial enthusiasm of the first few days of trying to eat less, so the loss was a bit up and down.

Now, I'm finding I'm hungry and I eat more at lunchtime than in the evening, so lunch is usually soup, leftovers or eggs. I try to stay away from bread but not always successfully.
Dinner has been a variety of stir-fries, a small amount of meat/fish plus loads of vegetables. I've discovered for good or bad (depending on your point of view) ready prepared stir-fry sachets, they're not expensive in money or calories so I use half a packet at a time. The fat I use is coconut plus water if needed.

So far I've had a weight loss of 4lb - it's a start, not brilliant, but provided it doesn't go in the opposite direction, I'll settle for that at the moment. 

I'm not sure if I mentioned it but DH broke his neck at the beginning of last Nov. Fortunately he's slowly on the mend but it will never be as strong as before, however, I now know what 'stress eating' is all about.

2lbs off for me was hoping for more

Brambling

Well done cazann, Zafiro & shabby 👏👏👏

Zafiro well done on doing losing weight under a lot of stress.  My mum broke her neck in 3 places at 86 and it was a long  recovery time, hopefully things are a little easier for the both of you 

I hope everyone has a good weekend

Pixie_Cosmo

Please put me down for 1lb loss this week @Brambling. Was hoping for more as I've stuck to my calorie goal, but a loss is a loss   

Brambling

Well done Pixie I know it's disappointing when the scales are mean to us but remember a pound a week is 3.5 stone a year 🙂
