Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 2nd Quarter 2025

2 Off please.
Had to cut down on the exercise last week, it was getting to the point were I wasn't able to get up without sticks and the stairs looked like a mountain.
On good news I got Mr Pepper to check his private medical cover, (which I should have been on the years ago, but being from Yorkshire and a bit thrifty thought I'd be ok), and for the price of a gym membership once a month I'm on it, anything not working previously will be covered, could have kissed to help line person when they told me.
So, they did wonders for Steve Austin 😂, my bits should be a dream, it's a bit like the operation board game maybe I'll stop buzzing with pain.
Have a good week everyone.MFW - 01.10.21 £63761 01.10.22 £50962 01.10.23 £39979 01.10.24 £27815. 01.01.25. £17538

Weekly weigh-in morning for me.
It's a STS.
Not bad considering the two-course lunches and dinners last week when away, especially as the second course was always a dessert, heavy on the sugar.4 -
Sorry everyone, I did remember to weigh myself last week - I just forgot to post it. It was a STS so nothing much missed 😁4

-1/2 again please Brambling .
I’m blaming the new heart tablets for the slowness ,but at least it’s still a loss .
I’m away next week for a 5 day IOW break with my U3A ,will try not to undo it all !5 -
Morning all
Forgot to post, Friday WI was -0.5 - hurrah! I think that takes me to the dizzy heights of 0 so far this quarter 😬
Been researching my cancer meds and it could be the reason I'm finding it a bit difficult to lose as much as I think I should be/want.
Nevermind, half a pound per week is almost 2 stones in a year. And I'm eating healthily.

I'm leaving my final pre-hols weigh in until Sunday. Mainly because I have been away with work and enjoyed hotel breakfasts, meal deal lunches and eating out at night. I'm scared to face the consequences, really hoping a couple of days eating better will resolve that.
I've sort of been calories in vs calories out, but I did massively overeat yesterday, I was so hungry! Enjoyed every bite of it though 😂 Travelling, rain and cold weather doesn't help, does it?
