    Hi everyone, and welcome to all the new peeps.

    Boo,

    I’ve been keeping busy and sometimes I’m too tired to post. I don’t get home til 8:30 PM after being on the computer for 8 hours…sometimes a girl needs to rest! I’ve put my house on a “diet”. Meaning I’m doing a lot of spring cleaning, buying and hanging new curtains and rods. Really, I should have taken out the trash when I got home, now it’s rolling thunder. We have a lot of rain here, too! Pretty green, lots of trees.

    If you are holding water, and you probably are, you can take an Epson salt bath. Two cups of salts, one cup of baking soda, in very warm water for about 20 minutes, twice a week. I always weigh more in the evening than in the morning by as much as two pounds. Also drink dandelion tea, it’s a natural diuretic. Don’t get crazy on this- you need some water!

    Everyone, quit drinking milk in your coffee and tea! It ruins the antioxidant benefits of the drinks, and I’m not sure that it doesn’t muck up the benefits in the milk, also.

    PVE- I don’t know what TFT is either!

    Everyone, it takes a while to get a rhythm. Some fast days just breeze by and others are hard. I try to save up for evenings now, but I always used to eat breakfast, and still do on nonfast days. I hit a rocky patch about 4 months in, and just maintained for about another 4 months. The thing is not to give up. And do not turn this into a starvation diet. Eat a reasonable, not excessive amount, and the occasional blowout might even be good for you.

    Thank you Precious BOOBOO for your comments.

    Biomagnetism or biomagnetic pairs therapy is alternative way of treating disease. I actually went because I have a huge uterine fibroma and refused to have surgery and be “mutilated”. I think we have our “bits and pieces” for some reason and that the fact they told me that as most women my age no longer have their periods and that surgery prevents ovarian cancer is no excuse to frighten me and force me to have the surgery. The medical approach here in Spain towards the patient is terrible: your opinion doesn’t count at all; doctors talk to you “ex cathedra” and believe you should obey them blindly. No way, at my age I have already fought a few battles against them and lost because I listened. This time I felt I should trust my gut instinct. And it is paying off, slowly. It is not a magical treatment, it works slowly. And I am happy with the results.

    My therapist is here, in Seville, Spain.

    Please note I have nothing to do with these sites, I just add them for your information.

    Purple veggie eater:

    Yes, indeed. The secret is no snacking, just saving all the calories for an early evening meal. The problem here is that we have our evening meals at 10 or 10.30 pm in the summer! Sometimes even at 11.00 pm. But you are right and I will have to live with that.

    BTW everybody, my blue trousers no long burst at the seams! I can wear them and they feel comfortable. Only a couple of weeks ago they were really tight.

    HOORAY!

    Good day to all of you.

    Ok, for all out there who don’t know, TFT is Thought Field Therapy. It is a system of tapping on certain points on the body, mostly on your face and hands, on acupuncture points, combined with the use of the voice and eye movements. It can be very useful for treating cravings, phobias, stress and other problems. It is the fore-runner to other similar therapies. You can find out more about it on the web. Look especially for Roger Callahan, the American psychologist who developed TFT over the past 50-60 years.
    I often use TFT as a tool to stop cravings when I get the munchies, and it’s really effective (for me anyway) tho as with all complimentary therapies, it may not work for everyone.

    Hi everybody:

    I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU ALL! SOMEBODY COMPLIMENTED ME THIS MORNING ON MY INCREDIBLE WEIGHT LOSS….CAN YOU BELEIVE IT? I AM THRILLED!!!!!!

    Of course, I told them about the 5:2. They had heard about it and could not believe the difference it has made in such a short time. The best thing is that I am not missing my favourite foods, and on top of it, I am even going to look for those scales and start weighing myself… And it is making my fasting day really worth while 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Hi sgj53

    Thank you for the information on TFT. I will definitely give it a try.

