Hi cmum
Take no notice of him… I am at mums next week but is it ok if we postpone meeting up I am not sure how bad she has hurt herself.. can perhaps meet up next time I am up if that’s ok with you? Would be lovely to put a face to a name…
Although I can’t call you cmum to your face that would be too weird…2 mums is one to many LOL
Aud
Morning all,
Thanks for all your support, I have been struggling a little but thanks to a successful fast I am joining jean in the 2lb loss dance!
Ginette you know how to contact me if you need support, but you can do this I just think we have got a little fed up and both have lost our way a little bit… together we are stronger my friend, we can do this …. be mindful for the next couple of weeks until your kitchen is sorted out and then perhaps start a new, set a target for Christmas or the new year. ..
Off to the van tomorrow I am ready for a break…
Have a good weekend all
Audrey
Morning All,
Lovely and bright here rain arriving pm.
We have decided to go to a local yearly caravan show, showing the seasons new caravans but we won’t be buying. Just a walk around and a bit of stepping. Break the day up.
Audrey..
Really pleased for you 2 lbs off a good FD paid off. A very happy dance from us…Have a rest up in the caravan but stay mindful like us, although taking a bottle of wine I may not open it.
After our feast day yesterday, was it worth it No both feel grotty this morning. I have had half a grapefruit for breakfast and I really didn’t want it. Steve said never again!
I think eating healthy is now throwing our body into a wobble on unhealthy food!! Sugar spike!
Ginette …
What can we do to help you? you are busy and upside down at home maybe when it’s all sorted like Audrey said maybe it will get you back in a routine.
Draw a line and try for your next FD we all have these days. Our feast day was good but really not worth it today to how we feel. We should maybe just have a normal NFD!
Cmum..
Just continue fasting igore your OH, you are doing well and for yourself..😀..I never feel tired but I do struggle sleeping on a FD night, but it’s worth it to loose weight.
You have loads to do helping your daughter, little ones no wonder you are tired and not sleeping, it’s worry! Hope it’s soon sorted.
Have a good weekend everybody…speak later
Jean X
Ginette..
Not tempted to another caravan nothing rang the bell!
Hope you find Pam a bit better, only have a small piece of pie!!
We are away early in the morning back Wednesday a bit of a rest. Weather is supposed to be good but I hope not too hot. We have a couple of hours drive.
Hoping to pop by if we have Internet.
Xx
Hi Jean and Audrey
I am off to Pam’s in a minute, we are going shopping hoping that it is quieter in the supermarket after 4. Bacon sandwiches for breakfast, melon for lunch, and pie and chips I imagine for dinner. I shall swerve Pam towards healthy foods if I can but get her to buy herself some treats, ones that I don’t like (not much that I don’t though).
I will be on here less as I shall be with Pam more.
I hope everybody else is doing ok.
Hey guys
Not even going to talk about how I feel I just wanted to wish Audrey, Jean and Kay a very happy break. Although for Audrey it’s more like make the best of it <3
Hope everybody is doing well. Fast day tomorrow. NOT looking forward to it

PS: Minols, do you not share ‘the boy’s’name on purpose, otherwise I’s really like to know =)
Audrey
I didn’t realise it was your mum not far from me that was injured. No problem, we can meet up another time just hope shes alright. I’m going away on the 20th Sept for nearly 3 weeks but so anytime either side of thoes dates.
I’m Carol. I became caspersmum when I had a great Dane called Casper. He passed several years ago now. It was so upsetting I wont have another dog hence my 2 cats.
Saw your post about Charlotte covered in paint. Children and paint don’t mix. When my daughter was young she bit into a tube of superglue and got all over her. I had to take her A&E because one hand was stuck to her forehead and the other stuck to her stomach which was stuck to itself. Was very traumatic.
Still feeling very tired. Im hoping its because of my sleep problems. Will have to try and sort it out some how.
Rainy day here and I cant be bothered doing anything so I wont.
Have a good day.
Carol.
Hi all
We are not going to the van after all… my back is still a bit sore and we both think it would be too much travelling for me.
So Ian is going to pop down and check its ok cut the grass and come home…I am resting up ready for mum…
Hope my camper friends have a good time… Jean have a glass for me tomorrow night…
Cmum it’s good to meet you Carol. .
Audrey
Carol…
I could quite fancy a river cruise I have been looking at them for a couple of years…maybe one day.
Your tour sounds very different, it’s nice getting away from the usual holidays. You will have to tell us what you think when you are back.
Audrey..
Sorry to hear your backs troubling you again. I must admit Steve’s not too good either, ok but not good. You will have to take it easy at Mums she usually gets you doing all sorts and I think the garden is out of bounds!
I think the wine is stopping at home…thinking on that one not decided yet!
