Here is an explanation of why the myth about muscle weighing more than fat was dispelled.
The difference between fat mass and muscle mass is the density, not weight. Muscle is a compacted dense tissue, more sculptured than fat and therefore takes up less space compared to fat which is soft and sculptured.
The difference is about body composition, not weight. fat has greater volume and muscle has greater density so while looking at the same weight of each, muscle takes up less space than fat therefore muscle mass looks smaller than fat mass, but they weigh the same.
Increasing muscle mass without significantly reducing body fat will cause weight gain on the scales, clothes fit etc because while muscle has increased body fat has not decreased.
So weight gain while someone is strength training and building muscle mass can be attributed to not losing enough body fat, retaining water due to inflammation, carb intake, illness or stress as examples of the many different reasons why.
So while scales can show whether weight is up or down, and this can change dramatically day by day due to a whole host of different factors, there is so much more to take into account as the scales are probably the least reliable of all tools at our disposal.
Good morning everyone.
Neil, Quacka and Thin, I feel you scales pain. I hope you all have a better week ahead.
In the week since I last posted I’ve done 3 FDs (Sa, Tu, Fr), yet my weight as of yesterday is unchanged. I suspect fluid retention, due to hot weather, is a factor. I sneaked in a weigh-in mid week and was down 1.2kg, then the weather changed and I know I retain fluid when it’s hot. The weather here turned hot by Thursday – we are now facing a week of mid-30s UGH!
I have realised just how much my mood and energy levels are impacted by the weather. When it’s cool I sleep so much better and usually have unbroken sleep, so I have more energy and I want to get out of the house and do things. When it’s hot I get limited broken sleep and feel tired all day and I don’t want to leave the house. In the last few days as it steadily returned to summer temperatures here, I could actually feel myself getting grumpier and fatigued. It’s like a brain fog descends over me and I plod my way through the day. I really do live in the wrong city for someone who’s so averse to hot weather.
Cinque, I smiled when reading your comment about needing a week to recover from a sleepover. I used to feel like that. My great niece and nephew are 11 and 13 now, so I offered a day out this week at Marion Westfield (movies, lunch and a wander around their favourite shops). I used to do that with a sleepover the night before. The day time option is definitely less tiring and they are old enough not to want sleepovers the way they used to.
GDSA & Neil, I suspect my movies trip with my nephew’s kids will be Minecraft – I didn’t offer dress-ups!
Anzac, well done on the new contract – excellent that you had a bidding war in the end. Excellent news on the flexible work arrangements – 3 WFH days is a good deal in the fiance industry these days, from what I hear. Commiserations on the super, let’s hope it improved before you retire. I suspect that once Trump’s done his deals and there is more certainty over world trade, the stock market panic will slow and confidence will return.
Time for me to have a late breakfast. I might do a low cal high fibre smoothie. It’s good weather for it.
Take care everyone.
Evening All…
A village walk, it’s been a lovely day.
I did another coat of emulsion it looks much better now. I went out looking for a vase, I found one in a bric a brac shop, a 60 year old German vase, different blue’s, cream, it’s quite nice, I bought a towel from Tesco’s to match.
Sat out for a little while with the boy, walked out and when I came back I did the gloss so it’s all finished now.
Need some new photo frames and a new blind to finish off… utility room next.
I am surprised how tired I am, surely it’s just not age I feel quite fit really.
Going to see Jacqui tomorrow they are back from their holiday.
Dave..
Interesting doing the family tree, as you know I did mine when I retired. Shame on the bowls it happens, I played awful this week too.
Where are you going for your holiday I have forgotten?
Hedgehog..
Nice to have a day out with mum. I must get to the coast this year I am jealous you are so close.
Hemmy, Nana.. what are you up to? Sat in the garden.
Gave a good weekend all..
Jean x
Afternoon!
