Morning All…
Looks like a very wet day… supposed to be walking with Penny but she lets me down a lot…

Dave..
Shame on your weight gain after trying so hard. Hope your new scales are kinder to you.

Hemmy..
I agree I get very disappointed with outside food. I suppose we cook a lot and expect a lot more.
I have 1 lb more to loose to goal, it would be nice to get level before end of year.
Well done with your pound off…

Nana..
Good you enjoyed your Chinese. Well done to you too on
1 1/2 lbs off.

Bronwyn..
Have a lovely birthday weekend.

I just read this and thought it also applied to losing weight and getting fit, We mustn’t put it off. XXXX

Barely the day started and… it’s already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it’s already Friday.
… and the month is already over.
… and the year is almost over.
… and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
… and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
and we realize it’s too late to go back…
So… Let’s try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time…
Let’s keep looking for activities that we like…
Let’s put some color in our grey…
Let’s smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let’s try to eliminate the afters…
I’m doing it after…
I’ll say after…
I’ll think about it after…
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don’t understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold…
afterwards, priorities change…
Afterwards, the charm is broken…
afterwards, health passes…
Afterwards, the kids grow up…
Afterwards parents get old…
Afterwards, promises are forgotten…
afterwards, the day becomes the night…
afterwards life ends…
And then it’s often too late….
So… Let’s leave nothing for later…
Because still waiting see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences,
best friends,
the best family…
The day is today… The moment is now…
We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away. xXXX

Evening!
Hemmy- that was lovely! Well done losing your pound!
Bronwyn – happy belated birthday! Hope you have a lovely weekend & enjoy sharing that scrummy food with your family x
Dave- shame about gaining, sounds like you’ll be losing a few pounds in the Black Friday sales instead!
Jean- well done losing your pound! Shame about your treats yesterday…keep strong today!
Nana- hope your Auntie gets better soon, & really well done with your loss!
I lost a pound as well last week, feels like an awful lot of work for a pound, but that’s how it is for me! My neck was much better yesterday, we had a nice day out seeing a couple of antique centres & a scone at a tea shop. Another grotty weather day today, feel bad I didn’t walk Enoch but was drenched after taking Xena out… ironing done & saw mum this afternoon. Have done a FD, 630cals
Have a good weekend!

Hi F B Brits hope you are having a good Sunday.Xxxx

Its been an awful dark dank day here its so very wet every where. Parts of the fields are under water again.. Its never really dried out.

A busy day .. as out with Pip at 9am instead of 11 am all due to DAVE lolol reminding me about Amazon black Friday deals lol..

Sooo yesterday afternoon sat and ordered lots of pressies.. good deals too.. lol so had to be back to sign for some 10yr old whiskey for Phil… would you believe the guy even seeing me made me produce my driving licence re age lolol .. I know its policy but goodness, lolol

I have made chilli in the croc pot it s lovely best thing yet.
Pity I already have my dinner sorted .. my last cottage pie.from the freezer. lol,.

H H … So glad you are feeling better sounds like you had my ideal day yesterday.. Well done losing that pound another one bites the dust xx

Dave… You have done so well .. it must have been hard not losing after those long fasts. .
I must admit its put me off after watching a vidio and the woman only lost a small amount doing long fasts. I don’t think you can beat … 500 -800 cal fasts.

Enjoy your evening everyone. Did you know that diet stand for Did I eat that .lolol Xxxx

Good morning FBBs
The start of another week, hope it brings some weight loss for some of us 🙂

I weighed myself this morning and I have gained 1.5 pounds over my birthday weekend. I am hoping it is a false weight like you can sometimes get – on quickly and off quickly. My DILs told me my face looked slimmer!! I don’t really want a thinner face 😂 it’s the rest of me. Back to 18/6 from today. Next weigh in Friday.

My neighbours are having an extension built across the back of their house. It started today and it is very noisy with the machinery. Our dogs have started too. In for some noisy weeks 🐶🐶

Dull day weatherwise but it has not been really cold yet here so that’s a bonus. Will get on with some jobs.
Regards Bronwyn

Trying to do a liquid fast again, gone 17.5 hours so far, bowling this afternoon,I’m driving so have to pick them up.The weather is ok, very cloudy but dry.

Hi FB Brits .. how is your world today. xxxx

Its been a dry but dark day again.. A sunny start for our walk but clouded over oh so very quickly.

I made 4 chilli meals yesterday in the croc pot for the freezer will have with jacket potato or rice..

I have just got all my Christmas stuff down to check on what I need re wrapping cards etc Bought lots of bits in the spring sales… Just need more tags.// wrapped up some gifts. So I must now stay well ahead and not as often slip back and rush last minute lol.. I have promised my self a easy Christmas all done and dusted well before lolol. I wonder lolol.

