This morning's Forest Walk was just gorgeous! Today's been really good - athough my food was rather haphazard. I had a humungous sandwich after my walk - I was starving! But then I wasn't really hungry enough for dinner so I didn't have any. However, after choir practice I got home and was peckish, so I ate 3 slices of…

Greetings Friends, A quick evening check-in. It's been a good day: a weights-based workout this morning, then some housework and a business meeting after lunch. Dinner was a new recipe - chicken with honey and apricots with rice. Tasty and healthy. Time for bed, methinks!

Happy Monday everyone! It's a slow start for me today as I woke up at stupid-o-clock and couldn't get back to sleep. Maybe I'll have a nap later (even though I hate sleeping in the day!) I hope everyone has a good start to the week. TTFN

Hello everyone, My name is Yinka and I'm from Worcestershire in the UK. I'm 62 years old and have been on a weight-loss journey for a very long time. I have about 40lb to lose, and the menopause has rather muddied the waters and made it seem even more difficult. No matter, this community is such a positive influence that I…

Happy Monday, Friends! Still in bed and chose to come on here rather than doom scrolling, or looking at The Book of Faces, as my husband calls it! @strong_fit_ells I would be the same if my son was around, but he's stateside with his wife (and they don't drink). Either way, I had 2 cocktails this weekend. Actually, we went…

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…

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.
