  • Greetings from Rotterdam, Friends 🧡 Ben and I are here for a few days. We go home tomorrow, and I totally forgot about my weigh-in. Sorry Lauren @lauren_989 . PW - 189.5 CW - 188.7
  • @jessicakrall8 For the last 5 years, I used a pre-printed planner to do my journalling. However, I have been doing my journalling "freestyle" since September. Essentially it's bullet journalling. All you need is a decent notebook (empty, lined or dotted) and a pen. You can look on YouTube for different methods of bullet…

  • Happy November, Friends! This is the first time I've put my re-introduction at the beginning of the thread. My name is Yinka and I'm from Bewdley in Worcestershire, UK. I'm 62, married to Ben who just turned 60 on Halloween (yes, he's my toy boy!) We have an adult son who lives in Virginia, USA, with his wife. They were…
  • Early good morning, Friends! I woke up early because the clock radio alarm went off. Hubby accidentally set it to 5.00am. He gets up super early because a lot of his clients are in Thailand. He was already up! We're off to the opticians later today. The plan is to get our eye prescriptions and then choose our lenses and…
  • Wow ! Team Waistaways won the week! Hurrah for us!! Sadly, I didn't add to the team's success, so you all won in spite of me! As will be seen by my weigh-in: PW - 189.4 / CW - 190.8 I did eat right, and I exercised 4 out of the last 7 days. But I also feel like a slug at the moment! My goal for the coming week? 4 workouts…
  • For you, Ashley! And I know what you mean, @Gidgitgoescrzy because I have days like that too. Days when I really don't care. For me, it's normally because I'm cross about something and it's unresolved. I tend to take myself in hand and normally snap out of things before too much damage is done! I'm sorry that I haven't…
  • Morning Friends! Sorry to be late. Last week was manic and it looks like this week will be hectic too. And my weigh-in numbers: PW 188.5 CW 189.4 Sorry 😞
  • Greetings Friends, Here are my steps for last week. Exercise 08/10/25 - 42mins Caroline's Circuits, Lower Body Weights.
  • Sorry I'm late! Sunday weigh-in PW - 189.8 CW - 188.5 I still have a few things to do before climbing into bed - it's been a long and tiring week, despite having a few wonderful elements in it. I will return tomorrow with my step stats (barely any exercise, I'm afraid) and a fuller update. Meanwhile, welcome back…
  • Greetings Friends, Sunday weigh-in PW - 189.8 CW - 189.8 I was expecting a gain, so this is a win for me. @jguldi11 Chicken liver parfait is just a fancy way of saying Chicken liver pate. And it was delish! @ashleycarole86 Enjoy Simply Red. I remember seeing them at Wembley Arena (also in London) many years ago. I've got…
  • Greetings Friends, So, it's Saturday, 4th October and I'm going to dive right into a new Bingo card for OCTOBER. I'm still discovering different aspects that really help me. For instance, it was only last week that I came across the section where I can add my steps. Bravo MK! @mkksemail I've been chilling today and Ben and…
  • Greetings Friends! I'm back from choir, and I always feel a little bit lifted after singing with my pals. Ashley @ashleycarole86 I hope I'm not too late with my Step and exercise stats? Sunday 21st Sept - 4313 Monday 22nd - 5398 Tuesday 23rd - 3939 / 58 mins Caroline's Circuits Lower Body Bands & Weights Wednesday 24th -…
  • Sunday weigh-in PW - 188.9 CW - 189.8 I did write a longer, more comprehensive post (before the September chat was closed) but it has mysteriously disappeared and I am so cross! I'm taking myself off to bed right now. Hopefully I will be able to remember what I wrote earlier and reinstate it tomorrow. Night everyone!
  • Sunday weigh-in: PW - 189 CW - 188.9 Only two planned workouts, I'm afraid Sunday, 14th September - 4,810 / 51mins Caroline's Circuits - Full Body Weights workout Monday, 15th - 5,461 Tuesday, 16th - 2,677 / 42mins Caroline's Circuits - Upper Body Weights Wednesday 17th - 3,535 Thursday 18th - 6,672 Friday 19th - 6,121…
  • Just popping my head in before bed! @mkksemail glad to hear that you have a diagnosis and it's being treated. That Turkish dish looks amazing! @jguldi11 I did consider adjustable weights, but it's as you say, so expensive. And the cheaper ones just look bulky and oddly-shaped. I have dumbbells of 4kg, 5kg and some old…
  • Back to log my steps and exercise for the last 7 days. MK @mkksemail I was so alarmed when I read about your involuntary throat closures - I hope you get some answers from the doc. Today's been good. I ate at prescribed meal times and did almost everything that I planned to do today. But before going up to bed, here are my…
  • Morning Friends! Sunday weigh-in PW - 189.2 CW - 189 Just a smidge, but I'll take it. I'm manifesting being a whole pound lighter next week. @zankash23 and @micki48 great losses - well done both! @mkksemail like Michele, I'm behind with my Bingo card. But l plan on doing some focused updating during the week.…
  • MK - In response to your question: "Yinka, I was checking out Caroline's Fit at 50 book. It's available in both Kindle and Physical copies. Do you recommend one over the other? ~ mk :)" I chose the physical book version over Kindle because I like to see pictures if they're printed. And as you can imagine, there are lots of…
  • MK - you are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work. I love my Bingo card - it is very comprehensive. I can't wait to start using it. After some sleep!
  • Sunday weigh-in PW - 189.6 CW - 189.2 Just back from a singing performance with my choir. Such fun! I'm in the back, but at 5ft 0" you won't see me. It was tipping down with rain and I just wanted to stay dry! Now that I'm home, I plan to spend the rest of my afternoon: Prepping 2 lunches Making vegetable soup (Ben's…
  • Happy Saturday, Friends! @Gidgitgoescrzy I'm so glad you were able to trace the source of your chameleon-like finger. I would have shamelessly screamed my head off if it had been me (I'm a real baby). I hope it gets better soon. @mkksemail talking about small screens and exercise, I have started a new program from…
  • I hear you, Mary K ( @mkksemail ) I will send you my list tomorrow. Yx
  • @lauren_989 your garden looks beautiful. That hard work certainly paid off! @micki48 Slow and steady wins the race. I have to keep reminding myself that! Well done you! TTFN

  • Greetings Friends! I'll come back before bed with my step and exercise stats. But for now a quick re-introduction. I'm Yinka, 62 years old, from Worcestershire in the UK. I am married to Ben and we have a grown son, who is married and lives in Virginia USA with his lovely wife. We both work from home, running an AI…

  • Just checking in before bed, Friends. So I had a routine mammory check up today. And I must say both the clinic receptionist and the mammogram technician were absolutely delightful. And I told them so. After my appointment we got talking about AI. I had previously shared with them both that hubby and I run a company that…
  • Hey Mary K @mkksemail I've had a good look at the examples and the bingo cards that you've shared with us and I love it! I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. Thanks for organising this!
