Diary of a menopausal Yorkshire lass...

[Clapper&Ham]

I'm not sure about extra easy, I always feel like I'm failing on the veg front. I also missed having my other hexA. I don't eat much meat anyway so a hexB usually covers it. Think I'll stick to green from now on!
Your diary is looking really good x

Thankyou

i know what you mean, I do find extra easy very limited and like you I worry about the superfree. Also I hate only having two healthy extras, I really miss having 4 when I do extra easy. I love healthy extras! Much prefer green and red, green being my fave.

Have a good day x

Hi Moira, It's good to hear from you! Keeping up the good work?
Yup, I weigh in on a Thursday now, and am hoping for a decent result. I'm a bit disappointed that I've not heard from my consultant, the last one sent a text or two every week.
I finally tried the B wine tonight, it's good isn't it? It tastes like normal wine. I've no plans for the next few days other than doing a bit of gardening, and sorting some stuff out for my mum - she's not doing too bad thanks. Like you say it's just nice to have a few days off.
I'll send you the link to B_44's diary when I'm on my laptop, if you still haven't found it.

How are things with you? X

Hi Mandy hope you're having a good week and you have a great WI later today. Lost another 1lb so all good, even though we went out for lunch yesterday - one of these French lunches that lasts over 2 hours and yes had steak and frites, cheese and crème brulee. Cheese was my HEA - I don't take milk in drinks so that makes it easier for me with A's. Probably overdid the syns as we did have some wine (only 1 glass for me) and bread. Good luck for tonight and enjoy your break from work.

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Well done!
Who cares about a diet when you're having a lunch like that life is for living. It sounds lovely x

 

[b_44]

Nutty muesli sounds yum. Good luck for weigh in! X

Hello, if Mandy doesn't beat me to it I will send you the link when I am on my laptop also (using the phone app at the mo) x

 

[Clapper&Ham]

You have to give the meusli a go, I was amazed how good it was!
3lbs off woohoo!
Still not impressed with the consultant though...
Not been on laptop yet

 

[clb1953]

Love Dorset nutty meusli

 

[b_44]

Ill have to look out for it. Wow that's excellent, well done! Bet you're really pleased and so you should be.

How come you're not impressed with the consultant if you don't mind me asking? X

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Thank you!
The consultant barely gave me the time of day apart from the usual results comment, and she didn't contact me at all through the week. She pretty much has a fair sized town to herself with 7 groups a week, so doesn't have to put much effort in.
The group I can't make it to anymore was really warm and friendly and the consultant made a point of including everyone and getting discussions going. This one is very different

 

[bikerbabe 44]

Woohooooo 3 lb off I'm delighted for you. Well done Mandy x

Aw that's a shame. It's quite strange to hear how consultants seem to be vary so much, they seem almost like marmite! Some seem to be excellent and others sound rubbish. At least you have minimins x

Well done Mandy, one for joining the group and 2 for your great weight loss.
Shame about the consultant. We get a text every week from ours and because I weighed somewhere else last week and could not get there Thursday this week she send me a text to ask if I was going Friday. Very caring, am sooo lucky.
Only got home this evening so going Saturday morning this week.

Keep going Mandy and well done

Hiya Mandy here to sub. Been reading through your page. Seems like fun here. !! So thought I'd join the party.!!

To add I must be one of the lucky ones to have a brilliant leader. !

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Hi Doreen, good to have you back, I'll catch up with your diary when I get a min x
The consultant is nice, I think it's because my last one was really caring and friendly that it's showing this one up. I've paid for 6 weeks so I'll keep going, but if nothing changes I'll give up then. To be honest I get more support on here than I do there.
Hope your finger is feeling better x

Hi, it's great to have people read this, it makes me more determined. That said I'm having a few days off work, gone into holiday mode, and sw has crashed and burned I'm back at it on Monday - famous last words lol

Have you got a diary?

That's a shame Mandy - down to the individual consultants though. I had a call week one but nothing since, but our consultant is great in class and the class is v good. Good luck with the weekend - tricky these holiday weekends hey
