Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 2nd Quarter 2025
Comments

Sadly a 1.5 lb gain to report, more than wiping out the small loss achieved until this week.
This was despite a holiday involving a lot of walking (cross country with long steep inclines). It's not that this led to muscle build but that calorie-laden meals were provided 3 times a day.
Unfortunately after a weekend at home I had another holiday this week which was much more leisurely and I'm not expecting much improvement at next week's weigh-in.7 -
@Brambling thank you as always for tracking it is a STS from me, but believe it or not - that is a good thing.
