Hi FBBs Hope all is well with you Xxxx

Happy Fathers day everyone.

A dull day here with drizzle .. the type of rain that doesn’t look much but soaks you.

Just going to sit and read this afternoon, on my second day of no wine or G&Ts I did 3 months last time so hoping to do at least that. So many calories…

Ty .. eat your chocolate and enjoy it .. tomorrow you can start again. Life is too short to save chocolate lol

Have a lovely day everyone what ever you are doing

To lengthen your life, shorten your meals Xxxx

I also have a giant bar of chocolate for father’s Day. Got to try he Bowling club this morning and my key wouldn’t open the gate😲, had to buy another key. Played my son and he absolutely slaughtered me.Claire is having another bad day today and as got a driving test in the morning.Not sure why she is doing it unless it’s for a job maybe.

Afternoon!
Steve- hope your FD goes okay today after chocolate yesterday!
Dave- hope Claire’s test goes okay, it’ll be expensive runing a car if she does pass, but might give her a bit more flexibility with jobs & where she lives maybe? Shame your son beat you yesterday- he should’ve let you win as it was Father’s Day!
Jean- shame you haven’t got boules tomorrow, but I’m sure your sister will be pleased to see you! Keep strong today!
Hemmy- good luck with no alcohol! 3 months was a good long spell last time…No gardening with the rain at the moment?
Alannah- good that you’re finding 5:2 okay so far, you’re very strong not weighing! I have a fat wardrobe & a slim wardrobe- I’m a bit inbetween right now!
Minols- hope the packing is going okay, thinking of you…
Had a good weekend, nice to see son’s gf again, they ate well- veggie lasagne & then cheesecake, pancakes for Sunday breakfast, fajitas for lunch…Xena was over the moon, & followed her about everywhere! They went off & are visiting friends the next couple of days, then popping back on Weds for abit, so will have to keep everything clean still!
Dental hygienist appt today, so teeth quitesore now, will help with fasting! Not sure what I’ll have tonight- would’ve been salad but it’s a bit cold! Youngest is now thinking about trying a veggie diet for abit for health reasons- hedoes eat alot of rubbish- I bet it doesn’t last long! Hubby feeling worried & outnumbered!!

Even harder I go away soon on holiday. Will start afresh when I get back from holiday.

Hi FBBs Hope all is well with you Xxxx

What a change in the weather quite cold tonight.

Kay… Lovely to have you back .. Good luck with your back to basics .

I am so chuffed as I at long last have started painting my lounge.. I thought it time I stopped thinking about it and did.

I am really pleased with how its going on.. only a cream paint but its really freshening things up.

Fasting tomorrow.

Good luck fasters .. Take care.
Being different isn’t a bad thing.It just means you’re brave enough to be yourself.Xxxx

Morning all

Just had the last video quoting from a removal company – have to get three quotes. Just decided I’m old enough not to be embarassed by the state ofthe house. I’d like to say it’s just because we’re in the middle of ‘sorting’…but it’s only marginally worse than it normally is!

Thought we’d got a cottage to move our spare stuff into at the weekend…but they’ve pulled the property, so I’m now looking for a storage unit until we can get settled, and then look at our leasure. By far the best idea, but you know what it’s like – you think you really can do a million things at once!

Today has to be writing and practising my BSL – it’s really limited to a very particular script, but I’m being tested tomorrow!

Given we’re moving into a smaller place and I’m losing at least one closet-worth of space…I think anythign that isn’t comfy is going to have to go – it’s so long since I wore most of those clothes anyway…someone really should be enjoying them!

Well I actually won at bowls and they have a very good team, we won the team game too.Weather is not great today but dry.Hope I don’t get a repeat of the weather we had last year.Still got 2 umbrellas what we bought on holiday.The weather forecast is on TV now 19°C at the best.

Alannah don’t worry about keystones, you could possibly be the only one who checks them,I could be wrong.If your sticking to the 5-2 and not eating too much on non fast days you will be ok.Back from Sainsbury’s got the last two cobs😁.The weather dosen’t know what to do, sunny one minute then dull the next.

Good morning everyone,not a bad day here, will take Heidi out to the park soon.Definitely a stuff my face holiday,no diets allowed on holiday.So a big push when I get home.I will get weighed when I arrive home then my next weigh-in will be around Christmas.

Jean every time I have a long period without getting weighed I always lose at least a stone.Just been bowling,warm but not too hot.

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you Xxxx

So pleased to see the sunshine back again.. although I wont want to do this painting lol.

Allannah I am ever so happy with it so far I have done about half so far. Dong 2 hours a day. I am only using a brush though as feel more in control.

Having a break today from it.. as I have been shopping for more paint and some ready made filler a few cracks by the beams near the fireplace .

While out it was quiet so I had a good look around.. bought Pip a bone thing you put in the freezer from Wilko .. thought it would be good this weather.