Just had a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich lunch time… Chilli and jacket potato this evening .. No noughties for ages ..lol.

Good luck if you are doing a fast today … Tomorrow is a 800 cal day for me.

Enjoy your evening everyone. Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person from yesterday. Xxxx

Hello all…
Bronwyn – I’m sure the extra will disappear quickly! I suppose at least the building work isn’t in summer when you want to be outside!
Jean- you did well with the book shopping! So pleased your grandson seems to have picked up, hope all goes well in Sydney for him …
Hemmy- well done with your Christmas shopping! So controlled with your eating, very well done 👍
Dave- keep strong on your fast, I’m with you!
Nana- hope you’ve had a good weekend…
A liquid FD again for me, have been okay. Walked Xena & Enoch, he’s still not back to normal, he’s lost weight & has lost fur in places, seems edgy on his walk 😞 Popped out to the shops & have found a jumper/ dress for my aunt’s birthday bash, it’s quite flattering & wasn’t too expensive! Popped to see youngest son, he told us some scary stuff about his fire course, glad I didn’t know at the time! His gf’s nail business is growing & he’s applied for another job which if he got it would give him more time to be on call for the fire service, so 🤞🤞
Watching I’m a celeb, definitely not hungry now!

Tired of carrying around excess weight? I know the feeling all too well. But this amazing weight loss product helped me drop from 85kg to a lean 55kg. Take control of your weight today – click here to order and experience a new level of confidence!

Still going done 41 hours, this will be my last one this long, to difficult to do and I have been very hungry this time. I have proved to myself that I can do it, so it’s always there if needed. Got to come up with another plan.

Hi F B Brits ..hope you are having a good day. Xxxx

Its been damp and cloudy here .. not raining as such but oh soo very wet everywhere it never dries up. Looks like a run of some dry days now though.

Went shopping into Bicester had intended to do some present shopping .. but by the time I waited in the Bank and Post office .. the time on the parking had flown.

Never ate anything till 3.30 as never went to food stores. So far today.. 2 bits of toast One peanut butter the other marmite on e cup of soup.

Just going to get Pips dinner but I am soo full lol.. Something light later ..

Nana .. you do so well as I have said before with all your visiting and friends.

Dave.. Didn’t not losing last week put you off the long fasting.. What about trying one meal a day to see how that pans out.

H H .. such a shame about Enoch every time you mention him I think well done HH you are such a good woman. xx
How is todays fast going.

Sym.. I find it hard going this year with presents everything looks tatty to me.at silly prices. lolol Maybe sign of my age lolol.

Bronwyn… Hope it hasn’t been too noisy today.. Funny it must be the time of year as lots going on around here Driveways etc.

Have a lovely evening everyone…”Every day brings new choices.” Xxxx

Well done Julie, I struggled myself but lasted 48 hours without food. Not doing it next week. I’ve only had 900 calories today so almost another FD.Funny how hungry you get after eating food. I was exactly the same.

Good morning everyone, going bowling in 15 minutes. It’s been raining during the night so the green will be heavy.I ended up having 1000 calories yesterday so a low day after the long fast.My new scales are coming on Friday,no sign of my watch yet though.

Hi F B Brits.. hope you are having a good day. Xxxx

Another grey day after the forecast promise of sunshine all day..

A quiet walk .. still soo very muddy .. and although 13 deg a chilly feeling.

Late lunch as just comeback from Coffee with my neighbour.. .. This morning I had lost another pound after not much yesterday .. being out shopping till late .. then late lunch .. only had a few crackers and cheese in the evening .. Soo my very best weight for years.

I was just saying to my friend though.. she is struggling its soo much easier when its just you to cook for. . They have cooked lunch every day.

Sym.. A good idea re the presents..I was just having this conversation with my friend. Young people seem to have everything.. .. years ago.. for adults you just bought a box of chocolates or bottle of wine.. A stocking filled with sweets and some tiny toys. for the children..

Enjoy your afternoon everyone… hope the sunshine is with you. ” Avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.” Xxxx

Good morning everyone.Another dull day but dry at the supposed to be a fast day today but up early so not looking good. My scales and watch both came yesterday, I’ve set my watch up so the scales now need setting up. They do lots of things, weight, body water,bone density,heart age, even the weather. They are WiFi and Bluetooth. They record everything on your phone and store it for years.

Morning All…
I need up be up and moving early to take Charlie out.
I am going to see grandson for lunch, he leaves for Sydney tomorrow evening.

