If I hadn't worn those platform shoes back in the 1960's and 70's my feet and knees wouldn't be in the state they are in today.

After a mad hectic day yesterday... my knees are still protesting:p I'm having a quiet day, maybe make a cake for my husband, and generally tidying up

Why can some people eat lie horses and stay slim and I can't?

I'm dressed and it's not 8am yet! Trousers, fleece top, trainers (running shoes I believe they are called in the US) We have the tail end of the hurricane due to hit us and I'm just making sure we have tethered everything in the garden too big or heavy to move under cover.

Ahhh C section. I had one 36 years ago. Still remember it! I think you are very wise, just taking it a pound at a time. Setting a goal of a huge amount is very daunting isn't it? My mantra is 'All things in moderation and moderation in all things' or, to paraphrase: 'A little of what you fancy...

I'm very new too but feel that I've been here years. People are so welcoming and full of helpful advice. I know what you mean I have friends who can eat whatever they want and stay as slim as a pencil. I only have to look at a cream cake and it sticks straight on my hips. I got a lot of tips and...

The problem with autism is, that they look OK. Our daughter was beautiful with a figure to die for, but deeply autistic. One day we were coming home from a walk (she loved walking) and she was a little ahead of me and holding my husband's hand. I heard someone say... 'Look at that! he's old...

Hello You've cerainly come to the right place. I've had a good deal of support on here. I got a lot of tips from reading diaries

Thanks Tink, I did and it was delicious. Yes, we had a good time. Our daughter died in 2010 aged 32. She was autistic and epileptic and we had been her carers for all those years. The auction was to raise funds to research sudden death in epilepsy.We got a German lava vase dirt cheap, but lost...

This evening we have to go to a charity antiques auction. There will be a Buffet and bar. That's better than a sit down 'do' isn't it? I shall have a shake before I go, so that I don't get there feeling a could eat a horse between two bread vans. I'll have a healthy pick at the buffet... bit of...

Getting to grips with framing a tapestry I have made as a Christmas present for an old friend. Memo to self Shut the windows before you start swearing when things go wrong with the framing

Hiya! I have a husband and a dog and I swear the dog understands what I'm saying better than my husband.... 'Would you get a pack of Clover margarine from the shop please?' And he comes back with a tub of dried parsley:rotflmao:

Hello Zippy. You've come to the right place. I have picked up so many tips and motivation from just reading other people posts. The best of luck to you. Have you started a diary?

Sort of. I'm retired but have had a lazy day after 2 really hectic ones. My knees have said ENOUGH! Tpbm Loves buying shoes

Hiya! I can genuinely say that I know what it is like. My daughter had Autism (very deep) and epilepsy. We were her carers for 32 years. It's not easy I know. Of course you haven't failed! You fell of the wagon that's what makes us human, you got back on, that's what makes us special. Those...

Although we now have a lab we always used to have Russells. Great little dogs. Our last one, a rescue dog, taught himself to pick up when our daughter was going to have an epileptic seizure and get her to a safe spot. remarkable little dog

My aunt always had Staffies and they are wonderful with children. Great little dogs and I have no idea why people think they are 'dangerous' It's the owners who are the trouble.

Oh Mandy love. I wish I was nearer to you. 6 & 3 I remember those years although they were over 30 years ago. You seem to be permanently on the go don't you? Never able to catch up. I'm a yo yo dieter too and have been all my adult life. I'm half way through week 1 of 'Shake that Weight' and...

Don't you just hate it when spring comes around and what fitted last year, is a bit snug this year? I've had a lot of support just reading other posts and realizing that I am not alone. I'm very new here too and I've set a goal of 20lbs off by Christmas. Not sure if I'll do it, but we can only...

Good luck, I have got a great deal of info and support just by reading other people's posts. It's great to read that someone else is /has having/had the same problems as you and hos they overcame them

Two stones...! Respect:wow:I'm new too and have found a lot of help and advice just by reading other folk's posts. Don't you just hate it when the scales grind to a halt. I was advised, when this happens, to check your measurements because often the weight loss shudders to a halt when you are...

Good luck. I'm a serial yo yo dieter so know what its like to lose then gain it all back and some on top.

Hello and welcome. I'm new too. See you around the forum

Oh Lou! I remember night duty. We did 3 months of it a year 9pm to 7.30am. 8 nights on, 4 off in 1969. It was a killer. A new senior sister came along and changed it to 6 on 4 off which was like heaven. Enjoy your days off love you've earned them Ps. Hey MIN You will be proud of me... I'm...

Thanks for the reply loopy. I was beginning to think I was invisible. And thanks for the info. Today is a busy day for hubby and me, but I am determined to stick to this. I too lost shed loads on Cambridge (blinking expensive wasn't it?) and put it all back on. I'm determined this isn't going...

This week I'm looking at as 'sea trials'. Identifying and ironing out any problems. I was quite hungry last night so made up a chocolate shake with hot, but not boiling, water and had it in bed as a drinking chocolate and slept all night

I am in my mid 60's and a veteran yo yo dieter. I start a diet, fall off the wagon, gain weight, go back on a diet etc etc. Anyway! Today I take control. I have been advised because of my age (:sigh:) and because I fall off the wagon so easily to set myself reachable targets and not go at it...

Thanks Mini. Nail hit firmly on head re water. I NEVER drink enough and as I understand it, the more you drink the more youmlose so thanks for the heads up and thanks too for the welcome and encouragement.

Hello everyone. I'm new, but sadly not new to dieting. I am in my mid 60's and have been a yo yo dieter all my life. I'm now facing up to reality and realizing that when I start a diet, I set myself unrealistic goals, get disheartened and fall off the wagon, feel a failure so reach for the...
