Greetings Friends! Thank you all for your healing wishes for Ben. I got him home today and we are both just so happy that he's out of the hospital. Some serious life changes are going to take place moving forward, but since he's joining me now, I feel a lot more positive about us both shedding excess weight. Food has been…

Greetings friends! Weigh-in for this week: PW - 190.4 CW - 188.8 (yay!) Although it's been a rough week, hubby has been in hospital all week (still there), so cooking for one has been particularly bad for me. It's amazing how much cooking for more than you is so much more fun, not to mention rewarding! So I've missed some…

Of course, I was talking about a BOOK recommendation, @iguldi11!
-
@iguldi11 thank you so much for the recommendation, I will certainly look for it. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can about it. @micki48 I meant to comment on that wonderful picture that you shared with us of that gorgeous park. @ashleycarole86 I am so happy to "see" you here. Sounds like you and Brad are on…

I am married and live with my husband. We have a son who is married and living in the USA with his wife. I work as a digital…

Happy Saturday, Friends! Well after the punishing heat of the last few days, how typical that today - the first day of the weekend is rather overcast! It's still warm, just not so "shiny", if you get my drift. @micki48 you've given me a great idea of linking targets to events. Ben and I are planning a 3-night city break…

Greetings Friends! Quick update - inspired by MK @mkksemail I'm not quite sure how it happened, but I found myself doing 2 unscheduled workouts this week. 1 - from GrowwithJo, 20-10-05 workout, which stands for 20 minutes of strength exercises, 10 minutes of core exercises and 5 minutes of HIIT. I really loved it. And then…

I took some pictures on my Forest Walk this morning - especially for @Kali225 ! I am blessed to live incredibly close to the Forest of Wye. I can walk to it in about 10 minutes. This morning I went to the section of the forest that used to be an old decommissioned railway path. A 10 minute drive will take me to the Visitor…

Hello Friends! Late weigh-in (sorry!) PW - 192.1 CW - 192.4 The Snack Monster came to visit this week. But I've given him his marching orders and he's gone. Have to run, but I'll be back later with steps and exercise stats. TTFN

Yinka here - 61 years old from Bewdley, Worcestershire, UK. I'm married to Ben and we have a grown up son who lives with his wife in Virginia, USA. My weight loss story probably goes back about 20 years! But I've only taken it seriously for the last 5 years. I have only recently rejoined this wonderful team after having…

You're right - I'm going to change it to 5lb. That would be more realistic. Thanks for pointing that out. I often get carried away with unrealistic goals.

@Kali225 That sounds like a fun shopping day—thank you for sharing your purchases with us! I'm rather ambivalent about shopping (non-food), and I get really wound up when I can't find what I want. Immediately. I normally have to build in regular reward stops. For example, if I successfully buy the first item on my list, I…

My current goal is to lose 10lb. I'm on Day 5 of a 30 Day Fat Loss Challenge. I would love to be able to achieve this mini goal at the end of it.
-
Greetings Friends! Today is Day 5 of my 30-day Scott Baptie Fat-Loss Challenge, and it's going well! Because I cook most things from scratch anyway, the meal plan has been really easy to follow. It helps that all dishes, so far, are delicious! I print the weekly recipe pictures and put them on the fridge so hubby stays…

Today is Day 1 of my new 30-Day Fat Loss Challenge. It's a meal plan / preparation / eating process (I refuse to say "diet") devised by Scott Baptie. I follow him on IG and have previously made some of his recipes and they are very enjoyable. Last night I prepped a couple of meals so that lunch and dinner are ready for us…

I'm just back after a year away. I'm determined to use it properly this time around!
-
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, Friends! So today marks the start of my brand new 30-day Fat loss challenge. I recognise that one of my downfalls is snacking. I might skip breakfast, or lunch, but then I tell myself that it's OK to snack "because I didn't have X". So with that in mind, I had breakfast with hubby (I…

Greetings everyone! Thanks for having me back, Lauren @lauren_989 My name's Yinka and I was a member of this team for some years. I left last summer thinking "it's fine - I can take it from here!" What a dufus I was! It's taken me this long to realise that I can't do this alone and that I need the accountability of this…
-
Hello Friends, It pains me to say it, but I have decided that MFP no longer serves me as it used to so am leaving the app and this lovely team. I wish you all success and my very best wishes. Yinka xx
