Amazing what daft diets they had back then.

I found this. It might be of assistance for those wanting to lose a few pounds...

Well done on the half pound loss whiff. I lost 4lbs of what I put on over Christmas……
I bought a walking pad before Christmas , just for on the days I don’t go running if pouring with rain….it folds and goes nicely under the settee….the draw back it’s heavier than I thought, a bind to pull it out , we do have room in the conservatory to keep it out all the time but I don’t want it stuck there …I suppose it’s good toning pulling it out each time 😂. 💪

Bit milder this week but more wet, nice not to have the heating on all day.
Have a good week all…

Shirley I remember Beryl the peril but not Topper.

MayBee having your banana bread worked for you so going back to it is a good idea . You will get your mojo back .

Lost half a pound this week . Which is better than putting on .

Finally after a year since I came out of hospital feeling tired 8-9 pm and not still wide awake at midnight. Just hope my speech and my arms go back to normal. On list for speech therapy last 3 months so don't hold out any hope for having appointment soon . But seeing my neurologist in March hoping he can help with my arms. Still haven't got the strength back no matter how much I exercise them so annoying 🤬.

NanKate this merry band is here for the long haul none of us are quitters or into short cuts .

Anyway have a good week pears and other fruits .

MayBe70 it tough getting back on track after the ‘extras’ we all have had at Christmas. I’m about to get on the scales and I know the way they will be going ☹️

The good news is that our small clan of Pears and Apples get back on the wagon and realise that getting slimmer is our goal.

Best of luck folks.

As usual I didn’t overeat at Christmas but have been eating more than usual afterwards. It happens every January. Also my new cholesterol lowering diet is no longer working, weight wise. I’m going to make more banana bread and go back to nighttime fasting and having banana bread to break the fast. I’m not looking forward to the chia pudding type meals I’ve been breaking my fast with. My knee has also been particularly sore so I haven’t been getting much exercise and I just want to sleep for England! I hate the cold weather,too! Need to get my mojo back.

Quarter of a pound on Christmas week is amazing whiff well done.
How lovely your grandsons having their grandads sting ray car and captain scarlet annuals, I used to like those programmes…
I still have my old beryl the peril annuals and the topper… lol…love them.

Shirley to many goodies around at Christmas and New year. But 2026 is a new start.

Consider what I have eat this week astounded only put quarter of a pound on . Only exercise I had was my usual 7 and my 500 on my static pedals. Back to normal this week. But got chat and cuppa in the morning so plenty of goodies but sit fit on the afternoon and move it or lose it Tuesday morning.

Had a sort out with my grandsons had 3 boxes of toys but they are older so down to one . Rest going to Roy Castle charity shop. They took all the books with them . As both enjoy reading . Gave them there granddads Stingray ,supercar ,Captain Scarlet annuals and a copy of Treasure island from 1956 which must have been his sister's . The colour illustrations are still brightly coloured. But I have always kept them safe.

Have a good week fruits and wrap up warm it's going to be a cold week..🤸🥶

I braved the scales…I put on 5lbs in 4 weeks 😮….i did expect it, sounds such a lot…back to healthy eating…I still kept up my 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️ though.

Happy New Year you lovely Pears and Apples.

The good news I only put on half a pound whilst away at my son’s for Christmas, however since returning home I have eaten extra food like Panettone, Xmas cake, a few chocolates etc etc. It’s so easy to fall back into bad eating habits. Today is my last day of indulgence.

Back on the wagon tomorrow. Onward and downward girls. 👋

Happy and healthy new year to you all

Happy New Year to you all from me too.

Happy new year pears . Hope you health and happiness and you achieve everything you want in 2026. 🥂🥂🥂🥂🤸

Haha whiff yes very low cal….looks lovely yum yum….

This is the low cal dessert 🤣🤣🤣I made for after baked mushroom and goat cheese risotto.

Black cherry cheesecake with dark chocolate gauche. Cal free 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very well done whiff….no going on scales till Sunday for me .

Enjoy NYE, not that we are going out but I usually do a nice little spread for the last day of the year….

Very well done Whiff. 👍
Just returned from Son’s home today, still unpacking. Will weigh myself this week.

Hope you all had a good Christmas just weighted myself. Had to do it twice I have lost 1.75lbs. Must be the first Christmas I have ever lost weight. And I have eaten things I don't normally allow myself .

Got 2 friends coming for lunch new year's eve so I expect to put on weight next week. But who knows . Still can't get over I lost .

Pears hope 2026 you can do everything you want . A healthy and happy new year to you all. 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🤸🤸🤸

Merry Christmas Pears eat drink and be merry. 🎄🥂🎁☃️. 💞

I think we are all having a bit of a wobble foodwise this Christmas, we are only human.

Let’s enjoy ourselves and re-group after New Year.

Thanks for the laughs, friendship and advice.

Kate 🎄🍷🍹🍫

Oh wow, would never of guessed Belgium

No. Belgium in late 17th century. Was a surprise to us all .

Without googling I’d say the USA or Canada .
