Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 4th Quarter 2024

Brambling

Hi All

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

Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st October until the 31st December, although i appreciate people will probably want to stop before Christmas! 

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

I will aim to lose another stone, please. I'd love to be less than 12 stones. It would be the first time in 12 years. 

ETA  - I am now 13 stones 1 and started the last challenge at 14 stones 6. 

Brambling

Welcome back Frith, seeing on how well you have done the last few weeks I think you should make that by Christmas 

Angelica123

I am aiming for 3kg please.

Good morning. Thank you for the new thread.

I think with winter and Christmas approaching I'm going to aim for 7lb as I know I'll be living off hot chocolate, I hate the cold weather. It'll take me to about 2st lost this year.

I was talking to DH last night and mentioned he'd have to help me with the tape measure as I need new bras, they're all now way too big, I always lose the weight from there first. I mentioned that I'd lost 1.5st now but other than being able to fit in my smaller jeans, I didn't feel any different. DH said that he could tell as my thighs looked a lot better, he said they were starting to look really fat. Not sure if I was happy or insulted 🤣🤣

Good luck everyone!

Hi xx

Count me in again please Brambling. My target is 14 lbs off please. (I'd actually like to lose 17lbs and start the new year exactly four and a half stones lighter but with the wedding and Christmas to negotiate I'll say 14 lbs).

Thank you for keeping the thread running. Let's do this! 💪

Gingerlily

Hello

Ever the optimist could you please put me down for 14lbs, thank you Brambling.

I will weigh in on Fridays this quarter. Mondays still don’t work for me it seems. Fridays never really worked for me either as it was yay the weekend starts now. Am trying to reframe to new diet week let’s get off to a good start and not go wild Fri & Sat nights and Sunday lunch.  

Smudgeismydog

Hello everyone,

I really want a good last quarter, so that I start 2025 feeling more comfortable with how I look than I have for the last couple of years.

starting weight 81.7kg
target 75kg

My goal is therefore 6.5kg 😬

we’ve got this 💪🏻

Brambling
