Hereโs a new topic page for you @lilymartin
I hope this is what you meant!!
Iโm heading to bed but can set up a sheet tomorrow
Good Morning everyone
Just a quick post as I have 110 boxes of stock to process today!
It’s my Tuesday FD today. I couldn’t fast yesterday so today it is. It’s almost lunch time and I’m feeling pretty good. Keeping super busy always helps me.
Lindsay, you have more shoes than me! I have mine all stored in one of those big cube bookcases. It fits nicely into a wardrobe in one of the spare rooms but the cubes are the wrong size for shoes so they are tripled and quadruple up in each cube. I probably have about 30 pairs but I admit I only wear a few of them. I have somehow accumulated a lot of shoes in my time working in the shoe biz even though I give plenty away. Time for a clean out soon.
G’day, I hope you can sort out the sinus issue. If you do have to stay off dairy and you don’t mind eating soy, make sure you give the Soy fetta a try. I don’t know what brands are out there but I have tried it in a vegan buddha bowl before and it was really good.
Better go, the next truck is due at lunch time and who knows how many cartons (if any) he will have on for me today. Chat soon xx
Cinque you must have been reading my mind as I had a feeling one of us had LJoyces email and I was going to ask, thank you for looking.
Still no change with the sinuses. However happy to report in the last few weeks a downward trend on all the weight management markers I track. Also noticed some snug outfits are not so snug at the moment which is pleasing.
Iโve been very lax on the exercise front since returning from Adelaide as struggling to find the energy. A week of very late nights coupled with a reduction in the number of hours sleep per night during the fringe has sent my body out of whack big time. Iโve been struggling to fall asleep most nights, my brain wonโt stop thinking. Last night, or this morning rather, I was still wide awake at 4am and up at 6.30am so I feel like a zombie today. Itโs been a few weeks now so I think I may have to take a melatonin tablet each night for a few weeks to hopefully kick start my normal sleep pattern back into action.
Daylight savings finishes this weekend and that always plays havoc with my sleep patterns for a few weeks. Iโm looking forward to getting the early sunrises and early sunsets back over the coming months. Hopefully this, along with melatonin for a few weeks will get me back into my normal pattern of 8 hours sleep per night.
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to tell you I tried to find LJoyce’s email address, I had it years ago, but I have lost it with new computers and my own new email I am sorry to say.
Day 31, NFD, Aus
Good FD yesterday. Seem to be back in a better frame of mind for 5:2 which positions me nicely for April.
Thanks for hosting @at!
Hi Lapseu, I have just noticed your post. I do not have T2, am hovering around Pre T2 and have done a bit of research into T2 and how to reverse it. One of a number of sources is Professor Roy Taylor of Newcastle University up in the North East of England. He has developed a liquid food diet that is highly successful in reversing T2.
It is so good that our National Health Service has taken it on board in certain areas of the country.

Hello! Sorry I have missed a few days, been very busy, lots of cooking…have had the boys round on Saturday for Mother’s day, lovely flowers from both of them, they both got the message about no chocolate! Then had Mum round yesterday, we played games she likes & then I did afternoon tea for her. A weekend off keto, back to a long fast today to hopefully undo the damage!
Denise as to go back to see the district nurse on Friday and have her legs bandaged. The bowls was a good game I play a bloke who was older than me, he said he’s just signed up for the team where I play. But as played in the Bolton leagues for a few years. It was a really good game and fortunately I played really well and a good job I did he was very good. Still not been able to get on the green what I will be playing so now it’s open I’ll have a quick practice on it tomorrow.Denise is not going to Spanish lessons or shopping tomorrow. So I’ll take Chloe out then go up there for an hour or so
Afternoon All..
A beautiful day a lovely river bank walk.. no cows our way but out on the other riverbank.. they will be out our way possibly already.
A busy day three lines of washing and dried and some ironing were needed.. bed changed and under blankets were washed. Lounge, washed marks off walls and skirtings done. 8 legs crocheted !!๐
Dave..
Hope all went well at doctorsโฆ and your bowls match was good.
Hemmy..
I had a cheese and tomato omelette with salad.. kept busy so a good fast day.
I am trying to be more healthy and eating better food. Love to walk out this weather, trees going green and birds singing.. no cuckoo as yet.. shorts on soon.

