Hi ladies! I'm back and back to basics! Its been a two year journey starting end March 2020, I started out weighing 230.78 Lbs, I went down to 138.6 Lbs, and now back up to 167.2. What I've learnt along this journey is my good health is the WHY i'm doing this. I started with intermittent fasting and strict calory control.…

Hi Ladies, its been a while since I've posted. This was the month I turned 50, I've been on a health journey since 16 March 2020 and have logged in daily and then lost my rhythm at day 457, and now I'm back to day 3, oops. But a reset has been good for me. I've maintained my weight loss for the past few months, up and down…

I haven't been logging here for a while, and I'm drifting now, so I've decided to be more accountable. Weigh-in: 3 May 2021 66.2kgs /145.64lbs Goals: Loose 10kgs /22 lbs (The last chunk of a long long journey, this has been the slowest and hardest) Weekly goals: Run 20km, walk on alternate days, strength training, drink 8…

@speyerj Great March Jane! I think you should go for it! You've had a month of great discipline, so keep up the momentum! I have not been great with logging as accurately as I have been in the past. Would like to go back to being more disciplined and focused! I have about 12 pounds to go and I'm stretching it out too much…

@MuttiNM I'm so sorry your Dad is struggling so much after Covid! It must be taking its toll on all of you! Your family sound very close and you are such a great support to them! Its amazing that you are able to keep up with your healthy living and even your hikes, well done for sticking to your plan for most of the time!…

Hi guys, my go to meal to take to work is a two egg omelet filled with veggies and two teaspoons of feta, I sometimes add chilli or turmeric to spice it up, even curry powder, I absolute love it and have even eaten it cold at the office, when I have time I warm it up in the microwave. The veggies I often use are, onion,…

@speyerj Great advice Jane, so spot on! I'm having to adjust from being extremely strict to allowing for parties and dinners and even alcohol. I'm trying to not be all or nothing! And I agree with you completely about this journey having no end, this is it for us! So its important to keep to a plan and structure. I'm…

@wanderinglight OMW your post resonated with exactly how I felt about celebrities during lock-down!! I got seriously sick of seeing them on the internet posting out of their mansions!!! UGH!

@wonderinglight I'm sending you a big virtual hug. Big month for you! I think you have highlighted what so many of us are feeling and probably don't even realise it!!! I'm in fight or flight mode, anxiety levels high! And menopause is not helping! Have you researched intermittent fasting to help with menopause, a friend of…

@emmclean I was also happy to see Trump fly off, good things ahead!! Sadly couldn't raise a glass of bubbly, our country has prohibition during lockdown...which was extended to 15th February. Very good for keeping to health goals though!!