I supposed to be fasting today but had my Lidl little pizza and a Portuguese custard tart but i have been good this week and staying stable. Hopefully. lolol

Sym .. I feel your pain… not easy being a single woman even the more mature of us. lol
I have a similar problem at the moment with a friends hubby … maybe something or nothing but find myself having to supress my natural friendliness. A shame really.

HH Pips not bad when I am doing things .. I usually go out after into the garden and do bit of throwing for him.

Enjoy your visit tonight and meal.. you have lots going on it s hard sticking to those 800 s .. Dont stress about it .. it will be ok again soon it seems to go like that.

Kay enjoy your wine. I just going to Mow lol .

Brads .. All this bowling bending about you should lose pounds. lolol

I hope everyone is doing well … Go England with the football brilliant so far.

Take care all enjoy your day.

Treat yourself with respect and loving kindness always. Speak to yourself like you would your dearest friend. Xxxx

Morning all!
Quick post- busy day yesterday, got our arbour up, but have to sort a base for it, weren’t sure exactly how big it would be, getting some stainer for it today. Xena was bitten by another dog on our walk, scary but luckily no blood drawn…Been trying to help neighbours, Mum’s dishwasher isn’t working so will help her with that this afternoon…Was going to fast but hubby fancies a Chinese!
Have a good day all & keep strong if you’re fasting!

Morning All..
Very cloudy day but warm…Charlie walk then I went out with Ivy to walk again, she came to me for coffee afterwards.

Poor Charlie was attacked by three dogs behind a 5 bar house gate, he was sniffing along and they took us both by surprise, they were snarling and growling, he went too them before I could stop him and he has a 1 inch slice cut on his face..I am doing salt baths and sudacream on..looks very bruised this morning but the congealed blood is holding it together. He is very quiet today.

Hemmy..
Slowly doing the painting, you won’t get so tired glad it’s looking good and fresh. It’s difficult to read the men maybe just being friendly, the girls winding me up doesn’t help!..it’s hard to buy drinks not to buy drinks all so different on your own, men insisting to buy….it’s so awkward.
I am chatty I talk to anybody maybe I should think more..
I seem to be on eggs a lot so I know what you mean 😂..it’s just easy when fasting…

Dave..
Lots of things planned for your holidays..soon be going ..😀

Hedgehog..
What is it with these dogs…glad Xena is fine…you have a lot on as usual…I am getting very hungry, it’s a bit early but awake at 4am again….

Keep strong..

Thank you for the supportive messages. No testing of ketones for a bit! I’m about to reach the end of week 3. Most days, I’ve stuck to 800 calories on non-fast days and 500 on fast days, and have avoided pasta, rice, and bread (did succumb to a potato on one day) but though I thought at first my clothes were more roomy, I am now not sure if I have lost any weight or girth. The waist might be a touch smaller, but the belly below it is still horrible. Bigger than when I was pregnant! I need to drop a size and get back to a 12. I’m resigned to never being a 10 again 🙁

I’ve just read _The Fast 800_ and slightly lost faith in Dr MM. After confidently proclaiming the benefits of the 5:2 diet based on 500 calories a day twice a week, and insisting that this was based on good scientific evidence, he is now blithely upping this to 800 and dismissing the original 5:2 as largely based on animal testing. If he wasn’t sure at the time, he shouldn’t have promoted the diet. Wondering whether his publishers frequently nag him to come up with a new version to sell more books. Having said that, I am nonetheless grateful for the push the original book gave me to try this, and it has been much easier than just starving for weeks and then giving up. 🙂

Afternoon!
Hi Jayegirl, & thank you for starting this thread! I’ve been on hear for over 3 years☺ This is as close to maintaining as I’ve ever got but still up now more than I’d like! I ditched the sugar & carbs for 3 years with keto but it’s too hard at the moment…good luck with kicking the sugar!
Alannah- I don’t know how you’re doing all 500 & 800 cal days- I’ve done acouple of weeks of 800 & that was my limit, never mind 500 days as well! You should definitely lose on that!
Dave- happy holidays, hope the weather’s better than forecast…
Jean- you be your usual chatty self, if people take it the wrong way that’s their problem, don’t change! Hope Charlie’s cut heals okay…
Hemmy- good idea to crack on with the painting while it’s not so nice! I like a cheese omelette every now & then, maybe try frittata for a change?
Didn’t get the arbour all painted yesterday, & a bit drizzly today, but we did get a base done, & it on- it’s so heavy we didn’t know if we could do it, but it’s on…hubby will suffer with his back though 😬 Now got to get some shingle & another shrub for beside it! Very pleased with it though. Managed just the one meal yesterday (not a takeway in the end), have had to eat up something out of date today…hopefully I can do better next week!

Afternoon All…
A very wet drizzly sort of day, very wet for this mornings walk..it’s still at it!!

Charlie’s cut is healing a lot getter than I thought it would be, so I am very pleased.

