Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2024

Sleazy

Not a great start 😔

Up 1kg this week -no doubt due to recent excesses.  😔

huh....lost 3 and a half Ibs!
Was not expecting anything really as I didnt feel like dieting this week so thought I was eating at more of a maintenance level.
Def not expecting anything next week now as I have a cold and will probably be comfort eating throughout!!LOL

My first weigh in may be Saturday this week, got a brekkie catch up in the morning (Friday is usually the day I weigh in after a long walk) and secondly my scales may need replacing!

They keep saying 'lo' - no not my weight....and no w either.

Tried new batteries but still the same message.

So fingers crossed Saturday I'll weigh in.

I have scales like that.  
Sometimes pushing the battery down a little, improving the connection, helps for a while.
When that too fails, do check that you are using the right battery.  I had a pack where they all looked the same (flat round things).  I put one in and nothing happened.  So I checked and found that there were actually three differently numbered ones in the pack.  I switched to the correctly numbered one (as shown on the scales) and it's back up running properly now.

A day early for a weekly weigh-in but I might as well report the loss of 1 lb so far.

It worked ok on Saturday, course it did, I've bought some new ones haha. At least if/when it goes I can still weigh in now.

Hey gang. Back again 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you @Brambling for being consistent and running this for us all and thanks to everyone else for taking part and supporting each other! 

Wishing everyone the best of luck 🥳

Some nice losses already and some post Christmas gains which should hopefully get sorted once 'naughties' are consumed 

welcoms back candiii 👋

let's hope the colder weather won't drive us to eat or extra carbs

Really well done everyone. What does it matter if you added a pound or two? Just being here shows you’re aware and dealing with it. 

I’m due to record/weigh Monday morning. 

I still work in British pounds and stones!! can’t get my head round this metric nonsense🤣🤣 plus I like when scales say less 2lbs - looks so much better than 1kg. 

Have a great week everyone x

Pixie_Cosmo

1st weigh in - 1lb loss please @Brambling.

Calorie counting within goal most days, daily yoga and managed my step goal 6 days this week. Quite proud of myself for managing the walks - it's been p*ssing it down all week here. Sunshine this week, so no excuses! 🤞

Tried alcohol free white wine as well... it was ok but not blown away. Think I'll stick with icy sparkling water! 

Hope everyone has a good week.
