Woo hoo, another 1.5lbs gone, down to 10st 2lbs. just 2lbs to target before holidays. OH has lost another 1lb, so he is now below his target and positively beaming. 1″ off hips and 1/2″ off thighs. Looking a bit lumpy but I take the view that this is my body chewing on lumps of fat here and there, and eventually it will all disappear.
LittleDragon – I too think the weight loss is slow, I’ve been doing this since Jan 17th, that’s nearly 14 weeks and hopefully will have lost 10lbs by next week. However when I checked my chart for my previous weight loss programme, it took me 7 months to lose the same amount, so in fact, it’s a lot, lot quicker. I think I am just an impatient soul, forgetting how long it took to put the weight on in the first place! A young man used to say to me, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. At least I know I don’t have to carry excess weight for a lifetime, thanks to the Doc and 5:2. Good luck all you fasters!

Did an extra fast day yesterday. Somehow Saturday never goes as well psychologically but got through the day but had a terrible night sleep. Aware of hunger and very tempted to get up at 3.30 for tea and toast, but didn’t . Ended up eventually sleeping till 10.30 so my fasting window was extended. Scales show a loss of 1/4 lb, down to 10 St 1 3/4 lbs. nearly there. Two more fd’s before we go. Surely I can do this…. I have no doubt I will gain on hols, but in my head I have climbed a mountain.
Speaking of which God help those poor people in Kathmandu . Seems as if the planet is hitting back just now.
Cloudy but sunny day here in Dundee so hopefully will get a walk in later, happy Sunday fellow fasters.

Somehow managed to gain back that pesky 1/4lb lost of Saturday. Fasted yesterday but not wanting to waste food, made a big beef curry to use up stuff in fridge before leaving on Thursday. Ate too much and managed to bump up my allowance and it shows on the scales this morning.
In town today decided to try on a swimsuit I’ve had my eye on. OMG I hate those changing room mirrors! My thighs have actually changed since last I looked. Very dimply and looking saggy, but that is because I’ve lost fat from them. Hope they continue to lose fat and eventually smooth out a bit (wishful thinking). Didn’t bother with the swimsuit, it didn’t do me any favours and I need all the help I can get! Did manage to find the shoes I have been looking for for ages, so that’s my wardrobe finished now ready to pack tomorrow. I haven’t had lunch today (not hungry) and will eat sensibly tonight so a semi Fd. Then as we will be travelling all Thursday we will fast on Wednesday instead, so will post my result on Thursday before leaving for Paris /South Africa . Only two more sleeps – getting excited!

Have a wonderful holiday TTL, feeling excited for you too – especially with all those new additions to your wardrobe.

Oh no major fast fail for me today – day went swimmingly well, popped in Waitrose grabbed a soup carton (Made the same people that make the Skinnylicious soups have told you all about earlier), misread the calories on the label – gobbled it up complete with a piece of bread, went to add it to Myfitnesspal … oh no!! Mis-read the label, I was looking at the calories per 100g, I’d eaten the whole lot plus bread!! So demolished over 760 calories in one hit!!!! Aghhhhhh!!! Botheration!! Don’t make my mistake girls always check the label very carefully (which I normally do but came a cropper this time!!!) May try and do another on Friday but am driving down to Weymouth on Friday night so might not be good driving so far on a fast day!!

Good luck to any Thursday fasters.

Oh my have we all disappeared?!!!

Not that you will read this but hope you’re having an amazing time 3TL x

I sneaked a weekend down in Weymouth weather wasn’t great but had lots of fun catching up with my cousins and went for a wonderful long run, along the river around the harbour and then along the beach (the best bit by far!!).

Fasted yesterday.

Am sitting here with crimson cheeks having just eaten a strawberry and white magnum – a few things seem to do that to me lately, think my next challenge might be to knock processed products containing sugar on the head!! Think it’s the sugar doing it to me so soon I could be a homemade only girl soon!

Where have the rest of you gone?

Hi welcome back JFitzy and hello everyone else.

Little D keep going and remember it isn’t just about weight loss, it’s also about being healthier and you’re definitely achieving that.

I fasted today too JFitzy though am starving now!!

Was walking along the corridor today and one of the young (gorgeous) teachers said, “Gail, you look absolutely amazing!” – been walking on air the rest of the day!! Keep at it everyone.

Not sure if I am losing or not, am still fasting two days a week but haven’t weighed for a while, all my smaller clothes still fit comfortably; so i must be doing ok. Maybe I am slipping into maintenance mode without even realising!! Might weigh tomorrow to see if anything has changed.

