Just back from taking Chloe out, it’s freezing and wet. Think it’s going to be a bad summer this year.Not going on holiday this year either, first time in over 50 years, Denise’s knee is just too bad, she can barely walk. I need to win the lottery then I would pay for her to have it done. I feel hungry all the time which is not good but so far I’m resisting the food.After our walk Chloe’s asleep within minutes🤣. She got up on the sofa with me last night and I put a blanket over the two of us, she was quite happy with that.

Afternoon All…
What a grotty cold day.. managed a dry walk then the rain started …
Popped out for shopping I hate doing it on a Saturday..

Hemmy..
Sorting through the freezer found two home made fish cakes… lovely crusty bread that’s for this evening…I need to eat through it again…
The neighbours holiday seems to have passed quick glad you have had rain makes it easier for you.
I saw some of the parade, I thought Cathrine looked quite good but Charles under the weather and tired.
It’s hard going through chemo.

Dave..
Sorry to hear Denise isn’t too good, hope she can get some to help…

Hedgehog..
Enjoy the meal tonight with the boys you will be like mother hen!!!
No boules on a Saturday now it seems to have fallen off..nice quiet day reading..
It will be interesting how your aunt and uncle feel on the coach trip..

A bit of a damp walk but not too bad.. I booked my painter I asked him to call me for a chat, he’s ringing me on Monday.

Morning All..
A good across the fields and riverbank walk, cows in one place so avoided them…they have been near the gate for two days now, they will be soon on the move again. It’s easy that we can spot them.

Bed changed all washing dry and ironed, airing. Blankets out blowing and sofa blankets in the washer. No rain but expected.. more done than I thought.
I think I will cut the grass…🤞🏻

Dave.,
This weather is so bad.. what a summer!
The winter was so wet too.. it must stop and calm down at some time..

I will be fasting Monday it’s well needed… but it will then be iffy as Katie is here, wine flowing and food…
Back to normal 1st July…
That’s life!!

Afternoon all,

Yes I’m back again as my weight is yo yoing and I’m not looking to set foot on the scales as I don’t really want to know what they say until I get some fasting in.

Definitely not fasting today as it’s Fathers day and a few goodies are waiting to be eaten but will probably have the first fast tomorrow.

Not sure I’ll be voting next month as it’s really difficult to tell the main parties apart and not sure I would trust any of them to run a bath let alone the country.

It’s a very wet and grey day here in Scotland can someone please put in an order for some sunshine for the next few months.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Dave..
The cows I suppose will be on the move tomorrow.. the bull must say come on girls let’s go..

Typhoo.,
Lovely to have you back…get you back onboard again..

Hemmy..
What a shame raining for the full holiday.. still it’s been very bad everywhere..
Raiding the freezer.. mince and carrots already done..added peas, roast potatoes and a yorkshire, very tasty.

Happy Father’s Day everyone…

Good morning,

It’s another cloudy morning here and looking like it might rain at any time.

Fasting today for the first time in quite a while and will be doing a non food day as usual so probably will be just the one fast a week but will see how things go.

Great to see England get their first win of the tournament not the best performance maybe but three points on the board so onwards and upwards.

Good luck to all those fasting today and remember it’s only for one day and tomorrow we can eat normally.

Morning All…
Usual walk but cows have moved, so back tracked a bit.. dry but started to drizzle when we got back..

Window man has measured the two windows, about £100 he is quite good value..a week to make so he will come back early July after Katie has gone.

I decided to get some plants for Steve’s trough at the garden centre..Charlie is with me… we have popped into the cafe and in the dog area, I can’t see what’s on offer… I decided on a cherry scone, damage limitation… mine are 50 cals… this must be 1000 it’s enormous.. so no fast day… still Charlie has helped!!

Hemmy…
I don’t like sport.. so reading… TV is awful…

Steve..
Yes a good win or is it a scrape through😂
I don’t like it but did look to see how they are doing…

Dave..
You are all making me feel guilty eating… still it’s a non weigh in week while Katie’s here.. maybe not so focused as I know that I will be eating and drinking…

Played Bowls in the sun, makes sick a change. It rained at first but was nice when I played, it was a real nail biter.I ended up having to knock his 2 bowls out and gain one myself, all the rest of the two teams were watching and shouting. I did it so won 21:20. Not had anything to eat apart from a skinny whip biccy 80 calories. Might have beans on toast for tea. May even add scrambled eggs with it.

