You don't have to apologize if you don't reach the 5lb target! The challenges are for fun, or something to aim for, or a particular goal to focus on (Like the Red Cup one for increasing water intake) But you don't ever have to apologize for to us not hitting the goal! You've done really well losing half of it! Its by no…

@Snowflake1968 So sorry to hear about your FIL. You just try do what you can on here, you know there's no pressure from us and well done for the 5lb challenge! But concentrate on you and your family for the time being Sending all my love xxx

I had to scroll back because I missed your previous post. Im so sorry his father isnt well. My thoughts are with you and your husband ❤️

You've probably noticed I've not been posting goals. I've been super stressed. About various things. Saskias birthday didn't go well on Wednesday. She had lots of vouchers and stuff (but they were email vouchers sent to me) and she only had the one card off me and her dad (we also got a voucher) so I ran over to the local…

Well I'm having an awful day. I'm trying to switch my kids to a new school. The one they're currently in has a proposal for closure and I can't even deal with that. Plus their OFSTED report was shocking. I want my kids to have a good education and for my middle child to be supported properly through SEND. Which I don't…

I bought a top maybe 13 years ago. A size 12 and it is still yet to worn 😂

@PackerFanInGB I loved your dance/workout post lol I too also dance like a sack of potatoes when I try a new one out lmao. I'm massively uncoordinated too 😂 But I can say that you will get better at it lol. Once you learn the moves and the patterns it gets easier..but then you start a new one and you're back at square one…

Don't know what my scales were doing this morning but it made out like I had put on 4lbs which is just impossible. So gonna weight again tomorrow when they're not being so stupid. Might bring them downstairs for a more level floor. Think the bathroom floors a bit off, I try to find a space where the scales doesn't rock…

Hahaha as im from the UK I honestly thought it was the same thing. Weekly event where people meet as a group for "Park Run" 😂😂 my parents have done it, it never have though, I'm not a great outside runner lol x

I had a busy busy day yesterday. The kids have nits again, it's tricky because I paid for the treatment but then on the box it says "re-treat in 7 days". But by then I've used the solution and it's not exactly cheap. Around £10/bottle and it does one maybe 2 treatments, so I have to spend £20 just to do the four of us.…

Awh nooo :( don't think any mother is ready for that! I'm certainly not and I've got ages to go! I'm dreading the teen years when I have to let them go out by themselves. Or even when they're old enough to go to nightclubs. I'm gonna be a nervous wreck.

@pridesabtch How old is your youngest now? Tbh when I hit teenagers I think my parents gave up. They nagged alot but tbh my mess was contained to my room. But the mess. My god. You couldn't see the carpet put it that way and is wasn't exactly a small room. Floordrobe is the perfect term. And then just clutter. Everything…

Not gonna lie, from reading your posts, I had wondered 😂 sometimes I think oh that sounds familiar. You do seem to have quite alot of tendencies. With me I NEED routine. But I hate routine. My "routines" don't ever last longer than about a couple of weeks. If that. Might last longer if I feel it's important. I do need to…

That's not a bad idea lol! She really struggles to tidy up. She just sees the mess and is instantly overwhelmed. I know exactly how she feels. So I sit with her when she's tidying and tell her which bits to do. So like "just concentrate on picking up all the toys" then when she's done that I'll say "put the clothes in a…

Wow congratulations you've come a long way! Just the sort of inspiration we need here!! Your meals today sound delicious, and so healthy! Welcome to the group!

^^^^ woops sorry that was a longer post than I intended 🤣

My partner always eats in bed at night. Think that's what makes it harder too. Definitely makes me feel more hungry seeing him with food but that's my problem not his. He would be supportive of me though but I wouldn't ask him to stop eating snacks. It's only ever things like chocolate, or crisps or nuts and seeds but last…

@cgottschlich Thanks for the advice on the sleep eating haha I might give it a go cold turkey or allow myself the one (preprepared) snack. Need to start getting to sleep earlier too! My sleep routine is out of whack and so are the kids and they've got school next Monday, so need to get us all out of it!

Starting the 5lb Challenge for Jan if anyone wants to join? 5LB CHALLENGE DEC 2022 SW: 178 28th Nov: 178 9th Dec: 179 30th Dec: 179 Loss/gain: +1lbs JAN 2023 SW: 177 1st Jan: 177 Don't know how I lost the 2lb from Dec 30th to Jan 1st, but I'll take it haha. Must have just been one of them fluctuations. Also forgot to…

I binge ate last night. Don't even know why. It was just biscuits and seeds though. Oh and chocolate. But it was too many biscuits, too many pumpkin seeds and half a sharebar of chocolate. But I knew before I went to bed I didn't have enough calories. But I went ahead anyway and ate it all. I don't know how to not snack at…

I suppose that's similar to me! I was researching ADHD for Marley, and as I read page after page I thought it all felt oddly familiar so I started researching adult ADHD. It was only by chance that I downloaded tiktok not long after but I started to get ADHD content coming through on there aswell due to the algorithm…

Well if you ever lose track again (because them bad days come out of nowhere) come back and read what you've written again Your update sounded much more positive! Remember how all these positive changes make you feel! You said you're feeling stronger, healthier and fitter and your mental health has improved greatly! So…

Our year has started out a little inconvenient. The bank's froze for "fraud" but it was just a direct debit reattempting. So not an issue but is an issue because banks are closed on the bank holidays so won't be up an running til tomorrow when the fraud team can check and reactivate the account. So borrowed money off my…

Thanks for the new thread @mytime6630, always love a brand new thread! This year.. I actually want to do this. Lose my weight. Not next year, not the year after that, THIS year. Last year or the year before, I lost 30lbs to stress. And despite losing the weight in an unhealthy (but unintentional) way, I still looked really…

5LB CHALLENGE SW: 178 28th Nov: 178 9th Dec: 179 30th Dec: 179 GW: 173 Haha well. That was unexpected. Was expecting it to be worse post-christmas. I mean it's still not good. Not lost any weight at all. But it could have been worse.

Hahaha I couldn't walk around the house without stepping on anything. Feel like I can't walk properly in my house cause I'm dodging stuff and stepping over things. When I saw the dog clambering over a washing basket (although he's a bit of a dummy anyway) I decided enough was enough 😂 Need to start getting my Christmas…

Well it only took 4 days but I'm in an intense chocolate addiction. I ate my selection box, ate the chocolate tubs (obviously shared between the family) and my girls got a stocking each from my MIL and they're so kind they always want to share it with us. Alot of the time we say no, it's theirs after all, but every so…

Deffo worth the money if it's on offer! I try to never pay full price for anything 😂

Hahahah yes it does. I always use symbols so it doesn't blank it out like F!©k it hahah

I did read this the other day and never got round to replying! Yeah I deffo do it for fun, well maybe not fun but just for curiosity! I like to know how things work. You know a heck of a lot more than me and I feel you on the "broscience" haha yeah I hate it if I'm not sure what I'm reading is actual fact. And plus, I'm…
