Morning everyone, a dull morning here which makes it feel colder than it is. Off for an eye test this morning and then an Aldi shop afterwards on the way back home.
I was rewarded with my mostly usual loss of half a pound when I stood on the scales Friday.Will weigh myself Thursday this week as we’re going for a two day break to Norwich then.
Couscous it’s strange how we can have such resolve and then it all goes away, happens to me quite a lot at weekends so you’re not alone. Well done on what you’ve lost so far.
Dave and Jean expensive times ahead for you both.
Hemmy sounds like you’re back into no extras.
Hedgehogs enjoy your time away.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning FB Brit friends.. Xxxx
It s a milder day with no frost forecast but still very chilly.
A good day yesterday just stuck with the meals and nothing extra.
C C .. I think it okay being super strict cutting everything out but then its whether you can keep up that level.. without going silly and undoing the good work.
I guess its a different matter if there is a health concern though.
If I tell myself I cant have something I then become obsessed with having it lolol Do you weigh once a week.. Most do.. I weigh everyday lol .. Good luck this week.
Dave…I know whet you mean re getting that work done.. Hopefully it will go smoothly and all be done and dusted in no time.
So is it egg and bacon today.? Not sure what to have yet as just had breakfast.. Will do a chart later I think. Do you have breakfast Dave.?
Sym.. Do you have a local page on the net with local traders. Its lucky here as a local town has a page on Face book there are mainly women on there all recommending different trades they have used to each other. . Its very helpful. I bet the local trades have to be on their toes as the women will soon destroy them by not recommending. lol
Tomorrows flowers are the seeds of today Xxxx
Couscous you talk about T1 and T2 not got a clue what that is. The only T1 I know is the terminal at the airport. Unless it’s MRI scans.I googled that. Waiting for roofers to start and hopefully the rain will stay away. Up early, too early for my liking but will have to do it until the roof is all done.
No-Nonsense November is the perfect reminder to cut through the clutter and focus on what truly matters. Whether it’s about tackling goals head-on, clearing out distractions, kolkata fatafat or embracing honesty in our actions and conversations, this theme encourages us to strip away excuses and aim for clarity and productivity. It’s a mindset shift that challenges us to be intentional with our time, energy, and decisions. November is the perfect month to reflect, reset, and finish the year strong with a no-nonsense approach!
Morning All..
Heating kicked on again overnight I thought it had passed…
A good fast day so watchful eating till fd Thursday.
Dave..
Good the scaffolding is up and the roof on its way. That’s very quick. Organised for the week with your menus.
Hemmy..
I always worry when things go out of my control but will have to go with it and hope for honest people. Your 4 lbs will soon move.
Couscous..
I know the feeling of starting to eat and then pig out totally. Strange on the scales…

Day 14 – Ireland – CD 🚫 ✅ 🚶🏽♀️ 🌾
157.6⬆️
Hi all, I had a great FD but something I ate yesterday must have contained gluten as woke with a raging gluten headache. It shouldn’t be too hard to work out… my money is on a Cajun spice mix or a gravy I decided to have a teeny bit with my roast veggies and omelette last night.
The gravy is homemade in a local store and the ingredients definitely didn’t indicate gluten but I’ll contact them today to check…
Great to see so many here yesterday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ok focus is out the window – off to sort this headache out before work.

@molij – oh, I’m so sorry you had to go through that?! Can’t believe they didn’t at least give you a local anaesthetic?! It sounds a bit like what I went through at the dentist a couple of months ago. The needle going in doesn’t hurt, but when they leave it in there for what seems like 5 minutes & then move it around a bit. Times 4! 😖 Wishing you a speedy house sale! 🤞🤞
@penz – well done! 🥳️

