LD congrats our weight loss already thats brilliant and to everyone else who has lost weight.
Angie thats so good you will see your dad, a really good surprise for him too 🙂
Hilly you make me laugh… the strange man fitting your boiler lol well hope he has done a good job 🙂
I took a day off work today and ended up spending most of it with my mum in bnq hmm not the best way to spend my day.
Have a good evening peeps X
Hi there LD !
Thank you for asking 🙂 yes i feel better now i know i will be going and i have spoken to sis about dad.. Should get some more news later, we are hoping like mad he wont need constant dialysis, because the problem with my dad is that he has had a quite a lot of medical history which goes back a long way, triple bypass, a pacemaker… Fingers crossed!
Hope you all have a lovely evening, and take care and well done all the fasters today, LD am sure you will find something nice at marks, so enjoy!!
Take care everyone xxxx
Morning all,
Angie – hope the news on your Dad is continuing to improve.
How did everyone’s fasting go yesterday? I am back on the fasting wagon today after a long absence (holiday then far too much socialising). Am working from home today so hoping to slip in a trip to the gym as well.
Happy fasting to those that are and happy eating to those that aren’t!
Good morning everyone,
Angie glad things are becoming clearer about your Dad, it will soon be time for you to go over to France. Your poor Dad must be so hard enduring all those medical procedures. Equally though he’s obviously very strong, so I’m sure he will get through. Now I know where some of your strength comes from. xxx
My children are still hiding from the unusual heating engineer! He’s actually quite a nice guy but does enjoy talking to his materials and himself (Maybe slightly autistic?). Nearly finished now and we have a shiny new boiler, hot water cylinder and new thermostatic valves courtesy of the Government’s Green Deal 🙂
Just about survived yesterday’s fast – took myself off to bed with my latest read and a cup of liquorice and cinnamon tea!!! I felt really hungry but I made it!!
Welcome back Jenki holidaying and socialising sounds like a lot of fun to me!! Sure you’ll soon be back where you want to be, definitely the beauty of IF, it fits in with life.
Right better go entertain my son, he’s whining because the heating man has lent his sister a cordless screwdriver to help build the new rabbit hutch – cool tool so now he’s jealous!!!
Hope anyone fasting today, is going well so far.

hi Hilly and thank you for your kind words 🙂
I love the heating engineer story lol, it would make such a bril horror movie!! sorry I love them, I watch many of them and so now I don’t get scared much…well I hope he behaves himself, bless him, we have a few people at work who are a little similar 🙂 they talk to paintings, to themselves… but then again I find myself doing the same on very long lonely patrols haha!!
well done on your fast yesterday, enjoy your day today,ahhh sibblings, what a joy uh!! 🙂 xx
Morning everyone!!
LD I am ok thank you so much, its my birthday 🙂 so my youngest is coming over for the day, so pleased!! so no fasting for me, it’ll be tomorrow!!
sorry you are not feeling 100%, see how you go but if you don’t feel up to fasting then don’t do it, there is always tomorrow 🙂 don’t force it or it’ll just make you miserable…

I am defo fasting tomorrow and will do 5:2 again from next week for sure. WOw thats really good determination! It would be nice to go out for lunch on Friday something to look forward to. Hope your fasting day goes well today and that you feel better x
Just checking in after a frantic day at work and wanted to wish Angie a belated Happy Birthday! I hope you have had a great day and have a lovely evening planned.
to all those fasting, hope it went well. Surprisingly I found yesterday ok after such a long break and it certainly felt good to be giving my tummy a brief respite.
Am off to Wales now for work am going to try and fast again tomorrow but not sure it will work. Will have to play it by ear.
Anyway happy evening to everyone.
good morning gang!

