Hi Jane So glad to see you so excited to be back at a slimming world group. Its great you enjoyed it and it has motivated you 😁 That is what staying to group can do. I love Slimming world been going for a few years now but I always stay. Made so meny special friends and great support too . Well done have a great week. 👍
Hi Jane, Joe, Good for you going back to group. I have problems now with my eyes and get in a right fluster getting my books and purse out . it did put me of going this next week , I may try the coconut milk as I'm sure I would like it .Good luck for next week. Love Ros xx
Jane I go into group with all extras off, then sit and put my junk on its my weigh in ritual 😂 . Well done you back to group / new group pleased you had a great experience and a warm welcome xxx
Your ritual sounds like fun! I like my new group, it’s small, only around 25 stay, but, it’s my lovely Naomi and boy oh boy, can she lead a good group!! She has been at target for over 10 years and a consultant for 10 years in Ocober. She just gets better and better. It feels like coming home. Cheers Jane x
Hello Jane, your vlog really spoke to me so thank you for that. Hadn’t realised before that a strong, independent mindset can count against you sometimes. I often experience a kind of standing in the wings of a theatre whilst looking at myself on stage. Eating stupid things because I can and nobody is going to stop me. The me in the wings is both horrified and admiring of this independence and careless attitude to rules. After all, I made the rules for myself in the first place. What you have said has brought home to me, finally, that the need to use this strong spirit we have wisely. Maybe be a little humble in my case and not so careless of those long fought weight losses. They are precious. Well done Jane my Nottingham Gal. Joan, your fellow Nottingham Gal although moved around 40 years ago xx
Hey Joan. I love that analogy of standing in the wings. You describe perfectly how my mind functions. I let the pounds mount up and then suddenly, as if from nowhere, I’m stones heavier and I don’t even recognise that I took part in this behaviour. It really is like someone else is doing it but I’m paying the price. Just off walking and it’s cooler out there today. Going to pop into Wilford Hill Cemetery to see the Woodpeckers. We have two beauties up there and we see them most days. Haven’t caught the sound of them hammring away yet lol! Stay safe. Much love Jane x
Hi Jane + Joe glad you went back to group you just don’t do it the same yourself. Be good this week and get off to a great start you can do it. That’s me got all my 6 implants in now I can manage tinned tomatoes 🥫 yuk scrambled eggs for breakfast, Syn free soup and yogurt for lunch and yellow smoked fish and broccoli 🥦 for tea so I’m getting better trying to stay away from icecream and chocolate this time 😂. Have a lovely week. Love from Irene xx
I'm back in group after a 4 week break as my lovely mam of 87 passed away in hospital.A month eating anything and everything led to an 8 pounds gain! I so missed the support of my group. I'm back on plan, feeling relaxed and looking forward to resuming my weight loss journey...... Love your honest videos. It isn't all plain sailing and it's easy to derail yourself.
Hi Darling Twin hi Joe I know this is your best tool group truly helps you. I can honestly say your smile is on its way back. Take care love as always xx
Hi Jane, great to see you back I missed you. I am not in the best place. Only reason being grossly overweight. I did two days Slimming World and felt so better. This weather and being overweight does not suit me at all. I actually try but feel quite negative when I get up. I personally don't sleep well in this weather and toss and turn result being shattered in the morning and throughout the day. This then manifests itself into well you deserve to have what you want for breakfast and so the day begins. I haven't had a fruit bowl for months now, no inclination for apples oranges. I have just been eating Strawberries raspberries and melon and not for free food for puddings xxx Lesley xxx
Lesley, my heart goes out to you. I feel quite like you do. Just gaining a couple of stones has made me realise that I don’t need to be huge to feel huge. I’m hating the humidity and like you I’m finding sleep eludes me. i had my Dyson fan on all night but think I got about 3 hours sleep which is just not enough for me. I’m irritable when I’m tired and also tiredness wipes out my resolve to eat well. I’m having to be very careful this weekend. We can only do our best and keep going. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
Hi Jane, so happy that you have joined group again, I am hopefully starting next Friday so fingers crossed, you are starting to sound like Jane again, good luck with your new sw journey, will let you know when I start mine, keep well Jane.