Just been out for a bit of shopping picked up a crab and fresh crusty bread to go with it, I shall have half tonight and the other half tomorrow …

I have stayed the same again…still at goal but really need another 3 lbs wriggle room off…two meals out this weekend so not a good week ahead eating wise.😬

Hi Jay..
Nice to have you back, we have a great friendly group here. I think Kay and I started about 6 months after you started it so it’s way back now, I think in 2015, Hemmy before us …..goodness 6 years time flies…

Hedgehog..
Glad the Arbour has got the first coat, I suppose it could be fiddly, mind the back if it’s heavy …my Red Robin shrubs I have got for my awful neighbours fence, I don’t like them, too spidery and wide, the garden is too small to take them……bought three more to replace, more solid colour..a weekend job or maybe next week when they working!

Hemmy..
Well done on the pound off, lots of exercise used when painting….is there much more to do?..feeling quite lazy at the moment, first too hot now the rain …I am on top of most things..

Dave..
Safe journey and enjoy your holiday..

Nana..
Hope you got a walk in today before your journey back home…you have had a good time with lots of walking…well done.

Have a good weekend all…

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you. Xxxx

A lovely day here .. an enjoyable walk my favourite time with all the/wheat/barley green in the fields then gradually watch it turn to a field of gold.

The only thing that marred the walk was Mr Pip rolled and absolutely stank. lolol I just had to tell myself at least he enjoyed it. lol

Having a nice lunch of my favourite 3 cheese crusty bread a nice chunk of cheddar and spring onions. Simple but tasty.

Sym … I am glad poor Charlie is healing well … its such a shame that should happen to him.

Pets at Home do a wonderful Tea Tree oil spray for cuts etc. ​

​Alannah …Do you go walking it seems to be good exercise for all ages plus easy to fit in with life.

Have a good day every one … whatever you are doing. Dont forget to be mindful because……….

We dont want to become pickers and then have to go and buy bigger knickers. lolol Xxxx

Morning All…
A very dark day but no rain…
On Charlie’s walk all hell let loose, barking and circling…it was a Gate!…the grass is growing high on the riverbank it’s quite long, it must of taken him by surprise ..we pass by it and go through it a couple of times a day !! Stupid boy…

Going out for Sunday lunch will get ready shortly..meeting with Sam and Natalie..no dogs….

Alannah..
Keep going it does work…just a bit hard at the beginning…

Hemmy…
Mr Pip is naughty he does a lot of rolling in stinky places !!…as Steve would say he was having fun 😬
Charlie’s cut is healing, a bit scabby he lost a bit and a small bleed. My step daughter sent tea tree oil, lavender oil and coconut oil mixed in a bottle, her friend does aromatherapy..she uses it on her dog..so fingers crossed.
The fields look beautiful didn’t think of them all changing colour I shall watch for it….so peaceful walking through them.

Hedgehog…
I am a picker too..as you say not on a fd..why!..shame you can’t get your mum to do things, she sounds so like my sister. Your Arbour is such a pretty colour nice to sit in with a cuppa and book..much bigger than I expected…

Fast day needed tomorrow after two meals out..still I won’t eat this evening…

Have a good day…

Jean x

Morning All..
A long village walk..dull but dry here…

Two meals out with puds over the weekend has shown 3 lbs on😱….fasting today I think gaffer tape is needed !! and a strong week…fruit for breakfast, kiwi and a pear.

Hedgehog..
Sounds like a good day in kitchen with all your new recipes..tried and tested !!
A nightmare getting the bike mended hope you have a plan in place…enjoy your visit to mums later…didn’t think of the gate and the nasty dogs, maybe it’s a thought…talking of the dogs apparently a dog warden has given them a warning and another incident the police called over a dog bite on the river bank!

Have a good strong day…

Afternoon everyone well I’m back after a lovely week away which involved a lot of walking and eating and drinking. Haven’t weighed myself though. Was rethinking my two fds now that our social life is picking up again and have decided to do Mondays and Saturdays with my weigh in day being Sunday but have already realised that I can’t do this Saturday as we’re booked to go to the pub for a meal in the evening with our neighbours so will do tomorrow as a fd instead much as I hate doing b2b fds I shall have to do so.
A lovely BBQ yesterday at my sister in laws to celebrate her birthday it was so nice to see family and friends after such a long time and the weather was kind to us.
Haven’t had chance to read up the posts whilst I was away but hope everyone is well and those of you fasting today are not finding it too difficult.
Stay safe everyone and take care.
Nana x

Hemmy, only a little bit smaller! Long way to go. I’m now trying to kick-start weight-loss by going low calorie every day. After 8 weeks or so I’ll go back to 5:2.

Hemmy, not being hungry must be a sign that the diet is working and changing your appetite 🙂
Thank you for the encouragement 🙂

Glad you had a lovely week, Nana.

Well done, Kay! I daren’t go for pizza – I wouldn’t be moderate, I’d scoff the lot!
