Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 4th Quarter 2023

Pixie_Cosmo

Managed a 1lb loss please @Brambling :-) I've stuck to my daily calorie 'allowance' and met my daily step target. 

I made a roasted spicy parsnip and sweet potato soup this week as I was using the oven anyway. It wasn't as spicy as I'd hoped, but nice and filling. I've still got sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots to use up. I guess root veg and lentil soup is on the menu next week 😋 Or roast veg and halloumi salad or similar. 

Hope you all have enjoyable weekends!

2.5 lb off for me, even with a holiday with 3 meals a day buffer style, and access to snacks. I did walk 33k steps one day and 28k steps another day though

Well done Pixie, Cazann and flamingo 👏👏. Flamingo looks like you had a good holiday and wow on the walking that's a lot of steps 

just had to remove the cat from laying across my bust I'm thinking if it can hold a 4.5kg cat maybe I need to get back on track for the dieting 🫣

First week in and 1.5kgs down to 104.5kgs.
Slightly misleading due to weigh in times but hopefully the start of consistent losses.
Last 2 days I've done more walking too, something I love but have let slip.
Thankyou for doing this 😀

Lost 1 Ib this week. Hoping its not due my diet coz I stuck to my deficit most of the week and even dropped down to 1200 cals on 2 days (not deliberate!). I like my food too much to do that on the permanent!

Hi folks, can I please join in?  I've joined before, a long time ago but weight loss seems to be my nemesis and apparently the only way is up (for me anyhow) but looking to the future I want a happy, healthy and long retirement when it comes in 5 - 8 (hopefully) years time and I need to start working on the 'healthy' bit now.  My weigh in day is a Friday so I will post a starting weight and goal for the rest of the quarter then.

Welcome to the challenge Allie23 and good luck

well done Catz and Bazza for your losses 👏👏

I hope everyone has a good week I'm now off to freeze the half batch of scones I made earlier and have been munching my way through, the only good thing is as I've been eating them warm I've eaten them with no butter, cream or jam 🙄

Pleased to report a 1lb loss on this week's weigh in.

Also pleased that I have gone down a band size in bras, and I tried on a dress today that I haven't worn since before the pandemic and it fit 😄

I'm especially pleased with this because we had some bananas turning so we made them into a delicious banana bread on Friday that has already disappeared 🫣 but that was eaten between me and Mr Puppy, so I obviously did a good enough job of reining it in!

2.5 LB Please Brambling.  Think you had me down as 9.5 loss when it was 8.5, anyways 11 LB down so now playing for ice cream and gin for holidays, 5 weeks to go.  

Hello to all the new members, well done for all the losses.  

More clothing has been re-cycled, put aside for Ebay and cut for cleaning.  Mr Pepper was sent to the spare room, thought I had one bag of coats / jackets from my slimmer days, turns out I also had a huge travel bag full of clothes, only thing I didn't find was swimwear to fit, bikini bottom saga continues.

Have a good week everyone.
