Morning all
Ian back at work tonight, he doesn’t want a fast day… has been sulking so will do a fast tomorrow instead… it’s my birthday next week and we are out for a family meal on Sunday so fasting for the next few weeks as we are on holiday soon is going to be hard..
I may be missing for a while as we have lots going on, it’s a special number for me this year, but will pop by when I can
Love to all

Good afternoon FB Brits hope all is well with you and yours. Xx
A big change in the weather the last few days. Such a shame love those hot hazy days. I reckon you can always find some shade if needed.Lol.
Its been a busy time though … now I am at long last back out in the world as such .. there doesn’t seems enough hours. I am loving interacting again .. found my old confidence.. humour and inquisitiveness back again at long last. Thought it had gone for good.
Everyone else seems busy too … its the time of year … Finding 16-8 working so well .. weight really stable
Must say on an odd morning of having breakfast … have felt really hungry again by noon. Just having the usual massive coffee go to 1pm easily . Weird.
For those struggling … try some 800 days mini fasts … it gets you back on track gently.
Take care all whatever you are doing today. Xx
Brit lovelies..
Be happy when you’re happy, and sad when you’re sad, and don’t apologize for either. You are who you are and it’s a beautiful thing. Xx
Hemmy…
It’s really lovely you are feeling more yourself and you now finding yourself busy…a long time in a dark place but sun of life is now shining…
Looks like we are in for mixed weather for the month not a good July.
Must admit now as I am getting older it’s a thing which frightens me…the world is a lonely place when you loose your soul mate…when all the young ones are all busy at work and getting on with their own lives..
Lovely your weights stable, I am up and down a pound but still maintaining…put a few extra FD’s in to loose what I put on with visitors…so back where I want to be now..feel really good like you in my 12 jeans, my tops a mixture of 12/14 depending which shop I buy from. Back to my pre pregnancy weight it’s only taken 45 years..lol..😂
Love todays quote …taking Steve for a walk around the village trying to strengthen his legs..

Sym and DF.. Xxxx
It is oh so very hard making a new life when you have been part a loving caring partnership for so long. A second time around as they say. Lol. You have seen all the mistakes and this second time is sooo very precious.
As my 91 year old Mum is wise enough to say.. ” things change but life needs to go on”.
Found after 5 years a life for me again. Happy.. carefree …optimistic again.
After saying that … just came back from some relatively new neighbours in the village … and they are so happy … remind me of times gone by… just retired . She was making jam… he was painting…. For once I don’t feel sad … just enjoyed seeing their happiness.
Came away with Jams … plums.. And a new Country Living Mag. So thrilled I have met them and can also help them.
That what’s life is all about… changing lifestyle at times… and helping each other. Like we do here. Xxxx
Aud.. there is not a truer inspiration than yourself. You have been through horrendous pain and just kept on going and doing. Xxxx
We are all going through different stages of our life and we are all going to get there because.. WE ARE FAT BUSTING BRITS and together … WE ARE STRONGER.
We can all do this girls. Xx
Ps… The other week-end .. Kristy brought back a couple of bottles of champagne.. remnants of Glastonbury… So after reading a lovely little book which said… don’t save champagne for another day. I am just going to open one and not be sad that I am alone but glad I am not sharing it . Lolol Xx
Morning all
Woke up to wonderful news – my new nephew has arrived! My brother lives in Torquay so I won’t see the little one for a few weeks. We’re going down there in the last week of August.
Tipping it down again here. Sick of the rain and need some sun now.
FD for me.
Just getting to go to the docs for my MOT. Hope there’s nothing to be concerned about.
I had one of those MOTs – it was fine (they didn’t ask about my alcohol consumption though!) Fast Day here too. I’ve got some chickpea curry left over from last night so I’m having that for lunch. I haven’t calculated the calories but it’s only chickpeas, tomatoes, onion and spices so it can’t be too high…
Morning all
I have had a good workout already this morning I have steamed the kitchen.. 60 mins but looks lovely and clean now, Ian said I have cleaned up for you, bless he hadn’t dusted or wiped any surfaces, he had vacuumed up is what he meant…
I am on sausage casserole today made with healthy sausages… bit of a change for a fast day, I also need to drink more water so I am going to try to up my intake today..
Will be back later have a great day everybody fast or non fast

