Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 3rd Quarter 2025

Brambling

Hi All

Welcome to the Old Style Weight Loss thread for quarter three 2025

Please feel free to start posting your weight loss goals for the next challenge which will run from the 1st July until the 30th September.

You do not have to submit a loss or gain for the first week as it's our starting week, you can post your first loss or gain the week after on a day of your choice.

As usual everyone is welcome - we support and encourage, we don't judge and importantly that includes being kind to ourselves   All hints and tips welcomed especially during the current time when we may be reaching for food or aren't able to buy our usual healthier choices.  

I'm sure ideas about cheap healthy meals and free exercise ideas will be welcomed at the moment 

Please send me your targets if you are setting one in either lbs or kgs whatever suits you but only in increments of 1/2 or 1  -  There is no requirement to provide a target or weekly weight ins and no one has to justify if they chose not to weigh in for any period of time

Anyone can join the challenge at any point over the next 3 months 

All aboard and Good Luck

Brambling

Welcome back ladies

Gingerlily

Hello

Please put me down for 14lbs Brambling.

I must stay more focused this quarter, I find it harder in summer to stick to the plan. 

ditty1234

Hi @Brambling can I please join. 
Target is 10 lb - starting at 12.3 st.

Stay cool in the heat everybody.

Pixie_Cosmo

Hello, my aim this quarter is to lose 8lbs please @Brambling , which will get me into the higher end of the healthly BMI range (I'm currently just in overweight). I'd also fit into lots of nice clothes I don't wear! 

Usual plan:
*calorie counting - lower carb with plenty of veg.
*exercise, mainly to build muscle and get fitter (I'm nearing 'a certain age urgh!). Will include a daily step target, running and youtube weights/cardio workouts.

Good luck everyone! Keep plodding on :-) 

katejo

Hi @Brambling  Please add me too with a target of 5lb. Currently 11 st 12 1/2. Thank you

Brambling