    BEST, Iouabook

    Spot on Piper.It is NOT a starvation diet. Blowouts are part of the natural rhythm of life.
    Good on you sticking to it through a long plateau. We did the same. About 4 months of big weight loss, 4 months plateau, then off we went again. Didn’t give up and reached our goals in a year.
    I love to weigh myself at night, again at 5 (or whenever the first time I get up) AND again just before my morning cuppa. Can vary by 1 1/2kg. That is why I weigh often (basically whenever I go into the bathroom naked) as I don’t get put off by the fluctuations throughout the day. I record whatever is lowest!!!!!
    Still fighting the bug….off to bed early. My mate is still banned to the other bed, JIP, until we are both well again. Then we’ll try the Welsh cuddle. Mind you, I think he would approve of your idea of taking bras off!
    PVE;)

    I’m encouraged to learn more from your experience.

    My interest was piqued via a different approach other than healing.

    Hi BooBoo and fasters, BooBoo where are you? I need to know which one of your threads I have missed please give me time and date if you can please, I do not want to miss anything it may be just what I am looking for. LOL.
    It’s a lovely sunny day in good old South Wales (UK) I have tieded the garden it’s ninety percent concrete and patio, I have lots of potted plants but that is the extent of my green fingers I am afraid. LOL
    PVE hope you and hubby on the mend, I can recommend the welsh cuddle and if you telly hubby about the bra and the cwtch it could make him better sooner. Hehehehehe!
    Iouabook, I bet you are feeling great, makes you want to keep going on the 5-2. Good on you. Complements are the best motivation to keep us focused.
    If you are weighing make sure you weigh after spending a penny first thing in the morning day after fasting to get best result. I used to weigh every morning but I am trying to keep to — day after fasting only.
    happy fasting or non fasting day as the case me be. JIP

    Hi everyone.

    They say that if you want to make the gods laugh then tell them your plans.

    I planned to fast yesterday and today as Monday was public holiday here in oz.

    However, my teaching commitments meant that I had to squeeze three day’s work into just two this week and coupled with that, woke with sniffles and sore throat yesterday 🙁

    Felt very listless and lacking in motivation for teaching but glad to say professionalism prevailed and I completed my commitments but abandoned fast plans, stayed well below TDEE though.

    My darling has decamped to guest room to allow me to rest (so he says LOL) so plan to sleep in tomorrow morning. It’s depths of winter here – dark, grey and wet so not much planned, stay in bed with hottie – not quite as good as Welsh cuddle JIP but will do. Chook & veg soup in fridge so no cooking tomorrow – good for when one is feeling crook (to echo PVE).

    OW&DW!

    Hi rockyromero. If my Will Power has totally left me (mostly he goes out in the evenings, leaving me alone and vulnerable)and the munchies are hammering the door down, thats when i use the TFT. This can happen 2 or 3 nights in a row, or with varying lengths of time between – sometimes weeks. It usually takes the cravings away – I’d say 8 or 9 times out of 10, and so far I’ve not had any cravings for the food I’ve tapped for come back at all in the same evening. It can return at a later time (tomorrow is another day!), but it’s easy to do the sequence again if needs be. Sometimes I find that I don’t crave that particular food for ages (weeks?) after I’ve tapped. There are times, of course, when i would give in to the craving and not bother to tap at all. This ALWAYS lead to disaster. 2 or 3 minutes to do a tapping sequence is worth the effort.

    Well, I am totally behind on this thread! I may have to stop email notifications as they’re jamming up my in box!!

    I’ve had my second fasting day of the week today (this is week 2). I had another 1lb off after fasting on Monday and some serious exercise. Today has been mostly in the car and at my beauty therapist being waxed to within an inch of my life…..! My husband has decided to join me on 5:2 having read the science bit in MM’s book. Any weightloss will be a bonus but I suspect he will shed a few pounds.

    Right, off to make lemon prawns with leeks for supper. So far today I’ve had one apple and a few tangerine segments.

    Onwards and downwards!

    Very good use of your skills to help you achieve what you want.

    TFT is very kinesthetic and has much appeal.

    My preference is a visual mode and use visualization skills.

    I noticed that anticipation and preparation is important for ongoing success.

    Thanks for you insights.

    So sorry to hear you have the bug too. It seems it is all over the country…our family on the other side (5,000km away) have also come down with it.
    I took apple cider vinegar in water last night as it seems to hit the stomach too! It did allow for a much better night’s sleep. Now for the throat and cough…
    Hope you mend quickly. Very good idea to sleep separately if you can.
    Looking forward to the Welsh cuddle, though 😉

    I will be ordering the magnets and self apply them. I don’t have any conditions that I’m aware of to resolve. I am interested in maintaining a PH balance ongoing.