Day 14, NFD, Aus
How can I be so hungry the night before and feel completely back into the ZBC the next morning?? Chalking up another successful FD yesterday.
I have another suggestion for your culinary adventures, @stitchincarol. See if you can find emu meat!
I’m enjoying your house selling/hunting stories vicariously. It’s so stressful I’m glad I’m not going through it myself. May it (and the renovations too, @ccco) all go smoothly.
Yes it always so much easier in your head isn’t it!
Have a good birthday, enjoy your treats and then….back to it!
Day 13 NE England IF
Weight holding steady here, but eating could be better….and less of it😮
I’m fasting from 7pm until lunch tomorrow, first serious effort this year but I feel determined now after a rocky start to Joyous January. Weather starting to get milder here today so ice has mostly gone and I can get out walking again. Quite a lot of babysitting for the Grandkids this week so active all day not sitting on my butt!!
Last day on the island and despite the dreadful downpours, we have managed a beach walk every day. Not today though – we have a late barge, but I have to get the house cleaned and the washing done with hopefully enough sunshine to dry it off. We’d had so much rain over home last month I finally succumbed and bought a clothes dryer – and the sun came out the following day and I haven’t even used it.
Neil we resisted the cliche we thought Bali was for years, but took a quick trip up there a few years ago and go back regularly now. Lovely people, good food, easy going pace. Last year we went back to Legian but found our usual hotel, the Pullman, had really gone off, and the streets were crowded and the pavements uneven which isnt great for a man with poor sight. So we spent the last few days over at Sanur which was beautiful. Lovely clean ocean, and a beautiful walking/bike path for miles along the seafront, with nice cafes along the way. And that’s where we are headed this time.
Hope your return to work calms down, now you have the first day done and dusted.
Minus five Thin? Wow, that’s chilly. Where is your daugher based now? Nice to have her come to stay for a couple of days.
I’ve done quite well since I’ve been here – no FDs per se, but healthy, moderate eating and I’ve dropped 1.2 kilos. I’ll do some proper FDs this week.
Cinque my only other op shopping of note turned up a real bargain. We popped into the local Lifeline shop for OH to get some DVDs for the kids and I spotted a lovely, very deep salad bowl that I thought would be great for Christmas. $15. I told the woman I’d take it – she said I could have it for half price because she needed the space. When I came back from lunch to collect it, she’d packed all of the china from the set – 10 cups and saucers, the salad bowl, two vegetable platters, salt, pepper and a milk jug. Royal Doulton (everyday wear, but still) for $7.50.
On that note – happy week, all.
Evening All…again. Decided that the weekend would not be Fast Days and Boy did I take advantage. Alcohol, including wine on Saturday plus pigging out at supper time. Sunday, alcohol free but had mash and sausage casserole for evening meal. Made me hungry 3 hours later so crisps and chocolate around 10.00pm, very childish. So, today no breakfast or lunch. Gym at 11.00am, 40 mins inclined walk then 20 mins sauna. Lazy afternoon and again at 6.00pm bacon, 2 eggs scrambled and mushrooms. Meant a 20 hrs non eating window. I feel fine, no hunger pains. One anomaly, bathroom scales showed I had put 3lb on over the weekend yet the gym scales, (old fashioned type) showed my weight was static from Friday, strange. Hemmy, I had to smile at the amount of bread you had, I love bread, especially an artisan baked Sourdough. Having read Chris Van Tullekens book, “Ultra Processed People” I was amazed to find that Supermarket bread is classed as UPF and high carb, including whole wheat. Like you I used to eat a few slices a day until my pre T2 . Now its off limits to me and I do miss my bread. Onwards and downwards as the saying goes. Good luck out there.
USA. Day 13. FD
My FD is going well so far!
MollJ, I feel for you going through this biopsy. I have had a few of those myself, although I only remember the last one. That one was last Spring but I was asleep when that one was done, which was during my surgery. For that reason I couldn’t feel anything but I can imagine yours would be quite irritating. I wish the best with the results. I also think you are doing an excellent job of determining what to change and not change on your house during its sale. I have sold a few houses ourselves in our day and know what it is like when suddenly someone thinks you should make all these changes for the sale.
Stitchincarol, good luck in your house search. It’s always interesting to look at houses. I believe I am living in my last house. I have no reason to sell it. It’s size and yard are perfect for me. I am, however, to be doing renovations on the interior, new bathrooms and all. It looks wonderful and I am excited to have it done, so I can enjoy it. 😊
@northgeorgia, so sorry about your mother. I hope she feels better quickly. I got that RVS shot, so I am hoping that will keep me from any respiratory problems. My age now has me running to anything that will keep me out of trouble. If there is a shot or vaccine for it, I have it.
MollJ, I guess I am a bit like you in that I obsess over the calories and portions. That stress makes it harder for me to succeed. I know what a proper portion looks like, so this month’s goal is to learn to work this plan without adding unnecessary stressors to it.
Good luck, everyone, in a new week!
I had an omelette so low calories today. Bowling only lasted 30 minutes out was too wet and hard the green. The scaffolding as been put up front and back already, very quick. Hope they do the roof quickly are well. Think I will have egg and bacon tomorrow and a chicken stew Wednesday.Maybe cottage pie Thursday. Will have to think about Friday.
Good evening everyone. xxxx
Funny as a milder day yet it felt colder than in the freezing temps.
A good walk then started an early spring clean as I never really bothered much after taking all the decorations down .
A good day getting back on track.. to lose this 4lbs. For breakfast .. I had a slice of toast with a banana on top . It think its think its full of potassium … a satsuma and a milky coffee.
Lunch a toasted cheese and onion sandwich and a few walnuts.
Just had 2 boiled eggs with 2 ryvita.
Not counting calories as i am just working on cutting out rubbish I had got got accustomed to over the Xmas period. See what Friday brings lol.