Hi Dorothy. You sound as relieved as I feel. Is it red hot in Lincolnshire? Mum isn’t venturing out of doors in Gainsborough so she is quite cool and composed. I rang her in a near meltdown state after a 95 minute walk starting at noon. Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun! Wow, that was too hot and far too humid and it was a real blessing to get home to my Dyson fan. Stay safe. Regards to Michael. Much love Jane x
Very hot lol. I have a nice cold flannel Jane, cools me down a treat when I get inside. Only sat out for 15 minutes in the shade lol. Hope you had a bottle of water with you. Michael is fine he stays in watching formula one and tour d France.
Good to see you back and enthusiastic about the plan. Your bra incident made me chuckle out loud, I could just imagine the scene and Joe standing there holding your bra. I went to our Bravissimo store in Cambridge when we came out of this last lockdown as I was desperate for new bras , I didn’t have to make an appointment but they weren’t allowed to touch you in any way and it was a really hot day and I was in a below ground changing room with about 13 bras try on and was getting hotter and hotter and really struggling to get the blooming things on. I got 3 of my regular ones and one different one to try but it wasn’t a nice experience I must say. I wanted to see and try on different styles but in future I will stick to my regular ones and maybe order them over the phone and sent by post like I’ve done before. I’ve been struggling trying to do this at home and may have to go back to group but I hate all the happy clapping they do ,it really bugs me. Have a good week , take care. X
Gosh, your bra experience was so like mine. I would have probably bought 3 or 4 bras if a) the service had been more appropriate and b) the changing rooms had been air conditioned lol. When you need the support, bras don’t go on easily in steamy changing rooms. I had to be firm with the young lady as she was determined to truss me up like a Christmas turkey in totally the wrong sized bra. Eventually, I just said what I needed and went back to my usual Fantasy bra. Like you, I would love to try something different but Wednesday wasn’t the day to do it. I like their telephone service and I use it when I just want to repeat an order. I can’t use it for something new as boy oh boy, don’t fits vary!? I put on one bra and she said I had a minimal spill over and she tried to tighten the straps. A spill over I said! It’s more like a blinking avalanche lol. Well, I was very grateful to get out into what constituted fresh air that afternoon. We noticed that all my usual fave stores, Joules, White Co, Whistles etc had 50% off sales. I didn’t even venture across their doorsteps, I need to shed a couple of stones and it was just too hot. Take care of yourself. Much love Jane x
@@JaneDay I’m like you and need good support and get the panache Tango but I wanted to try some non wired comfort bras but I only found one out of the whole lot that I tried on that gave my any sort of support, so I got that to see how I got on with it and three of my underwired. I had to fasten them at the front and then try and wriggle them round and as it was so hot and sticky it was a nightmare. The assistant said she wasn’t allowed to help me and one of the straps wouldn’t alter and when I asked for help was told she wasn’t allowed to touch me. I’ll be glad when this madness ends. Talking of spilling out made me laugh as I had to go up another cup size as I was having to shove and squeeze them in a bit, I’m now in a whopping H.
The old Jane is back ! ! You are standing taller , eyes bright and you are positively glowing , I’m looking forward to seeing you out of black and back wearing colour again.
Thank you for your lovely positive words. Black may stay for a while. I’m wearing it for a couple of reasons, one being where I’m at and the other, well, that’s where my heart’s at. Funny isn’t it, for years and years I only wore black. Blue then took over and now I go through my wardrobe with absolutely no interest at all. I’m seriously considering getting rid and starting over. I need to find a new ‘why’ and a new style. I’m approaching 65 and I want to be 27 again. That’s not going to work, but, I don’t know yet what is. Watch this space and I may emerge in time. Hope all is well with you. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
@@JaneDay it’s fun to reinvent yourself every now and again. When I lost my weight I’ve had to replace everything so this time I’ve chosen things I like rather than things that fit. It’s expensive but nice to find I can shop in different places now. I’ve been following you for a while and really liked your style in clothes , comfortable and flattering and fun.