Day 31 – Rural Nebraska, USA – OMAD
Depending on what weight I choose, and whether I choose today’s weight or tomorrow morning’s (once March is actually finished…) I’m either up a pound or down 8 oz. The good news in that is that I didn’t actually gain anything of significance, and given the month this has been (bought a house, had influenza A, lost power for 84 hours because of a blizzard, I’m working on taxes, it’s Lent, I’ve been training the new church secretary…) I’m okay with that. I’d rather be thinner, but I’m working hard on giving myself grace.
I’ll be around in April, even if I’m not as chatty as I’ve typically been; life is simply non-stop these days.
Have a grand one, everyone!
Any more advice ?
Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx
Another beautiful day .. lovely walk then chatting to different ones. I never got lunch again till 2.30 pm.
Back to crispbreads a small piece of cheese and tomato. fruit and nuts
This evening is mushroom omelette .. and salad. fruit. See how it goes with just healthy food today. Plus lots of water.
Dave.. hope all went well for Denise.. also I bet a weight of your mind something being sorted. How wasthe parking everywhere is horrendous so it seems.
How did it go with bowling .
Sym.. Re the tea lights I just have the little holder pots. They don’t get hot at all.
I am hoping cutting the sweet things completely I will have more energy. Weight is ok really.
Better get in the sunshine and get some more natural vitamin D
Mondays thoughts set the tone for your whole week.”
Enjoy your afternoon everyone.. Xxxx

Sorry I missed yesterday! I am getting to the conclusion of my renovations, happily. I have been going from room to room putting everything back in the painted rooms, hanging pictures, refilling cabinets, etc., as the men complete their work in each room and push the furniture back in place. I want to be finished on my end at the same time the workers are finished. At least that is my goal and I seem to be getting there. I put up new valances on my living room windows last night and they are adorable. So far, I am very happy with everything.
In the meantime, back to my DASH plan. I ate too much salt in the last two days. I let my guard down and I gained 2 lbs. The speed with which I gained that tells me that it is water weight. I have become very sensitive to salt, so I have been writing down the calories I eat and the sodium I consume. Even fresh food has salt. Well, so far, I did learn that oatmeal and strawberries have no salt. LOL
Anyway, I immediately got back on track.
I can’t believe March is over already but I got a lot done, especially with my house, which makes me feel wonderful that I don’t have that burden hanging over me! In the meantime, I am very much looking forward to April. For me, April brings a lot of Spring/Summer socializing and a lot of gardening. I already have flowers out. I also removed a tree from my front lawn that I have wanted gone for a long time. I got it back like a bonzai tree but it is a Japanese Maple, which should get huge. It was there when I bought the house. I really wish people would sometimes give more thought to the plants they put in. While they may look nice when they are new, down the road they can be a disaster, like that tree. If it had been allow to grow full size, it would have upended my walkway and destroyed my lawn and I love beautiful lawns. As you all can see, I have been busy inside and outside!! LOL
Anyway, now with the onset of Spring, I will be much more physical and feel that will certainly contribute to more weight loss. Again, loving April (and playing golf with my grandson and daughter), along with playing golf in my ladies’ golf group. We start with a lovely cocktail party next week on Wednesday and the following week a lovely opening day luncheon!
Jaifaim, I understand your sentiments about Mother’s Day, Ours is in May. We never really did much with that, either. We did send Mother’s Day cards to her and my younger sister puts flowers on our parents graves. I put a wreath on their graves for Christmas. I think your mother is smiling at you now because she knows you are missing her and thinking of her. I truly believe that. ๐
Excelsior12309, April will be a good reset.
See you all in April! ๐ค

Checking in with everyone in readiness for April. It will have to be a good re-set month for me. We had a lovely lunch celebrating my husband’s birthday (a few weeks late) at a beautiful restaurant in D.C. But the city was INSANE with cars and tourists, due to the cherry blossoms and the wonderful balmy weather. See everyone next month!
Good morning everyone Denise is at the doctor’s at 11am so hope they sort her out. I’m playing in a bowls match this afternoon then return leg of our friendly match between the 2 teams I play for. We lost the first leg so need to win today by 10 points to be outright winners.Everyone will have had a game after today, done played their first game ever last week. Will drive Denise to doctors and if I can park I’ll go in with her if not I’ll park up somewhere and wait outside.

