second post.
@flourbaby, thanks for the water reminder , just went and had 3 glasses. I normally drink a lot of water but may not have done so lately.
Crunched the numbers for half an orange, half a pear and 2 cups of white tea and already close to 200 calories! Amazing how quickly I forget just how the calories add up.
Have another 24 hours with only 300 calories. Much reading of posts here required methinks to keep me on track!
@hannahwatto. C’mon Aussie c’mon c’mon. I will walk with you for the next month and let’s see how we go. I too got a bit disheartened earlier and everyone kindly put up with my whingeing and complaining!
When I started this journey I wondered how to maintain this WOL and where would everyone be in 12 months. Well, ; we’ve seen the results with Coda et al who have lost weight and a lot of people have maintained.
When the scales move upwards there is usually a reason . In my case I just ate too much in the last 2 weeks in April and did virtually no exercise – a very bad combination.
Apart from weight loss, another reason I plan to stay with 5:2 is that research has found fasting to be beneficial in the fight against dementia. My darling 91 y.o mother has recently got dementia and it is simply awful. I plan to do what I can to keep my weight in a healthy range and to try to ward off the possibility of dementia – such a hideous disease.