I am fasting today and with all the cake and chocs I had yesterday it feels good… I had my youngest son over and we spend the day together which was nice, he gave me some lovely goodies from the Body shop 🙂 we had a gorgeous fresh cream and strawberries cakes…there is still a little bit left in the fridge, arghhh so maybe tomorrow I will have it!!
good luck to my fellow fasters today… we can do this, the sun is shinning and its warm!

Helloooooo everybody I am back! Working from home today and fasting as I ate and drank far too much when I was away! Staying away from the scales for a couple of weeks will have a pre Easter weigh in!
Belated HB Angie hope you were spoilt rotten :). How is your Dad?
Little Dragon well done on your loss great news we all have blips now and then you will get there before your holiday. I am not even close to 10 stone (ha ha).
Have a great day and speak later x x x
Hey guys!
LD it is a gorgoeous day indeed, i work in a tallish building in london too but unfortunately the view is not that great and my colleagues insists on having the blinds half closed which is realy irritating, oh well will take a walk at lunch. WELL DONE on your weight loss that is fabulous!! keep going girl 🙂
Angie hope you had a wonderful birthday, it sounds like you had a great time and i do hope your dad is doing well also.
Hey JF hope you fast day goes well today.
I am fasting also so fingers crossed I have a good day X
Thank you Kits for your answer , you are all so helpful on here,
Hope you had a very happy Birthday , (Belated wishes for you ).
I am trying to keep myself busy today , i actually like keep popping on here to see what is happening , (Silly old fart that i am ) ha ha
Keep the encouragement coming everyone , Thank you
Hi Ken,
If you’re a silly old fart, so am I. I work from home, like I’m supposed to be doing right now, but I can’t resist sneaking off now and again to see what’s happening on the forum.
You seem to have got off to a great start, long may it continue. I’m sure you’ll find the effort well worth it and it does get easier.
I see from your profile that you list reading among your interests. One of the topics here is “what r we reading/listening on fastdays or nonfastdays?” which you might like to take a look at and maybe recommend something.
I’d better get back to work. As my mum would have said “This won’t buy the baby a new bonnet.”
good morning all! LD, congrats on your weight lost so far and on those loose jeans. That is such a lovely feeling, when the jeans that used to strangle you become too loose! 🙂
Angie, glad to hear you had a nice birthday. You definitely deserve it.
I’m fasting again today – I don’t usually do 2 consecutive days but that’s what worked in my schedule this week, so we’ll see how it goes. Not really hungry so far but I haven’t been up very long.
I must be a silly old fart too =D I pop on and off here all day to see what’s going on!
I had a look at the “what r we reading/listening on fastdays or nonfastdays?” topic briefly but got scared off by some very intelligent looking book titles and Authors 😉 not sure my Lee Child/Dean Koontz/Stephen King/Terry Pratchett/Anne Rice collection would fit in there! To be fair, I haven’t read all of it though, I might have run off too quickly 😉
Hey LD, I know it is sooo annoying! I sat outside with a friend from work for lunch was really nice and warm so got my share of Vitamin D.
Thats brilliant at least you know it is working and if you stay dedicated to 5:2 you will see results so keep going and you will defo reach your goal and when you notice positive changes it just keeps you motivated to carry on so stay strong and keep going. 🙂
Fasting is okay, not felt that hungry today, had 2 babybells for lunch, (unsure of calories they entail though) they are mini light ones, so two of those just been drinking water, dont fancy coffee or anything today.
I will have chicken for dinner. My next fast day will be Monday. When is your next fast day? X
I try and be wise when I can 😉 but yes I know it can be frustrating as I have also experienced it also, but its better to carry on then give up as you know if you give up you defo wont get any results and to keep going and being strong is always the right way to move forward. I totally agree cutting out that amount of calories per week can only be a good thing and all the health benefits besides weight loss are great.
yep not that hungry think I ate too much at Nandos last night lol!
I am hoping to lose a stone. No of course not, I dont think I have lost anything which is pretty demotivating. This is my third week and my 5th fast day so perhaps I still need to be patient?? Any advise? x
