Hi everyone.
Had lovely day yesterday meeting my new nephew.
Today we went to Polperro. One of our favourite places. It was quite a challenge seeing all the pasty shops and fasting. It was even more of a challenge when Craig bought some to take home. All I could smell in the car was deliciousness! !! Raining now so we came back to read. Tomorrow it’s back home but not before going to the masons arms at Branscombe for lunch. Another favourite place! !
Jean, I’m getting a bit hungry now too! We can do this, keep going đ
Geo, we can support each other on FD’s in the office! People are always bringing treats in here, its so tempting lol .. luckily nothing today though đ
Rowena, your doing so well fasting while away, and resisting pastries too! Not sure I could have done that đ
Stay strong everyone x
I’m hungry too and I got very impatient in traffic. Someone decided to come out of a side road after seeing I’m very close on the main road, I used the horn this time, I’m usually very tolerant.
I got a bit light headed too and the realised I didn’t drink much water today.
Not long to go now, we’re almost there!
Geo
Rowena..
You have had a lovely holiday with walks and pub lunches..enjoy tomorrow before you head back home…safe journey …
Geo..
Funny how you can get a bit snappy on a FD…..more water and dinner soon…lol
DF..
Keep strong…are you on your way home yet?
That’s it off to cook now…..I am really ready to eat…
Jean x
I’ve just had my meal too, I had to fight the baby because my plate is always more attractive. Never mind, I finished his plate after he finished mine.
We had caramelised onions with mushrooms on polenta; it’s a favourite of mine but I don’t make it too often because it’s taking so long to cook the onions.
Enjoy your walk, Jean!
Good luck tomorrow, Audrey!
Geo
Morning đ
Well done on the FD yesterday everyone, we made it! My cals were about 400 at the end of the day, so feeling pleased. And a 3lb loss!!! Hope the downward trend keeps going now.
Audrey, hope all goes okay today, thinking of you xx
Minols, good luck with your FD. Cheering you on!!
NFD for me, bit of a headache this morning đ glad its Friday .. need a lie in tomorrow, these early mornings kill me!
Have a great morning,
Back later x
Good morning!
Yesterday was the hardest FD for me, last night I was close to 500 and then had some strawberries. It’s not the end of the world and I’m happy I resisted even more snacking đ
I didn’t loose anything but I didn’t put anything back on either so it’s all good.
Minols – good luck with your fast today!
Audrey – good luck with your appointment and half FD.
Hi everyone! Two fast done this week while on holiday now, so I’m feeling happy with myself.
Audrey – lovely to know you’re local to me and also holiday in Anglesey. We’re in Lligwy Bay, where do you stay?
Symba7 – thanks for the encouraging words. I’m also a tea freak, haha. I had a fabulous discovery yesterday when fasting that my Asda value soya milk is only 7 cals for a 20ml serving – more than ample for a nice brew. So I had three cuppas with soya milk and it made it feel so much better fasting!
Geo – hello to another newbie! As I’m on holiday at the moment, I can’t weigh myself until I’m back home and I’m hoping I’ve lost some. BUT I have been drinking wine on a couple of my non-fast days (being as I’m on jollies) and we did have chips one night. I won’t be too hard on myself at the moment because I want to enjoy my holiday, but in the least, fasting might help stave off the usual holiday damage!
Sorry if I missed anyone else who said hello, as there have been a few posts since I last checked in!
Three fasts completed altogether now – it’s way more than I thought I could manage and I’ve found doing this is a lot easier than I expected. I don’t LOVE the fasting, but it’s definitely more manageable than I had imagined.
Morning All..
A lovely chilly morning…upped my duvet to 4.5 tog this morning although we get hot in the night there were more chilly times…lol
We have pulled back from our previous week..my 3 pounds on of last week, I have lost 2 lbs this week, back in maintenance area but need to be lower…
Steve lost 1 lb this week. So we are both very pleased…No more weigh ins until October 6th then we will see what damage has been done over the holiday month đŦ
Well done to all the fasters I think we all did well…baton over to Minols..think you will be on your own on a Friday..lol
Audrey…
Good luck đđđđ love your new grand pups….my they look so big..
