Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 2nd Quarter 2026

Brambling

Hi All

Welcome to the 2nd quarter Old Style Weight Loss thread for 2026.

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

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

Suffolksue

I must get the act together and start again

I weighed this morning and am about 3 lbs down from the worst of the last few weeks but at least 6 lbs up from my lowest lately.

At the end of this month ,I have an appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon to talk about getting my other hip replaced ,it has been v painful since September and it took 5 months before the physios agreed to X-ray it ,things have moved fairly quickly since .

I have been very down as well as in pain .

I will aim for 7 lbs this quarter but hopefully 12

I am away next week ,but will try and I aim to rejoin SW on my return

Thanks Brambling

Gingerlily

Hello

Please put me down for 14lbs Brambling.

I’m going to continue with my current food plan and try to be consistent with my exercise plan. I’ll be having a timeout for the Easter weekend and will start properly on Tuesday.