Morning All..
Everybody up early this morning….sunny here at moment…
Laughing at all the drinking last night I was cheering you on with a glass of milk…one has to be good and lead the way….lol
FD for us today…Sir would like lambs chops so that what’s he’s having with salad…
Rowena..
Good luck on your MOT it will be fine…congratulations on your new little one..
Audrey…
Steve and Ian sing off the same hymn sheet…a quick blast of the hoover and it’s all done…We wish..😂..
Hemmy…
Must buy some more cider but I really like it when it’s hot outside…or even caravanning..I am really pleased you are in a good place….it does take time…
Few of us fasting today…let’s make it a good one….
Looking forward to eating tomorrow …a Curry night I really fancy one with wine….a rhubarb crumble is also calling made one for Katie but we were full up so froze it…it’s sitting defrosting…😂
Have a good day….a top up shopping day for us…as eating out the freezer…
Jean x
Hi DF I too am struggling so you are not alone.
I have made a pan full of stewed fruit and have had a big dish of it to try to stave off my hunger.. think it’s because I have been off piste for a few days..
Stay strong we can do this one together… because together we are stronger…
Keep in touch..
Aud x
Half way through…just having a cuppa…ok at the moment….thinking of food a lot…lol
We have bought the lamb chops for this evening with salad stuff…
Change of plan pasties tomorrow from the freezer, don’t want them to get frost bite….2 freezers are going down nicely….going on holiday in September so would be nice to be empty ish and defrost them…ready for the winter cooking and filling.
Settling down for a bit of reading…a lazy day….raining quite heavy at the moment….no gardening….grass needs cutting..!
Weigh in tomorrow morning….🤞
Fruit sounds good Audrey….keep going DF…
Keep strong everyone.

Hi DF and Jean,
at farmfoods at the moment they are selling bags of fruit on a deal I think it’s 3 for £2. so I have stocked up with summer fruits and blueberries and have frozen rhubarb, cherries and strawberries myself and still have some plums and blackberries from last year in my freezer so I stew a mix of them altogether and add sweetener to taste…very low calorie very filling and as a bonus keeps me going to the loo!
I do add a spoonful of fat free yoghurt occasionally as a treat..we like to eat it this way instead of a calorific pudding after our evening meal.
May be worthwhile giving it a go?
Stay strong everyone not long now..😉..
Audrey x
Good idea..will wait for freezer to empty…really good when no fruit about in winter…could have a squirty cream on, no too many calories not keen on yogurt…
Must admit getting a bit hungry now…3 hours until we eat….
2 x b2b our second week for us ….only doing it for a few weeks see how we go…
Come on girls we can do it…..
Xx
Hey.
Dad just called to invite us to his at 6 for a drink to cheers the new member of our family. Can’t really not just cos I’m on a FD!! I’ll still try to keep cals down today.
Had a bit of fun earlier paintng a greyhound cartoon type face onto a bit pebble. Niece and I did a cat yesterday that we found on pinterest so I thought I’d try a greyhound! Looks so cute. Also did more on the painting my bro asked me to do. Looks great from a distance but I’m not happy with close up. Will persevere.
Can’t not wet the baby’s head! 🙂
Struggling today – just had to ‘treat’ myself to a couple of sticks of celery – maybe it’s harder as the weather’s not so nice? Went blackberry picking earlier and a few of those found their way into my mouth too – but if it’s bush to gob in under 5 seconds they don’t have any calories – right?
Finished eating now a bit over 550 cals so not so bad…thanks for the banter it does help…
Good luck on your b2b tomorrow Audrey…..enjoy your meal DF…..a long day….
Sally blackberries don’t count if under 5 seconds…lol
Rowena..
It’s a hard one if you have been good all day…….
Have a good evening fasters…
Jean x
Morning Sally
It’s a while since I did a b2b so I will let you know.. I have done lots in the past with Milena as a buddy and we managed them quite well. I don’t remember it being any harder than a normal fast day but I will let you know later lol x
I have to do this as it’s the start of my birthday celebrations tomorrow and it’s going to be very calorific… but looking at the calender I should be able to do another fast on Monday..
Have a lovely day, no sunshine here yet.

Morning all,
Thankfully, I got through my FD yesterday with lots of support from Audrey and Jean, thankyou! It was a tough one for some reason.
Audrey, I know you will get through today fine, your strong!
Just working till lunchtime today, then the afternoon off. Work has quietened off so much since the chaos of Monday, its so weird how that happens.
I was absolutely ravenous yesterday, all day while fasting. Today I can eat, and don’t feel hungry at all yet. Can’t work that out lol.
Have a lovely Friday everyone.
xx
