@Emilienewme lovely photos, especially the swans and cygnets 🦢

I'll be joining you 👋😁

I've seen the scales go just under 80 kg twice this week, so I hope I'm finally getting on top of this again. The changes I've made are: making sure I walk at least 7,000 steps a day; eating less overall with no sweets, chocolate or sugary snacks (sorry, I did have a couple of choc-ice lollies); staying well in calorie…

Yes, the Me+ app is free (with paid version of you want). It seems to be good for me. I tried Trello in the past but, like others, didn't stick with it. I don't know if I'll be able to stick with this either but we'll see.

@Maalea Hello, I'm a new member and have received my Owl to join the Slytherin Common Room. I look forward to the challenge and to getting to know you all.

What do you like to be called? My username is BodyTalking, so that's fine, my real name is Mairi, so that's fine too, I'm not so keen on b***ch and the like though. How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? I was browsing the community section and found it. How many 5% Challenges have you done? Zero What do you like to do…

I didn't go out to absorb the Summer Solstice evening sun this year but here's a photo from five years ago (the last time I did this). I woke up early today, after only 3½ hours sleep, and stood in the corner of the window to grab the 10 minute slither of morning sunshine that we get (North facing windows) and let the…

BodyTalking Steps 16-22 Jun Total 58,515 S 7042 M 8269 T 7084 W 12587 T 11277 F 4441 S 7815 I didn't reach my 7k goal on Friday because my leg was really painful and I was totally exhausted. Also, I worked from home and had the doc visit.

Funnily enough, I noticed my recent increase started after the doc stopped my rheumatoid arthritis medication 🤷‍♀️…

A couple of new apps I've downloaded that might interest some of you: Me+ checklist for daily tasks, JustFit for workouts, ShutEye for meditation, relaxation and sleep. The latter two were suggested via Me+. All of them are free to use (just look for the cross in the corner when they try to offer you the paid subscription…

Fantastic @NouveauRee 👏🥳 well done! I wasn't in the best frame of mind and have been in a lot of pain recently but I'm getting tests done and hope to be back on it soon. Let's all have a great summer and be the best that we can be 🫶

Hello everyone, I was a member in the past but I wasn't the best habit keeper, so I left because I was annoyed at myself. Now that the newsfeed has gone, I'm trying to get back to better habits and reconnect with friends from my feed.

Now that the newsfeed has gone, our circle of support has diminished. Are any of you in other My Fitness Pal groups that you find helpful? I'm in Fat2Fit (I shared the link before). It's organised by individual members of MFP and the main group is split into different groups (in discussions) and people are supportive and…

Thanks for the MND tip @daria0919 I'll check it out. @TheMrWobbly I also started a free account on Lose It! (username BodyTalking) but I only want to use one food log as it's too much bother to do it twice. I'm in two MFP groups there 'MFP Dissidents' and 'MFP Exodus Group'. After Fitbit, I joined StrideKick which is good…

Squirrels from yesterday's walk 🐿️

BodyTalking Steps 09-16 Jun Total 57,383 S 8408 M 9740 T 8053 W 8548 T 8313 F 8921 S 5400 Lol, I didn't get to 7k on Saturday after changing my goal 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, it's the weekend and the Euros ⚽🏆 have started - plus I watched 3 games 📺

@NouveauRee how did you get on reaching 💯?

You can change mine to 7000. I know I've had a few days lately where I haven't met 7k but I want that to become my minimum.

So, that's the news feed gone! Does anyone know if they're planning to do anything elsewhere on the app?

Rematch 🥊 How's it going @sydditt ? I'm at 24k steps 😜

@TheMrWobbly the sun is shining in Prague ☀️

I forgot to add the total 57,079

Reading up on the differences in sugar and sugar alcohols and I now understand the production processes and side effects. 'Sugar-free' products contain sugar-alcohols because they're not classed as sugar. So, yes, it's sugar-free but it's misleading in my opinion. I know that if you're diabetic, you'll have advice from…

Thanks, that's good info for those who might use such things. I actually never have sugar-free things as I prefer the real-sugary option and have avoided them since the early 90s after hearing about aspartame possibly being carcinogenic. With xylitol, I'm using it as a once-a-day mouth wash (instead of oil pulling) for its…

I got a birdie walk today 😂 My knee and calf are aching like mad though. The swelling has travelled to my ankle. I got a Chinese medicinal patch and have taken a painkiller in hopes of easing the discomfort until I see the doc. I was working at home all day but went out at 5 o'clock and did some shopping along the way. I…

Here's a couple of links to things I've read this week. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/29/neuropsychologist-the-no-1-misconception-about-negative-self-talk.html https://riikkaiivanainen.medium.com/le-if-you-want-to-make-a-goal-easier-to-reach-choose-one-that-lights-you-up-446a26962813…

@CassieGetsFit2013 I hope you can find some positive way out of your feelings. I'm on Instagram, BodyTalking50, if you connect with me there, I can send you links to helpful grammers and recipes. Try not to be too hard on yourself xx
