I do so hope Michael Mosley is found very soon.. safe and well. It must be soo very worrying for his family. Xxxx

Thanks for the replies. I think I’ll do daily weigh ins initially and measurements monthly. Then see how it goes.

Brads27, I’ve got a CockerPoo called Lando (one of my sons is a massive F1 fan). But I road ride so I’m expecting my cardio to come from that, and hopefully not chasing the dog.

I’ll post measurements / weight on Monday for accountability.

Thanks for the advice and have a great weekend all.

I like F1 but fed up of Max winning all the time, it is getting better. I go to speedway every week.Football got to expensive. Used to go to ice hockey as well with my son.I think my dog would have best the F1 cars over a 10 yard race 😄her grandad twice won the greyhound derby. But I’ve never seen her run apart from on YouTube.

Watching the football now, Chloe can smell food so she’s deserted me 🤪.More room for me😄Chloe is as long as the sofa when she stretches out, she’s so tall, think she’s bigger than Denise🤣.

20 miles seems pretty good to me.A long time since I had a bike. Never went very far on it, I think Stockport was the furthest I went.I tripped up and fell over my dogs toys so not feeling my best at the moment. The sun is out so the speedway should be ok tonight for the British final. I’ll watch it on TV. Having Kung Foo chicken tonight🤣 that’s what I call it🤣🤣.My ultra expensive smart ring should come next week, I’ll be amazed if it works but you never know.

Jean good you found a good kennel for Charlie. I think we are joined at the hip Chloe and I. She’s next to me in bed when I woke up and then almost sat on me on the sofa. Denise as gone in the kitchen so Chloe’s jumped up on her sofa😄. I’m aching a little after my fall yesterday 🫤 but can still get around ok. Speedway was good last night our local rider won the British title again, three years in a row now. The speedway world cup is on here in July. I was asked be email if I wanted tickets but to expensive £200.It is for 4 days but I’ll watch it on the telly. Going to be risky 4 days in Manchester without rain.

Busy day yesterday – took Xena to the beach for our early walk, a running club came past, about 30 of them, she was really good & stayed by me until she saw a lad who looked like eldest! She went near him & sniffed, realised it wasn’t him & came straight back 😂 Caught up on some more cleaning, went to our village show- got fries from my nephew’s truck but then saw other nephew with his son, greedy Archie had quite a few! Had an ice cream as well & then just salad in the evening, hubby & I walked Xena again in the forest to avoid the park … Did a long walk down to the lake today, cooking a roast for tonight & then Eton mess so just having one meal, very hungry now though! Youngest is coming …
Hope everyone has had a good weekend!

Good evening … FB Brits .. hope you are having a good day. Xxxx

Its been really chilly here .. coat on for walking. Its only been 15 deg and felt it.. At least I never had to do any watering at my neighbours all still damp from yesterday . I hope the weather is decent for them fishing in Scotland.

I have had a no cooking day.. roast beef crusty rolls for lunch and dinner . Naughty but nice..

Done lots in the garden I think May/June the very best time of the year. Lots of colour. The pink peonies look wonderful .. picked some and have them in the lounge.

Well done all who lost weight this week Xx

Just going to watch F1 enjoy your evening everyone.

Sunday .. the day to plan a lot then do nothing. Xxxx

Boo! Guess who!

I’m still around and still trying to keep the weight down.

I think the news of MM made me think back to this forum and how we all met ages ago and shared our journeys.

I’m currently half a stone higher than I want to be but not getting those much needed FDs in. Must do better!

Life is very busy with lawn green bowling, border morris dancing etc

Will try and post more!

Slider your a featherweight 😄 my legs weigh more than you 🤣🤣.I weighed more than that when I was at school. You don’t have to much to lose then. I’m shrinking,I used to be 188cm but now I’m about 183cm,I don’t understand metrics really so have to ask Alexa to convert them. Going bowling today but still feel stiff after falling over the dogs toys. Knees are really sore. Your brave having black tea🤢 got to have milk in for me. Just having a cuppa now but no food I’ll eat tonight around 6pm.