Dave- will be nice to have new bits for the kitchen, shame about the bowls…Family trees are so interesting, my aunt did one…
Hemmy- well done on your bargain buy! Glad you had a nice day out, enjoy the sun today … You’re doing well with the IF, but that doesn’t sound alot to be eating every day…
Jean- well done with your decorating!
Nana- did you have a nice takeaway yesterday?
We went out to the coast yesterday, the weather was beautiful, nice to have a change of scenery. Resisted all chips, ice cream etc. Popped to see youngest today, his course sounds really tough but he’s enjoying it. Took Mum out this afternoon to a shopping barn place, garden & house things & delis, very expensive but I love window shopping there! Mum’s not been out all week, says she’s too old to be walking about, not got any energy, she told me sister it’s because she’s 88- she isn’t!! She enjoyed it though, will try & get her out to more places but she won’t often come! Food been low today again…
Have a good weekend everyone 🥰
Day 12 – Rural Nebraska, USA – OMAD
We had lovely food at the restaurant last night, and even managed to order little enough that I was under 1100 calories for the meal, and that includes wine; I love when restaurants include calorie counts for their dishes. The restaurant’s most famous dish is Bang Bang Shrimp; is that a dish you’ve all heard of? There are recipes all over the internet for it, and I always wonder if it truly came from Bonefish Grill, the restaurant we were at. Regardless, it’s glorious. We each had a crab cake–also glorious–and split a bowl of corn chowder with lump crab…it was good, no more. My side salad was a shaved brussels sprouts salad and also glorious. I decided not to do OMAD yesterday, but had a tuna sandwich for lunch and worked two hard hours in my perennial bed; it looks far better, and I was glowing in virtuous pride the rest of the day, LOL. Today is horribly windy so I’m staying inside and turning up the music to drown out the wind “sweeping down the plain”! (Recognize the “Oklahoma!” reference?)
Oh, @funshipfreddie, such frustrations. I fully understand how, a-hem, KAK your week has been! That’s probably not a word I’ll add into my daily vocabularly, but it sounds absolutely spot-on to describe the week you’ve had. And Judy Judy is indeed going to have egg on her face, isn’t she? She seems determined to single you out!
@excelsior12309 Yeah, I was gobsmacked that @daffodil2010 actually has thriving tomatoes already, and startled that @ccco also has stuff planted. I won’t be planting anything at our current house since we’re moving in late May, but our frost date isn’t until May 13 anyway, so there’s very little that can safely be planted until then. It’s driving me bats that it’s been almost three weeks since I’ve seen the yard of the house we’re buying; I want to watch the plants come up, and figure out what all is there! And I vote for luxuriant ground cover; that’s a grand approach!
@brightonbelle DH and I used to roll our eyes (privately, but with high humor) at his parents when they started eating their evening meal at 4 or 4:30. And now we like that approach! Thinking back, we’re the same age as when his parents changed to that schedule, so apparently it’s a body thing, that changes as we age? At any rate, I chuckled when I read your words; we got to the restaurant last night at 5pm, which is when all the old people get to restaurants, LOL!
@northgeorgia This is the first you’ve talked about grad school! What a huge decision! What will your degree be? Good luck with getting into this second school you’ve applied to!
Today is the Easter Egg hunt put on at our church. We have approximately 35 or 40 member children, but the Easter Egg hunt has 300-400 children show up from all around, and there are 4,000-5,000 eggs for them! The family who started it still does all the preparation, and they spend many, many, many hours preparing everything. It is so very fun to watch the kids’ excitement!
I’m still waiting for the necessary paperwork to finish tax work; if I don’t get it by Monday, I’ll have to file an extension on Tuesday. I’ll be so very thankful when all this paperwork brouhaha is completed!
Have a grand one, everyone!
