Old Style Weight Loss Challenge- 3rd Quarter 2026

Pennypincin

I've lost 1 pound.

I think mainly because of the weather and also suspect that I will have to be more careful when the weather cools.

I sprinkle a bit of turmeric and black pepper in my homemade kefir at breakfast in the hope that it might help with stiff joints. Peta Bee in The Times yesterday suggested that turmeric just might help reduce appetite. I doubt if it was valid, peer-reviewed research. The article was more of an advert for a product at £85 for 95mls for the gullible, my 75p jar from Aldi lasts for weeks.

I cut out UPFs and suddenly I was not hungry and wanting to binge on sweet stuff all of the time. I went back to normal dairy produce instead of low fat and my appetite is satisfied. I enjoy a small portion of rice or pasta instead of a bowlful, and add extra vegetables. I have lost over 3 stone steadily by using recipes and portion sizes from the 40s and 50s when almost nobody was fat. My grocery budget is £35 a week for 2 and we eat well on it, with plenty of fruit and fresh or frozen vegetables.

My goal is to lose, and keep off 4 lbs by September.

Unfortunately +1lb this week. Not sure why because i am eating less in general. I have just returned to the Fast 800 books which I bought last year. Doing Chicken Tikka salad tonight.

Evening all.

A 1 pound loss this week for me.

I've been trying to eat healthier and get more fruit/veg plus water in.