Hello all!
Welcome back Typhoon! We have missed you…
Had a lovely evening with the boys, then a nice lazy day yesterday, have been really hungry but kept it under control! Swapped FDs about, finally a sunny day today, took my car in for a minor job, then went to the coast to make the most of it! Had a cream tea out & then a bacon & avocado baguette for dinner with salad, hopefully not too bad but I don’t think I’ll lose this week!

Afternoon All..
A sunny day here and warm 😎
Walk with Natalie and Oreo nice to catch up, she’s busy working now so don’t see enough of her..
Collected my tray of eggs.

Played in my tournament 13-8 13-8 so I took the game..
Semi is next I shall be playing Peggy.
The other semi is two men so the final will be lady and a man.

I nearly went to have a pm game but decided on cleaning and sorting the back bedroom out for Katie and Charlotte. Most done now just to polish of kitchen cupboards, shopping and baking a quiche.. biscuits?? I will see..

New collar on for the boy, Fitbit stitched on so it doesn’t fall off. Harness mended coming unstitched. So he’s nice and tidy. Good groom and a hot water wipe down.

Nana..
Glad you had a good holiday.. a lot of walking.

Hemmy..
I think me and you on the same page..getting glammed up.. I live in dog walking stuff 😂.. I always do my hair and makeup every day. So that bits tidy.
Enjoy your Kirsty break…

Dave..
Well done on the bowling. I don’t like everyone watching..

Hedgehog..
Hope the cars sorted. A lovely day at the coast I haven’t even thought about it this year.. cream scone sounds good.

Steve..
Get back on board and loose the 30 lbs.. you could get that off by Xmas…it’s going in the right direction.

I am fasting today being busy has been good.

Evening everyone, it’s been a lovely sunny warm day here. We started off doing some much needed weeding in our garden and then sat in the garden and enjoyed a nice BBQ afterwards.
Off to St Ives for our usual Wednesday lunch with friends but will be one down as they are having a hip replacement operation tomorrow. Looks promising weather-wise for tomorrow so Geraldine will be used. Typhoo Geraldine is the name I’ve given to my recently purchased tricycle to replace my bicycle as my balance is not as good as it was and I wanted to still be able to cycle up to the guided busway near here to catch the bus into St Ives.
All ready for Katies visit Jean and well done with the boules.
Enjoy the evening everyone.

HH yes I miss it today. I’ve lost a pound so still going in the right direction. It’s a cup game today otherwise I wouldn’t be playing. In the league one player can play twice but not allowed in the cup and we already have to give them over 20 points start so if I didn’t play that world get over 40 points start. Were missing a few of our best players today so not looking good. I need to lose 4lbs then I’ll drop a weight from 19 to 18 stone.Not bad considering I was 24 stone 9lbs a few years ago.

Afternoon all

Not a great day here weather wise it’s been quite overcast but as yet no rain but wouldn’t be surprised if it does maybe overnight.

Hemmy

The excitement of my day was doing a little shop this morning to get a few essentials but also got some bread, quorn ham and beetroot for some very tasty sandwiches earlier.

I’m not expecting my numbers to move this week although I have done a little more walking today so if I lose one pound I’d be quite happy with that.

Good luck to anyone fasting today and remember tomorrow you can eat normally.

Evening everyone, another nice day here. Sadly Geraldine was not used today as the other couple that we have lunch with were unable to make it so we stayed at home and made it a fd as we’re out tomorrow evening for a meal with my old workmates.
Dave well done on losing another pound.
Hemmy your lunch sounds nice.
Ely tomorrow and visit Auntie.
Have a good evening everyone.

Good evening FBBs Its been a beautiful day…Xxxx

Still so very warm this evening .. I haven’t done much today as still really tired I did manage to do some bits in the garden though . lolol

Perhaps its time to go back to healthy eating .. lots of meals lately have just been a sandwich.

The stew /soup was tasty and healthy..

Typhoo … Are you veggie I cant remember. .. I have been thinking lately I may try it.. I dont eat much meat I never have.. I love eggs.

Brads.. It would be lovely if Denise could manage to go for a picnic.. I bet she so misses tbe Line dancing. My friend Pam loves it

Nana … Hope you find your Auntie well and in good spirits tomorrow Xx

Hope everyone is having a good day.. Don’t look for happiness, create it. Xxxx

Ps… Sym just seen your post.. The younger ones are so unpredictable.. but keep us on our toes. lolol xx

H H .. How is your day going. Xxxx

..