    The training is pricey and doesn’t interest me, however, I’ll be searching out for a book on Biomagnetism techniques.

    Hi All! Well, my first week is flying by, and so far it’s not been too difficult. I’ve done 3 fast days (Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday) so far. Do any of you think this is too much? I found Tuesday went so easily that I kind of just naturally carried on into Wed without really realising I was doing it!
    Back to normal eating today and I still don’t feel like I need to eat very much, despite keeping up my usual dog-walking routine and doing 2 cycle runs, of 19 and 25 miles. Out on the bike last night I felt like I could cycle forever, boundless energy and this on a fairly hilly route! (road cycling, not mountain biking)Desperately trying to stay off the scales for at least another week, hopefully more, but really I feel so much better its tempting just to sneak a wee weigh-in. Perhaps it’s just because I’ve made an effort to do something about myself that I feel so good. Whatever, I’m just going with the flow. :-)Downwards and onwards!

    Hi all
    Still no word from Precious…mmm..I hope she hasn’t found your rum stash, JIP.
    Remember JIP, every glass of water weighs at least 250g. Four drinks is a kilo (2.2 lbs). Doesn’t take much to swing the weight up, but that is fine. Fluctuation is normal. You’ll be fine.
    Sgj43, probably not a good idea to flow through two days with fasts. The point is to have ups and downs to replicate the natural feast and famine humans evolved to cope with. As you are only just starting, stick to two so that you don’t get sick of it too quickly. Better to have a couple of days in between to feel normal. I love your enthusiasm. Keep it up.
    I’m off to bed now. Just watched “The Men Who Made Us Fat” and then “The Men Who Made Us Thin”. All pretty predictable. He seemed to find a lot of people who were simply justifying the way they made their money or excusing themselves for being fat.
    Don’t know about you ladies, but every time I see a fat person filling their face with fast food I would love to let them know how much better they would be after fasting, but of course, I don’t.
    Another fast day bites the dust..looking forward to a big bowl of porridge, apple and rhubarb tomorrow. mmmmmmmm
    Cheers PVE

    Hi everyone

    A bit late iouabook, but great to hear of your compliment – bask in the glory of your effort and commitment.

    Hi JIP, how disappointing but PVE’s counsel is sound. Also, though don’t have any data to support the theory, sometimes wonder if our systems still have echoes of our younger days when fluid was retained at certain hormonal stages in the monthly merry-go-round.

    1140pm here so goodnight from Oz.

    Hi PVE. Thanks for your advice. I never expected to find fasting so easy, hence the double fast, but I know I have to be careful not to overdo it and sicken myself before I really get started. I’m also using myfitnesspal to keep track of my non-fast days, so I think that’ll keep me right. I know I’m prone to being a bit over-enthusiastic whenever I start something new, so this time I’m trying to be very aware. I really want this to work. I’m so sick of trying and failing, I end up just giving up the struggle altogether. Eventually I get so down and fed up with myself I start yet another diet and off I go on the rollercoaster all over again. I hope 5:2 will be the answer for me. I’ve never used a forum type thing for support before, but I’m sure this will help too, so thanks to you all.

    Hi everyone!

    I’m sorry that I just don’t get time to catch up on all the posts on this thread. Some great news for me this morning – weigh in after second fast day of week 2 and another 3lbs down!!!! That makes 5.2lbs in 2 weeks. To say I am gobsmacked is an understatement – I know that this is not water weight as I was already calorie restricting and low carbing before I started 2 weeks ago. I just hope it continues but I accept it won’t be at this rate….I’ll settle for 1lb a week!

    Played golf today in glorious sunshine and plan to play 9 holes at least tomorrow afternoon. Got some chores to do in the morning as we have guests for the weekend.

    Happy Thursday everyone!

    Sorry, I haven’t gone AWOL, I’ve just been a bit busy and I don’t normally look at the forum if I don’t have time to post.

    JIP! You have already (NOW! you tinker) answered the post I was pointing out to you; it was the one where my rings and bras were tighter etc……

    Thank you to anyone else who took the time to advise me on that strange and extremely annoying phenomenon of gaining water for no reason whatsoever whilst you are sticking to your fast as you should.

