My son got stuck in Birmingham last night, the train was cancelled and he’s booked on a train to Southampton today. He had to get a taxi home from Birmingham which cost him £90. It’s a disgrace. He’s on his way to Southampton now so hope he dosent need a taxi home from there or he’ll need a mortgage.The roofers said it should all be done by Monday. So I hope they are right. A sunny day today so it makes a change from all the rain.
Evening All…
Chilly day but bright… walked with Natalie and her mum this morning which was nice I don’t usually see her on a weekend.
A lazy day really sorting Charlie’s food out for his holiday I need more and crocheting…
I down loaded my holiday tickets for Jacqui to print off.
Hemmy..
Lovely you are loosing your weight slowly.. I think we all know our own naughties..well done on your pound off.
I am waiting for my all clear on my eyes on Thursday then I can sort holiday things out.. everything is there just needs pulling out of wardrobe.
It’s nice catching up with my friend she’s a Petanque lady she very nice.
Hedgehog..
It’s a worry walking through the trees when it’s windy, I have stayed clear. SIL about the same apparently a bit better today..well done on 1/2 pound off.
Dave..
Hope you like your new watch.. shame on the roof and the rain hope they can get back soon.
I am waiting for email for a price, off the plumber it’s not arrived as yet, supposed to be today.
Nightmare for your son and loosing lots of money and all the messing about…it just gets worse.
Cuppa time…

Hi all, have been reading your posts today which all make me smile and recognise just how close all of you are on this journey. Last weekend I blew it, and today going the same way. When I started on 2nd Jan I was 16st 9LB. This morning 15st 10lb. Not bad but as I say, the weekends are my downfall. Monday coming will be back on the grindstone which I actually find quite easy now, (hopefully). Two days on 24 hr fast, eat 6.00pm each night then plan to introduce a light lunch the rest of the week. A Christmas present was a book, “Bored of Lunch” 6 ingredient Slow Cooker recipes. Several really good recipes which include nutritional values for cals, protein and carbs. Will be trying some out soon. Not many that freeze though. I sometimes use my camera phone when I see a book that interests me on a bookshelf. I photograph the book and order it at my local library then use a recipe that interests me. Look after the pennies….as they say. Gym at 7.30 am this morning then home for breakfast, coffee only then Greek Salad at Lunch time. Refuse to say what I had for dinner tonight…. Take care out there, will post again soon.
Couscous..
That’s a stone off absolutely brilliant..Dave and Hemmy use the slow cooker they might like the recipes.
I only have two meals a day, it’s just got in the habit, I eat after my walk about 10.30 then again about 4.30 so it gives me a good fasting window. Then my two fast days.
It sometimes changes if I meet up will people.
We are a close lot, Hemmy, Kay and myself have been on the group for 10 years, with the others joining us. We help each other with ups and downs of life, which obviously causes problems with eating. It’s a lovely group.