How is your day going re fasting.
Dave.. What did you decide for your meal…. I am wondering if it would be a good Idea to-do what my Kristy does and right a list of main meals for the week. It would take the daily hassle out of what to have all the time. Jacket potato always an easy heathy standby.

Hi Susan, I hope your Doctor has a lot of experience re Glucose spiking and why.
Day 13 North Wales FD
Fast day will be easy today. I couldn’t eat this morning. Had the biopsy done this morning. I have to wait 7-10 days for the result. Unfortunately @funshipfreddie it was quite painful, in fact it’s still hurting now. I didn’t feel the needle go in I think it was the moving the needle around trying to get a good sample which hurt. I am just hoping it doesn’t need to be repeated if they haven’t got a good sample. They didn’t give me a local or magic cream.
Feeling happier about the EPC. I spoke to the estate agent on Friday and the man who did the EPC. He identified two areas which bought the rating down. The first was that we have a Rayburn which is a bit like an Aga. It runs on LPG. LPG is the lowest rating for fuel. It would cost thousands to convert it to another fuel or to take it out and have a heat source pump. The Rayburn adds character to the property and looks lovely. I think we wouldn’t benefit by taking it out. The second area is the room in the roof. That may well have insulation in the roof but we don’t know as we have no written proof. Without taking part of the ceiling down we won’t know, as a result he gave that room a poor rating. He did not take into account what uses electricity like our showers and the immersion heater. We can’t insulate our stone walls as that too would spoil the character of the house. The estate agent said most people are not interested in the EPC they want a house which looks nice and is well maintained. Hopefully that is ours.
@jaifaim thanks for your kind regards.
@ccco I eat breakfast as late as I can. I try not to think of calories. I used to be obsessed with them. I am focusing on eating less and moving more. I am hoping that will help me this month to get back on track.
@stitchincarol the kangaroo chili sounds interesting. When we have chili it’s made with beef, served with rice, salad and guacamole. I don’t think I could eat it with a cinnamon roll. Hope you find the house of your dreams.
@iona72 glad you are determined to get back on track. It’s alway difficult this time of year.
@northgeorgia sorry your Mum is not well. Hope she gets better soon.
@missybear you have been very quiet recently. Hope you are busy finding a brilliant property.

