Supper was sausage, mash, cauliflower and baked beans, followed by yoghurt with fresh raspberries, and a small lager. Now trying to persuade myself I'm not really hungry, and anyway I've cleaned my teeth, both real and fake! And I did sleep after lunch, so didn't go out!

I do wish the medical profession - and the media - wouldn't put everything down to weight! For years, I wouldn't go to the doctor because I was badly overweight, and I was convinced they'd tell me that my sore throat (or whatever) was because I was fat! I was at boarding-school, and whenever...

I am now, but only since last September (Ascend Plus Trial); my 2025 HbAC1 was, so I am told, pre-diabetic! "Keep on doing what you're doing!" said my GP, so I did! And then got invited on the trial, which I accepted!

This is exactly what happened to me - after my annual health check, I had a call out of the blue from one of the doctors at my local health centre saying my HbA1C was through the roof, and I needed to go on metformin immediately, if not sooner. I refused at first - I had absolutely no symptoms...

My mother (who is 98) has one of those disability trolleys, and finds it incredibly useful, both in the kitchen and around the ground floor generally. She has others for upstairs and out-of-doors (although that's usually only from the house to the car, as she uses a wheelchair or mobility...

That was, thankfully, a year ago, and all seems to be well.

Did a sneaky mid-week weigh-in and wish I hadn't: 75.45 - that's up a kg from 10 days ago. Doubt it's fat, though (hope not!).

5.7 this morning. Didn't sleep well, but must get up soon!

I've just had very similar - a slice of sourdough bread spread with butter and a slice of ham. And washed down with home-made lemon/mint cordial.

Anybody else watching the Last Night of the Proms? It's one of the Great Unmissables in our family, as is the New Year's Day concert from Vienna, and (if we find out it's on) the Summer Concert, also from Vienna. And we also rather love André Rieux! One year, a Belgian friend of ours skated...

Service was very good - wish I could preach like our District Chair! Refreshments also good - a variety of sandwiches (I ended up having a whole round!) and the fruit I watched being lovingly prepared yesterday. Don't expect to want much more to eat today, but may well want something before...

@Annb, if the nausea doesn't pass by the middle of next week, it may mean you are one of those who can't tolerate it. But it should pass - these side-effects are usually pretty temporary while your system adjusts! Going to get up and get breakfast in a minute - poached egg on a mini-wrap, I...

5.9 this morning. Not sure why it is steadily creeping up - hope it doesn't go much higher!

My husband fell off a ladder almost exactly a year ago; broke his nose and was very badly bruised and shocked. Poor man. At the time, I was convalescing from a fairly serious eye operation, and couldn't really look after him. We had been due to go down to my then 97-year-old mother's to keep...

Sorry you've felt rotten! As for eating a bigger breakfast, if they increase your dosage of semaglutide, you may find you appetite decreases big-time! I know mine has - hence the weight loss!

I'm so glad someone came to your rescue and took your evening shift! A pity about the onion soup, but I expect it will still be edible next time. Will that be tomorrow, or do you get weekends off? Meanwhile, we didn't have any hot cross buns left, so I ended up eating another wrap (they are...

Hi, and welcome! "They" say that 3 x 10 minutes walk each day is every bit as effective as a single 30-minute walk, so maybe you could fit in ten minutes in your lunch hour, say, and another ten minutes after work? Two of my friends have recently committed themselves to a ten-minute walk...

I got a decent O level while being innumerate! We were very badly taught in primary school (as one friend reminded me, we were told to say if we didn't understand, but if we said, we were told we hadn't been listening!), and my lack of fundamental understanding of what was going on meant my...

I'm glad you were able to sleep for so long in your chair. I woke up in the night with all my bones aching and aching, which isn't the first time that's happened lately! But when I'm up and about, I'm fine... Thinking about it, the salt and pepper chips last night, while delicious, were...

Yes, I have. Planning to attend on 22/09.