DF..
Well done on your 3 lbs a big amount, you must be working at it…hope you feel better later..
Geo..
It’s good maintaining, your body levels out, take it slowly it keeps off better…nothing much in strawberries better than other things…well done…
MrsMop..
Well done fasting on holiday..it works sometimes and not others…lol..we drink loads of tea maybe 6 cups a day…keeps us going…lol
The fasting does get easier with time..I really miss it when I don’t do it, I think I like the hunger feelings…I don’t like the feeling I get after stuffing my self. It is a way of life, you can’t go back to your old ways or you put the weight back on….But you can have treats in moderation which is good đ
Kay..
Enjoy your weekend…then let’s have you back on here and get you back on track..đ..you promised! ..lol
Minols..
Keep strong today..not a good day for fasting…keep off the custards, I hope you gave them away…
Last night we had a flight cancelled!!đŠ..it took us 2 1/2 hours to change hotel, car hire, hotel transport, and the internal flight…..I was just messing with twitter last night and tweeted to United Airlines to see if the flight was still on, it has gone as usual the last two days so I thought we were fine…but No Cancelled…panic!!…we have another flight to confirm at 9 am this morning đ¤
Have a lovely thoughtful eating day to yesterday fasters…be good Minols keep strong…
Jean x
Hi all lots of posts this morning on here..
Jean hope you manage to sort out your flights ers.
Missusmop I used to have my van at lligwy when the girls were small we are near to RAF valley now love Anglesey! What’s your 1st name it feels weird calling you mrsmopp!! Enjoy your holiday..
DF, Geopri glad you survived yesterday’s fast, isn’t it funny how some are harder than others?
Kay keep posting! You can do this honestly…
Minols we can do this today keep strong.. I have got a curry cooking in the slow cooker ready for later, it smells Devine!
Off to hospital this afternoon back is really bad today so at least they will see it at it’s worst..
Have a good good day everybody fast or non fast and remember that together we are stronger
Aud x
Did the day fine…planned to take the boy to McDonald’s before shinty because when we’ve been on the road this month, I’ve found their chicken salad wraps really tasty and low cal. Our local McD’s didn’t have them! And in a fluster with a queue behind me I went for the only chicken thing I could see. Can’t even remember what it was called, but I’ll be over at the end of the day, now. Oh well, won’t be too far?!
Tomorrow I’ll feast, and then I’ll keep it los again on Sunday (ie, not eat until the back end of the day) and review the results…

Morning All…
A bright morning here…
Our Housemartins are flying and grouping together…Summers over time they went to warmer a climate…they will be gone this week…back next May..đ
Last walk for Oscar this morning Grandson picking him up, family back early hours Sunday…he is a lovely little dog, quiet and not barking, he’s enjoyed our walking out considering he doesn’t like walks!!…he doesn’t leave my side after I am dressed in a morning…he got a good trot on last night Steve wouldn’t of walked that fast…
Thinking I need a new fleece for travelling , a lighter weight….so off out and see if they have any about..then when I come back i will have to do a hair colour.
Minols..
Well done on yesterday’s fast…hard going with no one joining you…
Must say as I will be away and may forget…Have a lovely time away and hope the trek isn’t too hard, enjoy every minute of it..đ..An amazing experience ….tell us all about it when back…
Audrey…
Rest up and hope you soon feel less sore…..let Ian look after you…
Kay..
Have a lovely weekend camping…
Rowena…
What can I say …we both really feel for you…đđ..hope you have some news when you get home.
Have a good weekend everybody…

Hi. Thanks Jean. And thanks to those who have shared on FB.
