Good afternoon
Hedgehogs, thank you for the offer of having my GD. She is 7 going on 17. She is lovely but full of energy. After a couple of hours you would be returning her š
Nana, my baby GD is on the mend but still not fully fit – smiling though. She is going to Lytham today with family for a few days. Not too far away if they need to come home.
Jean, our bathroom sealant needs replacing. You inspire me with the jobs you tackle. I may give it a go.
Dave, enjoy your picnic. I hope the weather is kind for you. Congratulations on your 9lbs loss.
FD for me today and weigh in tomorrow morning. Eye Clinic at the hospital today. Small puncture in my retina last year, just a check up. I will be there hours – it’s very slow going.
Only had coffee for breakfast today. Trying without toast – see how I go.
All the best to the Thursday fasters.
Regards Bronwyn
Afternoon everyone it’s a much warmer day here than of late. Was rewarded with a one and a half pounds loss on the scales this morning so think I’ll be continuing with tre eating and 1200 calories for the time being.
No Friday night meet up with friends and takeaway this evening as OH has come down with a nasty cough and cold that’s doing the rounds here at the moment.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone and hope you have a good weekend.

Evening!
Dave- sounds like it was a nice morning even if not too many fish…really well done with 9lbs off, that’s great!
Nana- well done with your pound & a half off too, that’s really good, you have to work hard for it…Hope hubby gets better soon & you don’t catch it!
Jean- nice to have seen your daughter, shame about Katie’s grandad… Hope your loo seat is easier to fit than our one was! Nice to have Natalie back for a walking companion too…
Bronwyn- so pleased your youngest GD is on the mend! Your 7yr old sounds like hard work! Hope your weigh in is good too, & hope your eye appt goes okay, sounded nasty!
Had a busy day, walked Xena & Obi, but Enoch’s mum not answering again. Made the cake ready for gret-nephew, coloured all the icing, made butter cream, all ready to decorate tomorrow! Saw Mum this afternoon, she’s had a bad week, hopefully seeing Archie on Sunday will cheer her up…
Evening Allā¦.
Our river bank has been cut so lovely to be back walking on itā¦taking about 4 foot of height weeds and nettles down.

