Onwards & Downwards: April 2019

[ABSpareEditor]

Last month's thread is here.

April has arrived which means so has the sunshine. Gnomes find it easier to diet in warmer weather. How about you?

[jennyjoan]

well am trying very hard so in the last two weeks I have lost 3lbs

[Old_Geezer]

Cheers SpEd.

[xstitcher]

Thanks Ed. Much appreciated.

I find it easier to lose weight in the warmer weather .may be due to not sitting around so much and a few salad meals

[xstitcher]

Morning all, still the same.....eating is spasmatic at the moment. DH in hospital for an emergency operation for a twisted bowel. Thoughts on everything but food.

[wendilla]

no need to guess .still the same . Hope all goes well and good recovery for your hubby .

[Old_Geezer]

That's nasty x, trust all going well.

[xstitcher]

Thanks Wendilla and OG everything is going superburbly.
So hopefully he’ll be home soon. The house seems quite empty.

[Old_Geezer]

Apparently lost 1.2 lbs over the last fortnight. Lord only knows how !

[xstitcher]

Clapping for you OG!

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, I’m down but only by a pound. I don’t deserve it as I grab anything I can put in my mouth at the moment. When things get back to normal on the homefront it will be easier. Hubby might be allowed home on Friday.

[Old_Geezer]

Good news on both fronts then.

[xstitcher]

Thanks OG what’s your news?
Oh boy I just gave an Oscar winning performance with the service people for my mobility scooter after 3 days of getting no answers as to when they could come and fix a loose connection on my charger. I feel like I’ve won the lottery. They’ll be here this afternoon. :-)))

[Old_Geezer]

Not near my scales at present. Probably will have more news sometime in the next 7 days. Doubt the previous drop will remain though. Seemed a bit too good to be true.

Yay for the movement on the scooter too.

[wendilla]

late again but still the same . I need a kick start . maybe the salad food I ordered with my food delivery will do the trick .

[Old_Geezer]

Pity they don't do salad in pill form.
Might be bearable then, with a fruit juice.

[Smowball]

My trouble is I don’t eat enough, which sounds daft, but after years of being a Slimming World consultant (not any more) I know that the body goes into starvation mode when you don’t eat enough and so it clings into every single calorie. I just don’t have an appetite.

[ummmm]

I'm the same as Smow but my body doesn't seem to go into starvation mode so I have to force myself to eat.

You really should try some salad, OG, I love it. I'd eat it everyday if I didn't have the men to feed.

[Rockrose]

My favourite meal at the moment is goats cheese, baby beetroot, scallions, walnuts and balsamic glaze

[ummmm]

RR...have you tried spicy beetroot?
