Hello

Hi Brambling, please add me in again for this quarter, 12lbs please!
I absolutely lost the plot in quarter 1 and have put back half of what I lost last year. But that's ok, back to it! My overall target is 19lbs, but think I'll aim to do it over 6 months, feels a bit less scary that way
Good luck everyone£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/£23k4 -

I’ve managed to gain +1lb in not quite a week! Still got that holiday feeling, too many🍹and crisps. As it’s Easter and there’s a pink chocolate pig and a couple of gluten free hot cross buns with my name on I’ll start the counting and tracking and lowering of carbs next Wednesday no excuses.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025

Have a lovely Easter everyone, hope you get time off work (if relevant).
We have an M&S Turkey crown for Sunday, I will be having it minus spuds, gravy and Yorkshires... this will cancel the Gin and Chocolate, hopefully! Monday will be leftovers with a salad...but not everything goes to plan.

Happy to report a 1lb loss this week please @Brambling :-) I'm not massivly into hot cross buns or Easter Eggs, so hopefully resist stuffing my face. Bit of sunshine due, anyone got plans? I'm hoping to get some walking and gardening in. Hope you all have a good week.4
