Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2025

General_Grant

I'm so glad there are only a couple more days left for this quarter.
Today I found a note from January 2024 and realise I now weigh around 5 lb more than I did back then (which was close to being the least I had been for about 35 years).

I'm currently about 0.4 kg less than when accuracy returned to weigh-ins because of the digital scales but that didn't convert to any loss in pounds.  On both days the kilos convert to 8st 11lb.

For March yesterday was my lowest daily calorie intake (1072) but I've had three days when I had more than 2000.

I'm looking forward to making a fresh start in Q2 but, before hopping over to a Q2 thread, will return to this one on 1 April to report average calorie intake for March and whether the last 20 days of the quarter showed an improvement.

Reporting another STS please, which is a total loss of -1kg for the quarter!😢 

Not sure if I’m disappointed it’s so low, or pleased that it’s a loss, as I’m on 2 lots of meds which cause weight gain! Still, spring is here and the days are longer and the new quarter brings new opportunities to move more and (hopefully) eat less.

Hello everybody, as with some of you I'll draw a line under the first quarter and try to start afresh now.

I'm just about where I was in January so hopefully I can control my eating better this time.

Fingers and toes crossed.

I will record my final weight for this Quarter tomorrow morning but I suspect it will be STS again. 

@Brambling As I expected, STS this week so final weight still 11 st 11 1/2 (75.3 K). I will have to try harder 🥲

Evening all,

It's been a while. I was on track and then slipped off... AGAIN *sighs*

I restarted a couple of weeks back and would like to register a loss of 9.5 lbs and that is my final figure for the quarter!

Here's to Q2 and to hitting the target 🙂

Hello

Final weigh in and I’m down -2lbs for a total of 17.5lbs. 

Thank you for running the thread Brambling and everyone for your company during this challenge.

Morning all xx 

Monday morning weigh in revealed STS.  That makes it 3.5 lbs off this quarter - pretty much where I was before Christmas. 

The wedding photos have arrived. You may remember that I lost three and a half stones in 2024 ready for my son's wedding on 9th November.... my main aim was to be able to dance in the evening, which I did, but a bonus is that I don't cringe when I look at the photos with me on. Plus all that practice smiling in the mirror paid off 😄. 

I have more to lose - especially from my boobs and belly. So I need to stop resting on my laurels and get on with it.

See you in the next quarter.
