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!

Greetings Friends! Here's today's weigh-in: PW - 188.2 CW - 188.9 (sorry Team!) @mkksemail I need to go back over the posts again, so that I get it properly (maybe go on my laptop), but please put me down for joining your Bingo team. I like your idea of doing a group sprint for the end of the year. Back later with my steps…

@ashleycarole86 Can I please change my step pledge to 5000? I need to find real signs of winning!

Greetings Friends! @jguldi11 Thank you for drawing such a charming picture of two baby girls on your cabin holiday! @micki48 I love your butterfly tales. I'm not in the least bit surprised that you take it upon yourself to "release" them whenever you can! I tried Noom a couple of years ago. I thought it was a bit "meh!"…

Evening Friends, 1st of all, I want to say a big thank you for all of your lovely supportive comments about my mum. She's such an amazing, clever and funny woman that we often forget that she's getting older. Anyway, when I called her last night she was in great spirits. I've found a good alarm system for her and we have…

Just checking in, friends! The sun's been really beating down in the UK these past few days and I'm in my upstairs studio at home, which is incredibly hot too! But it's such a peaceful place to work, and I get so much more done when I'm in a space that's set up for working. So last night I called my mum and found out that…

Greetings Friends, Just popping in to say that you're all doing great! TTFN

Greetings Friends, Not doing too bad - this is my 4th executive day checking in. Choir was fun last night. But when I woke up this morning I was completely knackered. I think it might have been going up "Cardiac Hill" - the final section of my forest walk yesterday. So I moved some of my workouts around. Dinner tonight is…

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…

Sunday weigh-in PW - 190.4 CW - 190.4 That's 3 straight weeks with no movement. I'm grateful for that there's been no gain, but come on!

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…

Hello Friends, Here's my re-introduction for everyone. I'm Yinka, turning 62 on Tuesday and remarkably chipper about it. I live in Bewdley (a pretty little Georgian town in Worcestershire, UK). 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…
