Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2024

Foofoopuppy

Hi all,
Weigh in for me today - down 1lb. Cutting out sweet stuff for lent seems to have given me a kick start.

I'm very achy from doing a gym class yesterday, but pleased because I'd missed the ones during the week (one due to a meal out!) so I'm glad I still have a loss. Now I just need to keep it up...

Wishus, I hope you are doing better x

Morning everyone I’ve failed miserably but still want to join in I go on holiday next week but I am going off my weight today as a starting point I retire at the end of this week I will have more me time and more time to prepare meals and excercise I’m not making excuses but my head just hasn’t been in it I joined WW last year and lost three and a half stone in a year I have put it all back on what a waste of time and money I won’t rejoin it’s not for me but I feel focused now well done to everyone

Thanks for the WIs everyone 👏👏 sorry for late catch up, every week I swear I'm going to keep on top of you 🙂

Roundtuit well done on your 1 stone  loss 🥇 

Willow-Loulou I have some hip exercises I can do on my bed so not sure if you can find something you can do laying down.  With regards to arm strength I know someone who uses two tins from the kitchen (standard 400g soup or beans)  one in each hand and does basic exercises with those I think it's called the tin can arm workout if you google it 

wishus you are doing really well in difficult circumstances cut yourself some slack   one day at a time 

IzzyBee once the dust settles after your retirement and did I see you were going away (or was that someone else?) it will hopefully be easier to focus, I'm saying that as I'm in the same boat and hoping once I retire at the end of May it will be easier 

catz well done on breaking even when all around you is falling apart menopause and HRT will make weigh loss a challenge.  And well done on the trousers as SW use to say a none-scale victory 👏

have a good week everyone and don't let life grind you down too much

@Brambling that’s a perfect suggestion thank you! I will give tins a go. 

IzzyBee

Thanks brambling I’m sure you are right I will feel like a new person when I come back from my holidays

I am down 0.5kg which puts me back to where I was 2 weeks ago. 

My real struggle is the late night sweet cravings. I avoid buying biscuits or chocolate to avoid the temptation but it just means I end up making cakes in mugs or having lots of hot chocolates.

I have the same issue, I’m trying so hard not too but I seem to have zero willpower sometimes. 

I made the mistake of buying Easter eggs to send to my daughter and well, they didn’t make her parce!

Not doing good, DH is unwell, got lots of hospital this week too so taking some time out. Will be back in the not too distant future. I am NOT throwing the towel in, just taking a short hiatus. Keep up the good works while I’m away xx
