@funshipfreddie Yes, I know. Getting them in the carrier is seldom easy. We had one who just walked into a front-opening carrier when we put a bit of meat inside. The other ones we all had to lift up by surprise to put them in a top-opening carrier. I hope it will be going smoothly today, good luck!

Day 29 Melbourne, Australia NFD
I’ve been off the wagon all week, and not feeling like I’m even trying to catch up. But I am still on the forum and will try to keep posting to at least keep reminding my mind that there is an alternative way to live i.e., not eating everything in the cupboard.
It’s my bedtime so goodnight all.
Day 29 – Rural Nebraska, USA – TDEE
Yesterday ended up being EFS. I have no idea what my problem was, but nothing could swerve me from a determination to eat. GAH!!!!!
So today is a new day, and that’ll have to be good enough, but it sure feels bad to know what yesterday looked like–“eating everything in the cupboard,” indeed, @malee57.
I actually don’t have all that many chores on my to-do list today, so if nothing comes up to surprise me, I’ll get outside to do some cleanup…it will be wonderful to get to do yard work on a decently warm day!
Have a grand one, everyone!
Day 29 UK FD800
FINALLY managed to pull a FD – my first Saturday FD ever. I’ve not weighed myself for a few days but will get back into the habit tomorrow.
After a full tired week I enjoyed a lazy morning of chores & reading the paper followed by an afternoon of reading papers & emails for a big meeting next week – still 42 pages to go but enough for today. I’ve enjoyed making a huge batch of sweet potato, chickpea, mushroom & spinach curry – yum, filling and less than 400 calories/portion – eaten as OMAD with a little red carmargue rice. Tomorrow I’ll make a batch of soup and plant some more veg.
@lilymartin sorry you have been so crook and hope you feel better v soon
@at thanks for starting May challenge – I’m definitely in!

Day 29 Wales NFD
Over TDEE today! Oh well it’s done and it’s only one day so damage should be undone with a good FD. Disappointing scale readings throw me off course so I am going to weigh in only once a month from May 1st.
Hope you are all having a lovely relaxing weekend.
@lilymartin are you feeling better? So sorry you have endured so much tummy upset this month. Thank you for hosting us despite not feeling very well 🤕💐🌺🌼
Day 30 NFD NZ
Where did the month go???
Had a lovely windy Saturday morning at the beach y’day meeting doggie friends with their humans. Everyone promenades from one end to the other, some determinedly carrying summer over and wearing not much and others completely rugged up. There were dogs chasing sticks in the sea, chasing balls on the sand and others chasing each other. The full tide was receding so the sand was wet thus not picked up by the wind. Perfect!
Shared a small roasted beetroot and blue cheese topped quiche with my friend, had a flat white and we were given an enormous doughnut filled with raspberry jam, custard and cream to share😁. Dinner was a purple Maori potato, bell pepper and zucchini and a lamb chop. I do need to work out a small grilling system to render the fat 😬 but Macintosh enjoyed the offcuts.
Here’s to a refocusing for May

Day 30, Germany, NFD
I had a good month, maintenance went well. I’m down 0.6 kg so stayed about the same without too much effort.
@lilymartin Thanks for guiding us through the month 💐🌺🌼!
Have a nice day everyone!
Day 30 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD – 🚫🍷7 months! 🥳️
Down a total of 0.8 kg for Amazing April, so I sort of maintained 🎯 Boo Boo & I are now in our new place, half of which looks like it was hit by a tornado, but we’re here. It was so nice just to sit on my own sofa last night, eat from my own crockery & sleep in my own bed. It’s the little things, right? 😅
@snowflake56 – I used a technique a cattery owner showed me a while back. Stand the carrier on its end, with the top open. Pick up the cat with one hand and hold the back legs together with the other hand, then gently lower him/her bum-first into the carrier. By the time they realise what’s happening, it’s too late. Works like a charm 😂. But I still hate putting her in there. Boo Boo was so bewildered when we got here. She spent ages wandering from one room to the next, sniffing everything & gazing out of the windows before she calmed down. They say you should keep a cat indoors for a couple of weeks after you move. But she hates being stuck inside all day. Maybe I’ll take her out on a lead in a couple of days.
@michelinme – well done for a successful Saturday FD! 🥇
@lilymartin – thanks for hosting AAA April. I hope you’re feeling better now 💐
Well done to everyone who lost weight, maintained or just hung onto the wagon. As Albert Einstein once said, “you haven’t failed until you stop trying”.

Day 30 UK NFD
Same weight as I started this month which I’m fine with Thank you so much for hosting @lilymartin see you all in May👋
Day 30 – USA/GA – FD
Weigh-in: 221 lbs. Yuck, I blew April by gaining most of what I lost in March back. And I was on such a good track in March. I know I need to be kind to myself because this was really a month of adjustment. I won’t overshare, but I have been guilt-tripped into buying fast food for the family much more than I would like, and to eat such foods more frequently and extremely late at night (because if I’m not fasting, isn’t it an insult to not come and eat when invited?)… that sort of thing. Then, once I’m in the habit, the carbs make me hungry and I start raiding the refrigerator for more unhealthy things even on days when this doesn’t happen (harder to find at my house, but easier at my mom’s, where we usually eat these days). Ultimately, though, it does come back to my decision, so I may have to hurt some feelings this month. I don’t want to eat or live that way, so I guess I’ll make my own healthy supper and take it down with me if we are eating together. I’m hoping I can cook some things the kids will like that isn’t just a bunch of rubbish that we can share.
Anyway, I’ll try to make May like my March and get back on track.

@funshipfreddie No change doing it that way with our last three cats, 2 of them were 6 kg, our last one had 7 kg, without being overweight. We always go for large male cats. After moving (we moved 10 times in 37 years) we always kept them in the house for 6 weeks. They didn’t complain too much, they just sat patiently on the windowsill. Not all of them were eager to get out, only one of them wanted to be outside, the other three went outside for a few minutes and then came in again. I hope you both will settle in soon and be happy in your new place.
Thank you @lilymartin for looking after us for two months in a row… see you all in May 👋
@lilymartin – thank you for hosting us in an Amazing and Awesome Actionable ( AAA) April 🙏 and these are for you 💐
See you in Marvellous May x
