Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 3rd Quarter 2024

jennystarpepper

So it's not a STS or anything else, after seeing the nurse at the consultant's clinic I've been told not to diet!  Now you would think I'm happy with this, but no, not considering how much I've lost, with more to go.  One of my bloods is not playing ball, but if I portion control and staying away from !!!!!! I should be ok and lose a little.  So, I'm to eat when hungry, sit down when I'm tired and not over do things.  

I'm still hoping if I portion correctly, have a walk, bit of home exercise when I can then I can still lose about 7LB by Christmas, which is still something and about 1.5Lb per month and do able with healthy eating, I'm just happy I've managed to maintain my loss this year and not fill my face with all that is going on.

Well done to everyone, for keeping with it, @Frith you're doing an amazing job, is your chicken tikka your own recipe, or a weight loss one?  Welcome back @Pixie_Cosmo, it's hard getting back on the wagon.

Many thanks Brambling.

Hello, @jennystarpepper. It's just an easy one I made up with some ground almonds and yoghurt stirred through at the end.

Jenny just make sure you take care of yourself as you say there is a difference in dieting and eating healthy

I lost 1 kg this week.

I am still playing with intermittent fasting but reminding myself that just because I have a shorter eating window, doesn't mean that I can eat what I want in that window. My downfall is definitely evenings when I am tired and craving all the sweet things.

I have been mia for a while, but looking at what I last logged here, I am down 1lb. Not what I would have hoped for over the last two months, but better than a gain. I will try to remember to log in once a week, even if it is a gain or a sts.

Brunch - hummus and avocado

Brunch at work - half a slice of toast with jam

Tea - 2 chicken thighs with salad and roasted garlic

Good morning. I've enjoyed seeing what people are eating and realised I can still make huge changes. 
A bit gutted here. I've scrubbed the house top to bottom this week and when I went on scales Friday I was almost 1.5lb down. But after 2 huge dinners at the weekend,  pasta bake and a full gammon dinner yesterday, weigh in this morning was a tiny 0.2lb so it's a STS for me this week please.

Best to avoid weekends completely, I think - I weighed less yesterday than I do for this Monday's weigh-in.

So, I too have to report a STS for today.

I might just forget this week altogether 😔 we were busy all day Monday swapping the kids high sleeper beds for bunks and ended up with mcds, Tuesday I started the fostering assessment and was extremely nervous so didn't eat, then today I've had a huge jacket potato with cheese and beans.
I must take more inspiration from Frith,  your meals sound healthy and nice. 
I have bought leggings for the gym today, now I just have to use them.....

A little bit of success this week. -1/2 lb and this is the lowest point I have reached so far. Now 11 st 11 (74.7 kilos). Unfortunately I might end up putting some back on because I am going on holiday to Andalucia a week from today. 🙂

@charlies_tribe - good luck with your fostering application, I think anyone would have nerves with an application, it's an amazing thing you are doing. X