Well done Jane, that took real courage to grab the nettle and get back to group. I’m sure you will have broken the chain of pain now and before too long be back to where you feel most comfortable! Good for you girl! I am still faffing a bit but this has been a better week and I am weighing in on my own scales on Monday morning so we shall see how we go! I’ve got another wedding next August, my youngest son is getting married so I definitely want to be back to my fighting weight by then! Last week I was 10st 13lb and I would love to get to 8st 13lb for the big day! Very doable in the timescale I’ve got but as you and I know it’s down to our minds as much as anything isn’t it! Here goes for us all, come on we can do this!! Xx
The chain of pain, I like that. I’m always the one who gets in my way. I’m so glad group is getting back to normal. I’m not bothered that there won’t be a drinks table, I’m not fussed about the raffle but, I’ very very grateful that like minded members were in that room yesterday. Football didn’t come home, but I did! Now Joe sees what I mean by ‘tribe’. The group had a lot of ladies around my age which was ok. I’m used to a younger membership but maybe I’ll accept I’m not the baby member who joined my first group some 46 years ago. I definitely have staying power now and I’m grateful to belong. As I said in another response to comment, I’m not a natural team player but what I like about Naomi’s meetings is the equality. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been around for years, or, whether it’s your very first meeting, she has so much respect for everyone. She’s been a consultant now for ten years and she is transparent, straightforward and she lives the SW plan. I still want what she has! Hope you get a loss on Monday. Text me and let me know and please, let’s chat soon. Love and kindest regards Jane x
Well done on going back to group lovely so glad to see you looking much better in yourself bless you and thank you for being such an inspiration Going to have to try that soya milk sounds good hope you have a great week take great care loads of love from Carol x x x
Fantastic to see you in such a positive frame of mind again. You seem back to your old self, being back in group will be such a good thing. Take care x
Hey Wes. How’s the foot? I do hope you’re getting around without pain. Thanks for your comment. You are a natural encourager and I for one appreciate that. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
So great to see you so motivated again but that’s what group does to you. Glad that your ok with your weight gain , it doesn’t matter as you said. I think your groups are ahead of ours as we are still no raffles and shoes on. Like you I thought it was to do with Covid but yes it makes sense it’s to save time. I got a surprise getting 2 certificates , not just my 4th year diamond award but I also got diamond member of the year 2021 . Also a lovely SW scented candle in a jar . Sainsbury’s does a nice spicy salmon burger at 1 syn each and a friend of mine said it’s lovely. I don’t have a Sainsbury’s near me such a pity as these dressings look lovely . A great blog again and wishing you both a great week ahead. Love Doris x
I am happier. I’m not a natural in group settings, but, SW groups do work for me. Probably what I really mean is that I’m not a natural team player but in group everyone is equal and that works for me. Hope all is well with you. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
Do you like the 70% less version or do you go for the original? Because I hadn’t had the original for so long, the 70% less one tastes marvellous to me. Much love Jane x
@@JaneDay I buy and enjoy the 30% less fat, however I was totaly enjoy the original for a few weeks as I bought it saying ( 70% free) i had read it incorrectly !!! Thought it was 70% less fat. I will give it a go if your recommending 70% fat free ( or should I say will try again) 😂 xx
Hi Jane. I am really happy for you! Going back to group made a huge difference in you. You sound so much more positive, happy and motivated! 👍Wish you all the best success Jane. Take carex
Glad you are in a better place now Jane. Can I just say. I have never found better bras than asda t shirt bras. I told and told my mum and she took some convincing but now even she agrees. And the best thing is they are only about 4 pounds. They are supportive and lift you right up and give you a lovely shape. Next time you are in asdas you could even get a few in your size. Or order online a couple of sizes in your size range and give them a try at home and if they are no good you can just return them.....of thats possible during covid? Well its been 49 degrees and I have been sweltering but we have gone on holiday to sarajevo bosnia and what a relief it is even thought the weather has been between 25 and 35 degrees. Have a great week Jane. Xxx
Definitely the best thing I ever did Jane. II always spent 15 to 20 on bras even more at times, and my girls nagged me to high heaven( I bet I may even be bigger than you) but it's the best thing I ever did. The shape is so much better. I got the cheapest, I think they may be a fiver now. I learned a good lesson too. Don't pay extra for the pretty pattern ones they have a seam and are nowhere near as good.
Hi Kirsty. Great suggestion about the Asda bras. I have actually tried them. In our store they are 3 for £20 or single one for £5. Too much padding for me when I already have an abundance of natural padding lol. Understand what you mean though about them being great value. Have a fab holiday. Much love Jane x
I’m thinking Susan, if the world can have a new normal, maybe we can all claim to be living our own normal life and stop judging each other. Variety is the spice of life and you always seem to do you and encourage others along the way. Hope all is moving in the right direction for you. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
I use balsamic vinegar and balsamic syrup (not sure it's the correct word) as salad dressing. I have also thinned hummus with plant milk and some water. Good luck on your journey we are all with you and on the same journey.
