Going to talk Chloe out before it’s too hot, going to be 37 this afternoon 🥵🥵🥵. Fast day was going great then I just got to hot so ice cream took over and the FD went down the drain.

Good morning everyone hospital appointment in the morning then going to walk-in to see doctor about my arm, it’s gone a funny colour and can get an appointment at GP until next month.

Afternoon All…
Riverside walk with Charlie , Natalie and Oreo joined us..

While Katie was with me I put on 2lbs and another 2lbs seems to have tagged on too… that’s over 8 weeks..
I really am struggling to loose the 4 lbs… not eating properly and snacking too..

I am out for a meal tonight with the girls so I will have to pull my socks up.

The Mental Health team have been in touch with Rich, he answered a lot of questions on the phone this morning… they are ringing back pm for another chat.. hoping they can sort or help with my sister…

Dave.,
What a nightmare for you yesterday.. hope it soon improves.

Hi all!
Dave- hope no more bruises appear & they can work out what it is, good you can go to a walk in clinic as your GP’s sounds crazy, ridiculous wait!
Jean- I’m sure you’ll soon get back in the swing & lose those few pounds…enjoy your meal tonight!
Nana- nice to have the meals out, enjoy!
Had a surprise visit from son’s gf last night, it’s lovely that she makes the effort & seems as keen as he is 😍 Had planned a FD tomorrow but we have the weekend to ourselves (apart from seeing Mum tomorrow) so will make the most of it. Couldn’t walk Enoch today- his owner didn’t answer the phone, must’ve been feeling rough, feel for him though, missed a few days as it was too hot earlier in the week…
Hope our newbies are okay?!

Evening!
Been hot here, when the sun’s out, which happens every time I take poor Enoch out! Cleaned lots of windows, washed the net curtains, ironed & back up now, plus saw Mum this afternoon…not a FD, had a nice meal together in peace & quiet, eldest is away…more raspberry ripple ice cream was made, this is the 3rd lot, love it!
Have a good weekend all!

Afternoon everyone,
Hope everyone is keeping okay. Had a lovely weekend which involved taking our daughter and son in law to our local pub for a meal. Having a much needed fast day. The weather is still pretty warm and no rain as yet so everyones lawn is a lovely shade of brown around here.
Another holiday is coming up so really need to knuckle down and lose some weight before then.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Another dull day here. It’s our wedding anniversary today so going out for lunch (dinner).So definitely not a fast day.

Evening!
Happy anniversary Dave, hope that lunch was good…
Jean- well done sorting your insurance, I think October will come round quickly! How long is Jacqui away for?
Nana- have you been out today?
A nonFD for me but it’s been not too uncontrolled at least today! Been busy, had a dentist appt, youngest came home for lunch & a haircut, did the others’ too. Have done some cleaning & washed my car- it was covered in cobwebs!
Hoping for a FD tomorrow, out early to take my car in for a service…

Afternoon everyone, weather is much nicer now that the high temperatures have gone. Walked to the next village and took the long way round so it ended up being five and a half miles long. Have had our usual Wednesday lunch and I had a lovely chicken salad and my two usual glasses of Pinot Grigo. Off to Ely tomorrow and will get to visit Aunt who’s now back home after a stay in hospital.
A good fast day on Monday and another one planned for tomorrow. I’ll just have a cup of coffee whilst the other half has his usual full english breakfast tomorrow in Ely.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Evening!
Walked Xena with my sister & their dog, then walked Enoch. Been out for lunch at a riverside pub, had a starter & then a dessert. Came home to a pile of ironing!
Not sure when my next FD will be…

Morning All..
Just started drizzling but already walked…

Charlie going to stay with his holiday family for a reminder..10am till about 7pm/ 8pm ish.. if I can leave him that long..
Going to lunch with my friend I haven’t seen her since Steve passed in Hull, a few jobs to do, food shopping, plants for Steve, they give up in the hot weather.
I may pass by Chris but I haven’t told her in case I don’t get there..

I did a long post the other day and forgot to post it, I think I had a phone call🤦‍♀️

I lost 2lbs this week I have another 2lbs to loose to get back to goal… it may be struggle this week as Tony may come up to stay for a few days….still I am on the case!!!!!

Hi @babakelly
Welcome to the group! Some tips to help you along the way –
1) there is no such thing as failure on this diet – if your FD goes pearshaped, you can do one the next day instead. Be kind to yourself.
2)Plan your fast Day (FD) meal(s) ahead so they are ready to eat/cook.
3) Keep yourself busy on a FD – personally, being retired now, I choose a job that keeps being put off, like blitzing the bathroom or tidying the shed – that keeps me concentrating rather than fretting about food.
Lastly, you shouldn’t actually feel hungry, not real hunger, so don’t be afraid of not eating much for one day, just make sure you drink loads of water.
I’ve only been doing this Way of Life (WOF) for 7 weeks now but have easily lost 8lb and eat well but sensibly on Non-Fast Days (NFD).
Keep reading the posts, add your own comments – this is a wonderful place to share your experiences.
Good luck!