Day 12 – USA/GA – NFD
Weigh-in: 238 lbs. Got a couple of pieces of bad news in email yesterday; one is a minor setback regarding budget at work, but I think we can figure it out. The other was a rejection email from grad school. So, I’m working on applying to another college. I just hate that at the doctorate level, these are typically done as cohorts in the U.S., which means waiting 3/4 of a year for a response. This college I am applying to will be more of a six-month wait instead of nine. A little more costly, but not by much — and there is an option to take one class online at a time (although the classes are just 7 weeks in length, so still pretty accelerated). Anyway, just a few slots open per year, but the format really does appeal to me.
@stitchincarol Little steps, and don’t give up, I think is our mantra 🙂 Even when things are blowing up. I’m up half a pound on average over last week, but I’m down a whole pound today over last Saturday. I will continue to moderate my choices on NFDs to make my FDs more effective. There are things that are unlikely, “no thanks, I’m only eating carrots on Easter,” but there a lot more things that can be done, “no, I don’t need that soft drink. Just some water, and maybe I’ll have a piece of fruit later.”
Day 12 UK NFD
Off for a lovely long walk across the South Downs and our reward when we get to Lewes is a lovely Thai meal
Slow and steady is the way @excelsior12309
I knew she was plotting and just biding her time @funshipfreddie – I look forward to further updates 😀
Sorry your night out didn’t live up to expectations- @penz I think it may be an age thing We rarely go out in an evening now I much prefer a late lunch / early evening thing
Have a good day all see you tomorrow
Day 12-No. VA USA-FD800
I have lost a pound so far this month, but the downward trend is verrrry slow, but I know what to do. And it isn’t eating toast for dinner.
@funshipfreddie, we all knew something troubling must have happened to you since we hadn’t heard anything for a while. Technology is so aggravating sometimes. But how nice to have a new Chromebook. Boo-Boo will have to catch some bugs for snacks this month. Also, “homeowner’s associations” as they are known here are the devil! Very snoopy and arbitrary, a real power-trip for some of the board members, it seems.
@ccco, I am impressed that you have planted some vegetables, although I know some like the cool weather. I have mostly been surveying the garden trying to decide which weeds I can label “ground cover” and do nothing about. They are very luxuriant this year!

Day 12 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD
Greetings everyone! I’m back! This has NOT been the best week. It started on Monday when I took my laundry to ‘Fresh’. Even as I was carrying the bag to my car I was thinking it felt lighter than usual. Then when I got there I realised – I hadn’t actually emptied my laundry basket. All I’d done was throw my bedding + a couple of towels into a bag. So virtually all my laundry was still at home 🤦 Things just went downhill from there When I got home, my Chromebook wouldn’t switch on. I’ve got a really cheap laptop too, which I hate, because it’s Windows. I dusted it off, but I couldn’t get that to connect to the wifi. And trying to get either of the gadgets fixed has been a mission, so I ended up just buying a new Chromebook. No more Whiskas for Boo Boo this month 😿
Remember Gate-Gate? Well, Judge Judy, our maintenance/admin manager has now declared… ‘Canopy-Gate’!😱 I got an email from her a couple of days ago, stating – “during a recent survey of cottages & canopy structures, it was noted that a canopy structure was installed on the exterior of your unit…” Well, she calls it a ‘canopy’, I call it an awning. I installed it over 6 months ago! I had to remove the old one. It was rusty & hideous, & it inhibited the opening/closing of my new security gate. According to Judy, I didn’t get permission, it doesn’t conform with the type & style of canopy within the complex, & will therefore need to be removed. I haven’t even bothered to reply. The chairperson of our body corporate (who’s also a line-dancer) complimented me on the awning shortly after I had it installed, so she obviously doesn’t have a problem with it. Also, another cottage at the other end of the village has EXACTLY THE SAME awning as mine! And they installed theirs two years ago. I’m hoping Judge Judy is going to feel very foolish when she finds out 😀
@merryapple – I was just going to congratulate you for your whoosh, drat! 😅
@iona72 – wishing your daughter a full & speedy recovery 🙏
@stitchincarol – I hadn’t realised ‘kak’ is a South African-ism. It’s one of those words you hear a lot! Especially when people are talking about politics, or the general state of the economy, etc. But yes, @merryapple is right. ‘”Kak is a vulgar & slang word in South African English, primarily used to refer to faeces or rubbish”.
