LOSE IT! MAY 2021 **Title edited by MNHQ**

[SunshineCake]

@TheRealHousewife has given me the honour of starting our new thread so here we go....

I can't work out how to copy her helpful links over but if you go
to thread you can look them up and also read the thread and get a feel for if this is the place for you.

We are a friendly bunch with lots of support, advice, hand holding and no judgement at all.

I am doing Intermittent Fasting and run several times a week. Others are calorie counting and walking lots. All our welcome. Post as little or as much as you want. I didn't post my weight for months and was still fully welcomed and involved.

@HalfShrunkMoreToGo is our star pupil with spreadsheets but we have all done really well and I am proud of each and everyone of you.

Here's to a good month and let's get going.

Always in the 🐢🐢🐢 gang Sunshine. Oooh fish and chips sounds divine Ionacat think that might be on my menu for lunch out on Sunday.

Thanks sunshine

My parents are out of town so came to their house for a holiday. Aperol spritz opened and bbq on. They live next to a Forrest with tons of paths so gonna give that a try and then sauna afterwards. Aaah. Food will be ready and friends reunion on hbo.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi everyone

Sorry to be missing in action been a bit of a day...

Hope you are having a lovely time @Rewis.

I ran 12km this morning, joined in the last bit of the dog walk then waved off dd who has left home for the summer, took ds2 to my in laws for a few days then a bit of shopping before home for lunch at 2pm, bit of tv then another dog walk.

Hello everyone

Hope you are okay and enjoying the sunshine.

Hey @sunshinecake
Well done for 12k - you are smashing it!!!

Loving the weather, makes me crave fruit and salad which is helpful in this weightloss journey!!

Hope everyone's doing well!!!

Well done everyone! I couldn’t run yesterday morning because I ended up going into work 😊 so I arranged to run this afternoon. Didn’t do the planned route because we were just too bloody hot 🥵 managed 8 miles in blistering heat and have learned that
1: don’t run in the afternoon when it’s hot
2: find a way to keep water cold on the run
3: find a drink that will help put minerals back into the body
So it was a really useful run tbh!

I'm definitely lacking in fruit but eat a lot more salad than I use to. I have got out of the habit of fruit as the kids would eat loads when smaller so it was all for them and then lockdown happened and I couldn't get punnets every day so their intake got less as well. Doing better now we can shop a bit more freely.

Well done @swampytiggaa. Always a positive from running and sometimes extra gains.

I'm struggling with my foot at the moment. Mostly okay when running but later it does feel sore. It is the inner bit of my left foot, near my toes, and today it felt like it was being stabbed with lots of needles. Any clue what it is and what I can do to avoid please? Because of this I haven't decided whether to run or not tomorrow. I did the 12km on Saturday but just 5.3 today as I didn't want to do too much.

Final day of the month and my total loss for May comes to 4.5 kg/ 10 lbs. I had originally set myself the target of losing 5 kg by the end of June, so I’m pretty happy to almost have that in the bag at this point.

Have a good day everyone!

Ah I really love fruit! Probably eat too much of it. I just diced a watermelon/honeydew/cantaloupe/mango and put in a massive bowl with some lime juice and orange zest! Portioned it out for a fruit salad snack to have each day! Yum!!

Well Done for May loss @crazzzycat

I don’t eat fruit at all. Unless it’s in or on a cake or trifle!

Hi all,

A glorious day here- so hot! Hope uou all have good weather wherever you are. Yesterday was fabulous- planned day out with my girlfiends- had my delicious haddock & chips for my treat main, shared starters and a few non-alcoholic beers. It was ALL completely worth it. 6 hours of wonderful chat and madness- oh how I've missed it. I'm lucky I don't drink as the amount the others downed would have been a week's worth of calories . I don't care if I put on this week, it's my first proper blow out since I started this journey in October. As Sunshine always says, it's just food and as long as we enjoy our choices. I do think my attitude to food is finally changing!

Sisters and kids over to garden in a bit- ill be good with lots of iced water and fruit. Happy days all.

Thanks @FearlessFairy! I’m a real fruit lover too. So much so, I’m using about half my garden to grow my own. I’m currently waiting for the first strawberries to ripen. After that there will be raspberries, blueberries and some very sour (but delicious) cherries ☺️

10lbs! Go you @Crazzzycat. Well done. That is amazing.

That all sounds wonderful @Puffalicious! I'm glad you enjoyed your food and company.

Can't work out my monthly loss at the moment but I think around 3lb. My aim was to drop to ten stone something and I did that so I'm happy.

I have spent all morning cleaning DDs room as she left home for the summer and today she has sent a stroppy couple of messages so dh told me to leave it. Feel upset. Embarrassed she thinks she can behave like this and so sad.

Hello Everyone

Firstly a massive Thank You to @SunshineCake who has done a stellar job in taking charge of May’s thread 🙏🌟❤️. I was happy for sunshine to carry on but she kindly invited me back to start the new month, so we agreed to make it a joint effort. (I’m still battling ill health and will post when I can).

Everyone welcome 😊
