On 08 May 2018 I started this thread for those who wanted to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle.

We now have a small band of ‘regulars’ called Pears and Apples. I am so grateful to those who have stayed loyal and contributed a lot of useful information and given support, especially Whiff 👍

Do join us, the rules are simple.

Choose your own style of diet plan.

Check in regularly with a report of the highs and lows of the diet.

Have an occasional binge but get back on the wagon ASAP.

Pass on any useful diet tips.

You have nothing to lose on this thread, other than weight.

Our mantra is - EAT LESS FOR LIFE.

NanKate love Frida Khalo's work. Did you ever see the film about her it was on TV many moons ago ? Glad you had a lovely extended birthday.

Shirley well done lossing the 1 and half pounds. I lost 2 lbs this week. Funny enough since I stopped having lunch don't feel hungry during the day. Shows just having my soup was just habit not hunger. Still have my porridge for breakfast and stew for dinner which I add extra veg and either bulgar wheat,rice or pasta to it . To make up my calories.

Choir started again learning Eleanor Rigby, We built this city, Elastic heart and love story . Have new choir director who I had meet before at a fund raiser for grief counselling for children. She was brilliant.

I really don't know where my days go . Wake every morning at 5 to start taking my tablets next thing I know its bedtime .

Charity I support took my tumble dryer as in 7 years only used it handful of times plus other things. My daughter did 2 tip runs for me . Had already started clearing out my garage just need to finish it ready for when my daughter has time to take me to Care co to get a mobility scooter. Its so I can go to Aldi and go over Rimrose valley. And no doubt go other places . But will still use buses and local trains . Its just I can't walk as far as I did since January last year. When on hol I go to places I want to see but have rests in between.

CocoPops hope the steroid is helping you .

Hope everyone else is well .Don't forget flu and covid jab season . I get flu free but paying £85 for covid one .

Take care everyone one .
