Hi everyone. I'm back. We've been away from home for about 10 weeks, 8 of them in France. I have been totally off the weight loss road and have been drinking far more cheap red wine that is good for me. We did do some long walks but the weather wasn't that good (and I'm a bit of a fair weather walker) so the end result was…

Hi, Happy Birthday smwert and Debbie :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: We were away in the motorhome (RV) at the weekend. We went to a kit car show and had a great time but I wasn't so good on the eating and drinking front. -too much wine and nibbles! I had been finding it really difficult to get back into the swing of it…

Hi, Just popped in to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHICLET :flowerforyou: and hope the move goes smoothly. Bye for now :heart: :heart: :heart:

BUMP - be back later

Hi everyone, Finally got back to counting my calories and managed to stay under yesterday. It was difficult as I'd been eating so much and so many carbs for the last few weeks :blushing: I also started running again on Sunday so hopefully will start to lose the weight I've put on while I've been away. We had a fabulous…

Hello everyone, We are back in England after our long stay in the French Alps. I have not been good at all in the 3 months I have been away! We will get back home tomorrow (staying overnight with daughter today) and get sorted out and back to it by start of next week.

Hello everyone, Just popped in to wish those of you who celebrate it, Merry Christmas and hope the rest of you have a nice Saturday. We do celebrate but today will be a quiet day with just the two of us as our family day of celebration has been postponed until 29th December as my younger daughter and son both have to work…

Hi everyone, Just got home from France. It's good to be back to our broadband internet access - it means I will be able to catch up on the posts :smile: . I'll be back when I have. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Hello from the French Alps. Had a good November and managed to hit my targets. We've had a fair bit of snow. The resort opens next week so we will getting the skis out :happy: Daughter no 2 is supposed to be flying out on Monday to spend a few days with us. Hope she makes it as Newcastle airport (departure) and Geneva…

Hi from the French Alps. It's been snowing most of the day and now we're in the clouds. Hope everyone is well. I've been sticking to the plan so hope to lose a couple more pounds before we head of home on 11 December. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Hi everyone, It's a bit grey and overcast here in France. We had about 6 inches of snow overnight and the mountains look beautiful. I have been doing well this past week and have lost a pound which takes me back to where I was before I went off the rails :smile: we have been busy with DIY and that has helped me to refrain…

Hi everyone, Just a quick hello from La Belle France. We arrived last Thursday and there was snow on the ground. It has mostly gone now and today is a beautiful autumn day. I don't have time to catch up aith all the posts (in McDonalds using free wifi) but I am thinking about you all - congrats to those of you who met your…

Hi everyone, I thought I'd let you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I have been really struggling since we had some bad news about DH's cousin's son (the grandson of DH's uncle in Lyme Regis who passed away recently). Heis just turned 18 and was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago. He had…

Hi everyone, just a quick post to let you know i'm back and planning to get back on the wagon. I haven't had time to catch up on all the posts I've missed. I managed to finish my half marathon without any injury and was thrilled to have raised some money through sponsorship for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my…

Hi everyone, I am still lurking in the background. I lost 1/2lb this week. It's very slow but at least it's down. I just spent a great weekend with two ladies I went to college with, one of whom I hadn't seen for 25 years. I ate a bit more than usual but we did walk loads. The weather was great, lots of sun and warm. It's…

Hi everyone, It has been a lovely day today, sunny and warm, not bad at all for September. I’ve had a bit of a lazy day today. DH is painting the wood work on the stairs, hallway and landing so I’m keeping out of the way. :laugh::laugh: I did 13.1 miles yesterday – my last really long outing before the Great North Run on…

Hi everyone, just got back from weekend in Peebles (Scottish borders) with DH for our 1st wedding anniversary yesterday. Ate more than I usually would but I have decided to relax my regime for a couple of weeks as I am taking part in a half marathon two weeks from today and I've found that restricting my calories and…

Hi everyone, Been really busy so have just been reading posts. Welcome to all the Newbies, well done to everyone who has lost and those who met their targets. I've not done too well on either front but today is a new month and I'll try and get back on the wagon. Hope to be back soon :heart: :heart: :heart:

Just back from our trip and marking for later :smile: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd pop in before I go and pack for my flight back to England this afternoon. I've had agreat time in Canada but haven't been too good on the eating and drinking in the second half of the week. Never mind, I'll be back on track when I get home. I'll probably have a couple of nights at my sister's…

Hi everyone, We are here in wet, wild and windy Calgary. Since we arrived on Saturday we've had hail the size of golf balls, thunder and lightening and lots and lots of rain :sad: We hoping it will be better tomorrow as we have tickets for the rodeo at The Stampede. Thurs and Friday we are taking a trip to Banff and Lake…

Good Morning Everyone, I can’t believe how many posts there have been. I’ve only missed a day! I don’t have time to reply to everyone individually as I am leaving soon to drive the 350 miles (or so) to my sister’s house in Hampshire but I just wanted to pop in first. Welcome to all the Newbies. This is a great site and…

Well done. You are an inspiration. Good luck with your weight loss journey.

Hello everyone, It’s not such a nice day today, a bit overcast, but we did have a lovely sunny weekend although it was very windy yesterday. We did our run a minute /walk a minute yesterday for two hours and I must admit I have a few aches today. DH then took me out for dinner which was very nice and the fact that I’d…

Hi everyone, It’s not a bad day here, the sun is shining. I got on the scales this morning and they were not looking good! I was up a pound for the first time in months. I knew I would be and I’m just glad it was only a pound. For the past week I have eaten a load of rubbish – crisps, pizza, biscuits etc – and also drank…

I've now lost an average two year old and an ostrich egg.
