Not looking good, Denise has out in half a stone over Christmas so I will probably put on more🐽🐽🐽🐽🐽

Very bad news on the weigh-in,gained a stone 🐖🐖🐖🐽🐽🐽.Not had much alcohol only three bottles of beer since August, stopping the 5-2 for three weeks and the exorcising stopped for the same time didn’t help.Too much chocolate so that will stop from tomorrow.My target for the coming year is to lose three stone’s, so watch this space.I now weigh 21-5 stone so I must try much harder.😂😂😂.

Happy New Year to you all..

Dave.. a stone is a big one, it will soon move..,

Getting ready for fireworks I am not very keen…just had a lovely roast beef dinner and wine..yummy

All very quiet on here.

Hi guys caspdexy here, it’s been 2yrs since I originally posted here, I see symba, minols and Jean are still here,nice to know there are still some originals about😁, so it another new year and again I am at the point that I am desperate to loose weight, last time I managed to loose about 2.5stones before medical issues took me out of things, so as a recap, I am now 48yr old female, married with a 12yr old daughter, I am currently around 21stones 😭 and also have atrial fibrillation, unfortunately the beta blockers that I take now for my heart also slows down everything else, including my metabolism, like I needed that, it also means that I pretty much can’t get out of 1st gear, but all this besides, I am struggling to get going and ache all over most days, so I have to try this journey again and see if I can get some weight off, my plan is to do 5:2 initially but I preferred 4:3 last time, but will work up to that, and I am hoping to get off my butt and try walking, although I warn you now I hate walking Lol, I have also changed jobs since last time and now work at Tesco but only 2 days a week, this also doesn’t help as I am lieing in bed way to late most mornings. So just thought I would say Hi, will be hanging about this week and will get going on Sunday, possibly Monday.

Morning All..
Looks like a brighter day..a lot of rain yesterday…

I went out on the Maxi’s walk in tee shirt we got drenched 😂 ..full change of clothes needed ( I had just had my shower and hair blow) he is off his lead now and I am not keen on walking him like that for me. Good chatty walk with my daughter which is lovely.

Big fireworks last night, illegal in built up areas the large banging ones.. the police past by and had a word, we had more or less finished they were ok about it.. just 😂.. everybody’s fireworks were going off for about three hours… very noisy..

Must kerb the wine today had a few to many for calories and apple pie on top… I don’t want 10 lbs extra when I come home like last time… over 13,000 steps yesterday hoping that helps.

Tammy ..
Welcome back I do think it helps to keep on here just to pull you in a bit.. good luck to the New Years plan.

Dave..
A plan for you too.. 3 stone off.. you been with us nearly a year and done really well.. with birthdays coming we pushed you into it a month early, it was a good start 😁

No idea what’s planned today .. dog walk first thing after breakfast..about 18 degrees but up and crashes down a bit too, it seems warmer when rain is about..

Hope everyone has had a good break and are gently getting back into the fasting.. hoping all the choccies are eaten..

Have a good day .,

Hi Guys thanks for the welcome.

Dave, such a shame about your heart attack, I have the beta blockers and blood thinners and the water tablets to counter act the puffy legs from the beta blockers!!!, oh to be 6 ft, I am only 5’3″, if I keep up like this, I will be as round ad I am tall!!!. 3 stones is definitely do able, good luck.

Still have half a box of chocs and box of biscuits to go and probably loads more 😭

Dave, I take co-codamol now for pain, mine is quite a low strength, but you get much stronger, you should ask your doc to put it on repeat prescription, it works great for me.
Tammy

Morning all
I’m new to this forum and to fasting. On my first fast day today. Am going to try different approaches to see which one works. I’m 57 and weighing in at 14 stone 10 1/2. I used the weigh 11 stone but the menopause and huge amounts of stress put paid to that. I also am in recovery from a binge eating disorder. I have an underactive thyroid as well. Anyhow am at work today, I work 3 days a week. Have had breakfast and left husband instructions on what to cook for dinner. Doing my weights class tonight. I’ve always exercised just need to sort out the eating

Morning All..
A drizzly morning here.. watching from my bed..
Having a shower after Maxi’s walk this morning lesson learnt from the drenching of the other day..

The neighbour across the road is always bringing gifts to our family, so lovely they haven’t any children..apple pies, cakes, tins of lovely biscuits, yesterday caramel chocolate pretzels so yummy.. so many no one is bothered in eating them, such a shame..it’s so hard for us.. I shall try and do a fast today or maybe tomorrow when things are more back to normal..

