Day 27 🇿🇦 Freedom Day – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD
@merryapple – well done for not losing the plot while you had visitors. That really is steely RESOLVE 💪 It’s so easy to be led astray when your routine gets disrupted. I’m not sure I power walk. I aim to walk briskly, but I think walking any faster than I do would take the pleasure from it. Sometimes I listen to a podcast while I’m walking. I think in 30 minutes I clock + 4000 steps.
@stitchincarol – that’s so interesting that you get rewarded by your insurance co. for reaching 10,000 steps. They don’t give away anything for nothing, which really illustrates how beneficial it must be. Although I’ve read more than once that 7500 steps is the ‘sweet spot’ for getting the most health benefits before they start to taper off.

Have a great weekend y’all! 🌤🌈
Day 27 Auckland NFD 74.9kg
What a stable week😬averaging 74.9kg…
The family have gone home – work and school on Monday – so I’ll be able to get back to my regular routine.
@ccco How inspiring – a NYC wedding!! Do you have a dress or are you going to get something new?!
@stitchincarol The Georgians in the 18C ate lemon posset too! What a delicious sounding menu. Insurance companies are becoming more and more invasive in our lives… Because of natural hazards – flooding, earthquakes and fire mainly our premiums are becoming ridiculously unaffordable…
@northgeorgia Great to hear you are still managing to swerve the soft drinks!! You sound like your decision making is getting stronger 💪💪
@funshipfreddie How many steps is a 30’ power walk? I have no idea about what 10,000 steps means but if it distracts you from eating late💪🤠💪
@jaifaim I laughed at your “it’s all about me” remark!! But you do need to focus on self in order to moderate behaviour. Great to hear your uniform pants are roomy!! I have gone to Levi’s USA 14 32Wx32L now which I’ll stay at I think for a while until I have dispatched more than 5 and up to 10kg. Using your experience as a guide it gets more difficult to loose and maintain the closer you get to 🥇
I’ve just had a call from my friend with Paisley the Scottie. They are having lunch on Ponsonby Rd, the chic clothing and restaurant/cafe strip and are sharing a beef and Stilton pie😛I’m going to charge up my bike and ride over there to meet up post pie…
Steely Resolve!!
Even at this late date😀
Afternoon!
Dave- well done on your 6lbs off!
Jean- hope Charlie is okay, what a worry 🤗
Nana- lovely to look after the little boy, all good fun, I’d enjoy that- occasionally!
Hemmy- not sure if it’s this weekend or last one when Kristy is/ was coming, have a good time!
We had a lovely few days away, the place we stayed in had amazing sea views, which was handy as it was windy, freezing & we had quite a few showers! So a bit of walking done but mainly reading & watching the sea! I felt like we didn’t eat as much as sometimes but my coat is definitely feeling tight! So have done a FD today, will be about 800cals, & hopefully another tomorrow. Have done lots of cleaning today- windows, blinds, kitchen floor, hoovering & cut the grass. Still plenty to do though 😕
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
We lost at bowls but it was expected. They are a very good team. I won my game so happy with that. The sun finally came out while I was bowling.Just having a cuppa then take Chloe out. Having a stew for tea only had a biscuit so far today.
Afternoon everyone,it’s a lovely day today a tad chilly first thing but nice and sunny.
Was a pound up this morning on the scales but hopefully I’ll lose it next week despite going out for lunch with my old workmates tomorrow.
A busy week this week, had fun yesterday afternoon when we got back from our usual Thursday trip to Ely and seeing Auntie. We looked after our next door neighbours 4 and 1/2 year old little boy who’s full of energy but I did get him to sit with me and watch The Jungle Book which was a nice thing to do.
Indian takeaway this evening and it’s my turn to drive.
My eating has been reasonably good this week with two days under 800 calories so hopefully I can manage to do so again next week.
Dave you’re doing really well, interesting about how many calories you need to reduce under tdee to lose weight.
Jean hope Charlies vet visit went well.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Thank you for the article, FUNSHIPFREDDIE. I found a way to read those articles again, even though, for reasons I don’t understand, the Mirror doesn’t want me to. LOL. I try to walk every day! I hope it is helping!
You are right, stitchicarol. I find being busy the best way to keep from eating too much and now that spring has spring, gardening is a wonderful exercise, too!