So there we were on our last day in Devon in the sun at the donkey sanctuary having a wonderful time. Lunch booked then prob off to Sidmouth for a walk etc etc. Then I saw a voicemail my dad had left asking for me to call when I had signal. He had been going round our house each day to water the tomatoes etc and yesterday my motorbike had gone.
I deliberately park my car close to edge of drive so it can’t be stolen. Somehow they got it out.
Long story but craig called police. We decided to still go for lunch but to be honest we didn’t enjoy it. On journey back I was onto insurance. When we got back last night and I saw the gap they got it through I was amazed. I then called police again as I had further info for them regarding chassis and engine numbers. As we live next door to the coop craig asked if they had working cctv which they do. The lady told me today she’s found it on there. It happened at 2.45am. 2 men with a white van. They couldn’t get it in the van so wheeled it down the road with the van following. Must have broken steering lock off. Unfortunately number plate not visible. I’ve let the police know anyway so hey can take a look.
Not only am I upset as my property has been taken but I’m freaked out they came on our property and I’m really angry as I am now without bike and won’t be able to afford a new one. It was 19 yrs old. Insured for ÂŖ900 but as only 6000 miles on clock and been looked after its a great bike. Once I’ve paid excess I’ll be left with ÂŖ600 which won’t buy a bike! And I can’t afford to buy one. So I lose in every way.
Sorry about negative post.
Been to gym today. Almost finished myself off!! Body pump spin then balance. Phew.
Evening All..
Bought a light fleece for travelling, a good buy ÂŖ65 down to ÂŖ15, black not much about as all winter stuff coming in so I was lucky…
Oscars has now gone home so no walking tonight…lol
Audrey..
Hope you are not too sore, take care…
Rowena..
Well done on doing a class when you are feeling down..
Have a good weekend…
Jean x
Morning All..
A bright day this morning…a cleaning and finish packing day for us….
Audrey…..just look after yourself, when unwell it’s hard to keep to plan when Ian is doing kitchen duties..lol.
Steve would have no idea at all…he’s downloaded MFP on to his phone, he has knocked off his morning banana because of calories!…I have been telling him for two years how high they are..in moderation!
His breakfast the other morning after weighing everything and putting in MFP was 510 calories…his face was a picture..a different routine when we come back for him…he has a wedding suit to get into in the new year…no dates yet….
Have a lovely day everybody…
Jean x
Audrey…
All very quiet just me and you…lol
I am on my jollies tomorrow so I will leave you in charge…going to sister in law’s tomorrow to stay over flying Tuesday..going out for meal tomorrow night…no fasting for us..âšī¸ đ
Look after yourself and I hope you soon improve…I will be popping by but at strange times 6 hours behind..
Jean x
Evening everyone
I haven’t been fasting, but have been keeping up with posts. Planning my first fast towards the end of the week once Bec is back in school and everything is back to ‘normal’.
Jean, hope you have a wonderful time. So glad everything worked out in the end with flights. Fingers crossed your holiday won’t be affected by Harvey.
Aud, take it easy following your injection, you’ll be back up and about in no time.
Rowena, sorry to hear about the bike. The insurance value never reflects the personal value, and the s**ts who stole it will get pennies for it. It’s so frustrating.
Minols, hope Mum is improving. Your opinion of brain surgery is spot on. I remember when Phil had his first op his memory and communication were off for a while. When he was in hospital he told me he needed me to bring in ‘the thing which we should buy more often’. I went through a whole list of suggestions and somehow hit on what he wanted – Jaffa cakes. They’ve been renamed in our house ever since.
DF, glad you’ve stuck with it. You have such a good balance between your weekends of fun and sensible weekdays – hope I can copy your example.
Sorry if I’ve missed anyone. Going to try, again, to get back to posting daily.
Take care
Lynne x
Morning all
Fast day for me today, after a weekend of Ian’s diet I need it! I am hoping once the injection takes I can really get back to it and start walking again..