So glad you went back to group Jane nice to see you excited about the plan again 😀 I will be trying the coconut milk you mentioned as I've been trying to find a milk to add to my coffee that isn't sweet or dairy so thank you for the recommendation good luck for the week ahead fingers crossed for a loss for you remember it works if you work it and I'll see you next week 😊 x
What a lovely encouraging comment. I’m glad I had the sense to go back and I hope to be a regular attendee from now on. I love this plan, it has inperfections, but then don’t all diets? The coconut milk is awesome. By far the best one I’ve ever purchased and I’m going to stick with it and hope that in time other supermarkets will stock it. It’s one of those plant based milks that goes in coffee and tea and I don’t think many of them do. I gave some to a friend in her coffee and she didn’t even notice it wasn’t cow’s milk. Well, she drank her coffee without complaint. Stay safe. See you soon. Jane x
Good to see you Jane on with the plan ,what I find best for my journey is that I keep my plate very simple ,add what I like best ,but stay away from artificial things ,so I go for fresh herbs ,lemon and so on ,good luck dear Jane and Joe take care
Some very good and positive ideas in your comment. Much appreciated and thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. I love to hear from other people who value simplicity. Much love Jane x
Hi Jane! I do hope you know how much I appreciate you sharing your journey through your ups and downs with us. It makes it all so real and helps me to remember that this is a journey through not a journey to, if you know what I mean. A continuous journey without a destination I guess is what I mean. It is great to see you back in a positive mindset and that you are working hard against going into the dieting mentality which is so easy to do when our weight is up. Kudos to you! Thanks again and greetings to Joe. God bless! 🥰
hi Barbara. I like that, going through is better than going to. It certainly is a journey and hey, we all have the same destination! I was thinking about you the other day. I found a new channel to me on RUclips. It’s from North East Pensylvania. It’s the Veggie Boys. A large family of vegetable farmers and they’re lovely guys and gals. Have you come across it? Sending lots of love and good wishes. Blessings Jane x
hi Jane and Joe , another lovely chat and information about food items to buy . I must look out for the coconut milk . Yes , I agree it's not about getting from A to B , it needs to be an enjoyable journey, no end but a continuum . And not seeing it as a diet but a lifeplan that fits into daily life without pressure or inconvenience . If it is too restrictive it will not last . Going to group made a difference too. enjoy your weekend xx
I absolutely love this comment. You say everything I intend to and you say it very well. I’m glad group is back and I’m going to go every Friday for the sake of my sanity. Bless you many times over for this comment. Much love Jane x
Ahhh it’s lovely to see you Jane!! I can see a glint in your eye and you’re back and seem happy in your place. 🤗 l m up and down calorie counting with nutracheck check app and must say enjoying but l m just not consistent 🤷🏻♀️. My own fault totally but we go on don’t we?! Stay safe love to Joe see you next week Ally xxx
I think consistency is what a lot of us are finding difficult. Calorie counting works, but you have to be on top of it all the time. SW does allow more flexibility as you can eat Free food guilt free if you have a hungry head on. Do you watch Shell? She vlogs as Beanfeast 57 I think. She’s doing great with a calorie counting app but it’s not the one you use. Give her a look if you don’t watch her already. She is another blind vlogger and very nice lady. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
A bit emotional Jane, I think I'm right in saying that? I'd a lump in my throat listening to you. I'm so glad you bit the bullet. Already I can see you're in the right frame of mind now. I never knew what IMAGE stood for!! It's roasting here too, I can't handle the heat at the moment. Thanks so much for the mention last wk! I went puce! Left a message for you. Shoulder to the wheel this week for you and me! Much love jx
Hey Joan. My emotions are all over the place at the moment. I’m up at the moment but it doesn’t take much to rock my boat! The heat is so draining. We walked 5 miles at noon and I now understand the song..... Mad dogs and Englishmen lol! We may have to curtail our walks a bit as I’m getting fried. Sorry I didn’t respond quickly to your previous message, I had read it but it was very late at night. Does puse suit you lol? You are such a fabulous support on my channel and I didn’t think you would mind me highlighting your comment. You’re a ‘diamond’. Stay safe. Much love Jane x

As I said in another response to comment, I’m not a natural team player but what I like about Naomi’s meetings is the equality. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been around for years, or, whether it’s your very first meeting, she has so much respect for everyone. She’s been a consultant now for ten years and she is transparent, straightforward and she lives the SW plan. I still want what she has! Hope you get a loss on Monday. Text me and let me know and please, let’s chat soon. Love and kindest regards Jane x