Day 13 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD
LOVED the ostrich burgers last night, as did DH and both sons. I have no idea how much the meat cost, but am guessing it’s too expensive to have on a regular basis, but I’ll happily have them again when the chance arises! And, funny story: our after-church meeting went so long that DH and I were racing when we got home to get out the door in time to make each open house–and fifteen minutes into the drive, I realized we’d forgotten to have lunch. Trust me: I NEVER forget to eat, LOL! So our burgers ended up being OMAD, making me feel quite virtuous. 😇
@penz Oh, no, you don’t get to accuse me of weirdness of cinnamon rolls with chili; I too think it’s weird and don’t do it, LOL!
@funshipfreddie Yup, I too am struggling to get back on track, and you gave us a good reminder that Easter temptations (as well as all the others between now and then) are coming!
@jaifaim Chili on a baked potato is also a big American tradition–very yummy. As is taco meat and fixings on a baked potato.
@northgeorgia So sorry your mom’s respiratory woes have returned. Good for you for resolving to check her diet more regularly. Is she still interested in starting some sort of 5-2/IF?
@excelsior12309 So ironic that you, in Virginia, have snow, and we, in Nebraska, have had virtually none so far. NONE. That’s so very unheard of around here. Rather scary, too! Hopefully we’ll have a wet spring as we did last year.
@brightonbelle Well, the search yesterday was indeed a bit frustrating as two of the four open houses we went to weren’t open! No one was there. Weird, weird, weird. And none of other houses caught our attention on any level–the online photos looked much nicer than reality, LOL. But one house, that we simply drove past, has our attention. DS28 tells us that it’s in a terrible location as the major street we’d use to get anywhere else in Lincoln is too busy for convenience, and everything we’d want to go to is clear on the other side of Lincoln. Don’t know if that’s true or not, so I’m thinking through all the places we’d want to go and considering if our location would be an irritant. There’s lots to think about in a house, isn’t there? And, hey, I love the concept of “Let’s crack this month this week” and so far have nothing on the calendar to challenge that attitude!
I ended up not doing any knitting at all yesterday, but have only four rows to go, so in theory will finish today. However, how many days have I thought that??? 🤣 I’m running into town next to pick up some things, then I have the whole afternoon on my own as DH is off for some fun with a friend, so I’ll be hanging out with Vera and my knitting!
Anyone want the kangaroo chili recipe? It’s actually quite lean, and was very fast to make. https://delishably.com/meat-dishes/kangaroo-recipes

Went bowling but it was too wet and frosty underground so it was like bowling in the street. Waiting for the scaffolding to go up then the roof too be done. Hope the rain stays away. Still not sure what to have for tea. Ideas on a postcard😁.
Morning All…
A cold damp day.. the heating didn’t come on last night first time in ages..
My plumbers been not good news, he couldn’t the tap off to get the part in…. So if I can get a complete fitment which is identical he can grind the tile down and ‘might’ get it in. So that will be about £180 plus his time. My tiled floor isn’t good and the shower drain hole isn’t good either.. it’s 20 years old maybe time for a new bathroom and update. £5000 plus???
I am fasting today…
Dave…
At least a new bathroom is cheaper than a new roof… I really don’t want to pay out….I suppose l have to update or the house gets left behind…

Well, like so many of you fellow fasters, I am endeavoring to get back on the reasonable-eating track. I think this is the week to do it. The forever-lasting snow cover is finally melting a bit. No more holiday eating festivities (we did a late “Christmas” yesterday for my son and his girlfriend and her little boy yesterday, as she had been away at Christmas.) So we had a baked ham, etc. Back on track today!

Evening all
Well it was my first day back at work today and the weather was beautifully sunny and warm…f*****g typical!
Thin, although our weather has been a bit cooler than normal, -5 is definitely colder that what we’re experiencing. I was listening to a podcast today and one of the articles was about a woman in the USA got startled when she discovered that a possum had snuck into her house through the cat flap overnight to escape the cold and had made itself at home in her Christmas tree. It wasn’t pleased when she forcefully evicted it.
Quacka, glad you enjoyed it over here. There’s plenty to see down in the south island, but probably best you were in the north this time given our weather this month. The Denarau area of Fiji is beautiful if you want suggestions for other overseas destinations that are reasonably close and inexpensive.
Lindsay, I hope you have a great time in Bali. Our team leader just got back from his honeymoon there and was raving about it.
Well, back to work tomorrow, today was pretty hectic, but I got most of the catch-up work done, so hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more laid-back
Have a good one everyone.

