Scales are hopeless imho , as for fluid retention, l have known me gain half a stone before my period Hmm thank God l am post menopausal now Grin
Been fine today food wise , been busy again so am thankful for that because it keeps me on the straight and narrow Grin
Never heard of 'terra nova life supplement Happier and l don't think l will get any by your description shudder! Grin

Not2bObvious · 06/10/2020 20:21

Down to my last 24 calories😩 Definitely need to eat more during the day, ending up too hungry by the evening & only want junk. But sure, you live & learn. Around 14,500 steps - I'll leave it there, had 16,000 yesterday so it averages out fine. Getting my hair done tomorrow between a million other jobs. In the old world I'd try time a night out with my hair done, I'll have to go with a simpler pleasure & get a takeaway coffee & cake as a treat

Doms. I'm between 18-19 00 a day and doing ok. Still too much junk

Not2bObvious · 07/10/2020 07:30

As expected after a low, up .6 - no big deal. I ate a lot of junk last night myself, I've really got to learn to feed hunger with decent food, and leave maybe 300-350 for junk. Eating a tiny dinner in order to have room for chocolate isn't right, at least not every bloody day. I reckon it catches up and causes binges.

Not l used to do SW and they do allow for treats as you already know l am sure . Hoping to weigh today l try not to weigh too 🤗 often it fluctuates so much and puts me off have a great day everyone 😀

Happierwithouthim · 07/10/2020 08:44

mrsmadevans its all those supergreens in powdered form, the new you shakes do mask the flavour, my own protein powder doesn't.

life what was name of team rh's fav protein powder? Natural Nutrients? Maybe I should try that again.

Got to 9263 on Monday, 7551 yesterday(walk was with dc and a neighbour her dc and their 3 dogs and our 1 so not very fast paced!) so far I'm at 1407 so my rushing around gives me about 1-2k steps most mornings.

I always try to match getting my hair done with a night out too Hmm
Did you see Tommy Bowe's programme last night, the new normal?

I'm weighing in at 173.5 which was what I started last week at. Been that weight mon/tues/wed this week.

Going to ring GP today to see about another antibiotic or chest xray or whatever.

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/10/2020 09:19

Yes natural nutrients but the do their own now.

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/10/2020 09:20

Take it easy happier if you are still I'll
I hear ya not. I fill the gap with junk as I just don't think about the healthy options and don't fancy them

Mrsmadevans · 07/10/2020 09:51

AHH thank you Happier l understand now lol think, is it like a super food boost 😀

Happierwithouthim · 07/10/2020 10:01

I think it's a supplement for vegans
Have appt with dr today

Not2bObvious · 07/10/2020 10:02

You might only like their own brand happier if you're under their spell! The followers are practically foaming at the mouth with the praise, having a coffee? Throw a scoop in, baking a cake, throw a scoop in, having a bath? Throw a scoop, oh wait😂

Happierwithouthim · 07/10/2020 10:30

Well someone on this thread doesn't rate it, and I liked natural nutrients before so I'll probably stick to what I know! The one I'm using currently was my sister's that she didn't like, I'm using it up because it's there!

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/10/2020 11:34

Not Grin
It's a bit much, I'm clearly not under the spell

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/10/2020 11:35

Message me you address and I will send you a sample of the vanilla

Not2bObvious · 07/10/2020 11:39

I'm suffering from Rh'fatigue, probably need to stop watching walkie talkies. They've moved the one I watch into the private group, which I still have access to - the cynic in me is Hmm

OP posts:
Happierwithouthim · 07/10/2020 12:14

I feel like a total moan/fraud when others here have chronic pain and are still managing steps and calories!!

Happierwithouthim · 07/10/2020 12:14

Life definitely no need for that I trust your opinion!

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/10/2020 14:21

Oh I know you do. Just thought you might want to try it anyway. .
Not a fraud.

Happierwithouthim · 07/10/2020 14:42

So turns out my last antibiotic dose could also be given to a child Hmm

Antibiotic & inhaler now and warning pill might not be effective WinkGrin

ememem84 · 07/10/2020 16:31

5546 steps today. I’ve just been for a run. Am now sitting on the couch drinking my post run water and green tea and eating a small bowl of crisps

Mrsmadevans · 07/10/2020 16:52

Excellenrk all round 😃
Am ok again today thankfully 😊
Weighed but scales up the bung , weighing me three different weights and don't get me started on whether to use kgs or lbs or stones & lbs 🙄
I can't say my weight l would be embarrassed but the scales had me at 2 kgs difference in 2 weighings , 3 lbs different in 2 weighings and l gave up 😅
I don't think l will start on that vegan supplement it doesn't sound very nice tbh. 😅

Not2bObvious · 07/10/2020 17:41

I feel like I'm dealing in coded messages😂
life were you saying the person I watch is a fraud? Ooh the intrigue - or you could have been saying something else entirely
mrs, there's absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about and no need at all to share anything you're not comfortable with. Your scales sounds buggered, maybe measurements or a target garment might be a better gauge? I don't think you're a scales loon like the rest of us nutters😬

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 07/10/2020 19:09

Haha not no I was saying something else. The person you watch is probably lovely
I was saying it in relation to happier feeling a fraud

Not2bObvious · 07/10/2020 19:13

That makes more sense but makes for no gossip😂
Ate a fair amount of actual food and felt better for it, around 400 of junk - should have been 350 but snaffled a bit of chocolate unthinkingly. 50 cals left, kitchen closed

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 07/10/2020 19:25

Ohhh Not that is a great idea Smile
I have a lovely Christmas dress l would love to get in again , l will fish it out and try it on Smile
I think you are right , I don't think scale watching suits me, probably because my scales is buggered like you said Not Grin Grin
