Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 2nd Quarter 2025

Somehow, I have managed to lose 2.5lbs! I'm actually gobsmacked. Very unexpected given my previous post. Bodies are weird!! Which means I have reached my Q2 target.
I genuinely think not drinking alcohol has helped, so I'm going to try and keep going with it. I feel better overall as well - less anxious and more energetic. I'm not sure my sleep has improved though.
As I'm on hols for 10 days soon, I expect to put some back on before the end of the month. The hotel has a gym and does exercise classes, so I am going to try and improve my running speed using the treadmill, as well as lots of relaxing. Well, the intention is there...
Hope y'all have a good week.5 -
Put 1Ib on this week.
I am actually annoyed about that one TBH because I have been really good all week. Although I dont feel like Im putting on weight (the holes on my dog walking belt are a really good indicator and it still feels loose) so who knows?5 -

May I join in temporarily just to tell people who'll understand that from April 4th up to today I've managed to get my BMI from 33.7 down to 30.8 and I'm thrilled! I've only told one friend that I'm losing weight and she actually commented that I didn't need to lose any more the other day; I do, but it was nice to hear that anyway.
Good luck with all your efforts and thanks for reading this, goldfinches.7 -

Welcome Goldfinches and good luck, well done on such a good start so far this year 👏
pixie well done in breaching your target 🎖️have a fantastic holiday 🙂
izzy you seem to have come back from holiday with new purpose well done in losing more than a half stone 🎖️
catz have you tried taking measurements sometimes the tape measure shows better results than the scales and help to keep you motivated
personally I'm hoping my scales will forgive the large bar of chocolate I ate last night 🤞I don't think it being a 'good' counts asless calories 🤨
have a great week every one we have three weeks to goLife shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin5 -