@@JaneDay will do!! Xx
Lovely vlog Jane xx
Thank you so much. Take care. Jane x
Well done on going back to group lovely so glad to see you looking much better in yourself bless you and thank you for being such an inspiration
Going to have to try that soya milk sounds good hope you have a great week take great care loads of love from Carol x x x
Fantastic to see you in such a positive frame of mind again. You seem back to your old self, being back in group will be such a good thing. Take care x
Agree with all these comments Jane Onwards and up ! Xx
Hey Wes. How’s the foot? I do hope you’re getting around without pain. Thanks for your comment. You are a natural encourager and I for one appreciate that. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
@@JaneDay Hi Jane - the foot is much better thanks, i can walk pretty much normally with no pain, which is a relief :) x
So great to see you so motivated again but that’s what group does to you. Glad that your ok with your weight gain , it doesn’t matter as you said. I think your groups are ahead of ours as we are still no raffles and shoes on. Like you I thought it was to do with Covid but yes it makes sense it’s to save time. I got a surprise getting 2 certificates , not just my 4th year diamond award but I also got diamond member of the year 2021 . Also a lovely SW scented candle in a jar . Sainsbury’s does a nice spicy salmon burger at 1 syn each and a friend of mine said it’s lovely. I don’t have a Sainsbury’s near me such a pity as these dressings look lovely . A great blog again and wishing you both a great week ahead. Love Doris x
You seem so much happier going back to group. Take Care both of you xx
I am happier. I’m not a natural in group settings, but, SW groups do work for me. Probably what I really mean is that I’m not a natural team player but in group everyone is equal and that works for me. Hope all is well with you. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
Welcome back on plan 😊 i am with you, also salad cream 😘 it's a daily sin splurge for me ☺ x
Do you like the 70% less version or do you go for the original? Because I hadn’t had the original for so long, the 70% less one tastes marvellous to me. Much love Jane x
@@JaneDay I buy and enjoy the 30% less fat, however I was totaly enjoy the original for a few weeks as I bought it saying ( 70% free) i had read it incorrectly !!! Thought it was 70% less fat. I will give it a go if your recommending 70% fat free ( or should I say will try again) 😂 xx
Hi Jane. I am really happy for you! Going back to group made a huge difference in you. You sound so much more positive, happy and motivated! 👍Wish you all the best success Jane. Take carex
Thank you so much. I’m feeling quite a lot more positive. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Much love Jane x
Glad you are in a better place now Jane. Can I just say. I have never found better bras than asda t shirt bras. I told and told my mum and she took some convincing but now even she agrees. And the best thing is they are only about 4 pounds. They are supportive and lift you right up and give you a lovely shape. Next time you are in asdas you could even get a few in your size. Or order online a couple of sizes in your size range and give them a try at home and if they are no good you can just return them.....of thats possible during covid?
Well its been 49 degrees and I have been sweltering but we have gone on holiday to sarajevo bosnia and what a relief it is even thought the weather has been between 25 and 35 degrees.
Have a great week Jane. Xxx
Definitely the best thing I ever did Jane. II always spent 15 to 20 on bras even more at times, and my girls nagged me to high heaven( I bet I may even be bigger than you) but it's the best thing I ever did. The shape is so much better. I got the cheapest, I think they may be a fiver now. I learned a good lesson too. Don't pay extra for the pretty pattern ones they have a seam and are nowhere near as good.
Hi Kirsty. Great suggestion about the Asda bras. I have actually tried them. In our store they are 3 for £20 or single one for £5. Too much padding for me when I already have an abundance of natural padding lol. Understand what you mean though about them being great value. Have a fab holiday. Much love Jane x
So glad you are back to group ❤ Now have a fantastic week and enjoy getting back to normal (whatever the new normal is ) 😊
I’m thinking Susan, if the world can have a new normal, maybe we can all claim to be living our own normal life and stop judging each other. Variety is the spice of life and you always seem to do you and encourage others along the way. Hope all is moving in the right direction for you. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
I use balsamic vinegar and balsamic syrup (not sure it's the correct word) as salad dressing. I have also thinned hummus with plant milk and some water.
Good luck on your journey we are all with you and on the same journey.
