Hi everyone, after a long spell of up and down weight I've decided to get motivated and try being more consistent re healthy eating and exercise. This challenge looks like a good incentive. Good luck to everyone! January Start Weight: 88kg January Goal Weight: 86kg Ultimate Goal Weight:70kg January 1: 88kg January 8:…

Hi everyone, It's hot and humid here - feels like a storm is on the way. I went out for a fast walk and got really sweaty. I'm supposed to be playing tennis later with the kids if they rain hold off..... @Snowflake1968 I had my kids late on so I'm 51 and they are 10 and 12. I have to agree with what you said about mental…

@aubyshortcake. I hope you find a systems that works for you long-term. I've been doing intermittent fasting 16:8 but, if you can deal with the 5:2 approach you don't need to count calories. Good luck with what you decide to do! @juneblack1984 Hi! I'm new here too. Seems like a very welcoming and encouraging group. Goals…

Hello ladies, I had a 'bad' weekend with no logging (and definitely went over both days) and not much exercise. Weight was up on Monday - WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO COME OFF BUT GOES BACK ON SO FAST??? Anyway, back to healthier eating now and exercise. Goals for today 📍Log everything and stay green 📍Exercise 40m minimum…

@cschmitz110515 Ah ! Thanks.

Hi everyone, Just a quick post as I was totally useless yesterday and have lots to catch up with today (hopefully). I didn't feel good physically and was quite down. Still a bit down today but will try to get my walk in earlier as that usually helps. Yesterday 📍16:8 👍 📍Log all & stay green❌ 📍Exercise at least 30m 👍 📍Don't…

@SophieRosieMom thank you. Alsace Lorraine is an interesting place. I've only been a couple of times but it's very much a place of mixed cultures. Well played worth teleporting!

@cityjaneLondon I just remember the name and that my family liked her recipes. If you say its simple, I'll have a look at Elizabeth David on line...

@spikeyhair Happy birthday!

Hi everyone, Another cold sunny day here in France so I'll be out walking again later. I find that the activity and a good dose of sunlight help to lift my mood and cope better with the stress and worry. I tried out a new recipe for dinner and was really pleased everyone liked it. Lemon chicken with noodles and green veg.…

Good morning/afternoon/evening folks, depending on where you are. Thanks for welcoming me. I've been enjoying your posts. The glasses thing made me laugh. I also have several pairs and my varifocals no longer work for reading. Soonest appointment I could get is in November! I'm a professional musician and have an extra…

Hello everyone, wherever you are and whatever time of day it is with you. Here in France it's a lovely sunny morning so I'm having my coffee in the garden, well wrapped up as it's quite chilly in spite of the sun. THANK YOU for being so welcoming in this group. Thanks to JFT, I'm happy to say that I managed to resist my…

Thank you all for your welcome! I look forward to getting to know you better through your posts. @BeUncommon excellent photos! I've been 'good " today exercise and food wise - well within my MFP calories. I'm pleased about that but home schooling has been really tough today. I have to admit that I find it hard to motivate…

@cityjaneLondon Thank you. I'll try and take a leaf out of your book. You've done really well!

Hi folks, I'd like to join this group if it's not too late. I'm a 51 year old mum of two and I work irregular hours with a fair bit of travelling, though obviously not at the moment. I need to lose 20kg. I've upped my exercise and am doing 16:8 intermittent fasting most days. I look forward to catching up with your posts…