Day 26 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD – 160.2
Another spot-on WFD; I ate little enough on Wednesday that I was quite hungry at various points yesterday, but I answered each complaint with a bunch of water, and having a day of non-stop things to do certainly helped. Now come the two challenging days…
Wow, but we’re silent this morning! Maybe later in the day?
@jaifaim Love that your work trousers are a bit too loose; proves you’ve been accomplishing what you set out to do! I wonder if, with another couple of months at this weight, you’ll shrink a bit more? Not lose more weight, just shrink? That’s been my experience anyway.
@funshipfreddie Well done on swerving the peanuts, LOL! When I got home from choir practice at about 9pm last night, I was at 8800 steps. All I actually wanted was to crawl into bed, but I get a reward from our insurance company any time my Fitbit tells them I’ve reached 10K steps (my fitbit was actually free using the points from that insurance company, so it’s no small reward). So I sat on the sofa for five minutes and then turned on the British Baking Show and started walking in place, watching to see if, like you, I could get a thousand steps in 7 minutes. It took a bit longer (9 minutes?) but I got to 10K and went to bed feeling quite virtuous, LOL! And, great article on walking; thanks!
@northgeorgia Well done on eliminating soft drinks; that’s no small challenge! Have you looked for Spindrift around you? It’s carbonated water with actual fruit juice, so each can has between 7 and 25 calories, or so. The pineapple tastes wonderful and feels impossible to be so low in calories; the others are not as straightforward yummy, but are lovely with a meal when I’m skipping the wine/beer.
I have a meeting in the morning about 15 minutes south of me, and then I’m getting together with some girlfriends for lunch and laughter at the house of one of them, and that’s 30 minutes west. I’m making lemon posset to take along, and the menu is salad with grilled chicken, french bread, and wine, so not a flat-belly-friendly collection of food, but as long as I am reasonable today, I’ll give myself a pass tomorrow. The real challenge is what to eat, when, and where today. Lunch? Go out to dinner or cook? Who knows, LOL. It’s soon going to be time to get it figured out!
Have a grand one, everyone!
Day 26 – USA/GA – NFD
Weigh-in: 230 lbs. I have a nice outing with some old friends tomorrow evening, so that’s something good to look forward to! Next FD will be on Sunday. Still no soft drinks in I can’t remember how long.
Good morning everyone still cold here but the sun is trying to come out.I was given a number of calories allowed each day it’s called the EER I suppose it’s like our TDEE.My figure is 2965 so she said to lose one pound a week I would have to go 600 calories under that and 1200 if I want to lose two pounds. Do I will give it a go plus I’ll try and slip in a fast day as well. Maybe only one FD as they don’t like you going under 1200 calories in a day.
Day 26 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD 70 kg
Had a classic FD, 560 cals & clocked up 10,300 steps. I still felt hungry after my omelette last night, so I walked on the spot to distract myself. It worked! 🎯 I hope the other Thursday fasters are feeling smug today 😇 I’ve got Wordle smugness too – cracked it in two! 🤓
@stitchincarol – You’re not wrong, the perilous salted peanuts! 😅 I went to buy cat food etc yesterday, & found myself gazing at my favourite peanut brand. But I resisted, & half the wiggle room is back already 💪 Well done on the 161! 🏅

Hi all, bobbed around this week but mostly in maintenance…
Work trousers today just a little too loose… that’s good but helps to realise that this really is the range for me…
I like the way my clothes sit now and they feel good and I think I look good… all about me 😂😂😂
… so the temptation to keep losing will be ignored 😄
Range will be 152 -155 lbs ⚖️
Holiday 🚴♀️ coming up in May so there may be a blip..
@stitchincarol smugness after a NFD is the best I think… they are our tripper uppers!!! 👏
I have to dash… so busy but have a lovely Friday everyone!

Good evening another cold day, when I was bowling it was sunny, windy, raining, hailstone then when my game finished the sun came out. Hopefully it will be dry and warmer tomorrow. Jean hope all goes well at the vets.
Evening All…
Blue skies tonight about time…
I have had a good fast day.. weight is high after my birthday week of eating.
Charlie has had a seizure he is going to the vet’s tomorrow to be checked out and maybe blood tests.. he has had three in 18 months. He is fine at the moment. It’s a worry.
Nana..
The weight goes on as soon as you off the button… I will definitely be high tomorrow… its nice for you to get away, I was wondering if I could… maybe wait for better weather…
Dave..
To loose 6 lbs you really move it when you put your mind to it.. you will be upsetting everyone in your group. 😂
So fed up of this cold weather..
Hedgehog..
Hope you have enjoyed your trip away.
Hemmy..
What are you up too?
Haddock and chips tomorrow .. maybe..