Hi Quacka
How lovely to read your post – great you had such a good holiday. Don’t they make the world go round?
We are off to Bali in February – hopefully. I’ve booked just 10 days away, squeezing in between OH’s immunotherapy.
It is bucketing here on Stradbroke – the skies just keep opening up. But it should fine up later today – just in time for us to leave the island.
Thin, it is very sad that our nursing homes are such money making enterprises. I have no issue with workers from overseas. My observation is that so many are kind, gentle, respectful people. But overseas ownerhip? A horse of a different colour. How easy would it be for some rules to be put in place to make sure local cultures, food choices, traditions are observed. Did we learn nothing from the royal commission on aging.
Down off my high horse to shoot over to the shops – I’ve run out of vegetables and we have one night left before we leave tomorrow night. I also need more dog food. My girls eat like horses when they are here, and I have given them a bit extra, leaving them with nothing for tonight.
Happy day all.
Good Afternoon everyone
It’s Monday FD for me today. My first one in a couple of months. It’s 1pm and I have just had my first rumble of the tummy. All good, I know that I can cope with it.
We had a lovely holiday in NZ. Had a few hiccups but nothing that we didn’t just deal with. Looking forward to our second OS holiday in May and thinking about where we can go after that. Definitely have the travel bug! Also would love to go back to NZ anytime we can.
Hope everyone is ok xx

Hemmy- nice you’ve had a Sunday off, back to it tomorrow.
Dave- I was hungry like that too, I think carbs make it worse…how many hats have you got for Chloe?!
Jean- where are you visiting on your cruise? The dress will look great, I’m sure, do you have to dress up for dinner every night, is it a formal cruise?
Couscous – hope you do as good this week as you did last week, you do well with the exercise too!
Nana- hope you’ve had a good weekend too…

A much easier walking day… all frost had at last completely gone from the fields.
A good later walk then went to Banbury Tesco and did a big shop. I have been using up lots of bits since Xmas..
I am just waiting for a delivery of a Toasted sandwich maker from Amazon. A George Forman at a good reduced price. I do. like a toasted cheese and onion o toasted sarnie. for lunch. .. You can also use it for other things will look into it.
I am having my last naughty day today this 4lbs must go. .. My friend Sarah and I are starting tomorrow
Today its my favourite no cook Sunday.. Fresh baguettes and cold roast beef .. for lunch and dinner. Oh and a fresh cream éclair.. all very naughty but nice and last supper lolol
Dave…Ohh roast beef and yorkies. did they rise well…. Did you have roast potatoes too… Bet Chloe was on the ball lolol.
Sym… Yes a big hooray for big knickers lolol .. there is an old saying … ” Little pickers need bigger knickers ” lolol

Day 12 – USA/GA – NFD
Weigh-in: 238 lbs. Mom’s respiratory junk has come back. I think I better check on her diet more often, just to make sure she isn’t just snacking on cake and chips and not really eating a meal (yes, I’ve noticed she will do that). I know she made some homemade soup, but I don’t remember what she actually had for a meal yesterday other than some store bought chicken salad and a croissant. It’s something I may have to start taking responsibility for, I guess. I had thought she’s a little young for me to be concerned about that, and maybe it’s just the nasty junk making her feel that way, but I realized last night I should probably be more aware. I may start making some occasional inquiries into what her meals consist of. If she can’t remember, it’s probably not a good sign. Nothing wrong with IF, OMAD, and so forth, but you need the nutrition when you do eat. Fasting doesn’t really work if you’re snacking on junk food all day long. Not sure what’s happening there…
Anyway, my next FD should be tomorrow.
Day 12 – Rural Nebraska, USA- NFD
After church, DH and I will be racing to Lincoln to go to multiple open houses as we begin the search for our own home, and then we’re having ostrich burgers with the boys for supper, so this will be my only post. See you tomorrow!
Good afternoon everyone,a dry day and a bit warmer. I’ve got my eye on a new smart watch. It’s not out yet so I’ll get saving up. Roast beef tonight forgot to do the batter for the Yorkshire pudding so I’ll do it now.