@brightonbelle – congrats on another 4 x FD800s!💪
Have a good weekend everyone 🌤🌈
Good morning everyone yet another beautiful day.Got to be careful I don’t eat to much now I have finished with MoreLife.Holidays to look forward to just hope Denise will be ok to go.Might be a good thing that we are not flying.My cousin as started a family WhatsApp group.He is the only family I have now. Been putting old pictures on and some are very interesting. He’s going to start a family tree so that will be good.His wife did her family and traced it back to the 1600s.
Hello friends
Well I am in my 2nd week of the new job and things are slowly sinking in. I can’t wait until I can actually take some work off people and make a difference
I have managed to lose just over a kilo so I think starting the new job has triggered something positive in my brain and I am finding it easier to eat properly
Lovely to hear from you LJ, I am sorry things have been so hectic and tiring
Cinque I hope you are recovering ok from your busy time with your friend and Ms 8
Thin, Gene Hackman was one of my favourite actors too and yes it was tragic to hear the sad way he and his wife and dog all passed away
I hear you G’day, thankyou Mr MAGA, my superannuation has nose-dived, just like everyone else
Quacka you are doing so well, one not-so-good week will absolutely do no damage
Neil, it simply has to be muscle weight. There is no other logical explanation if you feel thinner and your belt is looser
take care all
Day 12 NZ NFD 70.3kg🔺🏃🏼♀️
Up again 👀 but I did have a day of eating high fibre vegetables and fruit so it’s unsurprisingly. I have to hold my course and 🤞I’ll drop again…
@penz and @ccco Thank you!!!!!!! Hem hem… There’s always tomorrow!!
Our downtown is a total mess because at long last they’re digging in a subway… It’s a painful several years for everyone.
@stitchincarol I loved hearing about your Easter outfit!! You’ll be looking v smart!!
@anicecupoftea I am also about to do some serious housework 🙁but agreed, it will feel great when finished!!
Have great weekend everyone!!
Day 12, NFD, Aus
Nice night out for us. The city is extending the tram/light rail network (at vast expense) and the downtown area is a construction zone. I feel for the local businesses and it’s nigh impossible to find a car park, and many old pedestrian routes are now closed off. So we decided to visit a place we’ve not been to before to a. check it out and b. support a local business in these tricky times. I must be getting old because I found it too noisy and the barstools too uncomfortable!! 🙂
Yay for the woosh, @merryapple. I am not at all envious, because you’ve put in the effort and deserve to be rewarded.
Lately, I’ve realised that after years of neglecting my health, working long hours, and spending most of my day sitting, I’m really uncomfortable in my own skin. Every day I struggle with clothes that used to fit perfectly well, and when I tuck in my tops for work, I can feel rolls of skin that weren’t there a few years back. I’ve never tried fasting before, but I’m tired of feeling weighed down. I just want to feel less constricted in my clothes and in my movement.
I work out three to four times a week, but I find myself snacking throughout the day, which is my main problem – sugary snacks. It is a subconscious action of hand to mouth. I’m hoping that fasting might help me become more mindful.
I started my fast at 6 PM today and plan to break it on Sunday, April 13th, at 6 PM. I have already prepared food for the next two days (no processed sugar), with a training schedule planned.
Current weight is 10 stone and 4 lbs.
Wish me well.
Got slaughtered at bowls , played the bloke who I played last year. He’s there best player. He won 16 out of 20 games last year. It’s been very warm today is summer here? Have you all had a nice day?
USA. Day 11. FD
I have been the exact same weight for the last three weeks. I will have to jig my diet up to get moving again.

Iona72, I hope your daughter is alright now. That would be scary.
