Good for you, I was sure you'd be fine. You stuck to the plan and it worked! Hope the bull is ok.

Rob I meant to say I watched the next part of that programme through the Americas. It was on California. Most beautiful scenery and weather. Fabulous orange groves. However lots of disturbing parts , the fires , the way the area has depleted of water, the homeless people in Las Angeles and San Francisco. Versus the people with serious wealth. Interesting place where folk live off the grid too ,Slabcity . Next episode is down to Mexico .

Sounds like an interesting show. California is an amazing place, have you been? If not when you get back to the US I suggest you put California at the top of your list, beautiful and varied scenery, and interesting cities. I love Mexico, it is a really great place. Lots of variety and things to see, and the people are quite friendly. Mexican culture has had a lot of impact on the US; we have a lot of Mexican-Americans. You will probably like that show as well.

Thanks for all your support and posts on my diary, they make me feel good!
 
Rob you are very welcome and thsnks to you too. I know I'm not posting as much recently,time is a bit of a constraint but I enjoy reading all your diaries. I would love to contribute more and to other new diaries but right now I do well to keep up with the few I do read.

No immediate plans to visit the USA in the near future but I will try visit different parts if I get the chance again.

Absolutely understand, Petal - just reading can take time, let alone commenting! For my part, I'm cutting back a bit - still reading every day (and commenting a bit, because it is all so interesting!) but only posting on my own diary every couple of days.
 
Also, cheering for the roomy, zip-up coat, as mentioned in Rob's diary! :hurray: Such absolutely incontrovertible signs of triumph feel really good!

Petal, you do a great job posting, you brighten up a lot of people's days. However the real reason you should post is for yourself, to keep focused on your eating plan. That is why I do it, and I think all of us do more or less. Post as much as you have time for, and feel the need to do. We'll be happy to see you no matter how often!

Not that I can tell, Amy you another day brightener here. I appreciate you.
 
I have very little to report . Made a lasagne yesterday and had it with a huge salad . Then crackers and cheese last night . I have to cut the crackers out now for a while . I am allowed them but they don’t do me any favours .
I am not at official weigh in this week so I am going with a maintain because basically I’m fluctuating all over place but I’m pretty sure I’m not really gained . Feel pretty good so I’m just going to chip away like i have been so far . I can live with a couple of lbs a month . Should have me in good stead for next spring / summer .
last night I was supposed to go out but I was so tired and so cold . The wind chill was bitter so I sat by the fire and watched a dogs way home . Complete drivel but I loved it .
happy Halloween everyone .
Must buy some horrid candy later For the trick or treaters . Horrid to me not for them of course ! Daughter has told me what to get lol . I suspect she fancies a bit . Really seeing weight loss on her now . I think she is enjoying doing this with me without actually doing it iykwim .
Sorry that’s all a bit ramble today
 
Yes, good for you, about

Slow and steady is winning this race (plus gives skin a chance to adjust as well!)
I do indeed kwym, and I think it's terrific that you and she are (tacitly) offering solidarity to each other. :)

Those round lollipops on sticks are the absolute worst lollies I know - those or Dutch liquorice. :ack2:
 
I love sweet liquorice (some Icelandic folks we met at the con had chocolate-covered liquorice o_O and I just wanted to eat it all!). And lollipops :p

Met some people yesterday I had not seen in 6 months they were amazed by change in me. I felt pretty chuffed .

I am sure you are looking good!

Iykwim and chuffed, two new words for me. Like Cate I had to look iykwim up, I believe chuffed is self-explanatory. You should be chuffed!
 
This week has been a funny one food wise. I have been eating at obscure times due to the holiday week that was in it with lots of coming and going. I an just about holding my own on the scales , fluctuations slightly either way on a daily basis. Going to try now and fluctuate it to the better side over the next few days and ho,d it steady. Mostly I am however sticking to plan but I need to eat back at proper times.

Last night I ate chips from the chippers. It was just a few ( I have to admit LaMa reading about your chips and ketchup I craved them lol ). Husband said he fancied some and daughter said she would eat a few so I said I would share a little with them. I ate about 10 . I did not either like or enjoy them . Felt like they bloated me then. D and I said all fresh wholesome today , think she felt as I did.

I am still listening to the hypnosis every night. I think it has a positive effect on me in that I am extremely conscious of what I eat. I know it's from being on my plan too. I really mostly just feel like I want fresh wholesome foods and lots and lots of fruit.
 
Em no I am not a teacher I am an office manager but I do work school hours mainly . I just changed my hours around this last week so I have been not getting lunch and therefore combining late lunch with early dinner . It’s not suiting me at all . Lots of my family members are teachers and all off on mid term . I’m loving the empty roads though !
