Hi All,

Seating done, what a brilliant customer service, although the manager didn’t get the e mail we were coming, ( they don’t deal with the public), in about 4 mins it was done and he gave me 6 buttons for back up and shown us how to do it our selves. No charge!

We did go for our meal out, pizza express, half a pizza, a light one?? So I have had breakfast at 6 am, snack at 10 and meal at 1 pm, I have had just 800 calories…so it’s not too bad.

Kay..
A salad when eating out…you must be joking!!😀…Well done on your 2 lbs off. Hope you soon feel better.

Cmum..
Glad the weights decided to move again..well done to you too.

Audrey…
Matching you ….same as Friday’s weigh in this morning. 😀

Anna, Minols..
Have a good FD today..keep drinking the water..

Off to have my toe nails done soon

Hey Minols,

Fasted till 3pm today and I just had a small chicken salad from Tesco’s, 277 cals only. Since it’s my first food of the day it filled me up quickly. I have an evening protein bar treat after I complete my uni work and then it will be bed time, so I don’t have much to worry about. If I follow my plan, food consumption will round up to 500-550. Which is even better than last time, slowly getting into this I feel 🙂 how’s it going for you? I hope everyone is enjoying today, it is so sunny!

hi, kay
I haven’t actually been doing 5:2 since may
I have been doing the blood sugar diet since then – low carb Mediterranean etc

I have just deleted their forum from my favourites as I just cant cope any more with reading about the people – loads and loads and loads of them – who are literally losing stones
like 31 pound in 30 days, 3 stone in 8 weeks etc etc

it just wouldn’t work like that for me

right now I am literally all over the place
scare to almost eat anything at all
I just had milk for breakfast

I don’t know what to do anymore and I feel worn out by it all

KT, please do some research on food before any kind of dieting and do not starve yourself like that. It will only make things worse 🙁 weight loss can take more time or less time according to the person and activity level.

KT
Bless you, I can relate. I had anorexia for 3 years in the beginning of my adulthood, it took a while for me to recover. It switched to binge eating for half a year but I spent time with myself and put recovery as my main focus.
I had to go through years developing a healthy relationship with food before being able to comfortably eat sensibly again. It’s hard… but I think it should become the main focus first before dieting. It’s a bliss to be able to enjoy food and not feel afraid of it.
Hope you feel better <3

Hey Minols! Swimming sounds so much fun 😀 just a little more till the end of the day, you can do iiiit!

if only some of you guys were nearby, then perhaps I would have the courage to dare to go near the swimming pool

there is no way I could go alone, and I don’t have anyone to go with 🙁

minols, how on earth to you cope with swimming and NO food
ugh!!

Near the end of the day! I’ve done my final eating with a total of 640 cals 😛 still not 500 but I’m very happy with myself. Looking forward to having normal portions tomorrow heehee. How’s everyone doing? Minols, you good? 😀

Well done vi and Anna, Minols how are you doing? Hope you managed to stick to liquids…

Ginette, hope you are ok in this hot weather I know it doesn’t suit you..

Going up soon, after all the running round today my back is sore so I will try a soak in the bath. ..

Talk tomorrow, night all

Audrey

Nearly there – will be in bed in half an hour! And actually, once I got past feeding the others, it’s not been too bad. Hungry, tired and light headed at about 5ish, but fine now. Am I allowed to start fantasizing about breakfast now?
Mx

Minols

If you are like me I fantasize about eating whatever is on the adverts on tv keep saying tomorrow I can eat you!! The funny thing is though I am never that hungry when I wake up… let’s hope its the same for you… I am so glad you made it really pleased for you. ..

Night all again

Audrey

Ginette…

You was worrying us…you was very quiet not like you. We did miss you. ☹️

I hope the funeral went as well as they go, I did forget..sorry. It’s always sad, bringing memories back.

Must be a good book if you forgot about us ..lol..lo…

Morning All,

A lovely day again I hope it’s a touch cooler.

A lazy day for us but I am sure I will find some jobs to do. We have had a busy two days, just on the go out of the house.

Vi, Minols and Anna..
Well done on your fasting day yesterday, nice to see you all supporting one another. Hope for some movement in weight for you all.

Audrey..
Hope your back feels better today, don’t do too much. Has all the bruising gone now after your procedure? Has it improved anything or is it too early to say?

I am still holding the same weight as Friday…even after my lunch out, pizza and a wine, yesterday. When are you weighing in?

Have a good fast day…😇

KT..
Hope you are feeling better don’t keep bashing yourself up, be kind to yourself you are worth it 😀

Ginette..
Pop by today…is your book finished it must be good one.

Take care in this heat, it’s very hot in the south.

Lynda..
Hope you are feeling better and your results are back so they can get you sorted.

All for now…have a lovely day what ever you all are doing.

Jean X

Morning all,

Ginette pop in today, we missed you yesterday it’s too quiet without you!

Symba my back is getting slowly better thanks bit I am still black and blue lol

Vi hope you feel better today enjoy your swim.

Anna well done on yesterday,

KT hope you are a bit better today.