Merryapple, a whosh! I am jealous!
Daffodil2010, I envy your weather. I planted my vegetables but they haven’t come up yet. I even bought a small home greenhouse to keep the rabbits away but our weather seems to have turned back to winter! 🤨. Anyway, I am sure that you will have some weigh movement soon. I am right there with you, as I seem to have a similar problem myself.
ANiceCupofTea, good luck with your B2B.
Hope everyone is having a nice day!
Day 11 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD, perhaps OMAD – 152.4
Another delightful number, and the first time I’ve hit 152-something since I was headed up and seemed incapable of stopping the rise. That was back when @northgeorgia had our race to hit a certain number first, and neither of us ever did. Months ago, I was hopeful of being at 132 by Easter, and then I was hoping for 140 by Easter. Now I’m doubtful I’ll even hit 149-something by Easter, but I’m so delighted to be going down that I’m content–thrilled, really.
@iona72 Oh, that must have been awful when your daughter had to go to the ER; how is she now?
@merryapple Congrats on the whoosh, and thanks for the reminder; @funshipfreddie has used and explained that before, but I didn’t remember until you explained.
@daffodil2010 I wonder if giving up breakfast is key to your success now, because you would do well with your meals before, but not make the progress you were wanting? Whatever it is, I’m full of joy for you!
@penz Enjoy your date night! Is it a special occasion, or did you simply feel like it?
@anicecupoftea I’m also planning on yard work today since it’ll be lovely weather, and I still don’t have the paperwork I need to finish taxes; it’s entirely possible you’ve already finished your yardwork for the day (it’s 3:15 your time, 9:15 mine), but I’ll still think of you as I work. What are your chores? My list is mostly cleaning up last fall’s dead stuff and the never-ending leaves, raking it out and bagging it up.
I bought a skirt 3 or 4 years ago and have never worn it, first because I didn’t have a top that worked color-wise, and then because I’d gained too much weight and I couldn’t zip it up. Yesterday, I took it in to my favorite clothing store and found a top that matches the blues in it and a 3/4 sleeve sweater to match the cream background of it, so now I have an Easter outfit AND I get to wear this skirt finally. There’s still a little girl in me that thinks I need a new Easter dress every year, LOL!
Have a grand one, everyone!

Day 11, SE England, FD (b2b)
Said I wouldn’t do another b2b week, but here I am – will take your advice onboard @merryapple and plan the nfd’s better / in advance. Determined to be 5lb down by the end of the month but need to do that in a balanced way.
It’s Fri-yay as @daffodil2010 says, cannot wait for the w/e
lots of housework and garden work planned – to start the week all nice and tidy

Hey my name is Jissa and I am a fitness trainer, moreover an expert in diet planning but these days I am distressed by rodents because they spoiled my food when nobody at home kindly suggested to me how i can rid them of rodents?
Week 1: 74 kg ( +1.2 kg)
I have period so I gain because of that. I had 3 fast days but two binge days cuz I was PMSing. I count calories so I am still in deficit this first week aprox 2000 kcal total and that should be at least 250 gram weight loss if 7700 kcal is equal 1 kg lost.
Good morning everyone, another beautiful day today. Just put my sun cream on. I’ll take Chloe out then off to Sainsbury’s for shopping. Bowling this afternoon.I think when I can get some motivation we will decorate the kitchen first, more room in there for the paste table. Them I can buy my new microwave/airfrier combo and a new bread bin and matching tea coffee and sugar tubs. Nobody as sugar in the house so don’t know what will go in it.
Good morning everyone. Xxxx
Its going to be a lovely day again.. 21deg forecast the next two days,
It is going to be just a lazy day for me as yesterday was a long but enjoyable one.