Evening everyone,
Lovely day in West Yorks. Sunny with a light breeze.
Weighed myself on Friday and I had lost 1.5 lbs. I was so pleased. I have not had breakfast for 2 days. I tried just having coffee but it gave me tummy cramps so not having anything until lunchtime. Getting used to it – see how I go.
I have been discharged from the eye clinic. I still have a slight shadow in my right eye but it doesn’t affect my vision. I bought a 50p book from the waiting room. A Barbara Vine chiller, enjoying reading it in the garden. Some of her books have a sinister edge to them.
Dave your picnic sounded lovely. Did you take Chloe with you? I was happy that City won. As a Leeds supporter I can’t support Utd. Back in the Championship next season š My DH supports Bradford City so not much glory in our house š
Next FD is Thursday and then weigh in Friday morning. I seem to be behaving at the moment – I hope it lasts.
Regards Bronwyn
Evening!
Bronwyn- well done with your loss, you’re doing well! Good you’ve been discharged āŗ I don’t think I’ve read any of Barbara Vine’s books…
Dave- enjoy the speedway, keep strong on your FD!
Jean- when do you go away? You get organised well ahead! Well done with your FD, & enjoy your lunch tomorrow…
Hemmy- the garden’s keeping you busy!
My FD has been okay, busy too- walked all 3 dogs, did ironing, youngest popped round, been to mum’s…the HomeStart family I supported who went to Belfast are back for a couple of days so we’re meeting for coffee tomorrow, guess it won’t be a 2nd FD…
Morning All..
A cloudy damp start again, usually brighter a little later..a river bank walk with Oreo..
Lunch back at the pub in Airmyn where we are walking this morning.
Bronwyn..
Well done at your weight loss and your new plan is working. Itās strange how you can get so focused at times then you loose the plot againā¦ my holiday head I feel I am struggling.
Hedgehog..
I go away a week Saturday 17thā¦ I have to get organised I am not so quick now and getting Charlieās bag done tooā¦ still I always start about two weeks before..
Three dogs to walk you must be burning the calories always so busyā¦
Dave..
Shame you didnāt play bowlsā¦ nice and brown though!
Jean x
Good morning everyone, Bronwyn I never have breakfast but on holiday I had it every day hence I put a stone on.Bradford had a great speedway track years ago. City’s final push on Saturday the champions league final. Got to win that one too equal united. Having lemon chicken for tea tonight with Mediterranean veggies.
Afternoon All..
An early walk then we went to visit my sister. She was teary and upset, a bit under the weather with a chest infection and a bad back. She was back talking to her imaginary people which she hasnāt done the last 4 visits.
Hoping for a FD today all is going wellā¦
A bit more getting ready for hols, case labels done, sorted toiletries out.
Jean x
Evening!
Dave- well done, you’re keeping low! Such a shame Chloe is so scared of other dogs…
Jean- nice you get to see Natalie & Oreo again, will she be off working again? Hope your sister gets better soon, sad that she was hearing the voices again…
Bronwyn- you’re doing well, I used to skip breakfast but do love it on a nonFD! Can’t seem to give that up at the moment…
Nana- take care & get better soon, a shame hubby is so good at sharing!
Hemmy- hope you’re okay & just busy with the watering!
FD was hard today, finished at 700cals. Walked with Obi & his owner- she’s still very unsteady, not sure how she’ll manage with him on her own, he does lunge at other dogs sometimes, she’s never corrected him. Didn’t have time to walk Enoch again…
Afternoon All..
Sun just appearing here itās been chilly.. out and about getting holiday bits, mozzy stuff, money went in the charity shop bought 6 books, found a Val Woods a local author I shall read that before I goā¦ I shall only take a couple, there will be too much talking going on.
Katie and family landed this morning, they are shattered so have gone to bed in hotel near the airport. She used it when she was with Emirates there is a small town nearby to walk around. She flies to Tenerife tomorrow.
Trying for another FD but getting in a holiday mood. I did one yesterday but finished at 600 but then went a bit higher to 800 cals I caved in a bit later in the evening.
Hedgehog..
I will see Nat next week hopefully, sheās flying this week.
So sad for my sister itās no life locked up all the time.. hoping to take her to the cafe next door to the home but I will have to ask and then I hope she goes back in.!!!
Obiās owner doesnāt sound very good on her feet..
Dave..
Hope your game goes well today, I shall possibly play Saturday and then Tuesday.

Hi FB Brits hope all is well with you Xxxx
What beautiful weather … June is so very pretty . Lots todo in the garden.. A full time job with my friend s plot to tend as well . I don’t mind but very time consuming… always glad to see them back lol.. ( Next Tuesday )
Just had a cuppa soup and cheese & crispbreads .. not feeling so hungry this weather.
Dave Enjoy the bowling lovely weather for it.
H H …I reckon skipping breakfast does help a lot .. For years I have only had coffee….at Xmas I got into eating toast and fruit with Kristy .. found it hard to lose weight.. Not eating till lunchtime I think really helps ..
Sym… I expect you are in holiday mode now .. maybe just relax and enjoy it.
Bronwyn.. How is it going for you today..
Enjoy the lovely weather everyone.. People can motivate you to begin, but it is
the self-motivation that takes you to the end. Xxxx
Hemmyā¦
Everything is growing so fast you will have so much to doā¦ I have a couple of bushes which really need trimming they have truly taken off maybe after holidays.. they tend to scratch you a lot.
Itās not very hot here quite cold this morning, a bit of sun out now Charlie is sun bathing but itās not that warm.
I like soup in hot weather lots of people donāt.
Sat starting my new book finish it before hols.. my favourite local author I tend to keep her books. She writes about my area, villages which you know crop up in her story line, this one has started in 1853 at the momentā¦
Jean x
Afternoon Allā¦
An early walk before it gets too hotā¦ at last the sun is here 24 degrees today maybe a touch hotter, blue skies. Daughter and family in Tenerife, so count down to me seeing her Saturday, I am getting excited to see them.
PĆ©tanque this morning only one game which our side won, so very hot, back for sausage sandwich at cafe. New owner normally cake and drinks only no food but she will continue the morning breakfast for us, which is nice.
Sat in the garden with a book and G & T.. just in at the moment, grass needs cutting, a job for later.
Dave.,
Hope the change of woods help you win today, ours was very slow due to the hot weatherā¦ you canāt win if it rains itās so fastā¦ hope your bathroom steam goes wellā¦.
Bought some dog blankets from Asda really struggling on what I want, the quality and the size, lots are a very shiny material which I donāt like.. coming tomorrow pick up local.
I canāt see me fasting much this week the hot weather and holiday head on ā¦see how I goā¦ I will tryā¦