Minols I too am a faster! Once I start I can’t stop, it’s a fadt day for me today so I may follow you and go for a liquid only it’s a while since I did one but what the heck if I don’t feel hungry may as well go for it… Good luck for today be warned it’s hard to stop eating once you break the fast….so keep strong..❤

Have a good day all need to go due a phone call from sky any second!

Audrey

Good morning everyone,

Started my morning with my favourite breakfast, eggy porridge P: it keeps me full for ages, relatively low in cal and so high in protein. I beat 40g of porridge with water and two eggs and then cook it till the consistency is right. It’s like custard, yum yum! And about 300 cals. I had it 5 hours ago, and still feeling very satisfied. Got a caramel coffee during my lunch time to feel more awake at work, so warm today and it’s giving me a headache o.o;
I think I will go through the day with drinks till dinner time cause it’s so hot. Looking forward to having a steak and maybe a glass of red wine to keep my nerves down. Uni work is driving me crazy, it’s the only thing I’m thinking of at work. Bad, bad, bad. But just a couple of weeks left!

Good luck to everyone who is fasting today, enjoy the sun and go for a walk if you can. Time will fly by!
It’s nice to hear from you again Ginette, hope you are alright.
Same people fasting this Friday by any chance? 🙂
Speak to you all in the evening.

xxx Anna

Hi ginette,

Don’t forget to add me as a friend on Facebook. ..

I have sat here all morning waiting for a call back from sky tv… we arranged for them to ting at 10. I rang them at 11 and they emailed the lady to remind her to call me. … nope not happening. ..it’s so frustrating and I am on a fast day too! Aargh!

Feel better now I have vented, have a lovely afternoon

I am still sitting, waiting for the phone to ring sigh

Audrey

Audrey…
It’s a pain when waiting for people to get back to you…it never seems to get any better.

Hoping the FD is going good today. You might get a couple of pounds off by weigh in day 😀

My daughter (uk) has just put an offer in for another house this morning at 9 am, the price they asked for…nearly 2 pm and the estate agent can’t get hold of the people to confirm it?? Who in this day and age is not on a mobile. Hope they don’t get in price war! She will be upset.

Ginette..
Nice having you back on line. Looks like another grass cutting day for us, can’t really be bothered a bit too hot….but rain tonight…

Anna…
Never heard of your breakfast…interesting…on line lots with egg whites and porridge….for me more for the winter..

Vi…
Like you I think it sounds hard going doing a liquid FD …I do like some food….it seems too like a diet instead of way of life….unless you are shifting holiday weight….stronger people than me..lol…lol

Minols…
I will be fasting Thursday with you.

Jean x

Hey James. I’m new too, this is my third week. How did your FD go?
PS: I’m from Holland. Feel like an imposter :p

Ginette,
I don’t soak it no 🙂 beating it with a fork with the eggs and water and cooking it in a pot makes it creamy and soak-y enough. Scottish oats are very small anyway so no soaking is needed!.

Jean,
Make sense, as it’s a very warm and filling breaky 🙂 I just find it very suitable for when I have work, because I have my breakfast at 7ish and I want something that will keep me till 12-1pm. Anything else but porridge seems to go through me very quickly :/

Hello James! Good luck with your weight loss. How are you finding it so far?

Vi,
Don’t worry, I’m an imposter too since I’m from Greece 😛 😛 at least we can participate in talking about the weather here haha.

Wow, Greece. that’s so nice. Then you are kind of on a natural Mediterranean diet, huh?
The weather here is actually quite similiar to Britain, so nothing much to talk about, either 😛 lol

Hi all

Day is going ok… just liquids so far… still waiting for my call back now supposed to be 7 tonight….Lolo

Audrey

Hi Audrey

So frustrating waiting in for things when they don’t happen. At least you gor a call back in the end.

Hi Vi

Look up your local library see if the have an online system, I can download taking books and reading books. I often do a jigsaw while listening, this is really relaxing. Both on my iPad.

I like Norah Lofts too. I liked the Lynley mysteries as well. I might give these a go later.

Hi Jean

Pity you need to cut the grass in this heat, Pams will last another few days I hope. I may cut it on Saturday.

Hi Anna

I may try that but as Jean says I will wait until winter, I am really looking forward to starting soup making again. I don’t want to wish summer away to quickly though.

Hi James

Nice to see a new face. The weight loss maybe more than most but I started with 9 stone to lose and I have lost 5. You will soon get into it and then you will probably find it quite addictive, sounds strange I know.

Hi KT

Yes I am trying to keep cool, a few degrees lower would help.

Quick drop in to see if anyone wanted to chum me tomorrow on a FD – notice your offer, Jean! Not sure it’s going to be just fluids – I think I’ll play that by ear and see how I go.
Anyone up for joining Jean and me?
Mx

Audrey…

Well done on your day…265 calories to finish…great going..

When is your weigh in this week?

Xx

Audrey…

Hope something nice on the menu for you..

I have a joint of gammon to cook for dinner with salad for us.

Night night

Jean x