I have lost 1 lb it takes me back to goal, hoping I can hold on for end of year weigh in.

Hemmy..
You are still doing very well it’s definitely a way of life for us now although it’s hard for me to keep it there!
I am enjoying my seeded Ryvitas, I had a small tin of tuna (100 cals) with mayo with 5 Ryvita’s very tasty..

Dave..
I agree the scales look very tec.. Hope they are kind to you this week…

Hedgehog..
Balls are a nightmare out especially a squeaky one.. Charlie steals them and won’t give back..last tussle ended up with a fight and nasty bite on Charlie’s face, I keep well away if possible.

Seems very cold out today.. thermals out ..??

Have a good day…

Jean x

Well I have stepped on the new scales and have lost 2lbs😁 got to finish setting them up now, will do it later. It’s fascinating the things the scales do, they even tell you the weather.

Just been out with Chloe, it’s freezing 🥶. The scales look great so I will have to sort out the rest of what they do. Will do it while Denise watches her Christmas films 🙄.I might try another liquid fast on Monday but if I get too hungry I’ll do an 800 fast.

It’s 1°C here and time to take Chloe out, she will have her bobble hat on tonight, keep her ears warm. She looks good in it and dosent mind wareing it.

Don’t go for too long Bronwyn, and let us know how your doing from time to time. It was below zero last night, very cold.Its very sunny outside but only 2°C. And another freezing night tonight. Going to finish setting up the scales now.

Afternoon!
Posting because I’m putting off doing some sewing 😂
Bronwyn- hope you’re okay, please let us know how you’re doing 🤗
Jean- sounds really good for James the grandson, having people to meet up with as soon as he’s there should be very helpful, what course is he doing? Well done getting back to your goal, I’ve a way to go yet!
Hemmy- I’m sure even if you put a few pounds on over Christmas you’ll soon lose it! Definitely worrying how long the dates are on some foods, they must be full of chemicals!
Dave- well done losing 2lbs, the new scales were nice to you!
Nana- well done with your loss again, it’s certainly working how you’re doing the eating …hope your night out & weekend are good!
I lost 2lbs as well last week, probably back on after yesterday with the yummy Toblerone cookies I made! Feeling a bit fragile today, I get like that if I’ve got used to less sugar & then have more, a carby hangover! Had a lovely time catching up with our friends, Tom seems to have aged since we last saw him, he’ll be 80 on new year’s eve. They bought lots of Dutch Christmas goodies I’ll have to hide them away!
Walked Xena, & then Enoch, he seemed so hungry, snatching biscuits from me, I did tell Linda he needs to have more food…my sister is seeing mum today, must get something productive done, 2 pairs of trousers to shorten, I hate sewing! A FD here…

Hedgehog..
Some lovely Dutch things to hide away.. I am naughty I have had some Christmas nougat I had the need…
James course really is a meeting of people who are wanting to work in Aussie.. just meeting up and doing some holiday things in the area, a one to one for a work placement and what they want to do, NI number, open a bank account and SIM card…getting to know the area. His flight is going at 8.40, he is just starting to board now..
I will miss him but it’s an opportunity of a life time… or he may be back in two months…

Dave..
Why don’t you do a regular 5.2 week see how you go, then go back to liquid for a week..

Jean x

Hi FB Brits .. What a dark damp miserable ole day today

For some reason I keep thinking its Saturday today.. It doesnt feel like a Sunday. lol It is the G P though … Come on Max.. lolol

Back to a slippy muddy walk today..it was just drying up a bit..

Lolol H H and Sym..
I have also opened some Christmas chocolate .. that why I don’t like it about too early lol One year I had to replace stockings about 3 times lolol

H H well done with your 2 lb loss thats brilliant. Whatever you are doing is working. Xx

Bronwyn.. stay safe.Xx

Well done everyone that’s lost weight this week. .. Xx

Be stronger than your excuses.

Afternoon!
Hemmy- I am okay with the Christmas chocolate, I won’t eat that… unfortunately most of the Dutch biscuits we have I’m the only one who eats them!
Jean- a great opportunity for your grandson, hope he gets on okay, the course is a great idea! Keep away from your spare room & the goodies! Although your maintaining now so you can relax a bit!
Dave- hard to know what to do sometimes, cutting out bread worked well for you before?
The fields are drying up at last here, so didn’t need wellies for a change, had a long walk with Xena. Cooking roast chicken tonight, first roast this winter! Hopefully another FD today, unless I get tempted by the roasties!

Good morning cold here but dry at the moment.Going bowling this afternoon so will need a jumper. Looks like it’s been raining so will put my trainers with the good grip on.A fast day today but don’t think it will be a liquid one.
