A huge, warm welcome to our new members and I hope all our continuing members are doing okay. I'm one of the team motivators but I've been absent for a couple of weeks due to an eye injury. If it helps anyone to add me as a friend then please feel free to do so. I look forward to hearing all your motivations and goals for…

Sunday PW: 139.9 lb CW: 137.6 lb

Seems like a lot of folks having a really tough week this week and my thoughts are with you all. I also having a bad week. I scratched my eyeball on brambles earlier in the week and then my poor, scared rescue dog bit my neighbour on Friday. The dog was air snapping to try and get away from him and caught his arm. I feel…

So I spectacularly managed to scratch a horizontal line across my eyeball whilst fighting with some bramble, and spent last night in A&E. Fortunately it is not too deep so I've been sent home with antibiotic ointment and they think it should heal in a few days. Anyone got any ideas for exercising and keeping me and the dog…

Hello everyone! I'm from Team Trimstones and very pleased to have reached my maintenance weight of 63 kg (139 lb) yesterday. 🥳 This time a year ago I was around 90 kg (200 lb) but too embarrassed to step on a scale to find out for sure. I joined F2F on 1st January and it has been great. So lovely to share stories and ideas…

That got me too at first! I much prefer the metric system. I still have to look each week on the spreadsheets to check what my PW was in lb. For the first few weeks I posted my kg in brackets next to lb to make it easier for myself if I needed to check back.

🥳🎉🤸‍♀️🎊🤸‍♀️🎉🥳 It's party time! Goal weight day has finally arrived (63 kg)! Emmajhare Sunday PW: 142.0 lb CW: 138.9 lb LTD: 57.3 lb Its taken just over a year, with around 9 months of serious MFP logging. @jessicakrall8 please move me into the support group with a target weight zone of 133-143 lb. Is this all the info you…

I've been slow with my step reporting, sorry Jessica. 02/08 - 23,310 03/08 - 12,707 04/08 - 10,269 05/08 - 12,708 06/08 - 12,733 07/08 - 12,622 👣 Just Tuesday I failed to meet my new, increased target then. Not too shabby 😁

Just weighed myself a day early and I have high hopes for tomorrow! It could be target day! 🤞

Looks like low carb tortillas are definitely next on the menu then @angmarie @Jax_Grim @UCGRocks! @jessicakrall8 I must confess I'm a huge fan of seeded and granary breads, which are never low calorie, so I can't help you there! I just try to eat bread as a less frequent treat these days instead. @shredweek1 - I love…

I'm cooking @ShredWeek1's potatoes for dinner, now I need some ideas for the rest of the week. Come on Trimstones, get posting!

@ShredWeek1 I'd love to try those potatoes. I'm vegetarian and a big fan of nutritional yeast. I don't have an air fryer though sadly. Do you reckon I could do them in the oven instead?

Motivator's Challenge - August I'll start us off with my ginger soup recipe, which was inspired by a delicious soup I was served in Sri Lanka a few years ago. It's a clear, watery but very flavoursome soup. It is super quick and easy to make and it has filled a hole many a time when I needed something savoury and low…

August Motivator's challenge - Food, food, glorious food! Okay, I admit it. I'm looking for a bit of inspiration here! :D For August I'd love you to share some healthy food ideas. Perhaps a great snack you've discovered, or a favourite substitute ingredient to cut down kcals/fat/carbs in your meals, or maybe even a full…

@veryhotmails - love the idea of a mini goal weight to help you on the right path. It so important to set yourself achievable goals and this is a great way to break it down into manageable chunks. @QueenZeeIsm great that you got your husband on board with zero alcohol. It makes such a difference if someone else can support…

I've been making 10k a day steps for 75 days in a row. Time to step up the challenge methinks. @jessicakrall8 can you stick me down for 12k a day in August please.

Emmajhare Sunday PW 141.5 lb CW 142.0 lb LTD 54.2 lb So I guess this is me demonstrating that the path to weight loss never runs completely smoothly! 😁 I got with 1lb of my goal weight and now have increased two weeks on the trot. Ah well. I was drinking salty margaritas last night so no doubt water retention is playing a…

Hi Maria, the previous weight is from your previous week's weigh-in. Or if you've just started with us it should be the weight you registered as a starting weight.

Welcome to all our newbies. Great to have you here! I'm one of the team motivators so shout of you need any pushing in the right direction and there is anything I can do to assist. Feel free to add me as a friend too if its helpful to you.

Congratulations @dillyg08 - good things come to those who persevere!

@angmarie28 your stamina never ceases to amaze me! Good My work out plans for the week (aside from exercising the dog) are @angmarie28 your stamina never ceases to amaze me! In answer to your question - not enough! Just walking the dog. I resolve to do better this week. I've got my first spin class in four months this…

Finally, I can get my step data from Garmin! Woo hoo! 17/07 - 11,028 18/07 - 22,170 19/07 - 12,321 20/07 - 10,932 21/07 - 12,226 22/07 - 10,339 23/07 - 12,506 24/07 - 15,310 25/07 - 15,219 26/07 - 17,591 27/07 - 12,132

I love the time of year, when all of the fruits and vegetables are coming through in my allotment and garden. I've had raspberries and blackberries for breakfast. Last night we had roasted pattypan squash, courgette (zucchini), shallots & cherry tomatoes for dinner with garlic, oregano and thyme. All ingredients homegrown…

Hi Jessica - I'm one of the big holes but the Garmin site has been down for four days due to a ransomware attack, so I can't get my data. I can't even access the help function to find out whether I can view previous days steps on my watch. Sorry! I'll post an update as soon as I can.

My husband is going back to work tomorrow, after being furloughed since April. It will be strange to have the house to myself. I'll still be working from home until at least September. Despite the fact the Garmin site is still down 🤬 my plan for the week is to make time for more exercise. My gym is open today finally…

Emmajhare Sunday PW 140 lb CW 141.5 lb Got within 0.5 lb of goal and went up again 🙈 Ah well, to be honest I've not been exercising as much as normal, except for walking the mutt, because I've been too busy trying to train him out of his anxiety issues. Hopefully next week is my goal week!

I'm lagging behind on step reporting again, sorry! Unfortunately the Garmin server is down so I cant access my step records. I promise to update as soon as the issue is fixed!