Afternoon All..
A very chilly day, Charlie walk and been out and about driving.. some parcels (jumpers) going back and a new dog collar needed.. no joy so bought off line.

Second fd today..I am going up in the wrong direction 5 lbs to loose.. I shall try but Katie arriving next week, wedding on Wednesday.. so a big push on July 1st.. we have to have fun.

Hemmy ..
Too cold for gardening and you have the watering to do. I love beef sandwiches nice and easy.

Kay.,
Lovely to see you back.. yes I think MM is giving me a kick up the bum.. three fasts on the trot especially for him 🥰 so very sad.

Slider..
You seem not at a bad place.. 20 lbs seems a lot more to think of loosing..

Dave..
Hope your knees hold out for bowling.. boules in the morning for me in the tournament, wet pitch not good for me..

Jean x

Back from bowling I was going to say I wouldn’t play but we only had the bare 8 so I had to play. We lost 5-3 in games,I lost mine but only by 3 points.It was freezing.June is normally nice and warm but not this year so far. Manchester as a bad reputation for rain but Liverpool gets more. Cardiff is the wettest city I think, Manchester is about 9th.Chloe isn’t well so I’ll have to take lots of paper towels with me now on our walk. She’s refused to rest chicken so she must be bad.

I’ve got bio scales so the data that comes off it is quite extensive.
I don’t know much about the smart rings. What’s the appeal?

Oura ring not Aura.😲🤣

I’ve just been looking back and in June 2015 I weighed 24 stone 9 pounds😱 I’m down to 19 stone 5 pounds. Goes to show the 5-2 works.I had poached eggs on toast for tea. So a low day today.I get weighed tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Hello…
Jean- hope the weather is better for tomorrow, have a good day! And really well done with 3 FDs, hope the scales are nice tomorrow…
Dave- poor Chloe, hope her tummy is better soon! Enjoy your watch, you & your gadgets!
Hemmy- like April here too, so cold & showery, hope it hasn’t wrecked your lovely flowers…
Slider- how did you get on yesterday?
Managed to stay fasting right up until dinner tonight so that was 47hrs. My sister came over this morning so we had a good catch up, then had a clear out of paperwork (the boys have left lots here!), & tidied the remainder away upstairs now we have another spare room. Not sure what the boys will think when they come back for dinner- eldest’s is becoming a study & youngest’s a laundry room 😂 We have booked 2 nights away in July, a shepherds hut in Norfolk, Xena will love it, a great big field just for her, all fenced off & secure…just hope it’s dry so we can sit outside…

Hedgehog
I failed tonight a bit I had a g&t still low.. I would like to see your sons faces when everything changed😂🤣

Slider ..
An early weigh in Wednesday won’t be good this week for me.. I also have my Texas daughter coming over so no fasting for the rest of the month.. big push for July…

Jean x

Good morning everyone off to MoreLife today, confident I’ll have lost weight, It’s still more like April than June, very nippy.My back is sore since I fell but will carry on regardless. Just took Chloe out, good job she dosent pull. If I let her off the lead she carries on walking as if she’s still on it🤣.

Afternoon!
Dave- really well done, you’ve done great with this course 👏
Slider- good idea using exercise to distract you, hope tomorrow’s FD is good…
Jean- enjoy the wedding, probably alot chillier than they anticipated with a June wedding when they booked it! Hope Charlie is okay with the sitter…
Nana- hope your weather is better than ours!
Hemmy- not really a cooking day here, I will make some hummus, having it with flat bread & salad, although feels more like soup weather!
A muddy walk again this morning, then shopping. My car we think has an oil leak from the back axle, hubby going to take it in. Cleaned mum’s Vax carpet shampooer up & sneaked back with it while she was out- we took out a shrub she’s let grow in the drive, I don’t think she’ll notice, have been nagging her to do it for ages so have given up!
Getting alot more jobs done now I don’t have to do as much cooking!

