Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2024

signing off for the quarter as I'm on holiday now til after Easter. I have a feeling that I won't lose any weight during this time. I'll be on a cruise so the daily routine will be breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevenes, lunch, tea, dinner, supper and midnight buffet. Unless of course the seas are rough and I can't eat at all as a result.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Have a fantastic cruise Brie ⛴️ I think the trip is to wear any clothes slightly tight during the first few days or it won't fit!Hopefully I'm all caught up and thank you for all those who weighed in 👏👏 even those who were coloured purple
I phone the doc surgery for blood results and need to see the doctor, no appointments until the end of April so not that bad! I need to pull my finger out / wire my jaws so I can say I've lost some weight before the 'conversion' I know is coming 🫣 my body has decided it's turning 60 and is falling apart 🙄
have a good week everyoneLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin7 -
It's been a busy 2 weeks for me. Took on some extra work, which has been great for the bank balance, not so good for my exercise and eating routine. So pretty pleased that I have STS.
Twinged my back during my workout yesterday. Still bit sore but doesn't seem serious. Probably a sign I need to work on my core.2 -

Hi
Weigh day -1lb please Brambling.
I’ll just keep carrying on with what I’m doing. I’m used to the 3 meals a day now and eating later. Still troublesome thinking of all those meals to have. On the menu is Spanish chicken tray bake, sea bass in a vinaigrette with veg and a boiled egg salad plus10 more main meals no idea what. 1 meal is out which will include🥂 I’m having alcohol 1-2 nights a week.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025

Another 2lb loss this week. I feel like a student revising the night before a test.I’ve cut out a lot of foods that don’t agree with me and I’ve upped my protein intake. It means I loose weight but go over on my food budget because meat costs more than bread.I’m hoping to be able to reintroduce bread at some point but for now it seems I’m better off without it.Save £12k in 2024: £13,542/£12,0005

Half a pound up for me this week. Disappointed - will try and end on a bit more of a high next week.3

Hi everyone, a pound loss for me this week.
I've walked my backside off and (thought I'd) eaten a bit better so I have mixed feelings but overall, its a loss!
Really need to string a few of these together now.
Well done everybody, next weeks a new start.3
