Old Style Weight Loss Challenge- 2nd Quarter 2023

Brambling

Ladies STS is good after a four day weekend 👏

Frith could the tummy issues be the iron tablets especially if you're on a high dosage? When I've had to take them they make me terribly constipated and make it very dark / black  (sorry if TMI) 

I woke up with no sense of smell this morning and tested positive for CV 😷 other than that i don't feel too bad, tight chest and tired, hopefully it will stay that way

Hello
Welldone everyone.

Weighday - STS please Brambling. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Was expecting a gain with all the crisps I’ve eaten this week. Am now at the point if I never see a crisp again it’ll be too soon which usually lasts for a month or 2. 

Today is day 1 of my reset week of weighing and counting. Will be eating low carb, moderate protein, higher fat whilst I switch cycles. Am also doing a week of no alcohol as I had quite a bit on holiday and over the long weekend. No plans for exercise other than some gentle yoga this week.

Frith

Get well soon, Brambling.

STS this week. Happy with that as I've had friends staying in the area, so been drinking and eating out more. Also, how vile has the weather been? Not been out walking much at all. I have been decorating and spring cleaning instead. Nice weather due next week so I have no excuses! 
@Brambling hope the Covid has gone.
@Gingerlily think I'll be doing the same this week. Good luck everyone!

I think I've got away with a mild case so far just really tired, a tight chest (asthma playing up) and the sniffles so far I'm working tomorrow morning so will leave a test until Sunday morning as I don't need to go out today or tomorrow and if I'm still positive of Sunday may have to send out for milk.

I lost 1lb when i weight in on Wednesday but since Tuesday I've been eating HM Turkey soup and lots of toast as I've not fancied cooking or eating a proper meal, as I know wheat reflects badly on the scales for me I fear next week may not be pretty

Hi @Brambling so sorry that you have covid. We are just recovering.

 I wonder if it is too late for me to join. I have a lot of reading to catch up on. I have lost 10lb since the  beginning of the year. 4lb of that is due to covid so not as good as it sounds. I would like to try and lose 8lb this quarter. my apetite has dropped naturally and I am hoping to keep it that way. Tips from others would be good as I have at least 2 stone to lose
