On 08 May 2018 I started this thread for those who wanted to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle.

We now have a small band of ā€˜regulars’ called Pears and Apples. I am so grateful to those who have stayed loyal and contributed a lot of useful information and given support, especially Whiff šŸ‘

Do join us, the rules are simple.

Choose your own style of diet plan.

Check in regularly with a report of the highs and lows of the diet.

Have an occasional binge but get back on the wagon ASAP.

Pass on any useful diet tips.

You have nothing to lose on this thread, other than weight.

Our mantra is - EAT LESS FOR LIFE.

CocoPops hope your son is well on the road to recovery.

NanKate glad I make you laugh. Funny enough if I have to phone a company about anything I always end making the person I am talking to laugh. But I always say if you have a horrible person remember you had this weird woman that made you laugh. I really don't understand the need to be nasty as the paerson you speak isn't the one causing the problem . They hide away in their offices having nothing to do with their customers.

Meeting your friend in the Cotswolds will be lovely. I was talking to my friend the other day and she said soon be 68 like you . I pointed out we had been friends for 50 years. We meet at college.

Allsorts sometimes that's how it is with weight lose . But as its been hot may be you have been drinking more and your body has decided to hold on to the water. Well that's my theory.

Forgot to post last week had lost half a pound glad to say lost 2.5 lbs this week. I know I will put on this week as my brother is an excellent cook and always a pud. Plus the drive thru ice cream shop šŸ˜‹. I never expect to be taken to different places just happy in their bungalow or if its not to hot in the garden. Love it when my sister in law and I craft together.

Went to an event at the church a friend had helped organise about Palestinian embroidery. The talk was interesting and seeing different parts of Palestine have different symbols for eg a tree. Turned out it was cross stitch. I ended up teaching some people to cross stitch so taking my fabric and chart with me tomorrow. Talked to lot of different people. One lady did make me laugh she said she is at her happiest with manure at the stables. She was in her late 70's and had her first kayak lesson that morning she hadn't told any of her friends . My daughter says why do people tell you things told her have no idea but people do . Must have one of those faces.

Last choir Wednesday until September so will miss it but I sing the 4 songs we have learnt while doing my static pedalling. We are recording them on 12th September but dont know where yet.

Oh dear have we got a 🧌 troll. Glad their post got deleted. I always thought we wouldn't attract them normally they are attacking the estrangement threads.

Brace yourselves now they have hit this thread they will try again . 😔

Have a good week its supposed to get hot again .