Afternoon All..
Back from wedding a really good day and evening. Both of them looked lovely.
It’s strange my first time going on my own, a good 12 hours and then breakfast too. The table on the night ended up with the dog walkers from the village quite lively bunch a lot of dancing.

Charlie was very fussy to see me. I am disappointed with my dog sitters they take your money and don’t give them much of a walk. I shall take Charlie out early and give him the hour he deserves.
Feeling tired now..

Dave..
Well done loosing your 3 lbs.. I stayed the same the bit what went on came off again… eaten and drunk loads at the wedding keeping away from the scales!!!

Hedgehog..
Glad you got the shrub hope she’s ok with it… all dry here are moment. Hope your car is easy to repair..
Got a quote for £1200 for my painting for 3 1/2 days work. Tony did it in one day!… I shall try and get a couple more quotes. It’s tricky to do but not a lot of painting really..gutters, eves and fall pipes… half house of masonry…my house is small..

Jean x

Hemmy…
I really think they should do more, £40 for a day and two hours.. it’s a lot of money.
They should be honest and say they don’t walk them… as it’s one day it’s not so bad, I won’t use her for any longer.
I feel like you on the voting, I think I missed one as on holiday but I always vote. I am down to 2 but nobody is worth the walk to vote!.. I really am undecided.

A jacket and cheese tonight I am not too bothered but it’s something… the boys just had his favourite scrambled egg with veggies and his kibble…

X

Evening!
I do feel strongly that us ladies should vote after all the suffragettes went through to get it…but they are all liars & don’t do what they promise, so I shall go & as a protest spoil my ballot paper with a rude message 😂 (not too rude though!) I think the turn out will be very low…
Busy day- rang HomeStart families- one didn’t answer so we’ll finish with her now. Did my notes, cleaned my oven- as I’m so messy I then had to wash the floor & clean the sink…
Another liquid FD today.
Have a good evening 🥰

Evening all

I’ll definitely vote. I’ll keep my political views to myself as I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes, but I do hope turnout is robust. The country is crying out for things to improve, so would be bizarre if then large swathes chose not to exercise their right. Anyway….

Hemmy, thanks for asking. Going well thanks. Was going to fast today but instead did it yesterday. I’d forgotten I had client seminars to attend which started with a cooked breakfast, moved on to a significant lunch, and ended with an afternoon tea! Felt great at the end of the day having had none of it.

I’ve not been home to weigh in so will do it tomorrow morning. Only week one so not expecting anything really.

Have a nice evening.

Hi Brads27. Yep, sure you’re right. I meant the fat loss specifically, but the overall weight fell about 2.5lbs. I’m happy as that’s just in 4 days, with two of them fasting.
Once my metabolism reacts to the fasting then the fat will trim. HIIT later to speed things up.

Good morning FB Brits .. hope all is well in your world. Xxxx

Its another damp start here ..so I expect another soaking while walking. lol

I have just been over to open my neighbours greenhouses for the last time today .. At least I haven’t had to do much watering this week.

looking forward to watching Trooping the colour .. Mum used to love anything with royalty .. I enjoy it too.

Weight is good staying within a pound or 2 at goal.. I have just been eating small meals .. I feel bored with it at the moment not having any fancies at all. I think it s just cooking for one .

Slider.. Well done on your loss this week .. its a good feeling.

Dave.. Its all about the election now.. I think lots will be thinking like you now..

H H .. I think I will spoil the ballot too. You are right that was a well earned vote by those wonderful brave women.

Sym… Yes I bet you were tired after the wedding.. its all the preparation before hand thats tiring.

Nana hope you had a lovely time.

Take care all … Remember to “dance in the rain.” xxxx
