@Kate You mean you're starting from nothing and need to organise the whole wedding? That sounds very exciting (I'm a control freak too ;))

I've just finished 5 days without dairy (naturopath's orders) which means I've eaten more meat. I've lost more weight in this 5 days than any other single week since going LC - well, probably ever! Just had an omelette for lunch (hubby cooked) and half way through realised that cheese is a major ingredient. Fortunately I'd…

That explains why I've only ever had 2 notifications, both a CICO telling me how wrong I am to have directed a LC enquirer over here LOL

Ha ha yes, brilliant! Nooooooooooooo. The Brits root for their team - or to them it can also mean 'looking for something' so the term 'rooting around in drawers' is perfectly acceptable. In Australia, plants have roots, and the only other acceptable meaning for it is having sex so no, we hopefully don't 'root for our…

Ha ha Twibbly. First time I ever heard that phrase it's a wonder my eyes didn't fall out of my head. I'm not explaining for the unenlightened ;) Whoops - sorry IaUC <3

@Karlotta I hope that all of us in this group can have big heads; that we all feel good enough about ourselves in here that it carries through to the rest of our lives. Your crafts are wonderful. Aahh, heroin, thank you. I never can remember anything about drugs, OTC, prescription or otherwise. @Kate We’re definitely here…

What a fantastic article @Gale thank you so much for sharing. That's a bookmark for sure!
-
I'm so pleased for you Gale - on both counts - balance and belly. It's so exciting to see our bodies (and those of our friends) improving. And I know how you feel with getting more stability. It's such an emotional relief to be able to trust our balance more, though I guess we'll always use more caution than 'most people'.…

I'm so pleased to hear the 'success story' title for you Carly, and I hope it *all* turns into that quickly for you <3

@Sajyana I would love to do that too. Haven't been to the UK since I grew up there, but left at age 15 (1972) and I do miss the English countryside, flowers, birds and animals very much! Thatched cottages, tiny villages, country churches, narrow country lanes lined by hazelnut trees and blackberry bushes all make me sigh…

I'll try to remember Gale. I have vestibular disorder so I can talk to you about that. My balance, and stability has increased markedly with this WOE. When I stand on the bathroom scales I always used to move - being nose to nose with the wall I always noticed it my whole adult life. Now I stand there and I'm rock solid.…

I was born a Brit, but have lived in Oz since 1972*. Aussies also speak correct English though and you betcha I'll be telling you about boots and bonnets, and cars using petrol, and turning a tap to get water, dressing a baby in nappies, with a dummy in its mouth, and sticking the letter U every place I can possibly put…

And on our own personal home pages? I know typing @someone makes it blue, but *should* it notify us? I wish it would.

My husband (was 60 last November) says that he thinks his answer is yes. He had a hearing test 2 weeks ago. The last one was 2 years prior, and his hearing has hardly changed, which would have seemed rather odd otherwise, it had been going downhill steadily before. He's not diabetic; in fact has full health, so medication…

Oh squeeeeeeeeee. Today I found indents up and down, along the sides of my core/abs. I'm a *very* long way from any abs showing, but just to see that promise of what's in store has made me so happy! And I put on a pair of thin fabric white trousers (note to Americans - pants go *inside* your trousers, they are not an outer…

I thought the blood reading had to be 0.5 or above to be in ketosis?
-
I know at one point in the past I must have reduced sugar because I remember eating something sweet one evening and as I ate I could feel my anxiety levels growing. There were no circumstances or thoughts inducing the anxiety, it was just arriving for absolutely no reason at all; presumably other than the effects of the…

And $85 million for Endomondo as well - mere pocket change.
-
I don't know if this has any bearing whatsoever but I know that I feel calmer than I ever have on this WOE. I've often said that I'm allergic to adrenalin. My anxiety reactions are way beyond 'normal' and I suffered the most debilitating anxiety attacks, usually for no apparent reason, for 27 years. I've been clear of the…

@Kuranda I did get the script working on my PC with Google Chrome. I added the instructions (with more words added than Dragon?/Bacon?s original instructions in the Over 50s thread, but good luck finding it; that thread is 17 pages long now. You'd be fine with the original instructions anyway if you can find them.
-
@Karlotta - oh woowwwww! What a huge difference. Congratulations! You mean I might find that my head doesn't sit directly on my shoulders in due course???
-
Ha ha, that was an Americanism I didn't see coming. Yes, a torch with batteries - though we call the flame ones torches too. I should have known because the torch app on my phone is named flashlight and of course we hear the term all the time on TV 'You guys' really do put a twist on the original British version of English…
-
@Karlotta What beautiful work! I used to do cross-stitch about 30 years ago but haven't done any for that long. Your lighthouse is gorgeous. Beautiful stitching. It must have taken quite a while to do. I loove your door hangers/wreaths, they're totally fascinating and I've never seen anything like that before. They're so…
-
@Mary that's beautiful of you to make your gifts, and hand-made things mean so much more. As you all look forward to Spring it is getting colder here. I have a tracksuit on tonight for the first time, but still have bare feet on the tiled floors. Ugg boots will be the last thing to add as it gets colder still. I hope you…
-
I'm glad you like it everyone, thank you so much for saying so <3 @Nil Looove your beading work, wow! You have skills and an artistic eye for sure. Having a creative/arty outlet is so soothing isn't it? Congrats on being a Michaels tutor. Even I've heard of Michaels. Not that we have one in Oz. I'm pretty sure the lumpy…
-
Thank you both @Kate and @Fi @Kate - you could always post a pic of your garden - that's your hobby after all. The chainsaw sounds far too much fun ;) @Fi You're always welcome here, and I look forward to seeing your pics when you can. Hope you have an awesome day at work. We never have breakfast because we get up around 9…

Our 2 local Indian restaurants have been serving less and less chunks of meat in more and more sauce - though still only a little over half full in those typical rectangular take-away containers as it used to cost for one full of meat! I guess this means I'm better off to make my own at home because the sauce will be…

Onions!!! And a lot of other veg too really, but onions mostly.
-
Oh wow, good thinking on taking the Aria with you! I'll consider it - or maybe just getting the Aria ;)
-
Oh gosh Kuranda - so frustrating. It's fortunate that you can get a proper scan done though - I'd have loooved that through this WOE.
