Thanks ….it’s been 9 weeks now and although some improvements it’s still painful and nowhere near full mobility 😩 worst pain is moving during my sleep and first thing in the morning and movements that catch it unexpectedly 😏 It’s hard sometimes to feel like the “ keep your chin up” attitude…...

I may have go soon….🤔

I have got to my almost target weight a few times over the years and had really indulgent foods but still had a self conscious feeling..🤷‍♀️🙄 and like me if you don’t stay in control you can soon end up back where you started 😏 I don’t feel your looked at in the same way though by others only...

Hi @Comet & welcome 🤗

That all sounds a bit complicated 🥴😂👍

Thank you 😊 I think the signature thing with stats is when you get to 50 posts? I’m not sure but think it is …. Have a look at your account details where you put your starting weight/goal weight etc ?

Whoop Whoop! I’ve made it into the 14st bracket 😀 Weighed in this morning with a 1.6 lbs loss 😀 Obviously would have liked more ( who wouldn’t?) But it’ll do! Be back later

Went for a walk this evening, had a couple of other snacks, more coffee ☕️ And have been chilling and watching Saturday night tv (ITV) Also weigh day tomorrow 🤞 don’t think it will be a lot , have had sneak previews during the week 🙄🤷‍♀️😂

Also went on...

Am currently on the Isle of Wight with my daughter and my dad. Took him round lots of shops as he likes to do, he can’t walk far and always hangs on to trollies in the supermarket, when we went in to dunelm we sat him in the wheelchair and wheeled him around 😊 Think I may have to get one for...

Yesterday was another good day food wise although I did want to keep eating and drinking😬 Luckily I had a lot of low calorie snacks! I had the most terrible sore throat yesterday, felt like sandpaper 😬 And as I thought I’ve come down with something! Woke up this morning all snotted up and my...

Hi welcome I personally don’t think low calorie diets are sustainable unless you have extreme willpower and dedication. Try using a tdee calculator to give you an idea of your calorie needs? I need to lose 5 stone also and my calories are 2100 a day, I am roughly using around 1800 of them and...

Cheese and pear tart does sound rather odd 🤔 Cherry chocolate pie sounds good though 😊 It’s hard when menus have random dishes on them what to choose so I suppose you just hope for the best? Wouldn’t worry about calories it’s not every day 👍 Enjoy your walk and day

Another late finish Friday 7.30pm😏 Been a long week! Food was still on track and within calories though so I didn’t crumble 😀 Got another oddbox of fruit and veg last night - need to think what to do with it all🤔 May downgrade to medium one next time rather than a large. So glad it’s the...

Hi, welcome! There is an intermittent fasting forum on here but not sure if it’s active? You could start a diary on there and see if anyone is about to help out? I think people tend to try and help when they’re about on anyone’s journey no matter which plan they tend to follow?

nice SW trifle recipe , thanks :)👍

@French Chic congrats on your losses , completely forgot about the challenges , only recently come back to this forum ....

I have some gammon to cook, usually boil mine , but am thinking of putting it in the slow cooker like I do with beef joints etc which always come out perfectly 😋 Never tried meat in my pressure cooker 🤔 I’ve only used that for potatoes or veggies.

That’s an excellent loss so far, well done!👏 Here’s to 2022 being just as good or better. I want to try and lose 80 lbs by Xmas 2022🤞

Congrats on your daughter’s job🎉 Sounds like you’ve been very busy😅 That’s mad with extra hours for not Much extra pay! That’s why I gave up working a Saturday morning at my place, because by the time tax etc had come off I was only approx £5 better off for 5 hours extra work 😬🤷‍♀️ - lesson...

