Old Style Weight Loss Challenge- 2nd Quarter 2023

Today I found out that I will need surgery on my dodgy shoulder, so that has added to the desire to lose weight as the surgeon has asked me to aim for a 5% reduction in weight before my operation in three months time. That should be doable and I will just have to pull my finger out a little more. As such the birthday meal for DP (he always asks for steak) will have some different sides for me. I'll have a big salad and tomatoes plus some peas instead of steak, chips, and fried tomatoes.

And another week rolls by, its 1.5lb off for me this week so I'm happier than I was last week 😊
It's quite disheartening when you are doing all the right things yet the weight doesn't shift as quickly as you'd like. Muscle does weight more than fat and often accounts for the times that I stay the same. I know I'm fitter and healthier so sometimes losing the lbs is less important than changing the bad habits. Also it helps me feel better about myself which has a knock on effect.
Try to just keep focussed and it will all work out. The important thing is not to give up.

Sorry guys got a little behind, you may have to sack me!! I have hopefully caught every one up
I'll be honest birthday week and I didn't weight inI have drawn a line under it now.
My sister tells me she has lost 12 lbs and is trying the 14/10 intermittent fasting - not eating for 14 hours after dinner so I may give it a go although I do know I can't get away with eating crap during the 10 hours I eat!