Afternoon everyone
Lovely weather here today. Garden looking colourful but the soil is very dry and cracked and we have been watering some of the plants. The water butt has been empty for a while now.
Friday morning weigh in and I had lost another 1.5 lbs. I am getting used to not having breakfast and it is helping with the weight loss. It was hard at first but I am getting used to it. Had a day out to Buxton and Bakewell. Had scampi and chips for lunch and a glass of wine and an ice cream later. Still being goodš
Today has not been great. One of our dogs has an upset tummy. Won’t go into detail but it has involved some carpet cleaning. She is eating well and playing around so not poorly. I think she scavenged yedterday. We only have one carpeted room so she had to choose that one š Then a two hour appointment at Specsavers. Floaters and flashing in my other eye! Luckily not as bad as before so will not be referred this time unless they worsen.
Unexpected visitors have arrived so will sign off. Enjoy this lovely weather.
Regards Bronwyn
Well done Bronwyn, good loss. I love Bakewell & Buxton. We used to have a picnic by the river in Bakewell and I went to speedway in Buxton, it’s not there at the moment but may come back who knows. I’ll get weighed on Monday so fingers crossed. Big night tonight, champions league final. Feeling very nervous. Wish I didn’t but after watching them play for over 50 years I can’t help it.
Afternoon Allā¦
A lazy afternoon reading a bit in the sun then under the brolly.. did I have 2 or 3 G&Ts they were nice any way.., I got the grass cut, I hate sitting if jobs have to be done.. the couple of bushes need trimming but they are very scratchy so donāt want that all over my arms for holidays.
I am not sure what to eat I am not really bothered at the momentā¦ walked Charlie he was nattering to go a bit hot really but a job done..
Bronwyn..
Well done on the loss itās nice when you can change around to suit.. no breakfast is suiting you.
I love Bakewell the last winter break I had with Steve ā¦ scampi and chips sounds about right, my sort of thing.
Enjoy your visitorsā¦
Dave..
Good luck for weigh in Mondayā¦ enjoy the match..

Evening everyone have been missing for a week due to coming down with a really nasty cold that’s going around my OH passed to me. The only good thing about it was I hardly had an appetite which resulted in a two pound weight loss which I’m hoping not to regain. At least this hot weather that we’re having is helping as I’m drinking lots of water but also ice cold pinot grigo š
Haven’t had a chance to catch up on the posts I’ve missed but hopefully everyone is alright.
Back tomorrow.
Nana
Morning All..
All this weather is good if by the beach or have a swimming pool.. a bit too hot for at home every day.
Meeting Oreo this morning a good run before the heats up..
As I have just told my grand daughter 4 sleeps before I see them all.. meeting them at the airport to go to Majorcaā¦ if all goes wellā¦. they are in Tenerife at the moment.
FD went well yesterday see if I can squeeze one more in on Thursdayā¦
Nana..
Hope you are feeling much better I hate the summer colds..
Take it steady have another wineā¦.
Dave..
Lots of floods near you hope all is wellā¦No Petanque for me too hot.. itās a sun trap at the best of times.. hope speedway went wellā¦

Afternoon everyone
Very warm here. Fourth day I think. Our garden and patio are south facing and it gets very warm indoors on days like this. I have the blinds and curtains closed to keep it cool. Catching up watching tv recordings. Too hot for cooking or housework. Wish I was at the coast paddling.
Still not having breakfast. Most days it doesn’t bother me but the smell of fresh coffee does tempts me. Seems easier to not overeat when it’s warm. DH is away watching cricket for the third day. I usually overeat when I’m alone but so far so good. Friday is weigh in so hoping for another loss as I have been good since the last one. Two more days to go though.
Dave, I was glad City won š How is Chloe in this weather? My two are flat out on the laminate floor. Walked them first thing and they have not moved much since š¶š¶
Regards Bronwyn
