Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 3rd Quarter 2025

I am keen to lose 10lbs this quarter please Brambling. It's going to be a rough one as we have Grandchildren staying for 3 weeks ( lots of snacks and a few meals out!) and also a 2 week holiday in that time when anything goes! I just have to hope that my lifestyle changes stick with me.
Yesterday we went down to the beach to watch the sunset and bought fish and chips to take with us. I naturally couldn't eat as much of them as I normally would and my stomach felt really bloated and heavy this morning. It's good that my body is beginning to let me know that it feels better when treated more kindly.craft stash 2023 =161, 2024 = 119 2025 = £25.96 spent, 128 made and 5 mended,

Could you put me down for 11 Ibs please Brambling.
I didnt include my weigh ins the last couple of weeks coz frankly it was a disaster....I somehow managed to gain 7.5Ibs in ONE WEEK!!
Im almost impressed with the sheer bulkage!LOLI think perimenopause and hormones are really doing me dirty at the moment.
