Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 2nd Quarter 2025

I suspect I've put on a couple of pounds as I've fallen off after getting back on track. My bathroom scales weighed me at 16 stone 6, which doesn't seem right, and will see what I can do about sourcing a new set of scales.
Edit to add that I'm 17 stone 9 and a half after using someone else's scales.Decluttering campaign 2023

Thanks for the weig ins guys looking like STS are doing well this quarter myself included 😔 my hip replacement is booked for the 17th July and that hasn't given me any incentive to have lost more weight. I've decided to not stock up on 'naughty' food whilst recovering and make my sister promise not to bring any in so no driving for six weeks may mean I lose something next quarter, I just need to be careful when doing a food shop!Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin7

Hi
That’s one way to stick to plan Brambling!
Weighday -1lb please.
Will keep on plodding on slowly. I’m enjoying my meals, lots of summery flavours and I’m having plenty of fruit with them. And wine a few times a week.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025
1st quarter - 17.5lbs 🥇

Quater off, so STS for me.
However....
The scales are playing funny buggers, got on this morning, and small loss, thought I'll get on again while I'm in my birthday suit, 2 on, had shower and another 2 on so 4lb gain in less than 2 hours. Scales are accurate, (weigh the same at DR's and hospital) and they have a new battery, could have launched them into space.
Brambling, does your new hip weigh more than your old one, if you do have a gain while recoveringit could account for it!
Well done anyone who has lost or got weighed (not easy when you are feeling deflated). I'm trying to look at what I eat again a change sometimes helps.

Thanks for the WIs guys 👏👏 Izzy I think you may get you target?
i avoided the scales this week, my pre op weigh was in kg and I didn't convert, I got the usual lecture all very polite maybe because he's private!