Well done on your loss so far , it’s obviously working for you 👍 I am also a daily weigher, although I only count the end of the weeks weight . It’s surprising how you eat can affect your weight the following day😊

Good news on the Kitchen 😀🎉 A shiny new kitchen to prepare all your healthy meals, no excuses then! 😉😁

@ChilliQueen , thanks that’s a good idea 👍 It will certainly save me some money in the long run! I sometimes look back at all my card debits from co-op and Tesco etc and think damn!!😬 Anyhow Friday I went over calories, bought 2 Belgian buns and a big bag of Revels 🙄 The buns though I sliced...

Ok… my plan! Thought about it many times before but been too scared to do it!🙄😂 Seeing as I drive an 18 tonne rigid truck delivering and collecting pallets of goods around the New Forest (and beyond on occasion), I tend to either make a packed lunch and don’t eat it .. stopping near shops and...

@ladyfelsham Hi!😀 I really need to sort it this time, I’m not getting any younger 🙄😂 My problem seems to be that I will just keep eating and eating, the full sign doesn’t seem to register atm🙄 Work is worst, I just keep buying lots of food and just keep eating!😬 But I have a plan that I actually...

Hi Suzie 👋 Good luck in your new job! Kitchen sounds a mare but looks like you’ll be sorted soon👍 I need to sort my food issues out , not got an excuse with my kitchen mind lol.. Just need to make an effort again! I used muscle foods in the past , they’re pretty good , might use them again...

Well, I think what I just ate will be last very high calorie meal/food for a long while… Just had mango and coconut chicken breast (Sainsbury’s) with the potatoes dauphinois and then home made rhubarb crumble & custard- delicious 😋

Okay, I really have to do something “again”🙄 The amount of times I have lost and regained the same 5+ stone is unreal…😏 I was just over 11 st approx 2 years ago and this time last year around 12-13 stone… But rather than keep on top of the loss, I just let things slide and am back up to 16st (...

Welcome 😊

Hi, and welcome! I’m approx 4st heavier than I was a year ago🙄 Also no excuses! I’m needing to get back on the wagon too… Probably going to start “another” diary as being just over 16st now I really need to sort it out… What diet as such are you going to do? I am going to do calorie counting...

Glad you managed to get some sleep👍

Hi welcome back😊 I’m doing calorie counting on MFP too although I’m not vegan 😊

Welcome back and good luck on this new journey, I did SW for decades😂 bit am now calorie counting 😊

Sometimes food and drink and tv is our only consolation after bad days and tiredness 😏

Well done on the 2 lb off!👏 Grea that you have a good SW consultant and group😀 Damn on the tooth though😖 Hate it when you get the munchies and just want to eat😬 sleeping it off is prob a good idea 😊 I find that a diet fizzy drink helps with the munchies sometimes 😊

😂 at the duty to support an online business 😂 sounded good though😍 Your marinated chicken dinner sounds lush too 😍

There is a definite difference in the pics ! Well done 👍👏😀

Well done on the big loss 👏👏😀 You found the grenade bars then?!😀

Wow! Sounds like you’ve been very busy!😅

I need some halo top ice cream, no, actually Ben & Jerry’s! But halo top will do 😋😂

Glad I don’t like wine 🍷! 😂 Food sounds good and on track 👍😀

Can’t beat bacon 🥓 and eggs 🍳 😋

:woohoo:well done on the loss!👏:D

Well done on the lb off 👍 :D When we're trying to lose weight we can still fit in our treats and meals ''off'' as such it's all about planning it in and as long as we're more ''on it'' than off we should still be able to reach our goals....it's all about moderation and not depriving...

Haha at the ACV with your consultant 😂 I have some Honegar that my boss gave me - said he swears by it for arthritis - it says take a tablespoon with the same of hot water - twice a day - tried some and it was very sour/sharp and then went sweet🤷‍♀️😂 But I think it was too late for my left knee...

Food and walks look great! Not very interesting walks round here in Southampton! Have to go to the New Forest for some nice walks 😊 I have wild blackberries in my garden still got a tub full in the freezer I picked last year😊 ( must remember to use some in overnight oats maybe 🤔) Got some new...

hi again, don't worry, I just searched and found you can upload a video as 'unlisted' on your youtube channel and share the link so only those who have the link can see it :)

Hi, only 1 minute ?

