Lose Weight 37

dannie

Thanks for your message last week which I really appreciated fredsnail.  Been thinking about you and how the other passengers in your car must have felt during/after the car collision you mentioned. 

STS since 19/1/2020.  Did "have a go" at getting out more cycling which was a change.  Also, doing some gardening jobs.  Then the bad weather set in but have used the indoor bike a lot. 

Thanks.

Thank you for your comments - I'm ok thank you - there were no others in my car but the car that hit had passengers.  Thankfully everyone was ok .

Dannie I hope you are feeling better now - it's difficult when you don't feel 100% - you're doing really well on the indoor cycling too

I can see that the chart hasn't posted on the new site so I'll try a couple of different things to see if I can get it to work.

Hi Fred, Dannie, it's good to see familiar names here.  Not posted for a number of years but would like to join in again.  Still battling with weight loss, so help and encouragement appreciated.

Hello nice to see you here again, welcome back.

Needless to say I have gained some weight back and need to get my eating habits back on track.   I really want to reduce the amount of sugar in my diet to a minimum.  Exercise consists of ballroom dancing and gardening. I am in the trap of loosing a 1lb one week and gaining it again the next.    Rather tricky over next few weeks as we have had a death in the family and have all that to deal with.  Meal plans are virtually non existent.

Hello again durham_mim, sorry for your loss.

Your name is also "familiar" too me.  I think I recall you mentioning diffferent dietary approaches that you have done.  I also still do a lot of gardening.  Best of luck in joining in again.

Sorry to hear if your loss - it's always a difficult time - but take time to care for yourself too.

Hi Dannie, I have tried several different dietary approaches, low carb, SW and a anti candida exclusion diet.  I've settled to just calorie counting, but aiming to keep carbs & sugar low. 
 As to gardening, when I was here before I had an allotment.  I no. Longer have that, but we have moved to a bungalow with a large garden.  Many areas are overgrown and need re-organising, so both OH and I are kept busy.  We aim to make it lower maintenance.
Took up to date measurements today ready to start recording in signature.

Hello durham_mim, thanks for your message.  It was your first two "approaches" that I recalled.  I also have considered/tried different types of diets.  Interesting also to hear about your gardening plans which sound very similar to mine.