Lovely shop and lunch sitting outside a café watching the world go by. So pleased as I got a “Super Dry ” brand quilted coat just like new.. beautifully fitted lots of detail to good for walking I think. It was £20 and retails at £99 .. plus of course lots of candles. We are not going to be caught out with last years numerous power cuts
Just weighed and weight is stable.. I seem to now be having breakfast at 8am .. then lunch between 2 and 3 nothing after that other than a large cup of milky Ovaltine or Horlicks during early evening. .. Cutting of any water etc after 7pm. I am aiming for 6pm cut off. So its got me back interested in a challenge. lolol
Now up to 2 1/2 pints of water aiming for the recommended 3 for a woman.
That’s my plan anyway lolol see how I do on it.
Nana.. How are you getting on with the aids. Is it an outing day today.
Dave.. Good you have had notification from Trading Standards .. usually companys fear them as they can close people down instantly. Good luck with your games.
HH .. i hope you have a good result on the scales today .. you have had a good week.
Have you any weekend plans?.
Sym.. Oh well done getting your painting going… rest in between in this lovely weather.
Have lovely day everyone. “Friday is a day to finish your goals so you can enjoy your weekend.” Xxxx

Hello all – just checking in. NOT P&RW night for us tonight, as we’re having a rare date night at a bar/restaurant in town. Looking forward to it! Pizza tomorrow night instead…
sorry, no time to catch up on everyone’s news and the weekend is just looking hectic-er!
Day 11 – Ireland 🇮🇪 – NFD
Fri-yay!
Scales stubborn, I did lose that 2oz but still need to push into that next figure in the downward journey. It will be so.
I have done 16:8 all week, getting used now to not having breakfast, as I said before, it’s not a natural state for me, but handling it well.
@iona72 I hope your daughter recovers soon. How awful for you all. Hugs
@merryapple well done on the whoosh. Don’t you just love when that happens ☺️
Spectacular weather in Ireland the past couple of weeks, and the spring growth has been amazing. My tomatoes are really getting bigger every day. Blossom everywhere. Birds singing their little hearts out at 5.30 am as we move into the golden hour at dawn. Wonderful fresh smells in the air. Love this time of year.
Have a great day.
Cinque and Neil yes there was lots of dress ups at the minecraft movie as well as the audience participation which was great, very similar to what occurred at the opening night of Five Nights at Freddys. It was the rudeness of people talking loudly and screaming toddlers throughout the movie that annoyed me.
On track for tomorrow’s weekly weight average to drop another half kg for the week so very happy with the continuing downward trend despite no fasting at all of late. Will fast later next week as we are in Adelaide for a few days early in the week and I time my fasting for when I have used up all the fresh food in the house and before I restock.
Interesting times in America and indeed the world this week and moving forward. So much damage done in such a short period, all based on lies and incorrect facts. Leadership and common sense in the administration has been replaced with complete incompetence and reckless self indulgence. I could go on but I’ll stop there.
Morning coffee time, have a good day everyone
I played really well at bowls, Won 21-14against a good player. It will be even harder tomorrow and all next week. We play all the best teams. Got an email from trading standards, they said they would read all the stuff I sent them then get back to me. I have also enquired about having a reversing camera fitted to my car.

@stitchincarol Time to do something fun then!!
@iona72 That sounds awful for your daughter. Has she lost her balance? I hope she recovers quickly…
@anicecupoftea Great that you are rebalancing with an extra FD. You will get those NFDs under control with practice. I do think planning your days’s food in advance helps with both having a balanced diet with favourite foods. Stress eating ting does dissipate as we get better at managing what we eat… Resolving our individual stressors is a different matter, however… Remember!! We’re all here for you!!

Day 10 NE England CD
Doing ok this week – after the trauma of going to A&E in an ambulance with my daughter on Monday. She has some kind of virus attacking her inner ear and has been quite ill. Quite scary with a toddler to look after when she is over an hours drive away for us. Hopefully the medication hospital prescribed will help soon.
Hoping to get a good number on the scale before Easter! 🐣
Evening!