I had a quick weigh in and despite having quite an indulgent Motherโs Day delighted to be 1lb down for the month , I usually weigh my lowest midday so may even be able to register another lb but Iโm happy with the 1lb , particularly as I had a week in France ๐ฅ๐พthis month
Going to get a few f800s in early this week as off on a trip to see FIL Wed/thurs

Ending Mindful March 0.1 kg heavier than I started it. Not bad. I’ve only averaged about 7000 steps per day though, so there’s plenty of room for improvement next month ๐ถ
It was a hectic weekend here with the annual Iron Man event in our town. They take over the entire seafront, & I’m glad it’s over with for another year. I hope all the mums had a nice Mother’s Day. They only have it May in South Africa
@brightonbelle – Los Simpsons is a good idea. It’s not on Netflix though, unfortunately. There are a few similar animated series, & I could just about follow some of them with Spanish subtitles. But they talk so fast! ๐ตโ๐ซ
@iona72 – good luck with your final weigh-in! ๐ I’m sure we’ll all do better in Awesome April – Easter Eggs & Hot Cross Buns permitting! ๐ฑ ๐๐ฃ

Hello all!
Active and busy weekend. ๐ถ๐ดโโ๏ธ. Lost an hour last night and could have done with keeping itโฆ ๐
Today is Motherโs Day here so lots of lovely messages as I think of my beautiful mum who left us in February. ๐ We never really celebrated the hallmark days – mum and dad never really went in for all of that so it very much is a day like another today for me but I felt her with me earlier though.
Have a lovely day everyone and happy Motherโs Day even if itโs not your โdayโ to celebrate. ๐บ ๐ผ Celebrate them and spend precious time with them when you can.
Final check in for March tomorrow.

Lovely walk this morning..no cows yetโฆ.
I have been for lunch at Jacquiโs, Philipโs mum was there too..very nice too much food, I brought things home to eat tonight really stuffed.
Dave..
Brilliant news 2 stones off and itโs helping your knees too, I do think weight causes lots of problems. Enjoy your lamb dinner my favourite.
Hemmy..
I look at the painting and it looks a big job. I am light grey throughout the house and I do like it, very relaxing.. time to go back to neutrals. Loo, utility and kitchen will be Timeless, I had it a long time ago, itโs white going to the cream side, my kitchen units are a deeper cream. It will be two coats to cover.
I do have a long stick but maybe up the steps..I will let you know!
Itโs so hard on your own to eat sensibly, I must stop biscuits!
Off to eat some trifle and make a cuppaโฆ

The rain has stopped @lilymartin, otherwise I would send it your way. However, rellies in Brisbane report they have more than enough so if you know any Queenslanders, maybe you can appeal to them?
No news my side of the world.
I think it’s worked, I think I’ve lost over 2 stone while I have been going, would have been much more if I hadn’t gone to Benidorm. Since I’ve lost weight my knees feel much better not had any painkillers for around 3 weeks now. No alcohol since the first Tuesday in February.
Afternoon All..
A long riverside walk.. no cows as yet!
Come back to spring cleaning.. loo and utility room done.. I am in kitchen now.
Painting is in my headโฆ sent for roller set and tray, mixed size roller heads. Tony cleared my garage out before Steve passed and he has thrown loads of my things out! Getting together paint etc the next few weeks and I need a few tiles to change my loo sink splash back..
Itโs a big job I am hoping I am up to it.. it will be fine once I startโฆ
Hedgehog..
Lovely to get your garden sorted mine is very sparse, a tree I cut back is very slowly coming back to life.. I only have a few bushes and grass. .. slate down at the front. Itโs quite easy I am not a gardener.
Hemmy..
I am 2 lbs up.. biscuits, wine and 2 Easter eggs.. a week off, although I did a loose fastโฆ๐
It will soon be off for us both.
Do you just use tea lights? Do they get very hot, do they need something under them? Might give it a try..
Dave..
Hope you get the roof sorted soon and the decorating can startโฆ see what gp says to the More Life and if itโs worked for you.

