Old Style Weight Loss Challenge - 4th Quarter 2026

Brambling

Hi All

Welcome to the 4th 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 October until the 31st December, although I'm sure most of us will stop or pause over Christmas. People we have 12 weeks to fit into those Christmas jumpers!

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

Hi @Brambling - I'm in again but can't set a target yet as my scales need a new battery! 🤦‍♀️ hopefully dh will pick one up this week and I'll know what the damage is! 🙄

Hi I haven't been here for a long time. I've got a lot of weight to loose.

So between now and New year I will aim for 20lbs please.

I know that's a lot but I am over 28 stone. I struggle physically and via my MH

Look forward to chatting

We are also using lots of tins, food mixes. Random so my food might be weird for a while. I try to max protein. My new love is Lidl Greek yog or cottage cheese with eggs

I tend to buy frozen berries as I am the only one who eats them in the house