Well done!!:D👏👏

Questions correct: 7 / 10 You took 92 seconds to complete this quiz. Total score: 608

haha about the TMI and the foreign language😂 Sounds like you got a lot to keep you busy! All makes towards a good week:D

Yep, I don't like to starve myself either , don't know about balanced food , but i try :)

I love peanut butter..... but I use PBfit one now , in powdered form, a lot less calories, and you just mix it with water to the consistency you want :)

Definitely progress if it's managed more often than not 👍 i must be an odd one out....as I don't drink alcohol often , now and again or only if I'm on holiday or a night out.....and when I do I think it goes straight to my head as i'm not used to it , plus I down it like water, and next thing...

🤞for SOTW :D Good luck with the job too!

Hi, How do I upload a video clip from my phone please? Or do I have to put it on a site to host it for a link link YouTube? Thanks

Congrats on the 4 lbs off and half stone award! , well done!:woohoo:

Hi, just stopping by....those courgettes look amazing :D I see your list of goals a couple of posts up....maybe try to incorporate one or 2 at a time until it sort of becomes a habit? rather than trying to conquer them all at once?

Steamed eggs sound good and different? :)

It certainly does! :D

Questions correct: 4 / 10 You took 98 seconds to complete this quiz. Total score: 302 poor score! 😬

Good luck for weigh in ! and a sinful stew sounds good! 😂

@Ravenous I'm doing good thanks, feeling more motivated now i've come back to minimins :)

I weigh myself daily ...and sometimes they're up a bit and sometimes down, but I only count the weekly number, as our bodies do fluctuate quite a lot!

Hi ! Another diary with yummy pics of food:)

well done on your loss, and food looks fab 👍 Well done on the 25 min run too :D

Salmon looks lush! I love Salmon, may get some tomorrow, need to get a bit of shopping.

Lunch with cheese sprinkled on top....that sounds like me! I like to grate cheese on all sorts of meals, my daughter finds it strange me putting grated cheese on super noodles🤷‍♀️ :D

Well done on just the one and freezing the others👍 It IS hard trying to stay positive sometimes...

'That quiche looks amazing! I haven't made one of those in a long time! Used to do them quite often when following Slimming world :)

Good news on the cholesterol level ! 👍 :D ❤ I think food can be addiction........ i sometimes think i have an addiction to chocolate! i could basically live on it! And when i do have some i really have to reel in the self control not to continue to just binge on it 😬

well done on the 2 lbs off! :woohoo:

Don't think many of us liked them much when we did the program! And some of them were actually horrible! but any excuse for one minute of fame!😂

food sounds good, although I haven't tried halloumi , i don't think? Isn't a sort of 'salty' cheese? do you eat it like normal cheese or have to cook it 🤔

Hi, just thought i'd stop by and say Hello :) I'm 54 this year, the years soon fly past.... I've also had a holiday and events cancelled this year , I should have been leaving Benidorm tomorrow after 8 days....and going to download festival on thursday with my daughter for 4 days....oh...

I've not been back here on minimins long, but yes, it's all very well having things sussed and knowing what to do, it's just sticking with it, or getting back to it after any slips ups :) I will be back at work in 2 weeks hopefully after being off work for 4 months having had a knee...

walking past a chip shop is deadly! Oh and the smell of Bacon...fresh bread....I'll stop there before I get hungry again at the thought of the smells! 😂 I tried that Pokemon go years ago when it first became popular....it did frustrate me, especially when I needed to walk in the road to try and...

Hmmmm....strange! Maybe your just consuming and burning the correct amount to maintain then 🤔 🤷‍♀️ I'm sure they'll budge soon though:)🤞

Any goal however small is worth celebrating! 👍 :D Haha, my body has been trying to climatise for decades! The amount of times my weight has gone up and down over the years is unreal😂 My heaviest ''seen'' weight on the scales 17st...and the lowest back in the early 90's ...9st ! the past...