I think that we all feel smugness after a FD that was successful, but more to the point is feeling smugness after an NFD, right? Because this morning, I’m absolutely polishing my halo! 😇 I had significantly more at supper than I’d planned, but that only took me to the 1200 (well, 1264) calories of the CD I’d planned; if I hadn’t still been quite hungry, even after waiting fifteen minutes, but had managed to avoid that extra food, I’d truly have been at 800 for the day. 💪 I can see that the challenge of successful NFDs is going to be to persuade myself I’m not actually hungry enough to eat more, not a small challenge since this girl can EAT! 😂
@funshipfreddie I giggled when you said you didn’t know where the wiggle room went. Umm…salted peanuts??? But. That little jab aside, you do so impressively well keeping your weight right where you want it, and low, so I’m sure your wiggle room will show back up soon.
@jaifaim Your comment about Chinese food made it sound glorious–and made me realize it’s been years (literally) since I’d had Chinese food. Maybe that should be on our list of restaurants to visit on a Friday night!
@brightonbelle I hope whatever has you traveling is going well, and I’ll bet you’re so looking forward to Nice!
We had a bit of rain overnight, and are supposed to get a bit more this morning, but then the kind of storms at midnight that send some people under the bed and again tomorrow afternoon, so our lovely warm and sunny spring days have been hidden by the clouds. It’s always fun to look at clouds and think about the sunshine that’s still above them; I was so surprised as a kid the first time I flew and the plane went up through the clouds and continued on in sun!
It’s a super busy day today with my first Ascension choir practice tonight, and I haven’t even poured my first cup of coffee, so it’s time to get moving.
Have a grand one, everyone!

Day 25 – USA/GA – NFD
Weigh-in: 228 lbs. OK, ok. I don’t usually have all these high calorie bagels, cream cheese, chicken salad, and the like laying around — I bought it all for an event last week, very little was eaten, and I took what was left home where the cost of the food and its availability overcame me. I did better with the cracker assortment I took to an event on Tuesday. I asked someone to please take and share with their classes, and left it all there. I just need to buy a lot less and/or let people take things home. I also do worse when it is all day snacking vs set meals, as was the case on Tuesday.
Where are you all? A really cold day here. Not looking forward to bowling it’s just to cold. Been out with Chloe and can barely feel my hand so cold. I’ll be back as Arnie says.

Hey @merryapple I had the most delicious Chinese meal at our favourite Chinese restaurant last night. I like Chinese food but it’s not my favourite but love this resto – fabulous vegetable dishes (they do meat/seafood also)and as a group we had so many dishes on the table… was just perfect. I didn’t go crazy 👍

@excelsior12309 – nooo?! I could do it, but I find food preparation of any description very tedious; & then there’s the mess it makes. I’m hoping I’m still around when they invent replicators. Y’know those gadgets they have on Star Trek? You just tell it what you want & it instantly synthesises the meal/drink. Kind of like a microwave, but you don’t need to put anything in first! 😃
@northgeorgia – that is a LOT of food?! I’m sure if you totted up the calories you’d be surprised. Maybe you’re compensating for what you’re not eating on your FD’s, subconsciously? Hence the yoyoing & those 5 lb swings 🤔
@merryapple – catch-up mode, me too for the last week. Dunno where the wiggle room went, but it’d be nice to get it back 🎯

