So sorry to read this, I feel for your situation. My dad had a major heart attack very recently and we had the same dilemma - we were not allowed to go to the hospital but my mum was on her own. I risked it, was as careful as can be and went to see her. Couldnt not. Its a choice you never thought you'd face, but just do…

Its 1.30 am I got in from work an hour ago...... just winding down and getting ready for my bed. But I alays want to snack when I get in ! So hard not to. Had a very busy shift, quite emotional, I come home and want to sit, snack, chill and then sleep. No good telling me to eat fruit - I tried that but body says no.…

Such a cute story! And nice target reason too. Good luck to you I had a good evening at work - avoided all temptation apart from 2 biscuits. Trust me - thats good!!

It is a plate of small finger sandwiches, with mini cakes and scones with cream and jam, traditionally served with a pot of tea. Its usually known as Afternoon Tea. Its a very traditional treat. :) True! Only advantage to doing it in my view - hate housework!

couldnt face breakfast today, did not sleep well, just unsettled - but I managed to have healthy lunch and am now getting to go to work this evening. We have sunshine! This is England so we have to mention it :)

My goal today = track my walking through the day. I normally only track it when I go for a walk, but I'd like to see how far I get just walking round the flat etc in life. I tracked it in June - a work day, where I sit for most of the time, and it didnt even reach 1000! So lets see how today goes. Its an overcast day here…

SO............ how's everyone doing?

Morning all. Met up with a friend I havent seen since pre lockdown yesterday, and shared a cream tea with her as my late birthday treat. It was so lovely - both to see her and have the tea. No guilt, just planned meals around it and tried to walk extra where I could to help the balance. Today is tidy and clean the flat day…

The App sounds like a really good idea. I didnt realise how much I relied on seeing peoples mouths until I could no longer see them! We have an issue with this at work - I work in mental health and support people who are in crisis, and its very hard to come over as supportive with empathy when they cant see your face! We…

Got a date with my lovely therapist..... always good, even on the tough days. The its a home made naan bread vegan pizza (I'm not vegan but eat a lot of vegan as my daughter is). Then I aim to walk into town instead of driving in. And that depends on the rain!

Its crazy isnt it the things we do! I was the same when I has to start wearing glasses, bought them then never wore them. How we take these for granted at times! I cant be without my glasses now. Lets hope that both you and I get the determination to get what we need to make things better :)

We have a lovely (lazy as anything) grey - he too can only be walked to lead, and if we let him off in an enclosed field he runs like crazy for about 5 minutes then wants to go home! Haha. I was coping OK and didnt think my hearing was too bad, maybe a little loss but was OK ish....... but when people started wearing masks…

I was supposed to go for a hearing check up today to be fitted with hearing aids.......... couldnt make myself go. What a numpte. The thought of spending money I cant afford to get things I'm sad to need just didnt seem to be my day. Trying not to comfort eat to assuage my guilt........ And a happy hello to everyone other…

I started at 314, about 2lbs down so far.........many many more to go. Happy to join you on the long journey

[quote=" Sara628588, welcome! And welcome to any other newbies I’ve failed to note recently. I’m glad you’ve found us. [/quote] Thank you :)

So my battle today - which I know is daft but........ I have lost 2.6 lbs this week and I am a little bit pleased, but as it means I am still heavier than when I started here last time it doesnt feel like an achievement. What a pressure the mind is huh.

Simple answers - yes I only ever drink water, always have, and drink a lot of it. Sleep - not so much as I work until midnight four days a week, then have an hours wind down so rarely get into bed till 1.30am. Plays havoc with my sleep some days I'm in UK - we have dull rain, rain and cold rain. Promised sunshine over the…

Yes, I like that - one day at a time. I am very good at self sabotage, so I shall focus on the positive as much as I can and allow myself to have off days if thats what happens.

Turns out if you do 8 minutes of a 30 minute exercise video you feel like a truck has run over you the next day........ word to the wise :) So just catching up on some of the chat to see who is doing what. And I am possibly looking to move...... nothing like adding stress to life when you want to lose weight...

Is there, like, some reward for the most times you've started again? Cos I'm in with a chance if so..... here we go again......... heavier than last time again. Sigh. But I am trying. I have changed what I eat a lot already to make myself healthier, about 90% veggie now and often eat a vegan diet. But no movement, I am a…

Well hello and a smile for everyone here today. I am way over 50 and at my heaviest. But I am trying again...... Looking forward to getting to know you all

HEYYYYYY I'm back!! SO that last time obviously failed, but I'm back. Heavier - again, but trying - again.

Every time I come back here its because I lost the weight....... then gained it all back and more. I am now at my heaviest ever. So yes, over 100 lbs to lose, and on day 2 - struggling to feel motivated as I also go up and down with depression. Currently 315lb and my aim is small steps - so getting under 300 is goal no. 1…

No - just to keep going! And not to judge myself. Thats usually where I give up.

I have been on holiday........ so was nervous about stepping on the scales, I have tried to keep eating healthily but have also enjoyed some mighty good meals out with friends. I have walked miles with the dog so that helped. September loss so far = 3lbs
