Thanks Angie, feel free to join us here in recording your journey x

Nika, im not sure if something has happened, or if your quiting 5 2, but i do hope after all your hard work and achivements you will rethink, youve been such an insparation to others here, i hope that you will stick with us, if you need a break for what ever reason come back when you feel ready, i for one will miss you greatly, we are here for you if you need us. thinking of you. xx

Hey fast for life, I’m not quitting completely! I’ve just found that my head isn’t into exercise at the moment, and the dieting is a bit hard as well. But I’ll keep going, at least trying to eat healthy, but throwing exercise onto the pile is a bit too much right now. Got a lot going on, so want to give myself a bit of a break 🙂 Mostly concerned with not gaining now, instead of losing.

hi Nika, i do understand how you feel, i wore myself down by fasting 4 3, swimming twice a week (40 lengths each time) and an hours dance class, plus my fulltime job that was demanding and on my feet rushing around all day, my body dropped the weight but i became very tired, that might not sound like much to some but for me it was a huge change, im really glad your taking time to listen to your body and give it a rest, you know this plan works and can pick back up when you feel ready xx

Hi Rocky, your post on watching football made me both smile and think. Over here, ( England, the British Isles, no longer Great Britain) we play “Football”. You Americans play “American Football”. Two completely different games. You call our game “Soccer”!!!!. Football here is played with a “naturaly” round ball while you have a ball more akin to our rugby ball. Now over here Rugby is played by men “with queer shaped balls”. Similar to your American Footballs. The difference is you throw the ball forward while we throw it backwards while running forwards???.
We all play golf but it was invented in Scotland. Now Sottish men are reputed to be as tight as Yorkshire men, (Where theres muck theres brass) when it comes to giving things away. It is said that a Scotsman, returning home was angry at his wife for giving him a boiled egg for his dinner. He hit the boiled egg (still in its shell) with his upturned walking stick out of the door into the long grass. Not one to throw any thing away he went after it. Could not find it so started to swipe the long grass with his walking stick. He hit the egg out of the grass some 100yds down into the field…Being hungry he ran after it… you get the idea?.
Now we also have Cricket which men at a crease hit a ball thrown at them by the opposing bowler. I know it sounds a bit like your Baseball but it is not. In cricket we have many strange laws, rules and positions. For example, the fielding side positions its players around the “Batsman” who has “strike” at his “wicket”.He hits the ball with his “Bat”. The other “non strike batsman is at the other “wicket 22 yards away down at the other “crease” at the Bowlers end. The “fielders place themselves around the field and near the Batsman who has the “Strike” in positions like, Wicket Keeper, Silly Mid Off, 2nd, 3rd 4th Slip, Long Off,Short Leg, Boundary, etc. The Bowler, throws a variety of balls such as a Googly, Full Toss, Bouncer, Off Spin ,Medium Pace etc. A batsman can be out by being… Clean Bowled, Caught, Run Out or painfully, Leg Before Wicket. But not by being hit in the Googlies by the bowler who has bowled a Googly. The Batsmen, after hitting a ball thrown at them run between wickets and score a “run” or “4” if the ball reaches the “Boundary” If he hits a ball over the boundary without it touching the field of play he scores a Six.. OOH it is sooooo exciting to watch as a game can last 4-5 days. We also have “Real Tennis” but enough is enough, I will save that for another day.
Good luck and best wishes to you and your family.

Very funny post Couscous, thanks.

Currently enjoying the Test Cricket match under way in Sydney between Australia and England. (Was there on Boxing Day at the MCG.)

In Australia, to add to the mix, we also have Australian Rules Football (AFL) which is my personal favourite. We’re known to bet on flies going up a wall in Oz, so I guess it’s no wonder we embrace most sporting codes – though to my knowledge not American Football Rocky. Not yet anyway.

How wonderful to have 5:2 to unite us across the world 🙂

Took me 1 month to lose the weight gained last 2 weeks of Dec due to holiday parties.

Switched to 2:1 since last week to make sure I reach my goal in 3 months.

@rockyromero – Don’t see FEB FFH thread yet. Hopefully you will create by next week.

Have a good one everyone.
