@jugar I had my suspicions, but I didn't realise how bad it was for her. I suspect she'd say the same about me! We'll be able to support each other in this and that's got to make things easier... @EvMakesChanges it's good to see you popping in! I hope your doctor finds something not-bad and easy to deal with so you have an…

PW: 89.4 CW: 89.8 Your pictures are amazing @ashleycarole86, I'm glad you both enjoyed it! I did not succumb to late night snacking any day of the week which is a huge win for me. On Saturday we had a salad with allotment tomatoes, cucumber and beetroot - the beetroot is the stripy kind and it was delicious. I'm glad I…

@Tcathey45 I'm sorry to hear your sad news. Love to you and your family

@ashleycarole86 @bowens1973 finally! Enjoy your balloon ride, I hope it's wonderful.

Morning all! Is it Friday yet? @conleywoods that cake looks gorgeous, I'm glad your efforts were appreciated! I am feeling completely drained and it's triggering me to binge. Between house guests most of this week and the office yesterday, I think I'm all people-d out! My favourite moment yesterday was at the allotment…

Your adoption story is both sad and lovely all at once @jugar. @conleywoods I think the fact that a) you hiked for 3.5 hours then b) only let hunger de-rail you for one meal is a massive achievement. Something for me to aim for! Unrelated; do you find the subscription for MFP worth the cost? I've debated it a few times...…

I'm too late to edit my post... Sorry about the puppy, @bobagurl2017, it must be really hard when you already had a bond with him. I am attributing my loss to having not sat on the sofa late last night and snacked. I know those late night TV snacks are not ideal for multiple reasons, and I'm challenging myself to go…

PW: 89.9 CW: 89.4 I'll take it!

I hope everyone has had a good weekend. It's been so hot here, not the best for being productive. We went bouldering on Friday and really enjoyed it (again). OH liked it because he was good at it, and I just enjoyed it. Will definitely sign up for membership and try to go at least once a month. I am feeling it today, but I…

@CupcakeCrusoe going to bed early is something I find really hard! I did get into bed earlier, but it was so warm I struggled to get to sleep anyway - typical lol I had a good day yesterday and I'm doing well today. Everything I've eaten so far is tracked, and I went for a walk at lunch time. I ate before I went, and…

@kali225 I was cooking last night and sweat was running down my face. If I ever win the lottery, I'm building an eco-home that maintains the perfect temperature all year round! I do wonder how much of my suffering in the heat is related to my weight...
-
I'm with you on the prioritisation @ashleycarole86 - was having the conversation with my trainer this morning. Openly admitted that I felt too busy to run this past week, but there was so much procrastination in my days that I could easily have fit it in if I'd chosen to do so. I did get plenty of other things done, just…

PW: 89.7 CW: 89.9 It's a loss from where I was yesterday! I've been thinking of 90kg as an upper ceiling and was worried if I went over that, I'd spiral upwards until whatever the next milestone was. We had a busy weekend. Meal out on Friday and we saw the Elvis movie; not our typical choice but we both enjoyed it,…

@eggfreak I'm sorry for your loss. You mom is pain free now, hugs to you and your family <3

@loraineGB I've not heard of that store, but there are various options out there. I have chocolate mousses which are about 90 calories each and because they're eaten with a spoon, it feels like you've had quite a lot. I've also got 10 calorie jellies that are good if it's a general sweetness craving. Sometimes they hit the…

Shaky muscles are a great feeling @ashleycarole86 - like you are uncomfortable but you earned it so it's all good :D @LoraineGB I know a few people who get headaches when there are particularly bad storms (the pressure, I guess) so hopefully it passes soon. We had a new side dish of lemon rice with tea yesterday which was…

I'm really impressed with how much you've learned from your wellness coach @conleywoods but more importantly how you're putting it into practise! In terms of exercise timing, I enjoy having my exercise done in the morning (and feeling smug for the rest of the day!), but am less thrilled about getting out of bed to do it.…
-
You're right @micki48 that the numbers are purely data. I keep putting off taking my progress photos and measurements because ultimately I've made no progress, but it's still useful to have a new starting point. I'm tired today! Despite finishing The Boys before 11pm, it ended up being 00:00 when the bedroom light was…
-
PW: 89.4 CW: 89.7 I thought about taking yesterday's weight (89.4) or Saturday's (89) but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter and I'd know that I weighed more today. Blaming water retention as I woke up feeling really congested, didn't sleep brilliantly and was very thirsty this morning, but I did sample most…

I feel like I only just posted an introduction... July has flown by. I'm Katie, 34 living near Nottingham in the UK with my husband and our two cats. I've been overweight since my early 20s, and recently learned I have binge eating disorder and low self esteem which I'm in therapy for. My weight loss has been stalled for…

Fingers crossed for a positive test on Sunday @micki48 @planemonkey looking forward to seeing the finished project! Welcome to the team all our new members I worked a full day today, so it felt like a long one, but I finished what I wanted to get done. Meal planning and supermarket shop are done, though I need to go to the…
-
@PlaneMonkey please come and teach me everything you know! My DIY skills are passable, but your projects are next level! @jugar I know those pesky squirrels very well. Having EVERYTHING written down does help although the lists can get overwhelming. Some things are scheduled (and recurring, like watering plants), then I've…

Welcome @christhiann and @LoraineGB, I hope you get a lot of benefit from the group! Looking gorgeous @YinxFed, the new glasses really suit you I went for a run this morning, the first time in 3 months. It went better than I expected, and my calves/lungs didn't stop play. There was a little walking but I managed a solid 10…

You're so very good at putting a positive spin on everything @ashleycarole86 <3 The scales-gods have blessed me and my weight hasn't changed overnight; maybe the 2L of water I drank! I didn't get to the allotment last night - it's next to a football pitch and a game was on which often causes parking/access issues - and I…
-
@ashleycarole86 I think the 1286 calories of chocolate I consumed this morning might be less inspiring! :s I'm glad I worked the calories out and tracked it though, because I wouldn't have guessed the number was so high. Now to do the math before I eat it or better yet, before I buy it! @kali225 that's a great loss! As for…
-
Welcome @MsMcClane this is a great group! I'm struggling too @ells_bellz and I am going to be disappointed when it comes to my holiday and either nothing fits as I've not lost weight, or I feel self conscious. Of course, if it were easy, I wouldn't have met the amazing people in this group. :) I've been to PT this morning…
-
Happy Monday! @jugar PW: 89.1 CW: 89.4 Not surprising given the amount of eating out. I'm mostly fluctuating around 89.2 at the moment, but hopefully soon I'll find the trigger to get me moving consistently lower. We had a very busy weekend, but also we're both very tired and it was pretty humid which saps energy levels.…
-
@conleywoods happy birthday! Looks like you had a fab time, I'm glad you enjoyed it. @Terytha I hope you're both on the mend quickly.

I hope everybody is having a good week! The work trip is going well. Lunch has been good (a small buffet with sandwiches and plenty of fruit), and meals out have been one course, although I did get a dessert back at the hotel this evening as I fancied something and didn't want to go to the supermarket. Our workshops are…

@MoonlitMuse It's great. Originally, before we had the catio built (which is apparently inferior to the tents despite costing about 10x more...), we got a dog agility tunnel and connected the tents to the conservatory door with a fly net/mesh curtain so they could come and go. Worked great, until they figured out how to…