Hi Jane glad you have gone back to group and you enjoyed it, I can see a difference in you happy jane is back have a great week, xx
Bless you love. Thanks for being there every week. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
So glad you went back to group Jane nice to see you excited about the plan again 😀 I will be trying the coconut milk you mentioned as I've been trying to find a milk to add to my coffee that isn't sweet or dairy so thank you for the recommendation good luck for the week ahead fingers crossed for a loss for you remember it works if you work it and I'll see you next week 😊 x
What a lovely encouraging comment. I’m glad I had the sense to go back and I hope to be a regular attendee from now on. I love this plan, it has inperfections, but then don’t all diets? The coconut milk is awesome. By far the best one I’ve ever purchased and I’m going to stick with it and hope that in time other supermarkets will stock it. It’s one of those plant based milks that goes in coffee and tea and I don’t think many of them do. I gave some to a friend in her coffee and she didn’t even notice it wasn’t cow’s milk. Well, she drank her coffee without complaint. Stay safe. See you soon. Jane x
Good to see you Jane on with the plan ,what I find best for my journey is that I keep my plate very simple ,add what I like best ,but stay away from artificial things ,so I go for fresh herbs ,lemon and so on ,good luck dear Jane and Joe take care
Some very good and positive ideas in your comment. Much appreciated and thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. I love to hear from other people who value simplicity. Much love Jane x
Hi Jane! I do hope you know how much I appreciate you sharing your journey through your ups and downs with us. It makes it all so real and helps me to remember that this is a journey through not a journey to, if you know what I mean. A continuous journey without a destination I guess is what I mean. It is great to see you back in a positive mindset and that you are working hard against going into the dieting mentality which is so easy to do when our weight is up. Kudos to you! Thanks again and greetings to Joe. God bless! 🥰
hi Barbara. I like that, going through is better than going to. It certainly is a journey and hey, we all have the same destination! I was thinking about you the other day. I found a new channel to me on RUclips. It’s from North East Pensylvania. It’s the Veggie Boys. A large family of vegetable farmers and they’re lovely guys and gals. Have you come across it? Sending lots of love and good wishes. Blessings Jane x
I have not seen them but I will definitely take a look. Thank you! I look forward to your next video update. Take care dear. 🥰
hi Jane and Joe , another lovely chat and information about food items to buy . I must look out for the coconut milk . Yes , I agree it's not about getting from A to B , it needs to be an enjoyable journey, no end but a continuum . And not seeing it as a diet but a lifeplan that fits into daily life without pressure or inconvenience . If it is too restrictive it will not last . Going to group made a difference too. enjoy your weekend xx
I absolutely love this comment. You say everything I intend to and you say it very well. I’m glad group is back and I’m going to go every Friday for the sake of my sanity. Bless you many times over for this comment. Much love Jane x
Ahhh it’s lovely to see you Jane!! I can see a glint in your eye and you’re back and seem happy in your place. 🤗 l m up and down calorie counting with nutracheck check app and must say enjoying but l m just not consistent 🤷🏻♀️. My own fault totally but we go on don’t we?!
Stay safe love to Joe see you next week Ally xxx
I think consistency is what a lot of us are finding difficult. Calorie counting works, but you have to be on top of it all the time. SW does allow more flexibility as you can eat Free food guilt free if you have a hungry head on. Do you watch Shell? She vlogs as Beanfeast 57 I think. She’s doing great with a calorie counting app but it’s not the one you use. Give her a look if you don’t watch her already. She is another blind vlogger and very nice lady. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
@@JaneDay thanks so much Jane will look for that one. See you soon xx
What groups do you do my mum has one in the royal British legion in Clifton on Wednesday
Good luck Jane onwards and upwards - weight downwards ! ☺☺
Weight downwards would be good! I’ve nothing to lose on this plan but weight. Thank you for your kind words. Much love Jane x
Great news me too !!!xx
The Janes have it! Well done, we did the right thing. I would love to hear how you enjoy your group in the coming weeks. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
A bit emotional Jane, I think I'm right in saying that? I'd a lump in my throat listening to you. I'm so glad you bit the bullet. Already I can see you're in the right frame of mind now. I never knew what IMAGE stood for!! It's roasting here too, I can't handle the heat at the moment. Thanks so much for the mention last wk! I went puce! Left a message for you. Shoulder to the wheel this week for you and me! Much love jx
Hey Joan. My emotions are all over the place at the moment. I’m up at the moment but it doesn’t take much to rock my boat! The heat is so draining. We walked 5 miles at noon and I now understand the song..... Mad dogs and Englishmen lol! We may have to curtail our walks a bit as I’m getting fried. Sorry I didn’t respond quickly to your previous message, I had read it but it was very late at night. Does puse suit you lol? You are such a fabulous support on my channel and I didn’t think you would mind me highlighting your comment. You’re a ‘diamond’. Stay safe. Much love Jane x
❤❤❤👍
