Since getting back from Cancun I cannot get back in a groove, ugh. I had an interview and was offered a part time job. It’s 1.6 miles from the house so I will be walking with purpose 3 miles each day I work. I will find out Monday what my hours are. I also had a meet and greet to walk a couple of dogs twice a week which…

@jugar please can I have a pass week this week Also, I have a friend who would like to join the group, is it too late for this month and how would she go about it? Thanks.

Welcome all newbie's, this is a great group! I'm Loraine from London England but living in Springfield Missouri. I've bounced up and down all my life but am more focused about my future health than ever before, probably because I've just turned 59 and I have so many plans for travel in my retirement that I need to be of…

@jugar just a quick drop in and saw the posts about your dad. Glad it’s nothing serious and he’s on the mend. Dehydration is a common theme with dementia patients, here is a link to something which may be useful https://www.jellydrops.com/

Tomorrow I am off to Cancun for a short break. It’s been a horrific week so far so I’m hoping for some R & R and some good food and company. @jugar please excuse me for this week and next week from weighing in. I’m going to enjoy my break without thinking about anything other than what’s in front of me, whatever that may…

@39flavours Have a fabulous time in Portugal @adrimango Have a fabulous time in Australia

Non Zero wins today are: I drank my water and I ate to my meal plan. I didn’t want to work out and spent the day watching tv 🙆🏼‍♀️. So before going to bed I checked in here and saw @jugar ’s post about doing something non zero. I reluctantly did a quick 30 minute beginner Tabata class. Not like @PlaneMonkey with weights,…

@jugar Safe, uneventful travels We tried the acid stomach test. Four hours later I still haven’t burped 🤷🏼‍♀️. I will try again tomorrow but have added raw, unfiltered apple cider to my shopping basket. I want to make a comment in response to @jugar ‘s post about the scale and results (page 5 I think). I can remember the…

Friday PW 203.4 CW 202.9 Happy to be in the green. Three and a half weeks to Cancun.

@EvMakesChanges It's like a little brain worm, well done you for resisting and only having half a portion. I had one (planned) chocolate egg today and I have to say, not all it was cracked up to be - see what I did there, lol

My friend in AZ sent me a gift from Fortnum & Mason in the UK. She thought I would like some foods from home. Yes I would, thank you very much. But my oh my since they were delivered, they are all I can think about. I’ve disposed of the packaging, put the chocolates in the back of the fridge and the biscuits on the storage…

My plan this week is pretty much the same as last week, I have meal planned but kept our dinners as ‘light’ meals as I’ve over done it this weekend and want to get some balance back. I shop to our meal plan so there are no snacks in the house right now. Mr B often brings snacks home at the weekend, I’ve asked him to…

My name is Loraine, I live in Springfield, Missouri but am originally from London, England. Many years of up and down, I am an emotional eater so when things happen in my life that make me unhappy, like everything to do with the move from Las Vegas to Springfield, it shows on my body. It’s been a year since we’ve been…

I have an Apple Watch that I bought purely for health reasons (the fall detection and holding medical info if needed by paramedics). I was obsessive with step counts and closing rings for about six months and then totally switched off it. Now I only use it for data purposes like @jugar says. At the moment I’m tracking VO2…

Welcome! I joined this group sometime last year (is it bad I can’t remember when?) and it has really helped me on my journey. There is so much wisdom and knowledge in this group and everyone is happy to share 🌸

I have completed my gym session this week, who am I? Hoping it show’s favourably on the scale tomorrow morning

@MoonlitMuse Happy Birthday Atlas! 🎁🎈 I would love to do a session with you if you need people, just let me know ☺️

@jugar I had never heard of homeostasis and duly went off to read about it. Your response and what i read makes so much sense, thank you for the insight ☺️ The knowledge in our group astounds me and I’m very grateful that everyone is willing to share

@adrimango I went to the gym this afternoon so I am passing you the baton 😊 D’y’all have those weeks where it doesn’t matter what you eat you’re still hungry? That’s me this week 😞

Understood ☺️. I still might try and match it 😉

Today is a lovely day here in SW Missouri so I decided to get my bike out and clean it up ready for spring / summer. Well my neighbour was doing the same and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride this afternoon. Yes I do! So I just completed an 8.8 mile bike ride. @adrimango I am classing this as workout #2 for the week ☺️

👊🏼 Yay! Me too, and if I hadn’t committed, I wouldn’t have done it so thank you for the push ☺️

I’m in! I have to tell you I felt a slight twinge of guilt that I don’t have an action plan for this week and then I remembered I have done a menu plan and shopped for supplies for the week already. I haven’t any activity planned so I will match your 3 trips to the gym and will post here when completed.

LoraineGB Friday PW 205.2 CW 204.7 Six weeks to Cancun and I would like to be under 200 by then. we’ll see, I am very good at sabotaging myself when I get close to a goal 😞. I am very happy with this weeks weigh in as I had a heavy weekend in Memphis and it lasted longer than I planned.

@bowens1973 Happy 50th 🎈🎁🎂🎊

We have Pickleball at our apartments and I got a free lesson from a professional seeded player when I first moved here (Rain has stopped play over winter and apparently the cold affects ball performance). I have been through every stage of this video and our neice bought us Pickleball rackets for Christmas. As soon as it…