Jean- well done with your decorating, so impressive doing tiling! Hope your FD goes well…
Dave- hope the bowling was good, nice to be out in this good weather!
Hemmy- have you had a good day out?
Nana- sorry, I forgot to ask about the hearing aids, Jean remembered, how are you getting on?
It was cloudy & cold first thing, so we decided not to go out for the day, I took Xena for a river walk a bit further away, she found a muddy ditch again! We cut down the other big hebe bush in the front, a bit annoyed as hubby said we could get the stumps out, but now decided they’re too big, so it looks a bit messy, I might try a local gardener lad to see if he can do it. Had a normal eating day today…
Day 10, SE England, FD (unplanned)….
Ate too much last night so decided to “undo” it today with a FD that I hadn’t planned on. Need to reign in the NFDs so this doesn’t happen. Not where I want to be and exactly this that stopped me doing 5:2 a few yrs ago. Determined to get it on track, knowing the benefits of FDs are more far reaching than just the weight loss.
Stress contributes to eating all the food, need to look at that also.
IT issues from here – sympathising with you @funshipfreddie – my ctrl key has stopped working so no keyboard shortcuts for me, I’m now operating my laptop like a young person….
It’s nearly Friday….

Day 10 – Rural Nebraska, USA – WFD – 153.8
I’m dumbfounded at my weight this morning, as I ate FAR too much yesterday. So much for yesterday’s weight motivating me to discipline, so that makes me doubly thankful. I’m at a standstill with my tax work (waiting for a corrected W-2 which may not come in time, requiring me to file an extension 😠) and not yet able to move forward with the paperwork our banker needs. And I keep thinking about what work I need to accomplish today in the church office–and then remember that the new office secretary is trained and doing the job now. So I have little to do, even though I have a ton that needs doing, LOL–very, very odd feeling!
So I’m taking my car in for some work; don’t remember what, but DH says I need to. Cars are the one thing I leave entirely to him and don’t understand at all! 😂 It’s quite lovely just driving it and leaving the details alone.

Hope you get your tech sorted soon , missing you @funshipfreddie
I should have worded it better @merry🍎- I used to use the spreadsheet but it’s too small & too much hassle on my phone so I don’t have the app now and I’m happy with it remaining a mystery to me
Pocket List Day 10 🔭
Day 10 – USA/GA – NFD
Weigh-in: 238 lbs. Yesterday’s FD went well — I don’t recall feeling ill at all; I had a salad, a cucumber, and instead of soup, some pasta dish my mom made — it was a few calories more than the soup I planned, but even if I didn’t stay under 500, I stayed under 800. I think I may start training myself to eat smaller portions again on NFDs. It’s odd how bad habits creep in from multiple directions. This has been a rough week with the headaches and nausea, but I think I’m through it or almost through it all.
Good morning everyone,nice sunny day again here. Bowling today so I’ll put some sun cream on now. Just been out with Chloe. Debating whether to have some Weetabix. Might just have a cuppa.
Day 10 country west Australia NFD
Apologie for being AWOL but unexpected and rushed tip to the city where I am staying for a few days with intermittent wifi Internet so will se how I go whilst ‘herding cats’ for the group.
It sounds as though some people re doing quite well with weight loss- Weldon @northgeorgia and Daffodil2010.
@stchincarol, I am glad to hear you are slowly getting on top of your paperwork! Technology (I feel for you @funshipfreddie) and @cccco last beer! is so frustrating when it does not work . 😱
@northgeorgia, sorry to hear about your possible reaction to the injection. I hope yoo feel better soon.💐
@merryapple, as with the others, I feel for you having ants in your ceiling!!
@daffodil2010 the numbers are looking good – well done.👏
Will do a second post later, have to go and meet someone.
Happy day everyone.
Day after FD and feeling a lot better for it. Hope everyone else is doing well.
CalifD, did you like Gene Hackman? He was my favourite actor. What a sad ending for him, his wife and the dog. One of OH’s friends lives in that community. He didn’t know them but he said he’d been told off more than once by Mrs H for incorrect rubbish bin alignment!
