Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2024

Options
Hi All

Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter one 2024 - where did 2023 go!

Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st January until the 31st March.

You do not have to submit a loss or gain for the first week as it's our starting week, you can post your first loss or gain the week after on a day of your choice.

As usual everyone is welcome - we support and encourage, we don't judge and importantly that includes being kind to ourselves  <3   All hints and tips welcomed especially during the current time when we may be reaching for food or aren't able to buy our usual healthier choices.  

I'm sure ideas about cheap healthy meals and free exercise ideas will be welcomed at the moment 

Please send me your targets if you are setting one in either lbs or kgs whatever suits you but only in increments of 1/2 or 1  -  There is no requirement to provide a target or weekly weight ins and no one has to justify if they chose not to weigh in for any period of time

Anyone can join the challenge at any point over the next 3 months  :)

All aboard and Good Luck  <3

    Hi

    Can I join in please? I go to SW but another form of accountability might help me focus a bit more.

    Please put me down for 16lb for Q1, Monday will be my reporting in day, starting 8/1.

    Thanks

  • I would like to join again please. It seems my last target was a bit ambitious, although that did include a holiday and Christmas. 

    I will continue to weigh in on Mondays, and I'll log my starting weight on 1st January. 

    I'd like to try and lose 8lbs this time please. 
  • I'm in again please! I'm doing the 24 in 24 challenge so 24lbs is my annual target- 6lb per quarter theoretically 😉

  • Hi, please may I join in this year? Like @leftatthetrafficlights, I’m also looking to lose 24lbs in 2024, so am looking to lose 6lb during the first quarter. Thanks for the thread @Brambling
