Old Style Weight Loss Challenge- 3rd Quarter 2026

Brambling

Unexpected 4lb loss for me 🙂 thanks to being ill and losing my appetite, I'm still coughing, sneezing and wheezing not sure if a cold or reaction to paint? At least when I have blood tests next week and probably get a lecture I should be able to say I've lost a stone since the last one and I was on holiday for two of those weeks.

Pixie I usually hit a slump when we head into the Autumn/ winter months I always blame the cold makes my body want to eat so it can hibernate. There is something about dark evenings when I went out at 7.15pm it was horrid that it was dark.

The bathroom scales tell me I've gained 3 lb. This takes me back to the 1 July figure.

This follows a week in Eastern Europe being presented with the local cuisine.

Hope you are feeling better now? I arrived back from my holiday with the start of a cold and still have it. Not much sneezing but aching muscles and a scratchy sore throat which still hasn't cleared. I wasn't hungry last night so just had muesli with fruit and weighed less this morning. I hope it will hold out until tomorrow/Tuesday to record a final weight for September.

stayed the same I knew I would as I had a good loss last week let’s see how I do in the next quarter talk about slow and sure

Last weigh in - lost 1lb this week despite not exercising much! I'm 2lbs over my starting weight, but it's stayed consistent rather than shooting up so that's ok. Off on holidays next week so I expect I'll put a bit more on. Hoping a bit of rest and sunshine will recharge me :-)

Thanks for running the group @Brambling

Please record a loss of 1.5lb for me. I haven't achieved my target for this quarter but at least I am slightly below my starting weight. 11st 11 lb is the lowest for weeks but probably partly due to my cold and a reduced appetite in the past week. Hopefully also helped by my walking holiday.

Thanks Brambling

Hi,

I really would like to join to see if I can be motivated by everyone’s efforts to start my weight loss journey. I’ve noted that this quarter finishes tomorrow so perhaps someone could let me know if I need to wait until Oct 1st?

Ideally I need to lose 1 stone. Very unsure if that’s doable by Christmas.

Thanks
