New thread

Ooh mrs or should I say ladyC 😁
I am not a fan of this new format at all. Heading back to England tonight, have work on Friday. Cals haven’t been too bad considering but scales I fear have gone up. Will weigh properly after a couple of days at home!

I mean the new format of the website btw not your new name! 😂

Not thank you so much for having faith in me 🤗
I hope my new Nik is working 😊

Nor me Gen it is going to take me a while to get myself au fait with this

Im not over keen on the re platform.

holiday carbs are not good for my round tum though and windyness

I'm on the app so I don't notice anything different? Except for having to log in/out to post yesterday.
Another quick scales check & holiday gain now at 4.4 - only 3 days back on track so it's fair enough.

I know Life l don't like it at all 🙄 nor the wind ☺️
Not excellent work well done 👍
Am ok ish today been busy had to take Mum to Gp so didn't get home till late ☺️

She's fine btw , just got an ulcer and needed antibiotics and dressings so has to elbow my way in there today 😁
Put it this way we were staying put until they saw her. l didn't give a shit excuse my French 😂

I think your french needs no polishing mrs, things like that at her age can turn incredibly nasty very quickly - at any age not pleasant. Good for you!
Am a bit wrecked again today, scraped 10,000 steps at least. Under cals for now, want wine & crisps, will have neither until Saturday

Happy Friday!
I've had an idea to reframe my holiday gain as the result of a diet break to reset after dieting from Christmas (I said dieting, not successful dieting hehe) So rather than fall into the negativity of pre/post holiday weight, my new start date was last Friday. And since that's the case, I'm down 1.8 from then.
5 weeks to my next "diet break"😬

Thank you Not re MUm hopefully she will soon be on the mend
In the meantime l think you regrouping , sts is a great idea so much better to thinkof it like that!

Thanks mrs, I spent most the year so far trying to get back to pre-Christmas weight, and that did me no favours. Over cals but no booze, I will have a little tomorrow night with friends but plan is definitely to keep it to a minimum for the next 5 weeks.

MIL has been diagnosed with cancer - they aren’t sure how severe it is yet but they’ve said her blood work is indicative of a grave illness. DH is in total denial, saying she feels fine and isn’t in pain so they’ve made a mistake. She has a scan next week on the 2 week pathway.
Have definitely had more wine and gin than planned! Out tonight with DH oldest friend and his wife, they can’t come to our wedding party and blessing sadly (especially as the husband would have been DH best man) but it will be nice to see them, might cheer DH up.
hoping to make good choices and stay within maintenance cals at least. I was a bit under cals yesterday as I skipped breakfast.

That’s not great news gen but hope the night out is good.
last day away today and travelling overnight so asod Monday

I'm sorry to hear that gen, the shock has probably thrown your DH into denial. It's good that she does feel fine, it's not always a disease that shows itself in pain at points. I hope the night out went well.
I've friends over tonight and I've already wakened tired😩 Or maybe it's just learned laziness! Lots to do today, thinking of how I can fit in some steps. Only managed 2 x weights, not sure if I should/could squeeze in one more 🤔

Safe travels life, I'd give the SOD a wide berth for 72 hours after flying to let any bloat subside - I've yet to see a nice weigh in after flying

Hi all
I like the diet break idea.

I'm starting out again at 90kg, got a bit of tough love from my coach but due to UTI I couldn't exercise really this week. I'm doing reasonably well food wise

Hi happier, ouch about the uti but once you have the food sorted thats most of the battle. That's the way with life, our ability to exercise can depend on so many factors, food is (usually!) possible to manage consistently. Nothing wrong with appropriate tough love delivered the right way, not our old group mentality for sure. I rejoined PN but not really getting involved, I don't feel comfortable sharing on FB - I share too much as is here!
Managed a 30 min bodypump and 2 x shopping walks, around 6,000 steps - will need to bump that up a bit over the day. Wrecked

We are back. Driving home and no
sleep on the plane. Reset Monday

4 hours sleep.

A tad delicate, more sleep than life but not a lot! Great night with friends, tonnes of chat & laughs.
Hope it was a brilliant holiday life, take it easy today.

It was lovely to be away yes. Much needed . Restart day tomorrow. Estimate 140

I'm smothered as happens every year after weeks battling with my throat

Had breakfast out with dd while ds was at a birthday party, on plan
Lunch out with both dc on plan & snack so far was a 99 cal bar from Iceland lemon & white choc flavour quite good & a lucozade zero tropical flavour

I'm going for a nap now while they watch tv, just did a sinus rinse TMI sorry and took makeup off my face

Not you don't share too much or else we all do, I hate that about coaching groups

You're doing really good happier, especially considering you're poorly, feel better soon.
With the weight-loss coaching thing, I feel I pretty much know what to do, just need to keep doing it. I've been tempted to try other more expensive programs but honestly what I need most is patience. More days on proper calorie deficit will see me rights over time. I'm feel soo tired, self induced but that's me cured of wanting a drink, on the dry I go!

I absolutely don’t think you over share not
hope the throat is getting there happier
agreed PN is lovely but I too just need to JFDI it