Day 24 – Rural Nebraska, USA – CD – 161.0
After that truly hideous weight on Sunday morning, my weight this morning is very reassuring. Also, I’ve been trying to figure out what to wear for my piano students’ recital this Sunday, and pulled a dress out of the closet that I bought twenty years ago for when I was 20lbs lighter and an inch taller. Sadly, it doesn’t fit at ALL the way it did then–but it actually looks decent. (It’s snug around the waist, so all those lumps showing is the issue.) After yesterday’s WF my belly is fairly flat, so I’ve set myself the task of fasting and eating as little as @ccco does–you like being held up as a role model?? 😁–through Sunday. It’s not at all certain that I’ll find that much RESOLVE, but seeing me in that dress in my memory should be at least a little motivational!
@funshipfreddie I do indeed finally have my ducks in a row, thanks. It was a crazy day of phone calls and texting yesterday, in addition to piano lessons, but the hymns and choir pieces are mostly chosen, my choir is in place, and our first rehearsal is even set for tomorrow night. Whew! Now I have to practice like a crazy woman, plus actually write the text notes for each hymn, but that’s doable.
@ccco A wedding and a wedding shower are two great motivators!
@excelsior12309 You don’t miss your alcohol, eh? Impressive! But “do without a bass”? No, not possible…but the ironic news is that I now have FOUR basses, LOL (four sopranos, two altos, two tenors…balance may be an issue! 😂😂😂). And I will certainly simplify my life in what I select to play to go with those hymns (introductions, alternate stanzas, etc.). Thankfully, I’m entirely in control of how tough the music is that I’m tackling.
@brightonbelle In addition to your Kindle, do you have something that keeps your fingers busy? For me, the obvious choice would be my knitting; what about a book of crossword puzzles or Sudoku or etc…would that help you resist nibbling? And taking along a water bottle? (Don’t you love suggestions from the woman who doesn’t seem able to lose weight to the woman who’s at goal weight??? 🤔😂😘)
@northgeorgia I was in awe at all you ate yesterday that you categorized as not much; I’d be up TEN pounds if I’d had that much, LOL! But then, I’m female, you’ve got a man’s metabolism, and I’m, what, fifteen years older? But it reminded me of my Sunday weight when I was the highest that I’ve possibly ever been. And today I’m back down, so you know it can happen.
Well, cleaning lady comes today, so I have some tidying to do and then a hymn fest to work on. I’m not nearly so stressed today as I was yesterday, thankfully, but I’m still eager to finish up with all these “lasts” that I have going on in the countdown to DH’s retirement.

Weigh-in: 230 lbs. I just have to laugh at my body’s “weight panic.” Yes, I had carbs, but nothing crazy. I didn’t have time for lunch, and I ate like a bird at the morning reception. If I take inventory of what all I ate yesterday, it consisted of three eggs, a handful of nuts, a handful of grapes, some cheese, a PB-honey sandwich, a bagel with chicken salad, two tiny pieces of popcorn chicken, five whole wheat crackers, a small glass of lemonade, a handful of pork rinds with hummus, and the only real meal was the evening event with Mexican rice and cheese with two (non-fried) tacos: baked chicken and steak. Hmmm.. there was that dessert they made though that consisted of two cookies and a bit of cream cheese frosting. I’m not used to the multiple eating events during a day, so I think that confused my brain and led me to munch a bit more and pick up more carbs than normal.
Anyway, doesn’t seem too caloric-dense, so I suppose a lot of it is water weight gain. Up five pounds in a day? Yeah… likely so, LOL
Anyway, I’ll do a FD500 today.

We are trundling along toward the end of Amazing April. “One day at a time” as we say. @ccco, I find that mostly avoiding alcohol has been a plus for me in losing some weight. I think besides the calories, the alcohol makes me feel more careless about what I eat, and things fall apart at the end of the day.
I can’t say I miss it, either.
@northgeorgia, good for you!
@merryapple, bacon and egg pie sounds sooo good. I would eat a lot of that. You must explain what chickies and bees is (are?) I understand the Christmas cake (mmm)
@stitchincarol, your life sounds hectic at present. I don’t envy you, but I advise you to simplify as best you can, and do without a bass….
@funshipfreddie, smash up the avocado in a bowl, put in a bit of lime juice and some hot sauce, or perhaps some minced spicy pepper, some salt, and you have some guacamole. You can do it!
@brightonbelle, where is your holiday going to be?
Down we go, everyone!
Good morning,well I lost 21-8 at bowls on Monday and won 21-8 last night, so that evens it out. See how I do Thursday and Friday. Part 2 of the weight loss meetings today, see if I can get there without getting lost again😲🤣. I’m hoping I’ve lost some weight this week, I’ve been pretty good and had no food after 10pm.

@merryapple – I love guacamole. I’ve never made it – it’s cheaper to buy it ready-made than to buy all the ingredients. I bought a ready-to-eat avo yesterday, for the first time in ages, & couldn’t believe how expensive they are now?!

Hi there. I started 5 2 back in like 2016 and a family crisis caused me to stop for a few years. That finally improved and life resumed to normal. Then the pandemic hit. I saw a pic of myself during pandemic and realized I basically put it all back on over time. Got back on 5 2 and lost 40 pounds! I’ve kept it off over 3 years with 5 2 maintenance. Now enter perimenopause. Weight slowly started to creep back up despite my increased physical activity. I stick to the plan on the fasting days (2 in a row, easier for me) and do mostly whatever I want on the other days (I know I could cut that back). This is how I lost the weight. Now it doesn’t seem to work. I’m also looking to see if anyone has any suggestions to get through this. I think it is related to hormone changes etc.