Morning All..
Definitely a change in weather raining off and on for 5 days..
A bit of a wet walk this morning…no bath for Charlie the shampoos been out for 5 days it’s away now so the weather might improve!!

No boules today because of weather off out to lunch with the girls…

Hi babakelly.. I have been doing this way of life ( I don’t call it a diet) for 7 years now, lost 2 1/2 stone and kept it off for three years. I watch it closely I am up 2 lbs at the moment so I have to get it off, it’s holidays and living which get in the way.
I would buy the book as it tells you what to do and what health benefits it gives you.. best weight loss way of doing things… I have been on every diet going through last 50 years .

We are a friendly bunch just shout and ask or just be friendly and chat.. it helps coming on here every day… keeps you positive.. we chat about anything as a lot of every day problems can make you eat..

A nice quiet day today, damp weather, so happy to be lazy after the walk this morning, picky bits for dinner so not even cooking to do!
Dave, have a good holiday!

Evening everyone and welcome to babakelly.
Haven’t posted for a while must remember to do so.
Visit to Ely on Thursday went well and got to see my dear Auntie now she’s out of hospital and considering what she’s been through she looked remarkably well.
Weather has been 26°C today so quite warm but we did have some very welcome rain yesterday sadly not enough to do any good.
Have managed to have a FD today and next one will be Thursday.
Hope you have a good holiday Dave.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Afternoon everyone just got in from our usual Wednesday lunch. Very warm here 27°C so the cycle ride back was nice and cool made even better by a young muntjac deer running across one of the recent fields that’s just been harvested so lucky to live where we do. Lunch was a very nice Halloumi and roasted pepper toastie with a side salad plus three glasses of pinot grigo instead if the usual two.
Ely visit tomorrow which is also a fast day.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Evening!
Jean- well done with your 2 FDs! I hadcan ouch with my hygienist last week too…Hope your sister’s okay if you see her tomorrow.
Nana- nice to see a deer, lucky here too. Your lunch sounds lovely!
Finally got to walk Enoch today, a bit hot though…we went to a pub by the river & had a lovely lunch. Court case I’m a witness for is next week, got the other statements, will be interesting but am very nervous, hope I can work the tech side of it 😂 Helped mum out with her fuse box as her power was off, it’s strange & does seem to play up, but it was her washing machine this time…doesn’t take alot to upset her but at least her power’s sorted!
Not sure when my next FD is!

Evening!
Jean- well done with your 3FDs, shame about the scales, hopefully a whoosh next week!
Dave- hope your holiday has been good!
Nana- good luck with the scales!
Gardenlily- how are your FDs going?
Had an early start to get Xena walked & then had a hair dressers appt, Mum’s washing machine got fixed, hubby went round to make sure she was okay but she still got herself all worked up & then didn’t want to do anything this afternoon, so we took Xena to the beach. Had a takeaway tonight so no FD!

Good Afternoon everyone, back from holidays, a bit sunburnt after our last day which was very sunny. Torquay and Paignton are nice places but very quiet. Don’t think I’ll be going back to either. Hopefully the airport’s will be sorted out for next year and we can go back to Lanzarote.Much more going on there and weather guaranteed.

Afternoon All…
Out walking then I have been to see my sister.
She has stopped talking to dead people but still very confused, you can get a bit of a visit and chat out of her. My ‘baby’ which I have, I have told her I can’t have one at my age and does she mean Charlotte my grand daughter which I know she doesn’t mean.. but she was wanting to buy baby clothes for me, her son Rich told her I was too old to have one.

Quick shop when I got back, making food for Jacqui’s visit tomorrow … she will be upset as grandson is going to Perth waiting for his work contract to come..1 year initially..

Dave.,
Enjoy the footy.. I have had my shorts on for ages now.

Dave…

Afternoon everyone
The warm weather has returned again and our poor lawn is brown.
Have a busy week of social activities this week so had a fd on Saturday and am having another one today as it’s not possible to do one on Thursday.
My Aunt continues to recover albeit slowly from her recent illness.
Enjoyed a good weekend despite fasting one day.
Am making chocolate cupcakes tomorrow morning to take over to our daughter and son in laws tomorrow morning as it’s his birthday and rumour has it our three step great grandsons are going to visit.
Dave hope your fd is going well.
Jean good to hear your sister is slightly better. Imagine your daughter is a bit upset about your grandsons work opportunity to Australia but we have to let them live their own lives don’t we.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

685 calories, just a cuppa later to have.

Afternoon All…
A very hot day here we got out for an early walk ..
I was debating whether to play boules but decided too, good game and we won, different technique seems to be working.

Just a coffee at cafe as fasting 🤞🏻 I can manage to keep strong I do struggle on hot days.

Quiet on here today, maybe tomorrow.
