How many 5% Challenges have you done? More than I can remember What do you like to do for fun? Walking with my friend. We used to walk a lot but her hip doesn’t let her do the distance so now we take a wheelchair and she uses it when her legs need a rest. What major city do you live in or near? State? I’m in Fife, Scotland…

I’ve walked 4 miles on the fife coastal path, while my friend managed 3 miles walking and only 1 in the wheelchair.

Yes please. A passenger

Water doesn’t do it for me. I need tea and coffee or it’s not a meal for me

@deejoan I try to plan in advance as some ingredients are in the freezer and need defrosted. I also need to just hit go for breakfast when my feet hit the floor, just me I suppose. I hate shopping so don’t want to have to rush to the supermarket for just one onion

My packed lunch for Tuesday.dinner for lunch.

@deejoan you’re my twin. I’m 68 too. I’ve done myself a week plan of eating on the tracker to start Monday (today) to see if I can make any headway that way.

@dr3107 use the tracker add food my recipes create a recipe and add in your ingredients and serving size and shudder at what it tells you one portion calculates out to, then save and log it AND have a piece JUST ONE and savour then behave the rest of the week

What I do for combined stress relief, relaxation food management and exercise. That’s three hours clearing weeds and overzealous pansies from part of my garden. It was stressing me that I’d let it go for reasons beyond my control. I find gardening relaxing and when your hands are dirty…………

@deejoan are you following a specific diet plan? Or just managing portion size and limiting nibbles? My main problem is that I comfort eat sweeties and biscuits when I’m bored, frustrated or stressed. Not the stress you feel when you should be somewhere NOW, but you’re stuck in a queue of traffic and it’s not moving, the…

Please call me Nan. Yes, cooking for one is simple enough, either reduce the ingredients to make just enough for one or cook more and freeze, just remember if you’re freezing Spag Bol freeze the bolognese separately from the spaghetti otherwise you lose the juiciness the second time around because the liquid gets absorbed…

Yes, I do too. I have recipes in my saved recipes too so I can go back to them and see how much of an ingredient I used when I’m doing it again and can see how many slices of cake I need to cut it into to get the portion size that fits my calorie allowance. Cake! You ask, but of course cake, I’m organising an eating plan…

I tried melon and grapes yesterday, and grapes with my toast this morning because the fruit had to be eaten or lost. They each filled a space but aren’t keepers for me. What do you folks have for a packed lunch. Looking for ideas for my long walk days

My post should read semi skimmed milk. Not semolina

I’m 68, retired. Recently lost mum and I’m learning to cook for one. Always lived at home and, while I can cook, mum did most cooking and meal prep. From Fife, Scotland

My normal breakfast is special k with sultanas and semolina skimmed

When I conscientiously ear slowly I feel fuller

For me it’s anytime

I overeat because I’m stressed I’m in company I’m bored

Getting my act together and making a plan. It’s usually a good place for me. Getting on top of the weeds. I like a tidy garden. Making a to do list with a time frame.

My goals are Eat well Exercise daily Sleep 8 hours daily Achieve my 5% goal loss this challenge

For the summer challenge I need to sort out my mindset. Stop making life issues my go to reason for failing. Life won’t go away so I need to get real. I need to Be relaxed enough at bedtime to get 8 hrs sleep Refreshed enough each morning to be in control of my eating Do real exercise each day not just functional housework…

In the introduce yourself page under what would friends say about me I should have said Nan operates mouth without first engaging brain. In conversations too. I’ve hurt a very dear friend by my words this week. Unfortunately once the toothpaste is out of the tube, I can’t put it back

How many 5% Challenges have you done? All of them I think. Took a while to find the right one for me What do you like to do for fun? Gardening, it’s my me time. What major city do you live in or near? State? Edinburgh What are you health/fitness goals for this season? To stick to the plan and lose my fipirst 5% How would…
