Just be careful as once you stop the injections its likely to put on weight again. @Wood-Nymph is right in saying slowly losing the weight is the best way. A strong will is also required . @Bustywife01

She has changed her diet and isn’t eating nearly as much as she was before she started, she does have strong will power, so hopefully the weight will stay off

I am on the injections for the diabetes (i would not have qualified for it if it wasnt for that as my bmi was lower than would qualify) and it is a very low dose. They have left it as it is as they dont want me to lose much more and i think they will keep me on it because of the other benefits such as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

It is that magic time of year where we get a couple sunny and warm days and then multiple rain days . My wife wanted another bush for the front yard and there was only one place it would fit . So I have been re edging the front lawn . It involves removing some sod , then cutting the new edge and moving the border edging . Then the real fun begins , digging up the red cinders and underlayment fabric , removing weeds and grass . Anyway on days it is not pouring I have been working right along . I made good headway in three out of the last seven days . Plus have been getting the old body to do a bit of physical work , hurts so good . Yesterday at the grocery store I was chatting up the lady in front of me at checkout . She was probably 15 to 20 years my senior and her hair was done , wearing a snappy sharp looking outfit and nice jewelry . I complimented her and asked her if she remembered back when people dressed nice for shopping or an airline flight ? We discussed how people have slid down to going out in sleepwear and dirty sweats . She seemed to appreciate the compliment and cheered her up some . BTW , she was the last person of many I made smile or laugh at the store . Be happy and nice !

Coincidentally we’re having similar weather here in England. Had an uncomfortably hot heatwave followed by much cooler showery weather this last 2 weeks. I know the gardens need it but could do without all the rain! Planted some sunflowers i grew from seed, and am currently bringing on some lupins i grew from seed before I decide where to plant them!

@WillC , yes my vegetable garden started well and then too many clouds and rain , the only two things really growing well are my tomatoes and my potatoes . I also need a break in the rain , I bought a drip irrigation I wish to install for the upcoming hot and dry weather . I could use several hired hands to get everything done around my yard and garden . But just an elderly broke down old man .

I prefer to do what I am capable of myself, as it’s very satisfying to see the results of my own hard work. It irritates me to see on local Facebook pages fit young people asking people to mow their lawns cos they can’t be bothered and basically saying we don’t want to pay much for the job!

Had the dreaded MOT done today, and it passed just the normal rust on springs and subframe.
And suspension arm pin or bush worn.
I shall get this done
probably in a couple of months.

Seeing YouTube footage from last night of Rush’s first live gig in over 10 years since the death of legendary percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart. The new female drummer killed it. It really brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.

Who cares but it was tremendous, probably the most tremendous sloppy fart, ( and he knows more than anyone about tremendous sloppy farts ), the White House has ever seen.
Tremendous.
bought myself a new laptop, smaller faster and just generally much easier to use but mostly so I can use the forum properly

Definitely got to get yourself a good laptop for the LH site and forum.
Yikes! I feel for ya.
Now I can’t complain anymore, things are good but back when I was married to my 1st wife, she literally would have us (read ME) re-arrange our yard.
She’d have me take out bushes, plants and such and re-plant them in another area of our yard.
I likened it to when she wanted to rearrange the furniture in rooms in our house. She literally had us to do it to the yard itself.
