I've just flagged the post as well. It now has 5 flags so hopefully it will disappear soon. Don't know who he's trying to impress lol. I had a lovely afternoon/evening yesterday at a friend's birthday tea. Lots of lovely company, 5 of us, sadly all widows but we had a good laugh. I don't think I did too badly with…

@more_freggies76 I hope your DH is okay. @pridesabtch What breed is Merlin? I don't think we have that kind of dog training over here, how does it work, does he come home every night or have to stay longer? I'm still a bit half hearted with this, finding it difficult to keep up the healthy eating. I need to give myself a…

@itladyee Not annoying or boring at all! I really like your daily pics that you post, and look forward to them. JFT Thursday 30th No snacking Choose carefully Knees exercises In pain today, it will be a limping about day! WOTY Health

@cschmitz110515 Were you nice to DH ALL day? :) @PackerFanInGB Yes it was the same storm that Terri mentioned. I have some damage in the garden and a few bits off the roof, so quite lucky. One of my neighbours had a window blown in, and like Terri, a local leisure centre lost a very large roof. JFT Wednesday 29th No…

Yesterday turned out well. Kids went home about 3pm, and I did a proper meal. I've recently got my first air fryer, and for the first time I tried to cook carrots and brussel sprouts in it. It was not a success at all, I ate them but they were pretty awful! I really need to read some recipes lol. JFT Tuesday 28th No…

I had every intention of starting afresh this Monday morning after a few days offline, but was requested to do emergency childcare early this morning as the school has not reopened after the storm we had on Friday. So I got distracted with that. I had no electricity for quite a while so normal eating plans were out the…

@PackerFanInGB Take it easy, hope you're feeling okay. @mytime6630 Your hat is lovely :) When I got home yesterday afternoon I just sort of gave up. Didn't even wash my dishes, just relaxed until bedtime. It makes me stiff and achy, I need to move more. JFT Wednesday 22nd Only one snack Walk Do 3 things off my list Knee…

@cschmitz110515 I feel I should start doing some crafts again as well. I haven't done anything for years, and yet when I was younger I was always knitting , crocheting and sewing. None of today's modern technology to occupy us back then! And it was a cheaper way to get new clothes, now it is cheaper to buy something mass…

Seems a few of us don't want to log if we've had a bad day, or it's the weekend. I haven't logged since Friday, and I'm going to take a few days off logging as I know it wouldn't be accurate. I may have eaten too much cake at the weekend, but I did make the effort to get out of the house and walked both days. It was grey…

I was under calories until I ate a small chocolate bar in the evening. My son was about 5 hours late picking up his dog from me. Not a problem in itself, I have the dog most days, but it gets me twitchy when I don't get a message to say he'll be late. And I react by eating something! Good thing, it was the last choc bar in…

I missed logging yesterday as I wasn't online. Late today, but should post. I went to an easy exercise class this morning. JFT Thursday 16th Log everything Stay in the green Only one snack No evening snacking Word for the Year Health

Not happy about the slow rate of weight loss. However I am happy about the positive changes I've made. I no longer comfort eat chocolate, and I haven't eaten in my bedroom once since I've been alone in the house again. Although I've been over calories some days, I've never been near my maintenance limit. And last night I…

@Bex953172 I'm with you on the snow and ice. Feel I shouldn't complain as others here have it even colder, but I still hate it. I keep my bins working by putting something under one corner of the lid, like a bit of stick or even some cardboard from the recycling bin. It stops the lid getting iced shut. Glad my heating is…

I really wanted to eat something last night, had to fight the urge the whole evening. Resisted because I reminded myself that I really *really* want to lose weight. JFT Wednesday 8th Log everything Stay in the green Only one snack No evening snacking Word for the year Health

A bit late posting today but want to keep the habit. Already had xmas cake for lunch with a friend instead of proper food, mustn't make a habit of that! JFT Tuesday 7th Log everything Stay in the green Only one snack No evening snacking Word for the year Health

JFT Monday 6th Jan Log everything Stay in the green Only one snack No evening snacking Over the weekend my back got progressively worse, so now I'm struggling to walk. Will keep trying to move around and hope it rights itself. Frustrating that I can't be more active right now. Word for the Year Health

Oh my goodness, my tax bill was Huge! and also wrong. It still wanted payment from when I sold my business last year, but I'd paid it a year ago. I worked out it was partly their fault and partly the way I had done my tax return. It took me about 3 hours to correct, I don't find their website user friendly at all. So…

@Bex953172 Well done on resisting, Ash certainly doesn't make it easy for you! Today we have black ice so another day indoors. I have a lot still to do reorganizing things since family left so should do some of that. Taking it as an opportunity to have a clear out and changing what lives where. JFT Saturday 4th Jan Log…

@ZizzyBumble I'm in Scotland too, we must be looking at the same sky :) thanks for the tip re using a camera. @Bex953172 I also want to improve my flexibility and balance. I do some easy exercises I saw online by a guy who calls himself Grow Young Fitness. They would be much too easy for you though, they're for seniors.…

@Snowflake1968 Your home is lovely. I'm going to do the same, keep some lights up for the rest of the winter. I also got some flameless candles this christmas so will keep those out. @ZizzyBumble Where in the world are you, when you saw the aurora? I keep seeing posts by people in my small town saying they can see an…

@mytime6630 Thank you so much for starting this new thread. I like your positive view, that even though we haven't reached where we want to be at least we are still here, trying. Not given up yet! @PackerFanInGB You are spot on, having my house to myself again is definitely mixture of lonely and awesome :) I've had a…

For the first time in months I weighed and logged my breakfast today. Also weighed myself! Not so good. After 4 months my family moved back into their own house, and I'm now in complete control of my meals again. And no longer have any excuse for some comfort eating! Realistically I'm not going to diet over the holidays,…

Been reading along but haven't posted as I'm not making any effort at all! @HappyDonkey75 I hope you can get your knee issues resolved soon. @cschmitz110515 I've never seen an upside down rainbow either, how unusual. Hope your doggo's op goes smoothly and he's back to walking soon. @PackerFanInGB I hope you are continuing…

Oh my goodness, I did not know that! I'm on holiday this week so not really thinking about dieting. I haven't been able to visit the places I'd planned on going as my back pain is so bad I'm finding walking difficult. I'm enjoying the change of scene though, and the peace and quiet lol. Doing back exercises and hoping for…
