@tillysmum is Tilly feeling any better? I’m very sad to hear she is continuing to have trouble and throwing up. Please keep us posted. We hope she is well soon. 💛✨

Day 26 / UK / NFD (CD)
April is just too busy for its own good! Tomorrow it’s market day on campus and I have made an executive decision: instead of my customary soup I will treat myself to lunch and it is likely to include dessert. Unless I will be so snowed under at work that I completely forget about it I’d feel deprived and I can always fast next Wednesday when there is no market day–even though that won’t count towards April anymore 😉
Thank you @okeydokey she is much better had a small meal and keeping it down, drinking plenty of water and currently sleeping like a baby!! Well she is the only baby I have after all.
Day 25 Florida USA FD The way I did it today I don’t recommend. I had a light breakfast, so far so good. Then for my only other meal I had a 3pm lunch which brought me up to 400 calories. I’m feeling very hungry now and however I use that last 100 will still leave me hungry at bedtime, I expect. It works better when my 2 meals are around 8am and 5pm. Lesson learned. I weigh in on Thursday. Not hopeful as my loss has been glacial this time around, that’s why I’m in the group. Need to believe- I’ve done it before and can do it again!
Luck to all. 👍🏻
Day 26 – Melbourne – FD
@onahealthyhigh – very glad to hear that you got rid of the unwanted guests! I last had them quite a few years back, at Mitcham during something of an epidemic, and I was a bit nervous that we might be in an epidemic of the little trouble-makers again. Now we are a bit further east and so far haven’t had any.
Have had a good b2b and feel able to add another today, so I’m adding myself to the pocket, for extra inspiration!

@ciren2 – I feel your disappointment: after a recent slump I got somewhat disheartened/nervous. I hope you can do whatever is necessary to take any pressure off yourself, as it can be demotivating. Remembering that it is a lifestyle choice that might ebb and flow – you are still doing ‘something’ to help yourself stay healthy and that’s what will make the difference over time. I will be keen to hear how it goes, whenever you check in, and sending as much positive vibe as possible to you.
@biddiev I’m in Caulfield. A visit to the local Woolies confirmed there’s a plague here. Rats also, but I’ve only seen evidence outside thankfully. I’m putting it down to the torrential rain we’ve been having driving them inside. I do hope you stay plague free they’re difficult little blighters to get rid of. Found a new little ‘parcel’ since I posted this morning! Hopefully it’s one I missed during the clean up.

@tillysmum – glad Tilly is in the mend.
@fatrabbit – you are doing so well so quickly. Maybe time to start reconsidering your handle – @slimbun? @superrabbit?
Day 26 NFD Oman
@songbirdme…sorry for your loss.
Doing 16:8 today
Day 26 UK FD 🌈
Going to carry on with my FDs as only have today and tomorrow to make a difference, looking like if I can just get back to start weight as of this month (oops)that will be good. Feels good to eat less after my over indulgence at Easter.
Be good people, last few days. Trying to end on a high!

Day 26 Belfast FD
@mogaman, I love you description of your loss – “glacial” is such a great description of more journeys than your own! I’m sorry I identify with that!
Joining the list. Why will my iPad not copy and paste? Ah well, will just have to type it. Hope I’ve got it right.

Debster251 I know ! It’s a nightmare trying to copy and paste ,I’ve found for some reason if you press down on the text not the list it makes it a bit easier – but you have to remember to delete I once stole someone’s post for the day, glad you have fond memories of the Lido it’s been in a terrible state for a while but due to reopen this year.
Ciren2 Feel for you,stay strong we’ll support you ❤️

Can’t believe I’ve had to catch up on so many days! :/
Work has been busy but I’m getting to the last bit of my project now – thank GOD. It’s been a long slog.
Yesterday’s fast was probably the best so far. I wasn’t madly hungry, I didn’t get a headache, and I even managed to go to the gym to do some light upper body weight stuff. I’m hoping that now I can do more exercise the weight will come off a little quicker – but still seems to be a steady 0.2kg or so per week.
Day 26, London, UK, FD (2nd of B2B)
I had an ok FD yesterday although when I found I had 120 cals ‘spare’ I set out to find something to eat although I wasn’t actually hungry!!!! Hello Lindt hazelnut choc……1 square is 90 cals…………… so of course I had 2!!!!
Self sabotage – 1 : Self control – 0
Oh well, today is another day and a FD at that!!! Stay strong everyone, the finish line is in sight………. well until the May challenge starts anyway!!!!!
Day 26, Newcastle UK, FD
“Ability is what you are capable of doing
Motivation determines what you do
Attitude determines how well you do it”
I have repasted @at‘s last quote because, along with our Pocketeers list, that is how I got through yesterday’s FD. For some reason I found it really hard going but refused to give in. Today will be successful too.
It seems that many of us on this April challenge have had a strange month for one reason or another. We’ve had our ups and downs, slips and blips, joyful times and sad times and it sounds like there are quite a few of us who will be happy if we simply stay the same weight we were when we started the month. However, I’m not feeling down about this at all. I have asked myself – ‘where would I be now if I hadn’t joined the April challenge – or the February/March challenges for that matter’. The answer is that I would be feeling very unhappy, hopeless and lonely – and easily a stone heavier than I am now!.
My friends on this forum have literally changed my life for the better. So for anyone who is doubting whether they should be part of the May challenge – ask yourself how you will feel if you don’t.
@skinnylove – you have made a very sensible decision re lunch. You are listening to what your mind and body are asking for right now. By being in control and making a decision you are giving your sceptical sub conscious the right message. You are in control and will decide when you fast or otherwise. Enjoy lunch, you deserve it.
@jarbia – great to hear you’re on the up. I look forward to seeing you in the May challenge.
@debster251 – yes, the trick to copying and pasting the pocketeers list is to copy a line of text above the names and then remember to delete that line of text – unless you wish to keep it in.
Have a great day one and all – and thanks for your friendship and support.
Day 26, Belfast, FD
Another FD today to try and eliminate the damage done over Easter. From reading these posts I realise I’m not alone with this issue! I’ll put myself on the pocketeers list for some extra ooommpphh!! It’s strange, but on NFDs I think I obsess more about food than on FDs, probably because I’m ‘allowed’ to have some… so it seems to be a constant presence. Must try and see if I can shake that. Proper meal planning might help. Good luck everyone.

Day 26 Maine NFD
Good morning all – another rainy day – dreary! Wanted to get out in the garden… not today! Too wet to even bundle up for a walk – maybe later.
Pretty good NFD yesterday – not weighing myself till after tomorrow’s fast. Watched dr. Oz this morning on diabetes…my biggest fear & motivator. His diabetes diet has 6 small meals a day. I have never been successful sticking to that. The 5/2 has really been the easiest WOE I’ve ever attempted – planning on this being my WOL for the duration. Good tips, tho, for mindful NFD eating plan. Protein, fiber, healthy fats, low sugar fruit.
@okey-dokey – I join those in thanking you for your exceptional leadership this month. Truly an amazing amount of work & the best cheerleader we could ask for! We so appreciate you!
Now to getting something productive done – forced to stay inside, but there are many cabinets I can organize! Need to feel like I’ve accomplished something at the end of the day!
Make it a great day everybody – feel proud!