Take Care
Jean x
HOpe everyone enjoys their breaks, and behaves themselves! I know what you mean, Jean, about feast days not being as enjoyable…just need to remember how I feel afterwards before I start!.
Vi – the boy is Calum, but he’s usually referred to as ‘the boy’…don’t ask me why! It might be because i’m terrible with names, and often get my husband’s and the boy’s names mixed up – generally call my husband ‘darlink’…terrified I’ll confuse his name with an ex-boyfriend! But here, I’ve picked up the shorthand of others, and he is becoming OH.
Anyway, as long as I sleep well tonight, I’ll be fasting with you tomorrow.
Mx
Hi Nini – draw a line under the past. What’s done is done. Try not to beat yourself up about it, we’ve all done it, but today is a new day. If you can fast today, do so, and those of us for whom this is our normal day will check in every now and again to encourage you…and keep ourselves going, too!
Good luck!
Mx
Morning All,
Just a quickie to say …all stay strong and on course…have good FDs and stay mindful.
Audrey hope your back eases up soon, Steve is not so bad today or so he says!
Nini as Minols said draw the line and try again when you can fit a FD in. It does get easier.
Minols ..
We are fasting today instead of Monday thought it a good day while travelling.
Ginette..
Hope you are feeling stronger, see how you go.❤️
Hoping to pop by but not as much depending on wifi and on phone…see you all Wednesday.
Jean X
Morning all
Feels very strange I had got myself ready to go to the caravan but now not going. .. I overdid things yesterday trying to be superwoman cleaning ironing cooking etc and now set myself back again!
Hope everyone is ok, will be back in touch later, have a good Sunday and happy traveling to those out and about
Audrey
H Carol
Nice to meet you. Your tour sounds interesting, are these places you have been to before?
Nini
I agree draw a line under it and move on.
Hi Audrey
Sorry you aren’t well enough to go, it is important that you get better though.
Hi Mino
Are you keeping away from that cupboard. Anything tempting around us isn’t good. I went shopping yesterday, I normally do an online shop, being in an actual shop meant I bought a lot more things that pin I wanted most of them bad for me.
Oh Jean
No wine, why don’t like try schler I know that spelling isn’t right, the one that Hemmy used to dink. Looks like a hot one next week, enjoy it as we must be coming to an end of it. Weather report below.
Hi Vi
You don’t sound too good, a new day is usually better, believe me we all have bad days.
Hi Jean
Glad you arrived safe and sound. Is the site where you have to go up the hill to get a signal?
Audrey
It must feel really strange, a bit of an anti climax I think. I heard from Fran, remember her on the other thread. She was the one who ate all the cheese 🙂 she has just had her gastric band fitted and will fill me in later, she says every day when she weighs she loses 2lbs. I hope she can have her other ops. I’m not sure if anybody else here knows her. I just thought you would like an update, she lives in Canada.
Hi All,
Just had a walk out to a cafe at a woodland centre… Really lovely cakes but we said NO, just a coffee.
FD gone really good today, just finished our lamb chops and salad really lovely it hit the spot, I put half an apple and half a peach in the salad..ummm ummm. Lush.
Ginette..
We are at a different site in Northamptonshire although we are supposed to be in Lincolnshire ..lol.. We can get a signal and wifi. Nice site.
I like proper wine I did try what Hemmy drank wasn’t for me.
Hope you are doing ok today, and you have Pam sorted.
Audrey..
Rest up before mums. Really don’t be doing gardening for her or you will be laid up again.
Hope the fasters are doing well, that’s us for today all good. 😀
Vi..Lynda,
Hope you are both feeling a bit better today.
KT..
Draw a line, tomorrow’s another day, go back to the book read up see if it can motivate you. It did me..
Jean x
Hi Jean – glad your FD has gone well – now tuck up in the van away from temptation!
Survived the lure of the biscuit cupboard today. And the OH is away for part of this week, so I’ll give myself children’s portions with the boy, and enjoy fun food but in small amounts!
The new week starts tomorrow – full of possibilities, and we can forget what’s gone before and start afresh, eh?!
Mx
Hi Nini
Don’t beat yourself up. We have all had ups and downs. The beauty of the 5:2 is if you have a bad day move on and try again. It gets easier.
Keeptrying
Im a binger and have had bad days myself recently but I wont beat myself up about it and will just keep trying until my heads in a better place. It is doable so just start every day fresh.
Minols
Well done on resisting the biscuits. I’m going to try and get back to more sensible eating this next week. Well that’s the plan. FD tomorrow for me.
Hi KT
Believe me I know the problem, stress is sometimes a trigger so you need to work out a way to get out of this spiral, start to have good days, then more good days than bad and you will see it will right itself in time.
Hi CMum
As with KT you are tight with people like us, we can’t dwell on it just put it behind us.
Hi Jean
Weren’t you good no cake, the walk sounded nice.
