    Have a great holiday shaggy. :)


    If it's OK with you, we'll keep posting our AFDs while you're away.

    I'm not off until Sunday - just getting excited so thought I'd start packing! But I'm away for only 10 days so just keep shouting out those AFDs and I will catch them all as soon as I get back.
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Shaggy, it's great that you've managed to get back into those clothes - good for you and the effort you put in. Did you follow SW?

    I'm declaring early tonight so it's 5/10 for me in July so far.

    I just used a home made xcel spread sheet and put my calories in for every day. I do find that helps focus me. I think you can get phone/ipad apps that do the same thing. My OH uses a free app that reads bar codes - he thinks its great.
    When I start again in August I'll probably try and get out and do some long walks too, while the weather is lovely. Hope all is alright with you?

    I'm in Penrith today, Kendal tomorrow and Carlisle on Wednesday with an Adrian Plass/Searchlight Theatre/World Vision event; lots of mileage but in beautiful countryside, and I get the daytimes to myself.

    Oh you lucky person. You do have a tough life ;)

    I hope it is not too late to have a target of 20 this month Shaggy? I have 7 AFDs so far. Not great, but been celebrating DD1's fantastic degree result and it was her graduation yesterday. Back to sensible me again now, although hol coming up too.

    Hope everybody is well and happy xx

    It's never too late! :D Congratulations to your DD and to you and your OH for helping her get there :T

    Hi everyone

    I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine :j

    Calling in early for tonight, 1 more please :) My first sunny smiley!

    I am following Shaggy in the weight loss effort now! Wine is just not conducive to good fat burning so more effort required in these parts!

    12/20 AFDs, even though I'm booked into a room in a pub tonight!!! That must surely get an extra smiley?
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
