I forgot to report in yesterday.
Today I have to say it's STS since last week.

Hello
Happy Birthday Brambling 🥳
I’ve been at the ice-cream plus +3lbs please Brambling.That all went on overnight after a day out - one meal at a restaurant, 1 scoop of chocolate and much wine. There’s been more wine and I’ve sts after initial gain. It’s impossible it’s actually all fat so it’ll be gone once I return to weightloss mode which won’t be this week as I’m having a little impromptu staycation and will be back at it from next Wednesday.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025
1st quarter - 17.5lbs 🥇

Back to it now, ice cream has been replaced with Tango sugar free ice pops, about 3 cal each.
Food diary started and tide times and weather looking good for the weekend.
Will aim for Monday / Tuesday weigh-in.
Hope you had a lovely birthday Brambling.

Happy Birthday, @Brambling, hope you had a lovely day.3

See you all on Monday.
I will be 50 at the end of June. I lost 2 stones last year and I know I have put it back on. Nothing fits and I had to ask for bigger work trousers.
My older son has got engaged so I'd also like to look better for his wedding. I also haven't seen his father (or anyone from that side of the family) for 20 years so want to look ok - it's vain but I'm being honest!
I need to set the Wii up again so I can weigh myself.
I should manage a nice chunk by the end of June. Maybe a stone.
My job has changed (same site) so I am also looking daily for something better. I'd rather not have to interview while nothing fits! My job is the only real negative in my life at the moment.
It'll be the Blood Sugar Diet again. I just need to get used to the idea.7 -
Welcome back Frith and good luck. I think you are human wanting to look good when you next meet the ex 🙂Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin7

Friday weigh in time! 2.5lbs loss to record please, very happy with that. It's been a very busy week in Pixie Towers making the most of the sunshine. A 10 mile walk, gardening, house maintenence, couch25k runs and fitting in work too! No online workouts though. I just haven't had the time or the energy.
Food this week - protein shakes and fruit for breakfast, Greek salad for lunch, using up homemade batch cooking from the freezer. So lower carb with plenty of veg. No booze. I feel much better not drinking. I think I've got too old now, I can't manage the days after any more.
Our sun holiday is a month on Monday, so mustn't lose momentum. I've got holiday clothes to have to fit in!
Hope y'all have a good week :-)7 -
- 1/2 lb this week. I’m trying to eat SP meals this week, I’m not doing SP all day, just meals.