Fast day for me today.
Hi Audrey
Remember not too much gardening, you need to look after yourself.
Coffee
We haven’t seen you in a while is all ok, please don’t just disappear. Xx
Hi All
I’m pleased to say I gave the soupmaker out. Just making some courgette and tomato soup. I’ll let you know how it turns out. 93 calories fir a big bowlful. I love my soupmaker. I put my recipe in my fitness pal for future use if I like it, oh……excitement I can here it pinging to say it is finished. 21minutes abs also reduced courgettes!! Great, I think they were 12p for three and I have another packet of them if I like it.
I know it is going to be boiling hot this week but it is cool today.
Hey guys
Fasting going well, still feeling very bad
KT<
Forgive yourself and start over with a clean slate. I am not an emotional eater or binger, but I do tend to eat more when I’m in a lot of pain, so I sort of know where you’re coming from.
Ginette
enjoy the soup, I like Miso myself or chicken
Audrey
Take it easy and feel better
Jean
Enjoy our holiday and don’t worry about the calories (Did you bring the scales this time, too/ 😛 )
Minols
Callum is such a cute name =)
Today spiralized veggies with tomato sauce from a packet( I know, bad!, but I can’t do my own cooking. and some goat’s cheese

Hi all
Very quiet on here hope everyone is ok.
I am going bed now had a good fast day looking forward to crumpets tomorrow. .. going to get food shop in for mum tomorrow will try to keep it pretty healthy. I am making a rhubarb and summer fruit whip to take with me no cream cakes this visit although we are having lunch out on Friday…
Talk again tomorrow night all
Audrey
Good fast day but was called to my daughters house because she was sick with a tummy bug and unable to look after her baby and 2 yrs old. Lots of vomiting and runs which made it difficult to breast feed her baby. Poor girl, this along with everything else she’s had going wrong. I really hope the baby doesn’t get it as it would be very poorly. Hope she feels better tomorrow.
Hope everyone is doing fine.
Morning All,
A better bright day today.
We are going to Rutland Water this morning a large lake/reservoir, maybe an ice cream.
Cmum…
Sorry to hear about your daughter everything is going wrong for her.hope she soon feels better.
Ginette..
Enjoy your soups, I like them in hot weather.
Audrey..
Safe journey to mums and take it easy watch the gardening.
I must have a go at your rhubarb recipe.
Vi..
No scales with me, weigh in Friday.. Hope you soon feel better.
Anna..
Good luck on the move.
KT..
Hope you are keeping it together.
Minols..
Hope the biscuits are in the tin!!
Have a good day

Hi Vi
I hope you are feeling better today.
Hi Audrey
Glad to see you are making your rhubarb whip again. Hope you find your Mum well.
Carole
Your daughter does seem to be having a difficult time of it, reviving from one thing and then getting another. I hope the baby’s ok, no fun for a two year old to get either. Keeping you busy.
Hi Jean
Enjoy you day out, overcast here but very warm. I only eat tgem in the winter, my Favorite is the mix from Aldi with parsnips.
Hi Danni
Sometimes you get a better loss on week two, if you don’t have much to lose that is still good. A lot of us here with a fair bit to lose would be happy with that.
Crash diets aren’t good so although they might show a bigger loss you can put this straight back on.
Hi Bigbooty
Yes that is a good loss overall.
Morning All,
Grey day but very warm.
Packing up and on our way home about 10am. It has been a lovely break and quite relaxing. Lovely area we both would like to come back.
Sorry you have had not been to sleep Ginette you sound very much like Steve, I don’t know how you both cope with it I would be so ratty I love my 8 hours (9 hours last night) sleep.
He is on different meds, painkillers, and I think that causes it.. He should try and wean off some, I just don’t take tablets I know sometimes you just have too.
Good luck on the plasterer and there’s not too much mess, it will look nice when he’s finished then the painting can start again.
Safe journey Audrey. Hope mums much better and watch your back.
Speak later
Jean X
Hi Jean
Lovely that it was relaxing and Steves back held out. I suppose the roads will be busy with people returning to get children back to school. I can’t say that I am sorry they have gone back. It has been really noisy here lately. Peace reigns now……
I normally have a sleep in the chair when I gave had a really bad night.
He says he will be finished by 2, so not too bad.
Meds can be really bad for causing other problems, they help some and cause others. I have to take them, no choice. Epilepsy ones I have had since I was 6. Blood pressure a few years now as well although increased in the last couple of years.
I don’t wake up in a bad mood as some people do but when lack of sleep kicksin after a few nights I find it hard to function.
Meant to be a warm one today……
Hi Audrey
I hope you find your Mum well, I’m sure she will look forward to seeing you. Plasterer said there won’t be too much mess, most of the doors closed and things in the kitchen covered.
Have a good journey xx
