Just no shortcake in celebration, ok? Yes, I know I am meanie ;-)

Yeah, I know....

I had a mouthful of gingerale is celebration, I think
I will make up a fruit smoothie and dump a bit of Sake in it...

Know all about the plateauing. I seem to get stuck every 4-5lb and it

My plateaus tend to be every ten pounds...

Realise at 270 it can still feel a long way to go. But to drop from 315? MATE!! That's quite an achievement! Multiple brownie points are due.

Actually started at 350 in 2003, but the 315 was
last October... Weight has been up and down over the
years since 30 years old...

Oh, and exercise for weight loss is different than for fitness training. HIT works (3 x 20 second intense exercise bursts with 20 second rest intervals). Unfortunately with my CFS this is not possible for me, but it's not essential. As it's been shown that just being active and occasionally getting a little out of puff actually burns more calories and helps with health more than hitting the gym. And with your ouchies I wonder if that might be a better approach for you too?

Usually I just do the bike and the treadmill at the gym, I can
exercise at home, a good walk for an hour is a good workout
as well...

Though running away from those giant white inflatable balls must be keeping you active too? ;-)

(Yes, I do get the inference with your signature. Your English roots are showing if you know that series ;-) Oh, did you know the setting for the "Village" was real and you can still go there?)

Yes, Portmeirion in North Wales, want to visit there sometime, it
is most definitely on the bucket list, should dress up as my
alter-ego and have a few pictures taken.

Think slim thoughts and keep happy.

I try...

You too!

Hiya 6

I am siting here with a HUGE grin on my face! Just love the photo you found. Absolutely bril! I wonder how many others on here will have the slightest idea of what we are talking about?

Going back a few years I was living in Wales and actually tried to visit Portmeirion, but couldn't quite manage it. Really wish I made more of an effort. But perhaps the memory might be better than the reality?

Unless you are a total 'Prisoner' nut you probably won't remember that there was one episode where they were playing cricket. I now live less than 10 miles from where they filmed it! (ok, I will admit I didn't know this until I looked it up ;-)

I actually had to re-read where you said your max was 350lb. To be able to pull back from there is nothing short of amazing. You should be sooooooo proud of yourself! I tip my hat to you sir!

Hopefully over the next week or so I will finally get things back on track and catch up with stuff again. And I will definitely try to get that info I mentioned to you sorted. A couple of my friends are getting some amazing results.

And no shortcake!! ;-)

Take care.

Huggy.