Weigh-in: 241 lbs. Nope. Got to get out of the 240s as quickly as possible and into the 220s. This is madness! I want to leave April looking less like an Easter egg ๐
I think right away, I’ll start avoiding sugary drinks and avoid snacking. Probably need to increase water intake to help continue recovering from the travel.
Day 29 UK NFD
NFD / CD yesterday ? Finding my way again to relax – but not too much , did go out for a few beers but stuck to my limit , which Iโd set earlier in the day so small victory
Peppa Pig in Spanish sounds interesting @funshipfreddie my son whoโs living in Spain says he watches the Simpsons in Spanish to extend his vocabulary
Ahh liquorice @icystorm when I was very young I used to live near Pontefract , where they used to make the โcakesโ actually coin shaped sweets , you could smell them for miles , happy memories
Right , lots to do today must get moving Have a great Saturday all
Good morning everyone the sun is out again, this year is flying by, a quarter of it almost gone already. Must be careful with the bread I’ll have a sandwich later then maybe some more at tea time. Only two rounds tomorrow and then I’ll try and not have any intel after I get weighed on Wednesday.My last weigh-in at MoreLife. They then discharge you and send a letter to my GP saying I’ve completed the course and hopefully fine well. Not had butter beans for a couple of weeks. Saying that I have gone a year without having any. I just fancy them now and again. Get ready for the cows Jean, I can still feel the pain when a cow stood on my foot years ago when I was fishing on a river. The cows then decided to walk through the river to the far side needless to say I didn’t catch much after that.
Day 29 โ South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ โ NFD
I’ve been busy watching Peppa Pig – in Spanish! Surprisingly entertaining, but she’s a bit spiteful with George ๐
@lilymartin – I’m the same with not eating in the mornings. I’m glad I don’t feel hungry then. But as soon as I eat something I’m ravenous.
@icystorm – good idea re the liquorice sticks. I remember having those when I was a kid. Biltong/beef jerky might also work, I think it’s fairly low in calories anyway, & takes a lot of chewing.
Another brunch date to rush off to.
Have a good weekend everyone ๐ค ๐

Woo hoo mayo success – Iโm so happy. Iโve also made a batch of cashew nut cheese and avocado chilli dip, although the dip is actually a Jamie Oliver salad dressing recipe that I adapted many years ago to make it my own. As all 3 contain apple cider vinegar they will all last in the fridge for many weeks.
Day 28 – USA – NFD
Greetings, everyone! The past couple of weeks have been super busy for me, with multiple projects related to my business. I am very ready for March to come to an end. I even have Tuesday, April 1, circled on my calendar! Haha! I hope April is a better month, and I certainly plan to make it so. ๐
This weekend, I plan to mow my lawn, relax, read, and work more on a new song I’m writing (fun hobby, nothing serious).
Since I never drink alcohol, smoke, use any tobacco or vaping products, or take drugs of any kind, and I am sick of sugar-free gum, I broached the subject with ChatGPT regarding something that is safe and harmless to chew on as a diversion to food and eating. Real licorice twigs was mentioned. Lo and behold, they sell those on Amazon! Who knew? Of course, I’ve always known about licorice candy, but I didn’t know about real licorice twigs, so I bought those to try.
Best wishes to all! I hope everyone is having a safe, happy, and healthy journey.
Kind regards,
Joseph

@funshipfreddie, I Had a very good FD yesterday, surprisingly easier than I had anticipated.
If I don’t have anything to eat in the morning, the rest of the day is often usually not too bad.
But that first bite and the leptin/ghrelin get to work and then it is a different story altogether !
I am finally winning the battle with the Fat Fairy though the superglue she has used to secure that spare tyre around my waist needs to be patented. It appears to be stuck fast !!!!
My jeans are getting looser ๐ and I almost need to use a belt but THIS time I will ditch the jeans when they are too loose ( oh happy day !!) and not make the mistake I made last time which was to keep bigger clothes ‘ just in case’….๐ฑ๐ฑ and voila! here I am … again…..
@stitchincarol, busy times ahead. Good luck with your shift. How lovely to have your own space to do with as you choose.
@penz, we could do with some much needed rain. Temps in the mid to high 30Cs here ,still ,and we are about to head in to the second month of autumn. ( Where is the year going ????)
@ccco oh the disruption of having you9r house painted – but the result is so worth it. As you say, at leat it might keep you out of the kitchen !!
@north Georgia, your trip to Uruguay sounds fabulous. A Lot of travelling for you but such an experience!
Yes I am more than happy to host April as I have my 5:2 mojo BAAAAACCCKKKKK !!! It’s taken a while….
Shout out to @at to kindly set up the spreadsheet, please ๐๐for this rather computer inept baby boomer !!๐ฌ
Have a good weekend everyone.
Remember hunger pangs are the feeling of fat cells shrinking . And a growling stomach is the sound of fat cells shrinking….๐ค
Hello everyone,
Ooh so much news, and I am out of coffee!
When I wrote last, electricians were here, and now I have a new range hood, a lovely kitchen light replacing the rickety fluorescent one, light switches that no longer crackle, and a new power box with all safety switches. (But I did find that amusing myself without electricity for 90 minutes was harder than I expected!)
And haha, Thin, you were right to pick me up on my ‘sort of fasting’ really I am working on keeping to my 4 tiny meals which is so hard now I know I don’t get painful consequences if I slip up. And I really need some fast days to balance out the slip ups… but on the way (omg this is embarrassing) I argued to myself that trying to eat properly is almost fasting. (I am very good at fooling myself). Well, I have said it now, I can’t hide.
But I was barracking for you Quacka! And woot! Aren’t you doing well! Yay for the 74’s!
Neil, hooray for your fundraising! I did contribute (Joy).
And hooray that your roller coaster is gradually heading to your healthy weight.
Thin, I can relate to that awful feeling of overeating. I always was a binge eater and it always felt terrible. But there is something different now after my stomach got used to never being very full. And hooray it is a deterrent.
As someone who was overweight and with eating issues all my life, it is fascinating to see the different journey of people who never had an issue and are now getting rounder and rounder. Good luck to your uni friend, I do hope 5:2 suits her.
Congratulations on your big Perth sort out.
Welcome back to your wonderful life on the water. I hope it is a lovely Spring.
Gday, hooray to see you posting, sorry you have to do back up steps each time, but it is so good to have you here.
Lovely to hear about your wonderful time at The Fringe, and hooray for delicious icecream.
Good luck with the non dairy fortnight. It will be a win win, whether you find that ‘no dairy’ gets rid of those symptoms, or you find that you can eat dairy knowing it doesn’t cause those symptoms.
Good luck with the mayo!
Anzac hooray!