OMG yes! I remember now! 😂 I have no idea what happened to mine!🤷‍♀️😂 I've been on minis since 2013 on and off , and also been dieting for that long too - well more like since i was about 19! over 3 decades😂 Part of my lifestyle now trying to get the weight off and keep it off🙄😂

@ladyfelsham 😂 OK ..NZ then ! ....close though!😂 I've got shelley on FB and @Elanor caz of course..and Essie..and Tracey, and also cheryl ..who was on here but not at the meet, and also some from here I haven't seen in a while on Instagram , claire i think was on my fb or IG ut i don't think is...

Hi, well done on your 6 lb loss! 👍 :D your food looks lovely! Maybe your scales aren't working properly? you should generally see fluctuations at some point over 10 days whether up or down? which scales do you have? or maybe you could check on some other scales or someone elses? And do you wear...

@Strawberry Madness well done on the 'resist', the smell of some foods are way too tempting! :D

Hi, Congrats on the 3 lb and 1st stone gone , well done! :D :woohoo:

Hi, I've just come back to the forum from a long time away and just checking out a few diaries Congrats on your weight loss, that;s amazing! Well done! :D:woohoo:

@thenewnat 4.5 lbs down - fab job 👍😀

@Barb Its always great to have help from others, I’m up for that!😀 I’m doing calorie counting and also “TeamRH” off Facebook as such - it’s £7 a month I think now - but you give your stats and what “steps” you can do a day and if you can do 3 or 6 workouts a week or not and they set your...

@Elanor that day seemed such a long time ago... it was a good day though 😊 shame the others aren’t still around here ... maybe they might appear again somewhen.. I was smaller then too ... never mind😂 got to keep trying 👍

Well done! It’s great leaving another stone bracket behind😀 I’m trying not to go back into the 13’s - it’s borderline 😂

@ladyfelsham Get you! flying business class to Aussie! :D 👍 Sounds a good plan too :D Just had a look at the golden milk - sounds interesting! got the tumeric , just need the other ingredients🙄😂 Oooooh and guess what pics I found?! That Minimins meet up we had in Birmingham !:D @Elanor Can't...

Hi Just stopping by... congrats on your loss so far and your progress pics are fab - well done!👏👏😀

Hi! Just thought I’d stop by to say hello 😊 Another calorie counter - and food pics too 😀

@Elanor glad work was ok 😊 definitely good after being isolated for a while - don’t think we realise how much we miss human contact! I’m hoping to be back at work in 2 weeks - will have had 4 months off work😳

@ladyfelsham Ooh! Off to NZ?! That sounds good!😀 What’s this golden milk - what amounts of each ingredient do you use and is it a hot drink? I have a bag of Tumeric I need to find some use for!😊

Exactly I like adding pics :D thanks

sorted! just attach and click nothing else! 👍 :D

Trying it on my phone now....

aha! ....just ''attach'' image without clicking anything else!:D👍

trying again...without clicking 'thumbnail'

will have a go? 😂

Hi Barb, I've just come back here after some time away too :) well done on the loss 👍 I am also doing calorie counting, starting properly again today

@Strawberry Madness thanks, that's what i did... attach image.. 🤔 @Pierce that's what i did.....and then i click thumbnail, and it didn't seem to do anything when i clicked on it.....then preview ...and it still came out big ?....🤔

Hiya! How do i add a pic to my post in ''thumbnail'' form rather than it taking up half the page?! Tried clicking on thumbnail ...i think...but nothing happens? Thanks Denn

@ladyfelsham I love courgettes! Always buying them but then forget about them 🙄 - your tea sounds good though!😋 Chocolate to finish off ...yum! I actually think there is something wrong with one of my fridges (temperature wise) as my cucumbers keep going mushy and other things freezing😬

Tuna