Just before I went to bed, I realized that my Ascension Hymn Fest is in two weeks and two days. Sixteen Days. How have I gotten so close without realizing it’s so close??? I’ve done virtually nothing to prepare for it, the choir has no music (since I’ve not chosen anything! and neither have I found another bass yet), and although I was able to go to sleep and stay that way, I was awake shortly after 5 and never really went back to sleep. So, it’s 6:45am, I’m up and dressed, and headed over to my music at church so I can get this thing set up. Or perhaps cancel it. Not sure what’s best, but it’s time to do something.

Dropping Denise off at the park so I take Chloe round it while I’m there, avoiding other dogs sometimes hiding from them. Not sure if we’re going on holiday this year waiting to see if Denise can get her knee done.
Day 23 🏴 St George’s Day – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD
I’m thinking of hanging a sign on my door – ‘Do Not Feed the Occupant’ – after a neighbour gave me an enormous avocado yesterday which ‘needs eating asap’. I thought it would be a pity to eat it ‘as is’ so I broke my rule about never buying bread & bought some cheese rolls to go with it 😋
@stitchincarol – I remember eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches as a kid when I lived in Canada for a while. For some reason, despite being a salted peanut junkie, I never even think of buying peanut butter.
@ccco – maybe that’s a positive?! Give it a shot 🚫🍷Your brain & body will thank you for it. Ditto what @jaifaim said. 570 days for me, & roughly half a million empty calories dodged 🎯

Day 23 – Ireland – NFD 🚫 ✅ 🚶🏽♀️ 🌾.
Hi all, I hope everyone is well.
Just a quick note from me today…
@funshipfreddie thanks for sorting the list again..🌟
@stitchincarol as you would say… are you tracking what you are taking in on the NFDs? There is no doubt that any bread, sweet treats etc derail my efforts – but also you have a busy time right now and you know you can do it when the time is right for you. 💕
@coco – Alcohol is just the devil 👿 for me. I don’t miss it thankfully.

Evening everyone, a lovely time away last week with lots of walking involved but also eating and drinking. Weighed myself Saturday morning and had gained 2lbs. We both forgot that we’d been invited to a neighbours BBQ Saturday afternoon until another neighbour mentioned it and they reminded us we were looking after their dog that evening.
Yesterday we met up for lunch with friends who moved up to North Yorkshire around 10 years ago as they’d come down to visit old haunts – our Newmarket friends also came so a busy weekend of eating and drinking.
Have managed to only have 750 calories today but its been really hard.
Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone.

Down another pound this morning. It looks like it is clear to me that I can’t drink any wine, if I want to lose weight! :(.
Anyway!

Good afternoon got murdered at bowls me and the team. And it rained while I was playing just for a change. Off to speedway tonight weather permitting. We play hh’s team Ipswich witches. The FA cup is against United again so I’ll be a nervous wreck.Denise says it’s only a game 😁.Fast day today and tomorrow.
Day 22 – Rural Nebraska, USA – CD
I was horrified and speechless when I got on the scale on Sunday morning, after having a wonderfully behaved Saturday–166.8. 😱 I supposed it was perhaps that the beans I’d made for supper are just that carb-and calorie-heavy and reflects terrible menu planning on my part, but still! This morning is only a pound down from that, so I’m definitely headed in the wrong direction. Thankfully, my two WFDs each week keep the damage from being too awful. I’m currently in another frantic challenge to accomplish a bunch of things–you know what they say about people who volunteer being far busier than the fully employed, LOL. So I’m cutting myself some slack food-wise, but will continue to keep as much focus on good eating behavior as I have time for. May will be consumed with projects, and June may also be, but July is looking good and like summer ought to look…I hope!
@funshipfreddie I chuckled at your jelly question. I’ve been watching The Great British Baking Show and learned there that Brits call Jello “jelly,” but in the States jelly and jam are mostly synonymous. Technically, jelly is jam without seeds…but I’ve see jam with seeds also called jelly. So, here, “jelly” is the fruit stuff you spread on your toast or combine with peanut butter for a sandwich. 😁🤣
Okay, that’s all I’m going to chat this morning as I have things pressing down on me to accomplish. Have a grand one, everyone!