Day 10 – Ireland 🇮🇪 – FD
Goid day yesterday, it was an NFD but stuck to 16:8, and it seems to be working. Just 2 ounces this morning from slipping into the next lower number in the lower decade (cannot admit my weight as I used to be 130 and NOWHERE near that now) but it’s motivating to see it tick downwards.
FD today. DH warned. No goodies. Strict FD for me with bone broth veg soup for dinner.
@anicecupoftea…feeling cold is one of the side effects of fasting that I dont like, as I am a cold creature body temp anyway. Not a typical WOCA in that way 😄
@stitchincarol so funny re the reasons you not biking (not of course the injuries ) but the Stay Out Of My Way reason !
Funny! I don’t like to cycle much as I hate when dogs chase the wheels, and that scares me on the open road. I don’t even mind dogs, just not chasing after me barking while I try to cycle away 😆
Have a great day

Day 10, NFD, Aus
Good FD yesterday but no extra weight loss for a few weeks. It’s the NFDs that are to blame! Well I am to blame really.
Congrats on the new weight decade, @daffodil2010. I once dated a motorbike … (the bloke that came with it was no good) – great fun but never had the urge to learn to ride myself. Glad you survived the experience!
I had to laugh about your one chip/fry request @stitchincarol. So glad they were able to fulfil your wish!
Yes, @anicecupoftea – feeling cold on a FD is quite common! Terrible in winter time when I just feel like stodgy winter food to combat it!
Families (both sides) are visiting next week so will be tough to squeeze in a FD. Will have to be very disciplined!
Day 10 NZ FD 70.2kg🔻🏃🏼♀️
At last I am coming down but it is taking lots of discipline and effort and feeling hungry. I’ve had plantar fasciitis from arch supports in a pair of shoes (which are now going to be binned) over the last two days so have been off my feet… I love and mainly wear Church’s shoes particularly because they don’t have arch supports.
@daffodil2010 I’m pleased to hear you weren’t hurt v much when you crashed. I had a a 125 trail bike, then a 350cc Honda plus a ten speed and now e-bike. I’ve had a few close calls but managed to stay upright!!
@anicecupoftea I often feel v cold on FDs… much more so than people around me. I’ll run up and down the steps in our wee Reserve to warm up in winter.
@brightonbelle Great Resolve!! I checked the spreadsheet and all is fine with access. Here’s the address again to try

@northgeorgia I love the sound of your emergency kit!!
@ccco Enjoy your cocktail party. That sounds like a dress up event!! And after golf. You’re living the life!!
@funshipfreddie Are you in a power outage again???
Hope all is well with y’all!!

Evening All..
We walked the river bank the cows in the next village so make the most of it while they are not moving.
I joined Barbara for lunch, nice catch up. I went out in a summer dress and sandals I was absolutely freezing!!!
Decorating has started ..downstairs cloakroom first, so fiddly and tight to get the steps in I have to be careful. Ceiling painted, tiles taken off and wall filled, new tiles on and grouted today. Hopefully walls painted tomorrow, 2 coats will be needed.
Nana..
Lovely to get out on your bike.. hope the hearing aids are settling in…
Dave..
A long time to wait at the hospital nice she can do them herself now. A couple of lovely days ahead.
Hemmy..
Enjoy your day out with Pam tomorrow, hope you can find some bargains. I need a bit of a shop in between decorating!
Hedgehog..
A very long fast I hope you get some good results. Hope to get in the garden for a couple of hours at least.

Been lovely and sunny here again supposed to be even better tomorrow. Will have to dig out the sun cream tomorrow. Jean well done on the decorating I can’t get motivated, no news from trading standards yet.I have got some Weetabix to help the country out, not enough being eaten you know. Chicken teriyaki for tea tomorrow so may have Weetabix in the morning.
