I need to make a plan and get out the bed in the morning and actually do, not just think about it. Life has been getting in the way. For starters I’m off a little later to deliver some church magazines on foot. I need to have a reason to do

Very well done to Red Hot Chilli steppers, Thinner Winners and Shape Shifters on the weight loss success. Maybe as a PS4L member I should not have exercised the hand to mouth mechanism when I was helping the team get the exercise miles.

@kaliswalker these countdown activities were always so useful when you did them on spark. They help make it so we don’t hit the ground running on day one of the challenge. Thanks

Create your "big picture" aka “goals” you want to achieve in the 8 weeks of the 5% Challenges. Break these down into the smaller and smaller targets that you must hit to reach your goals. When you have your plan, start working on it to achieve these goals. A SMART goal is smart because it is: • Specific. • Measurable. •…

@Dianedoessmiles1 glad you’re home. You re cooperate better in your own surroundings. Just remember to act your age and not your shoe size now the nurses aren’t watching you

Any idea when the team invitations will be going out? I’m thinking of switching about switching internet and for a few days to get my head back in gear but don’t want to miss them

Good morning Tuesday. The sun has got his hat on and I’m ready for the day.

What is your name or nickname?Nan Your Team? PS4L (hopefully) Your Approximate Location: big city near you, province or state, country. Edinburgh, Fife, Scotland What is your favorite summer activity? Taking a picnic to a nice quiet beauty spot and soaking up the calm and the view What do you like to do for fun, interests,…

Morning folks. Glad we’re all here. Having a busy Monday but it’s a lot more ordered than I’ve been. Learned so much from the folk on the Spring challenge and ready to take more advice through the summer

@Dianedoessmiles1 words are fun. Afternoon teas are a bit costly price wise when we could have a proper meal so they’re a treat. It’s not just by country that words are used differently. By COUNTY in Scotland

@Dianedoessmiles1 afternoon tea can be had in hotel restaurants any day, but the cost in pounds weight and pounds sterling is prohibitive.

The afternoon tea we’re having on my blog tea

Sounds good. Do the folk in the top flyers actually lose most weight?

Praying for you. Sad how growing old affects us. I sympathise fully with you. I’m lucky that my mum is still able and sensible at 91. I can still get away. Please come back often and vent as much as you need to. I can imagine the emotions will be all over the place for a long while

@ceriusly I feel for you and your treatment. Bet like my pal who is having chemo you look well. It’s so much easier to sympathise and assist someone with visible bruises and bandages look ill.

Sitting in the car outside the hospital for 4+ hours while Anne has treatment was going to be fine. I can link in to their internet and I could do some food preplanning. BUT sun came out and it looked so nice. I could go for a wee walk to the supermarket, we only needed milk. I could carry that. Round trip 3 miles. It…

Hi folks I see a few folks saying they’re not joining the spring challenge , some for reasons undisclosed and some because they can’t participate in the exercises they always did. As one who has been there and done that can I just say it didn’t work for me. Teams help push you to do more than you feel like not because they…

@HealthyBarb1 hope retirement plan works out. It’s good you’re taking things face on and sorting them out when you’re still able so they’re a challenge not a chore. Wish you luck with the decluttering

Nuisance when things don’t go to plan, but at least you had a plan so you know what you need to change for the future.

when are the team invitations coming out? I know you are all busy getting ready for the start

@Sunnybeachgirl5226 please don’t give up on the spring challenge for the knee. There are lots of chair exercises available on YouTube, some I’ve used by Sherry Zak Morris. My friend has hip replacement issues and can’t stand for a whole exercise class so goes to a chair class. She mustn’t cross her false hip leg over and…

I’m not going to ask questions on the mfp site. Like the person who asked I have more diet books than the bookshop. If I ask friends on here, we’re all paddling in reality not isolation. Children need cookies, elderly have sweet teeth, partners sneak in tempting treats for the h-ll of it. we’re cooking for more than one…

@patti241 I walk every morning too weather permitting but this morning the haar meant we couldn't even see across the street. by the time it lifted I was immersed it loads of little household chores.

its great when the garden is nice to look out at.

@kaliswalker i suppose cross-stitch is my favourite metime activity except that as long as I’m in the house there’s the “Just when you get a minute, would you……..”. And my mind throws up things I could /should be/meant to do. Out walking On my own the time is mine. When it’s nice I can sit on a park bench and watch the…

Hello weekend Saturday Exercise completed early Functional walk including church material delivery, milk and rolls shop, visit the green gym, savour the freshness of the new day the birdsong, the woodpecker up there somewhere and the tide on the beach. Not forgetting 2+ hours metime. Refused a non planned biscuit though…

@kaliswalker thanks for the start date. Gives me 2 weeks to practice and organise Must go, busy day ahead.

Appointments are always a nuisance. I’ve one with mum today Thursday at 130 pm. Question is will it be on time? How long will it take. Middle of the day means you can’t do anything much before or after it. But if the outcome is an improvement that will be a great help

@kaliswalker a green gym around here is a set of strength gym equipment but set in the park powered by the user and free and available to all
