14.5 stones this morning. The heaviest I have ever been in my life!
Brunch - salad with olives and anchovies
Tea - hotpot made with onion, mushrooms and chestnuts. (BSD recipe)
Exercise - 2.5 hours clearing a path with other volunteers locally6 -
Eugh, I didn't have the best day eating wise... started out well but then started craving all the bad stuff.
I did manage 13K steps though, so swings and roundabouts
I'm going away in a couple of weeks so have the always fun job of trying on my swimsuits from last year, I keep putting it off. I don't think I'm too much different from last year, may even be a little smaller so hopefully they'll be okay. But really do need to start remembering I'll be in a swimsuit very soon every time I reach for a packet of sweets

Massive headache now, after 2 days with no sugar.7 -
HelloWeigh day for me -2lb please Brambling.
I like to weigh in on Wednesdays as it works best in my head I’ve found. Not quite a week into the 3rd quarter though I was the same weight last Wednesday as I was on the 1st July at the start of this challenge so sort of a week.
I’ve just been more mindful of carb consumption this week and tried to be less sedentary when the pain medication has kicked in, still not up for proper exercising though.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025