Morning All..
Nothing like an excited mummy…whatever their age…flight on time they arrive Manchester at 10.15..

Hemmy..
I eat easy too ..too many sandwiches and jacket potatoes although not too good at the moment..too many biscuits!! Must stop think again in July..

Hedgehog..
It was beautiful here yesterday but when it clouded over quite chilly… I am sure you enjoyed the afternoon tea even inside.
All lovely things for the fireman to eat..

Have a good day everyone..

Afternoon all

It’s coffee made and football is on busy day with the England game and then Italy vs Spain which should be a good game.

Hemmy

Yes I’m vegetarian I wasn’t before I met my ex but since we separated ironically she has gone to eating meat while I have remained veggie.

Jean

I had to make sure my cupboard was free from biscuits,crisps and anything sweet before the I got back to fasting in the knowledge I would be very tempted otherwise.

Liquid FD here…kept busy with some HomeStart stuff to do (I’m starting with another new family next week to replace the one who kept not answering!), we cleared out some stuff from younger son’s wardrobe, did lots of pruning in the garden, washed my kitchen floor & then spilt half a tub of protein powder over it 🤦
The firemen enjoyed the cakes apparently, a quiet day for son, they did go to rescue a cat stuck on a roof & it got down as soon as they arrived!

Good morning everyone a lovely day here today, will put my new shorts on for bowling. I’d better slap on the sun cream, I’ll put it on now, I use Ultrasun cream I am very sure that there is not a better cream on earth. It’s absolutely brilliant but expensive.I wait until it’s on special offer then buy it. You only put it on once 15 minutes before you go out then that is it for the day, you can even go swimming.

I played a bloke with the same surname as mine, on Monday my mate played another man with my surname. I’m playing rhubarb at the moment Won 5 in a row now lost the last 3🤪. I’m under my allowance by a few 100 today. Bit the weight is not moving very fast

Good afternoon F B Brits in our little corner of the Forum. Xxxx

Its a lovely day again although a nice breeze.. so much more comfortable for our pets.

A lovely long walk today .. a bit naughty and picked a big bunch of moon daisy’s and wheat.. They look gorgeous in my Mums old flowered china jug.

Yesterday while out shopping I bought 3 Marks and Spencer Italian meals. £9 for 3 . This evening i will have the spaghetti Bol…add some broad beans. . So an easy peasy food evening .

H H Did you go to the car boot.. I had forgotten about them this year .. we have a regular Saturday one on Finmere Acrodrome.

Dave… I think you are doing well just losing a small bit at a time weekly your body can then adjust to it..

I have noticed over the years losing a little and often seems to keep the weight more stable.

I think after my first week of losing which a lot of it is water initially I only lost about 1-2 a week at anytime.

I do notice now over this past year my weight seems to stay within 1-2 lbs of goal.

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday.. Be kind to yourself .. you are important too. Xxxx

Hi all!
Dave- stick with it, hopefully a blip & then you’ll lose again… although obvs I’m a master of finding it hard to lose! You lost alot when you stopped eating bread, are you having much bread at the moment?
Jean- lovely to see your girls, good they’re getting on okay… strawberry picking sounds lovely, I’ve not been for ages!
Hemmy- mum likes the M&S meals too, they’re good value.
We did go to the car boot, bought some sundae dishes & some strawberries so will make Eton mess another day…bought a hosta for the shade in the garden, but rained on & off this afternoon so can’t plant it out yet.
Have managed a FD, 640cals.

Good evening my,my it’s quiet on here area you all busy?

Good afternoon F B Brits.. Xxxx

It s a beautiful day .. very warm.. so it was an early walk ..

I am just taking a break from giving the car a good clean as its MOT tomorrow.

This evening its going to be a mushroom omelette and salad.. fruit.

Better get cleaning lol.. Good luck anyone fasting today ..

Happiness starts from ourselves. Xxxx

Afternoon everyone, sorry I’ve been missing for a few days. I heard the bad news that my weds & fri night friend who was unwell last weds had a stroke. It’s early days to know the full extent but the Dr has confirmed some rehabilitation will be needed. I weighed myself fri morning and weighed the same as on the fri morning when we went on holiday.
I’ve decided to do 18:6 and 1300 calories daily as I find that easier.
It’s been very warm here the last few days so BBQ every evening with salad which will be the case tonight with homemade burgers.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.
