Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 1st Quarter 2026

katejo

I will  record my first result (hopefully small reduction) tomorrow morning. I did have my gym induction on Sunday but haven't been back yet due to work. I will go on Thursday. I can't do evening sessions because I am stingy and have only paid for off peak until I see whether I manage to keep it up.

Unfortunately still STS for this week. I was really expecting at least a 1/2 lb reduction.

-1lb for me this week please Brambling.  Hope everyone is doing well

I weighed in on Monday but forgot to post. It's another STS for me, so all reassuringly boring. Good luck, everyone.

Well done guys 👏 Ainsty so far you're still on target 😁

1lb loss for me this week which I'm happy with I had dinner out on Saturday and shared some Bakewell tart with my sister on Sunday, at least the Christmas chocolates are now finished! 

I made a vat of vegetable soup today using up the odds and ends of parsnip, swede, carrot, potato, celery, onion, courgette, French beans and yellow pepper and stirred through some cooked chicken after blitzing. That will do me for about five portions I may freeze a couple as I prefer salads for lunches when I volunteer.

i hope everyone is having a good week

I made soup yesterday with carrot, cabbage, lentils and pancetta yesterday. Flavoured with garlic too. Only 2 portions though so finished it off tonight.

Sorry for a late update.
I weighed in yesterday and have put on 2 and a half pounds.

Electronic scales not working this morning and I couldn't be bothered to play around with the battery.  So used the old mechanical bathroom scales which aren't so easy to read but I'll reckon they show a STS.

Still haven't found a battery to get the scales working (sure there are some in a drawer somewhere!) and the mechanical ones flicker.  So I'll stick with STS.

I find it impossible to make small portions of food especially soup, it's in the genes!