Good luck any of you lovelies that are fasting tomorrow.

Is there anybody out there?

Hi hope you all had a good weekend. I started back last Thursday and did my first fast day and I am fasting again today. I will weigh myself on Friday as I am off on holiday for a week so will fast again this Thursday before I go. I am not sure if I can fit one in when I am away but I might be able to. Anyway that will be 3 fasts in 8 days so that should give me a boost!

Hope you all have a lovely week and I will post my weight loss (hopefully) on Friday 🙂

Sorry I meant to say I did my first fast day a couple of weeks ago but then went away on a business trip and didn’t manage to do the second one that week so counted that as a maintenance week started again properly last week. Haven’t weighed yet but will do on Friday 🙂

Hi Hilly

How much have you lost in total over the year and a half? x

Wow it’s a reunion 🙂 Welcome back Angeles and JFitzy, fab to see you here again ☺

Angie how amazing are you still wearing the same size after everything you went through last year. Also sounds like you’ve got more balance in your life. Hope things are better at home too and that you’re still enjoying your home made cheese cake from time to time! (Hope I’ve remembered that right!!)

Sounds like you’re doing well too JFitzy so good to have you back X

I’ve plodded along the entire time and have never paused, have had a few ups, many downs and a lot of long plateaus. But to date have lost 2 stone 11.5 lbs and last time I weighed I was 8 stone 11 1/2 lbs. When I started 5:2 I never imagined that I’d reach my target of 8 stone!!! Never in a million years!

I agree with you Applepie – 5:2 rocks a small do all of us wherever we are on our journey 🙂 xxx

wow Hilly66!!!!!!!

super well done to you miss!!!! thank you so much for kind words, i remember when you started out, and look at you now!! you should feel so proud of yourself, great achievement… now you really inspiring me to keep up with fasting this time… yes i wear the same size, only just though lol,but clothes have begun to feel a bit too snug and well you know how it feels, when you know the brakes have to come on lol!! i know my body and if i let it slip any further i will be in big trouble hehe!!!!!!!!!!!
i havent baked a cheesecake in a while lol, but now you mention it 🙂

i am glad all of you super people are still here, i wanted to come back so many times but i didnt have the heart too… but, am here now, and really inspired by all of you 🙂 happy fasting everybody, good luck to today’s fasties 🙂 and have a lovely day!

Angie xxxxxxx

By the way my target was 9 stone!! Not 8!!! That would be too much!!

How’s everyone’s fast going today?

Am in two minds as to whether to fast – fasted yesterday but today is the only day I can fit the second one in but I don’t often do back to back and am going out for a picnic!! Well haven’t had anything yet, so maybe a day and a half’s fast this week for me!!

x

Hi LD I am really looking forward to it – we are going by train!! Should be good fun and yes I will enjoy the gelato I have heard it is fantastic!!

Thanks Angie!! x

Morning everyone!

Going ok so far, the weather is a bit rubbish today… have a good day all of you fasting or not, and a great weekend ahead!! xx

Hi LD,

Sorry to hear you’re poorly, hope you feel better very soon 🙂 well done on doing so well with your fasting, my second fast today and not too bad though belly is rumbling a bit lol i am just ignoring it!

Have a good day anyway and hopefully you will be able to recover and have a good rest this weekend, take care 🙂 xx

Thank you LD!

Good morning everyone 🙂

Poor you little d cystitis can be horrible. A friend that used to suffer a lot was recommended cranberry juice by her doctor – it helped X Good on you two fasts as well.

Angie you’re amazing bet it feels good to be fasting again. I was over your way yesterday visiting a friend that’s moved to Cliftonville – was lovely walking along the beach – could have walked for miles 🙂

Lunch out today I might choose the low calorie option will see how I feel 🙂

Have a fab day everyone xxxx

Hello all you happy fasters! I’m back! Some new names as well as the all of you that helped me in the past. Had a great time in SA. Can’t begin to tell you – absolutely everything was FAB U LOUS! I know I have gained weight but haven’t had the courage to get on the scales yet. Marking 1st June as my starting point again and actually looking forward to getting back on track. Learned so much about my health also with a Kinesiologist in Swaziland – gobsmackingly accurate, and she advised me what to do to put things right. Highly recommended fasting, she does this herself. Anyway, will keep this short and make a start on Monday again. Great to be back with you all and look forward to getting to know the ‘newcomers’
