gain goal regain How was your 5:2 day today?

Have a nice weekend Denise.

Denise, I know what you mean. I have a HOT girlfriend who is young looking and just like me she attracts unattractive, boring men. I am lucky to have found Michael but he can be difficult...but he is fit and attractive.

I copied and pasted this from another thread so I don't lose it. I've never known how to do any of this.

I'd love to copy and paste the sugar daddy pictures into my Facebook. That's hilarious and so true!

Sheryl your hoseback ride with all the wildlife and animals sounds like a trip to heaven.

Denise why did you put those instructions - I upload photos all the time. Do you know how to download do you can put on FB?

I think Denise wanted the instructions in a place she can find them. She obviously loved the photo and wants to use it in her FB page.

Guys come on let's pull together. No one is posting and we are going to run to ground. Surely we don't want this. Kim, Denise, Sheryl, Coops, Georgia ... Surely we don't want to loose touch. XXX

[UK Cathy 977]

Personally I'm on my knees and I need you guys. I don't have anyone in the UK

@@UK Cathy I am limiting my time on BP because Alex's post about how us vets are big meanies pissed me off. I still want to be supportive to our little group though! What is going on in your life Cathy?

I am gaining weight, I haven't stepped on a scale in 2 weeks because I am scared and I need to get my butt in gear and get on the program!

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

Have you seen this - perhaps returning the vets forum to a limited one again? Funny thing i suggested it, LL picked it up and lots of people are for it. I am sure there will still be whining newbies who don't like what we have to say to each other...

I am so sore! Yesterday, I went jogging (not walking!) and had a brutal golf lesson.

Thanks for responding Sheryl. My post was written when I was feeling vulnerable. I'm just feeling a bit down and put upon. I have had a cold for nearly a month and am finding it hard to shake off. I think I am over the worst of it now. I'm still trying to take care of mum who lives 200 miles away, working, hubby working away and my elderly dog has just been through major surgery. I didn't think she was going to make it and I made my boys say good bye to her when they visited for Father's Day. Life was just feeling hard.

My weight is approx 28lb up from my lowest and I wasn't at my goal then. Feeling a bit of a failure. I know what is wrong, diet wrong, wine up and exercise virtually zero. I have a couple of days of being 'good' but then I lose it again.

Cuba in 7 weeks and I need to be lighter.

I saw the post about the vets forum, I did post about how I find it difficult to find when accessing via iPad. I agree that 18 months post op is the best time to be a 'vet'. A couple of old names have come out of the woodwork in the past few days so maybe it will become more lively.

You seem to be enjoying life at the moment which is nice to see.

I'm sorry I haven't been posting. I don't want us to lose this little group either.

I wish Kim would post. maybe her husband taking his trip without her has gotten her down. I hope not.

I just get depressed because my life just sucks. I have wonderful friends, but they are in Portland more and more too because their kids and grandkids live there too. I wish I had moved there when I moved from Chicago years ago.

I need more single friends who want to go and do fun things. I hear about things, but I won't go alone. The majority of my friends are married couples.

I am depressed about my weight too, so I am right there with you Cathy and Sheryl. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get down a few lbs. There are just temptations everywhere, and I don't seem to have any willpower anymore. Also, I can eat more. The other day I was really appalled that I ate 2 pieces of pizza. I have never been able to eat more than one piece.

I was doing well with my new trainer at the gym, but he told me he quit and is going to the other side of the state where he's been offered a job as a trainer at a much better gym .

Sheryl, I did copy and paste the directions for posting a picture. I have never known how to do it! Now the directions are somewhere I can find them, instead of trying to remember which post they are on.

[UK Cathy 977]

Denise is a move to Portland out of the question? I know you started to exercise again is everything all OK with your back now and did the op fix everything?

Weight gain is a pig - no take that back I'm being the pig which is causing the gain.

I wish Kim would post as I want to know all about her Scotland trip.

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

Moving to Portland would be a really big ordeal. For one thing, houses are much more expensive there. It's so spread out. it would be difficult for me to buy a house near my son, where houses are really expensive. If I bought a house in one of the less expensive areas, I would be about an hour's drive to my son's house.

My daughter lives here and will never be able to move bc she shares custody of her son and her divorce states she can't move more than 50 miles. It's a great place to raise kids, cause you're too tired to have any night life.

[UK Cathy 977]

I understand your predicament.
