Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2025

Brambling

Hi All

Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter one 2025

Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st January until the 31st March.

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 definitely join for the 1st quarter of 2025 but with a less ambitious target after not being very successful in the current quarter. Overall I have stayed the same! I will post my last weight for 2024 tomorrow morning.

Good evening. Ive just done Mt last weigh in for 2024. I'd like to go for a similar 20lb loss over the year, taking me to just under 9st so for the first quarter I'd like to aim for 5lb please. I need to finish all these christmas chocolates everyone brought me first.
Good luck everyone x

cheerfulness4

I'd like to join again with a 20lbs target for the quarter please. 

Suffolksue

I may rejoin SW on a Saturday so that will be 2 weigh ins a week which Will hopefully encourage me . 

Will set the first quarter target on Wednesday 
Thank you Brambling 

Bella_Budget

Can I join? I would like to lose 28lbs over the year so would be setting a 7lbs weight loss goal for the first quarter. Good luck everyone. 
Thanks

Brie

Another one trying yet again to lose that half a stone.  I am convinced I've def shed the 2 pounds to get me to the stone mark and have dipped down 2 - 3 below that but for some dang reason I've not kept it off.  If anyone thinks of a good excuse please let me know!!!

So the aim now is 7 lower to get me a bit more likely to get smiled at when I finally get knee consultant sometime in 2026.