    It’s coming up to a year since I started the FAST DIET!……
    And I really really wanted to get to my humungous – intermediate – very small GOAL of TWENTY POUNDS OF UGLY FAT LOST!!

    No, JIP!, I have not cut off my head!…….(the old jokes are always the best in my opinion!).

    It’s probably another 2 weeks until I reach that point but I would love to make the 20lbs point and have a nice round number of pounds lost.

    Me trying to lose a 1lb though; is like saying I want to lose a stone by then.

    Can you not just allow for the calories of having some milk in your coffee on fast days? I always like to try to get the FD to fit around how I like to live and not the other way round.

    It’s nice to have you back; I miss you when you don’t post.

    You said a little while ago; that we were your support group. Well we must be doing a really good job if you just need to read what we say to get support and encouragement!

    Does that mean that you are the only one amongst your friends and family who is following the FD?

    How is it going with the UNDER TEN STONE marker? Are you managing to keep under?

    Is putting your ‘house on a diet’ an American saying? I’ve never heard that before; I love to hear sayings from other countries. In the UK; we would probably say we have had a ‘makeover’ on the house.

    Hi iouabook

    Thanks for your explanation of bio-magnetic therapist and well done you for standing up to the medical profession! I’m not enamoured of the one in the UK; so I really admire you for keeping to your guns.
    And you did mean to type ‘pairs’; I thought it was a typo.

    And very well done on the much looser blue trousers! WEIGH TO GO!

    In fact I am going to award you this weeks STAR LOACA AWARD!!!

    We get our priorities right on this thread; which means the highly coveted award is for the looser trousers and for getting the scales out of the wilderness and not the fact that you have stood up to the medical profession regarding a serious health issue!

    ONwards and Downwards!

    Hey PBB you will be amazed to hear I didn’t have the cream scone I promised myself earier this week.
    Today I am having a semi fast day (not done that before)- skipped breakfast, lunch was coronation chicken and a huge salad with a half of shandy. Now I am still feeling comfortably full so dont think I will have anything except an apple.
    Tomorrow is a fast day and since I am travelling to my mother’s and back, should be okay. Stocked up on some flavoured water, tinned tuna and premade salad to take with me.
    Weigh in on Sunday should be interesting 🙂
    How are you doing now?
    🙂

    Hi NickyF

    So you are the next one to get the dreaded lurgy as we say in the UK.
    I left a simple recipe for a natural lemon drink for PVE a short while back; have a look see.

    That’s what is so great about the FD though isn’t it? You just reschedule your fast day if you need to. Just like the other week you had with the chocolate cake in the canteen! Simple.

    And hubby decamped to let you rest?…..I’ll bet it was so you didn’t disturb him! I’ve got one of those at home! So has PVE! There are possibly thousands of them around!

    Was it you who asked how far home was away for me? I answered in one of my previous posts. You are right though Nicky: if you disappear for only a day or two; there can be some serious catching up to do!

    Hope you feel much better soon.

    Onwards and Downwards! (When you are better of course….)

    Hi LindyW

    You didn’t have the cream scone! Why ever not? I dream about the time I reach your heady hights of maintenance and can eat things like cream scones with gay abandon!

    I have done that before; not having dinner the night before a fast day but it really doesn’t agree with me. It was a bit like the B2B debacle but not anything like as bad.

    I’ve just been talking about my current status; you will have to read back! My fingers are sore! so I am not typing it all out again to tell you 🙂

    So have you not been weighed since you got back from another holiday? I’m losing track here; you have so many holidays!

    A message for JIP! in the morning!

    HaHaHa JIP!

    Have a look at your last post tonight! It was definitely the rum talking and doing your spelling for you – LOL!

    As I previously asked; exactly how much rum have you had?

    Only jealous really; fast day and it’s been a long one…..

    Hi sgj53

    Wow that sounds like a wonderful start to your FD journey! I’m envious that you seem to have much more energy.

    It is lovely that you are doing something for yourself and feeling so good about it. That kind of comment gives me a bit of a kick up the backside and keeps me going when I’m a bit lacking in motivation: which if you have read some of my latest posts, is about now…..

    ONwards and Downwards!
