I’m a Pear/Apple - Part 5. Still going!!

Saw this today and thought it might be apt for us fruits
I've been gooder
I've been badder
Many times thinner
Many times fatter
There's stuff I remember and stuff I forget but I've always been me
And whatcha see is whatcha get.
😊

SW has a Recipe for pancakes, but I didn’t have any either.
It’s going to be a miracle if I shift anything tomorrow…

NO Whiff didn't have pancakes at all.

Sillymoo glad you lost a pound . Haven't had pancakes for years . I don't have a frying pan . And much prefer Yorkshire pudding. I make 12 in muffin tin and freeze and just reheat for 4 mins . But saying that can't remember last time I made them .

Those ingredients for pancakes are ok if you use fat free yogurt but oats and flour are roughly the same cals and you would probably have to use more yogurt than skimmed milk to make the batter the correct consistency. So in the end more cals than normal pancake mix. Plus you would make more pancakes with normal mix as oats would absorb more liquid .

Did you try making them with those ingredients?

Silverlining main thing is just keep going . Hopefully you will achieve your goal and probably more.

Went to move or lose it yesterday. My instructor said I looked better. Thought I had recovered from my week in hospital in January but still must have looked bad last week . To me I feel and look my usual self and have done for a few weeks . 🤷

Well done sillymoo. I had lost the pound I gained after losing it iyswim. Trying harder from today to say bye bye to another lb and if I do, it will be my first half stone, in 4 weeks. Which for me is amazing. Will report in Thursday evening.

Keep on keeping on silverlining.

Went to WI this morning, a pound off so was quite pleased. It was Free Food February (?) but most people seem to have forgotten. Enjoyed a sample of two different curries people brought in.

The raffle prize was the ingredients for pancakes made with oats, yogurt, eggs. If I make any it will be with lemon and sugar/sweetener.

Feeling less great as I have gained a pound instead of losing one, so I need to take care and get back on track.
Only a pound I know but it’s a slippery slope iyswim.
All sorts keep on keeping on.
Greetings to all pears and apples. Me, I am definitely a pear 🍐

Well done Whiff on your weight loss. I put on so much weight qI felt ashamed to post. However, got on the scales and in the last qqqqfortnight I have lost 4 lbs. this time I am my one day a week when I eat what I want, the other 6 days, I cut out bread, biscuits, puddings and anything with sugar in and must admit I feel better for it. I must lose a total of another 16 lbs and know it might only be a pound a week, I keep thinking I will be there in four months so who knows I might be in a swimsuit so I can go swimming in the summer .

Well done whiff on your loss. Good you booked up for may bank holiday. I like premier inns too, very comfy.

Lost 1 and a half this week.

Looking at weather map will be chilly but sunny, nice it’s getting lighter in the mornings and longer light hours .

Sounds as if you are making some good plans Whiff- and losing too! I like the beds in Premier Inns- really comfy!

Drumroll please... I lost one pound!! After my three week plateau I am so pleased. As Whiff says, we just have to keep going.

Lost about 2.5 inches from my waist too altogether- I'm almost at my target. Slow and steady...

NanKate glad you lost 1lb but the main thing is never giving up . And everyone here isn't a quitter or looking for fast fixes . We know it takes hard work and never giving up.

Silverlining hope you feel great about yourself. Fingers crossed you reach your half stone next week . But we all know we have ups and downs and even when we are being good out body works against us 😱. Bet you have lost inches.

Well lost one and quarter pound this week that's a loss 2 weeks running . Just need to kept it up . Booked my train tickets for my May holiday yesterday and travel assistance. Rooms been booked since October . As I will be staying in Premier inn and booked the meal deal breakfast and 2 course dinner . I normally have a good breakfast and go without lunch or just have something light .

No sit fit tomorrow as instructor's husband having an operation. But having having blood test and going out exploring to a place I haven't been before via the train . My pass covers free local bus and trains . Everyone aged 60 gets one . Saved me a fortune over the years since I moved here.

Move it or lose it Tuesday. Hopefully won't lose my balance this week but at least landed on the chair and not the floor 🤦.

Have a good week fruits 😀

Thankyou. Well done Nan Kate.
Good luck to all of us this week.

Brilliant SL43! Well done!

Well done * silverlining*…..that’s great😀

I lost another 1.5 last night , making total of 5 lbs in 3 weeks.
Ridiculously pleased. Another 2 and it’s half a stone….

Well done Nankate- such a good loser lol!

It’s good to have so many of us posting our ups/downs/staying the same. It’s life.

After staying the same last week I have lost one pound this week. Hurray. 😀

Good luck today @silverlining. I'm off to linedancing this morning to burn a few calories, and it's fun too!

Whiff keep it up, you have done so well.

Well done sillymoo. I hope to do similar n Thursday evening.

Went for WI at Slimming World this morning and lost the 1.5 I'd put on on last Friday's weigh in. 6 above target so 3 outside target range. I only had one small glass of wine over the weekend, that is probably the answer!

I look on staying the same weight for a few weeks as an achievement as it means I am taking in enough cals to keep my body working . But it's as annoying as hell especially if you have been good 😡.

CocoPops hope when you visit you bring good weather with you . Sorry your IBS has been so bad but glad you have found something to help you .

Shirley if I know people can't have certain foods I make things so they can still have a slice of cake or biscuits whichever I make . By making cake for my craft group means I can have a slice and just add it to cal count and not eat the whole cake or batch of biscuits. Plus I like to give .

Been to my move it or lose it class this morning . Lost my balance but luckily landed on the chair and not the floor . But I love going . Sit fit yesterday . Love both classes because do different exercises in each one so exercise not only my body but my mind and use different equipment.

Many years ago with my husband we thought about joining a gym the trainer took one look at the 19st me and said nothing you can use . Mind you my husband would laugh his socks off me loving exercise. But it keeps my limbs working and my mind . And like everyone in each group. And it's only £5 each class.

Having my classes and all of you makes the battle of the bulge fun . 🤸😊

Thanks Nankate- getting back in to my old trousers is one of my aims- I haven't even bothered trying to see if they fit again, it is so de-moralising.

I know exactly what I need to do, and that's cut out the bread and cakes but I've been slipping back into old ways. I have a food delivery order coming tomorrow- so as we say, onwards and downwards lol. I want to be a loser!!

Hi everyone, Lovely to catch up with all your posts.
I had a horrible 3 weeks with an IBS flare up and felt too rotten to stick to healthy eating. However, thanks to a friend who recommended Deglycerated Licorice Tablets (DGL) which have actually worked, I am better and motivated to shift the flab again especially as I plan to visit Blighty in the summer and want to look slimmer.
Bang on 140lbs today. Have a good week Fruits.

That sounds a nice little craft group whiff…and how thoughtful making 2 types of cake, it’s surprising the amount of people who do need to eat gluten free food….wish I lived near, would love a slice of lemon marmalade drizzle 😋….and well done for losing 2lbs.

Nice to have the lighter mornings, I can get my run in nice and early now. Am tracking my calories again, I haven’t been counting them recently, I log them on my fitness pal. Which syncs on another app I use .

Have a good week all.