DF..
Lovely to have you back with a plan in hand… good luck with your fast today .. maybe start your lunch time walking again…

Jannyannie..
Welcome to our thread.. good luck with your new way of life.. shout if you need any help..hoping hubby cooks something which fits in with fasting..

Dave..
Any new friends for Heidi today.. hope hospital goes well..

Well I suppose I must move… 8am from the chimes in the lounge..

Have a good everyone.. good luck to the fasters..

Thanks for the welcome. So far I’m doing ok. Hungry with the headache from hell which I know is carb and sugar withdrawal. Just got to the gym. Looking forward to my tea

Husband did me proud, cooked me a superb stir fry. I never thought food could taste as good

I am sure you will be fine when you get home Jean, meanwhile enjoy yourself.

Hi Tammy I live in Manchester UK.

Hi just back from my friends it’s 1.30am, didn’t eat too much but drank too much.

Dave for some reason I thought you were in Canada!!!

Catch you tomorrow or is that today lol

Morning all 🙂 Another cold one! My first FD yesterday took me slightly over, but did okay considering. I think its the alcohol more than food over Christmas that has added on a few pounds .. I do love my wine, but it was every evening .. with Christmas as the excuse lol. I’m having a low day today.

Welcome Jannyannie! Sounds like you had a good day yesterday 🙂 I love stir-fry its great on a FD.

Cakey – I’m focusing on Summer too .. no hols booked as yet, but I want to feel comfortable again this year, wherever I am. I don’t at the moment 🙁

Hope everyone else is okay, Jean are you and Steve fasting today?

Hello Daw I lost three stone so it does work, hoping to loose three stone this year,I am doing another fast day today then I will go back to Monday and Thursday for my regular fast days.Tammy the ice hockey team I support is from Canada.Going for an x-ray now on my knees,speak later.

Hi Daw, I’m 52, f, and have 4.5 stones to lose. I’ve started this a couple of times before (and done every other diet under the sun) – I would love to follow your progress and share updates.

Having someone to track progress with would be a real motivator – will check on how you are doing when I am on the forum next. First fast day for me on Saturday (though I plan to do Tuesdays and Thursdays most weeks).

Hello to all other Fast Dieters on here, hope you are having a great day.

Daw, that’s great. I will catch up with you soon. Hope the rest of your day gets a little easier.

Afternoon All…
A busy day here helping daughter to take down decorations and two trees.. all away now just the clean up…

Daw…
I always think of a rumbling tummy as eating away your fat away !!.. keep strong nearly finished for the day…

Cherry…
Good luck to the New Years eating plan… are you joining us on here and sharing as you go.. it’s nice to give each other support.. we are all buddies together.

Tammy..
Hoping to start walking when back or should I say continue walking.., dog walking here every day..

A play list sounds a good idea..I love potato and leek soup…enjoy..

Think we may go out soon absolutely raining here, we are on a flood alert but not in this neighbourhood .. some rivers and roads I think..children off school back tomorrow now.

Keep strong all the fasters

Hello all, welcome to the new folk.

I was blocked on here for two weeks straight!!! For some reason they keep picking up my IP address as a spammer and blocking me, it’s getting ridiculous!

Been trying to fast this week, wobbled on Wednesday evening when I tried to put away my jar of peanut butter and ended up eating it. Fasted yesterday. Want to fast today but I’ve been bullied into going to see my eldest brother and his family, who are down visiting my parents, after work. I’ve told my mother not to make me dinner as I don’t intend to be there that long, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she does anyway. I don’t want to go, but I got out of it last time they visited and I can’t get away with it twice in a row.

Plan to join a few clubs next week, need to start exercising again, feel like I’ve put a fair bit on over December, feeling very uncomfortable. There’s a running club I’m looking to join on Monday, I miss running, and a karate club I’m intending to join on Tuesday. I want to start hiking again too, since I love it, but at the moment I always have too much to do or the weather is too scabby. Juggling work, a uni assignment, and my volunteering work at the moment. Bit tricky.

Hope you’re all well.

Morning all
Second fast day today. Amazed that yesterday I didn’t want to binge. No breakfast today and I have tuna salad for lunch

Hi @caspdexy

Thanks for the warning!!, I am trying to take is steady today and limit my intake.