Good morning FB Brit friends. Xxxx
After yesterdays lovely sunny day its very dull and forecasting another storm. Hopefully we will miss this one to.
Having a good weekend.. with food .. Just gradually cutting back on things. This morning ditched the breakfast toast.. Had Milky coffee .. banana satsuma. 3 walnuts. See how that goes this week.
I only ever used to have fruit for breakfast but crept back to toast at Christmas.
Day 7 no wine. I really must say I am not really missing it. ..Drinking more water and have a whole lemon squeezed into it. Its really good for you.
C C Yes we have all come along way together.. its a journey of ups and downs .. happy occasions and sad ones and it all add to the journey.
I think the weekends seem to be the danger spot.. its sort of Wow.. we have been soo good all week now time to relax get the Chocs savouries and wine out.
I have found over the years just having 1 treat day per week works well..you can stay within 1-2 lbs of goal .. and that is easy to cope with
..
I have stayed at goal weight give and take a pound for a few years now with Xmas always the downfall eating up the remains lol.
Have good week .C C and get back in the saddle. .
Dave.. I hope the noise next door didn’t last too long plus never upset Chloe . Did your son get back ok
Sym… Ohh I think your 2 meals a day and timing are great I might try that.. I think my dinner at 6.30 is too late.
What time does Charlie eat.
Enjoy your day everyone.. My Gran said “Sunday was a day of rest” Xxxx.
What time does Pip eat? When we first got Chloe she would gobble down her food as soon as we gave it to her. That was just kibble what they recommend at the centre where we got her. Now she as fish with most of her meals, a tin full of fish mixed with kibble.Sunday she as whatever we have and that disappears in minutes. Her own dog food can’t sometimes be there all day then she as it about10pm.I think when we first got her she wasn’t taking any chances and scoffed it right away.My son got home at 1-30am and it cost him over £90 he went to bed and was up early yesterday as he’s gone to Southampton for a couple of days. The noise died down eventually around 11-30pm.Chloe was in a playful mood today rolling on her back so I would tickle her belly then jumping when I stopped. Lamb for tea tonight my favourite.
They said the roof will be finished today, YIPPEE.Will be happy when the scaffolding is all gone. Then we can tidy up, next job is decorating. Going to do the whole house room by room. Do that will take a while but should keep us busy.Wall paper and painting. Going to take it slowly so we don’t get fed up doing it.
Dave… Pip eats at 6pm.. I have always found it a good time with my dogs.
Its late enough if I am out in the afternoon and early enough if I am going out in the evening… Springers are not that bothered about their food more interested in activity lol… What ever the weather.
Kristy’s terrier is always wanting food but choosy about going out in wet or windy weather . lol Like humans I expect lolol
The lamb sounds lovely I can smell it from here.. Mum loved her lamb chops on a Sunday thought lamb was the tastiest meat. . Enjoy.
Evening!
Couscous – brilliant, well done losing a stone! That’s brilliant, it is hard staying on track at the weekend, the more I fasted the more I ate on nonFDs sometimes! We have been all on here a while, it does help & nice to support each other with all life’s problems, not just the weight ones …
Dave- hope all the roof stuff & scaffolding cleared away soon… don’t envy you the decorating, we keep putting off the hall stairs & landing, worst job! Hope your son gets back okay, very windy down south this time!
Jean- hope your eyes are okay when they’re checked, will be nice to concentrate on your cruise! I’ll have been on here 8 years this year, it’s gone so quickly!
Hemmy- I do 2 meals most days too, but about 11am or 12, then 6ish, if I ate early like Jean I would be really hungry by bed time!
Youngest coming for dinner tonight, hunters chicken & then chocolate mousse. As long as we don’t get a power cut, the lights keep going off, very windy here!
Naughty Xena pulled me right off my feet when I got her out the car this morning, I went flying! Have been working on getting her to wait, but obviously alot more work needed! Lucky it was Sandy so a soft landing!
Have a good evening everyone 🥰
I still can’t get over Chloe growling at one of the roofers. Must be the Irish accent she was born in Tipperary so maybe she was mistreated in Ireland, she does have lots of bite marks in her legs and body and nose. Chloe would eat 24/7 and also sleep 24/7. I’ve been scammed online so I have a bill just short of£30 pending so I got onto the fraud department of my bank. They have traced the company,I tried to get in touch with them but it says on their website may have moved so can’t get in touch. Hopefully the bank will block the payment and all will be ok.
Evening All…
Up and out early. I was joining Jacqui at church with 30 school children singing. . It was a service remembering all the fishing vessels which went down in bad weather, we had a large fishing community in Hull. Quite emotional but very nice. The mayor, wreaths, police and sea cadets and TV cameras were there.
No email from the plumber.. I have emailed him to see if he’s had chance to do it… hopefully tomorrow.
Hemmy..
Charlie has his breakfast before his walk at 8am, I know that’s wrong but he wants it then, dinner after pm walk 4.15 ish.
I seem to have fallen into two meals, I always eat after the walk, so lunch is too close so I miss it. Unless I am meeting anyone for lunch. Drinking lemon in water gives me cystitis so I give that a miss. Take care.
Dave..
That’s a lot to pay out for your son. The trains are terrible. Chloe naughty growling maybe it’s her past. Strange Charles was born in Ireland too. He is with the Irish kennel club.
Hedgehog…
I will come for dinner tonight it sounds good. Hope you are ok after your fall it takes you by surprise. I think my weather is better than this morning.

Good morning everyone The sun is out after rain last night. It feels quite warm after all the cold weather. I was up early today Chloe didn’t know what to do think she was in shock. She’s asleep now catching up on her beauty sleep. She’s malting not much counts off her like Heidi the German shepherd but can notice it on the stairs. Might have fish and chips tonight just for a change.
Morning All…
Walk with Natalie it was very cold.
Charlie isn’t well this morning, I just don’t know, he hasn’t eaten and fast asleep.
Plumber confirmed gave an estimate of £1400.. thought that was good. So off to shop to confirm what I want and give a deposit.
Dave..
Happy Birthday.. fish and chips sounds just right.
Have a lovely day.
