Absolutely take that loss!! Hope you’re doing ok!

The site’s ok but your posts are in green and mine used to be in pink - but now they’re both green, so a little confusing! I couldn’t access notifications for a while either.

Both hip and arm are fine thanks. In fact hip is already feeling much better. Been for a deep tissue massage on my arm so I feel like I’ve been in a fight!! But it does help when the massage pain’s gone!

What is everyone up to this weekend? Not much here - been to a local St George celebration thing in a nearby town today. And tomorrow my daughter is doing some activity or other with the club she belongs to, but that’s about it!

Hi PaperMonster. I'm so glad you feel better, has the massage pain worn off yet? I didn't do much this weekend. In fact yesterday was the first day in a long time I didn't have anything to do, and it was bliss!
I forgot about St Georges Day.

I'm back! Annual leave over, have eating really badly and am back to it from today

massage pain’s gone now thanks!

@WreckTangled did you go away? I may have missed this! Back to good eating now!

No, not away. We did some day trips though

@WreckTangled oooh lovely! Did you go to some nice places? I’ve a couple of day trips coming up got my birthday and I don’t know where they are! My birthday was in March but I preferred to have the day trips when the weather was nice! Am hoping one is an RHS garden about an hour away! Not been there since before Covid so it would be nice to go back!

We went to London and the cinema. I had a spa day with a friend and then another trip to London! I spent so much money

Well, you can’t take it with you @WreckTangled !! Would love a spa day right now!! We went and watched Fantastic Beasts over the hols, daughter loved it!

Hello everyone.
This site is doing my head in.
Anyone else notice you cant see all the messages.You have to go page by page.

@WreckTangled Sounds like you had a great time.
@73kittycat73 What a great loss,well done.
@PaperMonster Enjoy your day out.

Got my blood results back everything is fine except im deficent in vitamin D.So she gave me some more tablets.Just what i wanted😆

Ive put on a stone aagh
Really disappointed in myself.
So started my walking and healthy eating again.

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been around, I've been feeling a bit down. I've also been messing up on the diet front! Trying out 1500 cals a day now, only day 3 so we'll see how it goes.
Hi@BorderlineHappy how's the healthy eating and exercise going? I'm glad your blood tests came back OK. Are you going to get any mental health help?
Hi @PaperMonster How are you? You know, I was mad on the Harry Potter books and movies and despite being on TV at least once, I haven't got round the watching Fantastic Beasts, must watch them next time they're on!
Hi @WreckTangled At least you enjoyed your days out though right? Sounds like they were fun.

Hello @73kittycat73 busy busy weekend here! Daughter had her birthday party - not her birthday yet but this was the only weekend we could do it! She’s HP obsessed so lots of HP presents from her friends! And a HP cake!

I don’t seem to be doing so well eating-wise at the moment. Not sure why really. Although I do sometimes think I’ll have something because all the walking will keep my blood sugars low.

Weather’s lovely here currently!

Hope you’re feeling a bit brighter! X

I'm doing really well eating wise, finally. Have managed a whole week now 😂 realised I've put on quite a bit of weight (for me) over the past few years so really need to get that off again. It's so hard though.

This new site is so annoying! I don’t see notifications 😡

anyway, hope we’re all doing ok!

Everything's fine here.
I gave myself a good talking too,and we're in agreement I'm going to get back in to healthy eating and my walking

Hope everyone is doing good.
🌹

Aaaah good, @BorderlineHappy ! I’ve been away this weekend. I’ve eaten all the carbs. I have walked a ridiculous amount as usual. But oh, the carbs. Back to normal tomorrow!

I've been really strict. It's my birthday in a few weeks so I'm trying to keep going until then I also won four boxes of the eat surreal cereal so I'm waiting for that to come...

@WreckTangled oh wow, I hadn’t heard of that cereal! Have you had it before? Is it good? Well done on winning some!

@73kittycat73 hope you’re doing ok xxx

No I haven't. 73kitty has though!

Hello all, hope you’re doing ok and have enjoyed the bank holiday. We’ve been away to Northumberland. The weather was mostly lovely and I now look like a lobster! I have eaten cake and scones. And I have walked a lot but not as much as in a work week. I’m going to make my low carb cheese scones this morning.

We had a jubilee gala here which was much fun. It was lovely to see all the community come together after the past couple of years.

@WreckTangled have you got your cereal? How is it?

@BorderlineHappy how’s the healthy eating and walking coming along?

@73kittycat73 how are you doing? Are you feeling any brighter? Did you put bunting and decorations up for the jubilee?

Ah I'm glad you had a good time @PaperMonster that holiday sounds fab.

I'm back on it,last couple of mornings I've been up and out.Have to say it felt great.
Back healthy eating and I'm sleeping better.
Hope everyone had a lovely jubilee and didn't get too drunk😂

@BorderlineHappy that’s good to hear! Sleeping well makes such a difference too!

Yes I did, it's so tasty! I can't afford to buy it though so pleased I got it for free

How's everyone keeping.
Had my son's confirmation yesterday,was a great day.
Went to an all you can eat Chinese and everyone had their fill.
My GS lived it, especially the chocolate fountain.

Hello @BorderlineHappy doing ok here but actually haven’t been so well for a few days. Had a very rare IBS flare-up and now have a cold. Went kayaking for the first time at weekend though and loved it, although my dodgy arm tired quite quickly!

Hey,

I was on the first of these threads last year when I was newly diagnosed. And after things going well for a few months then went to shit. I’m getting back on track again (but it’s hard!) and thought I’d look and see if the thread was still going.

how is everyone doing?