Lynne lovely to hear from you it’s been very quiet on here lately keep posting and let us know when you are doing your fast.
Hedgehogs it’s nice to meet you, lots of help and advice here keep posting and shout out if you need anything.
Anyone else fasting today ?
Together we are stronger

Morning All..
Drizzle start..accident on M62 diesel all over the road…a good start….just opened one lane…a slow start for us this morning leaving home lunch time ish no dash….
Strange not fasting today but for the mass have a good one…
Hedgehog…
Welcome to our thread, pop by and join in and get to know us…get the support if you need it…the coat will soon be thrown away as you down size….no worries….lol
Lynne..
Lovely to have you popping by…things must be settling down for you, the best they can. Good luck to your FD at the end of the week…
Minols…
Enjoy your trek at the end of the month, start getting organised…just a thought for you, you can buy hair shampoo and conditioner from Lush, like a hard bar of soap, does about 80 washes, good reviews and small for packing…might have a look my self too late now.
Hope Mum is improving and you have her old self back…
Audrey..
Look after yourself, Ian leaving you to your own devices have a good fast day….
Will be catching up on posts while away, on phone so I might not be able to post individually …do some good fasting while away I expect a good 7 lbs off you all…lol…back in UK 3rd October…hopefully with not too much weight put on…it’s a holiday so it will be AFD’s most likely when back…life’s to short you have to enjoy it….
Bye for now my friends

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well today! I managed to lose 2 lbs after one and half weeks doing 5:2. I’m pleased with that as I was on holiday last week and a couple of nights, we drank a LOT of wine! Plus we had a chippy tea. So, it could have been worse.
Audrey – I just love Lligwy! I’m called Andrea, btw. I barely even mop so I’m not even that much of a MissusMop, haha. And yes, I’m fasting today as well.
Symba – nice to meet another tea belly! I don’t know what I’d do without my tea, lol.
So…who else is fasting today? Monday is going to be a regular fast day for me. Today I’m trying to stick with two meals only, rather than little snacks. I have made a lentil soup that I will have about 3pm, and then not decided on dinner yet but think it will include cauliflower mash. Seeing how this works for me.
Keep up the good work, everyone x
Hi Dragonfly – not too bad thanks. Still managed to avoid eating and am feeling quite proud of myself! I definitely find it easier when my boyfriend isn’t around, munching away all day while I starve, lol.
I want to stave off until 3pm when my lovely soup can be heated up đ What time are you planning to eat at?
Hedgehogs – I’m vegan! Lentil soup today and then I think some veg chilli with cauli mash. I LOVE cauli mash. Have you tried the Quorn fishless fingers? They’re not too high in calories! Better for a non-fast day though, as wouldn’t be very filling.
Hope you’re all getting through okay!
x
Glad we’re all doing well, and we can eat more tomorrow đ
Audrey how’s your afternoon going?
Andrea, I leave it as long as I can in the evening until I eat, if I eat too early, I waken the hunger monster lol! I’m having soup later too .. really looking forward to it đ
Hedgehogs, glad your days going quick. I’ve been quiet at work today, so its been a long day for me. Always harder to fast when its quiet/boring at work.
Hope everyone else doing well x
I’m fasting today too.
I’m back at work after 2 weeks off so I have a lot of catching up to do, but it’s perfect, time flew by today. I’m going to have a miso soup to warm up and fill my tummy. I’m keeping as much calories as I can for the evening, that’s when I get the munchies, even on non fast days.
Missusmop- thanks for the quorn idea- I haven’t tried them. Can’t bring myself to eat cauli mash/ rice- I’d had that before a bad stomach bug… Shame as it’s really great to eat with chilli or curry. I’ve tried to go more vegan, but it’s difficult with all meat eaters in the house, as at least cheese is something we can eat together. Soups are great for keeping warm and filling you up on fast days though. Will have to make some on Wednesday!