I hope you found some great office clothes and get some really lovely people to work with.
Lindsay, I am so sorry that you and Mr Lindsay have had to face the legal drama after the dreadful initial incident. It is so cruel and so bad for your health.
Hold on to that truth, and I know you will be doing everything you can to keep as healthy and balanced as possible. I hope it is over soon and that then you can recover well.
Thank you so much for letting us know what is happening.
I was thinking of you when your island was buffeted by Alfred.
Well I need to go shopping for coffee. Sending best wishes to everyone.

Even though I start the post with the day of the month, I am still surprised that it’s going to be April on Monday! Thanks for stepping up to host @lilymartin.
I’m with you @ccco – definitely not a winter. Unless winter lasted about 2 weeks – that I could handle! The end is in sight for your rennos!
Woke to beautiful soaking rain this morning. Lovely!
Thanks for the trip report @northgeorgia – sounds like you had a wonderful break.
Still no news from roofers. Another week to wait then see what’s next. Back on the bread but not gone mad. 5 days to last weigh-in. Do don’t want to spoil things.

Day 28 – Rural Nebraska, USA – OMAD
I just realized I read posts this morning, but never posted myself–oops! This is such a busy time, as I’m working on editing the Leaguer (I’ve talked about this in the past, if you remember, and am so very happy that it’s my very last one, as our move to our new house takes me away from a location that makes me eligible to serve as editor), working on taxes, working on negotiations with our seller (the furnace is old enough that it needs replacing and she won’t be happy to do that), and all the church and piano lesson stuff I always do. So you’d think that losing weight would be easy because I’m too busy to eat, right? No, I’m NEVER too busy to eat, LOL!
I’m doing OMAD today because DH has been losing weight, and I will NOT allow him to weigh less than I do!!!! โน๏ธ๐คฃ
Have a grand one, everyone!
USA. Day 28. FD
Thank you, Lilymartin, for volunteering to usher us through April. I can’t believe that we are already at the end of March but happy that it is Spring! I am not a Winter person.
Today, the inside of my entire house is being painted. I can’t wait until this is all done. I am told it will be done by Tuesday or Wednesday. Wednesday, I am supposed to be a surprise visitor to my grandson’t class where I will read the class a book. Even my grandson doesn’t know that I will be there. The last time I did this last year, he didn’t seem to recognize me. That surprised me, so later I told him how much I loved doing this and I would love to come back. IO really had to laugh when my 4 year old grandson told me that I had to let someone else have a turn because I already had my turn. LOL. Little children say they the darnedest things!
Well, tonight, with all my furniture moved all over the place, I am not even sure where I will sleep. The painters asked if they could come back tomorrow, Saturday, to work and I said yes. I am at the point that I will do anything to finish this!! Fortunately, painting is the last thing I have to do!!
Anyway, fasting today will be easy. Even my kitchen is filled with things and furniture that doesn’t normally go there, making getting around there and cooking difficult!

Very cold wind here today. I had a sandwich for lunch so back on the bread. I won’t go overboard though. Chloe was glad to get out of the wind, fastest she’s moved for a couple of years. Bangers and mash for tea I’ll peel the spuds in a minute.
