Old Style Weight Loss Challenge- 1st Quarter 2023
Comments
-
With the excuse that the BB date was April, I had a whole 100g bar of chocolate on one day and over-indulged in the final week of Q1. Result - gained 1 lb. So actually only lost 2 lb of the 4 lb I had aimed for.
I don't need to lose any weight as BMI is 20.7 but I will continue with the Q2 challenge to lose at least 2 lb as I will be happier.0 -
Lost 1 lb this week was actually disappointed but lm not giving up xCount down to retirement 20231

-2lbs this week 🙌 very happy with that as I was away at the beginning of the week and had to eat pub food! Avoided the burger rolls though so think that helped 😉'Happiness is not a destination but the journey you walk every day'
