Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 3rd Quarter 2024

Brambling

Hi All

Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter three 2024.

Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st July until the 30th September.

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   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

Thanks Brambling 

Can I join again please .
my new hip is a month old and I’m raring to go!
weighed this morning and I’m a bit up on my last weight pre op but not as much as I’d expected 

Please put me down for 8 lbs , Obviously I hope for a bit more ,but that would be a good start .
Thank you for all your hard work 

Brambling

Another quarter starts, where has the first two gone?  unfortunately my scales seem to be stuck! my sister and I had a weight discussion yesterday and have set ourselves a 2 stone challenge with half stone non food rewards with the promise of a European city break if we reach the 2 stone, hopefully we will be able to encourage ourselves to reach our targets.  My nephew will keep my sister on track unfortunately the cat is unable to do that for me so fingers cross making it a sibling challenge as well will work

Good luck everyone

Welcome back Sue I'm glad the new hip is going well and congrats on keeping most of your previous loss off.  I'm currently living with hip pain but not operable yet, it will greatly benefit from me being lighter 

good luck

I'm in again please 😁 

I will set my target and report my starting weight tomorrow (and update the last quarters thread). I know that I haven't hit my last target - I had a fall in May which led me to feeling sorry for myself and start drinking again and eating rubbish so I'm not expecting anything pleasant on the scales in the morning! 🤦‍♀️🙄

However, I've been sober for 11 straight days today and intend to stay that way - dh is under strict instructions not to buy me any rubbish to eat and my knee is healed enough now to restart my daily walks so I'm hopeful for this forthcoming quarter 🤞 

I'm going to report weekly this time to help me stay more accountable too! 

Sorry that turned into an essay!! 🤦‍♀️😂

Have you decided on a city yet  @Brambling? If you have, print out some piccies and put them on your fridge/freezer/cupboard doors to remind you whenever you are heading towards stuff you shouldn't be eating! 😉 Pop one on your purse too so if you go to buy anything dodgy it will make you think twice 😁

Welcome back Left and well done on your 11 sober days 

We have said Amsterdam for the city break but going back to Barcelona also appeals

katejo

Thanks @Brambling . Please add me as well. My target this time  is to lose 10lb. I got close to my last target but not quite close enough. Today I have done over 13000 steps but.....

I went to Amsterdam for my birthday this year. If you want to visit Anne Frank house, you need to book ahead.

Thanks for the info katejo 

IzzyBee and Katejo welcome back and good luck