Whoops forgot to post yesterday , will try to remember to do in the morning as posting daily is one of my resolutions
Feel my best achievement has been steering clear of booze , although as it was Saturday had 2 Becks blue last night – wow non alcoholic beers have improved so much 🍻
Had kangaroo a few times and enjoyed it @stitchincarol the sound of cinnamon buns with chilli sounds far more challenging- us brits often have chilli on a baked potato, nice winter warmer , which we need at the moment at it’s been very cold for a few weeks now , although I am aware we really don’t get some of the extreme weather some of you are experiencing
You’re right saw some Easter eggs in the supermarket the other day @funshipfreddie
Happy S🌞nday!

Day 12 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – FD
Going for a first-class FD today, after an over-indulgent Fri/Sat. I think a few of us are battling to get back on track this month, but it’s got to be done! The struggle never ends; we’ll soon be trying to dodge hot cross buns & Easter eggs! 🤪 Perfect walking weather here, a cool, cloudy 19 C after overnight rain. So I’m off to rack up some steps before this afternoon’s card game.
Happy S🌞nday!

Day 12 – Ireland – CD 🚫 ✅ 🚶🏽♀️ 🌾
158.4 ⬇️ – maybe… no idea today…
Happy Sunday everyone. I hope all are well 💕
Not a bad CD yesterday and m resisted to urge to snack on crisps… so that is a win- particularly on a travel day where there aren’t always GF options.
Hmmm @stitchincarol kangaroo chilli??? That’s a new one for me… @penz good to have you back ⭐️
I finished Missing You (slightly far fetched even for (Harlan Coben 😂😂), and may try Black Doves next… @penz as far as I know Bad Sisters is available on Apple TV only, for the moment, although maybe in Oz you can find it somewhere else 👍
Enjoy your day everyone 😄
Onward and downward ⬇️
We rise by lifting others 💕
Day 12, NFD, Aus
How did I lose 4 days of not posting!?! Clearly I am NOT properly back in the 5:2 zone yet, but looking fwd to my FD tomorrow.
I had to laugh @funshipfreddie. I’ve thought the same thing about one of my dogs – she’s such a foodie, she wouldn’t be able to resist taking a nibble out of my carcass!
I also enjoyed Black Doves (even though I agree it was a little far fetched), and was surprised at how much I liked Keira Knightley’s performance (she’s not normally my fave actress). I’ve just finished Missing You, so am on the look out for a new series. Must keep an eye out for Bad Sisters.
Oh @molij you are due some good news! Hope your agent has some sensible, frugal advice for your house and tomorrow’s biopsy proves to be benign.
I love kangaroo meat, @stichincarol. It’s best served rare (I’ve never had it minced (ground)) so I’m glad you enjoyed it. A cinnamon roll with chilli?? You guys are truly weird! 🙂
Crazy times – killer wildfires on one side of the country and freezing cold on the other. Stay safe everyone.
Had two walks last one about 9:30 pm. Roll on summer. Watching football now.
day 11 second post
@northgeorgia So glad you still have power!
Hedgehog..
Have a great night with your family around you.. have a lovely meal.
Hemmy..
Dresses should fit, my cocktail dress will with big knickers! Flatten any lumps out 😂 sorry guys.
Looks like the fog is arriving here now… a misty look about the place.
Nothing done here a couple of TV programmes watched and some crocheting finished off.
Dave ..
Strange all the dogs are different.. well wrapped up from our pm walk.

Hemmy if I only fasted for ten minutes or 10 years I would be hungry. I’m always hungry they’re is a medical term for it. Having chilli tonight it might stop me feeling chilly. All the home automation is going my head in so I’ll leave it for another day. Greyhounds don’t have much of a coat, very thin so I have to keep her warm. My last dog Heidi was ok in minus 20 German shepherds have 2 coats so they are ok. She got a few comments of people today saying how cute she looked in her hat.😀
Good afternoon everyone. xxxx
Another freezing day .. very foggy sun was about but never got through. Its only just cleared. Thank goodness for the Wood burner.. we are toasty.
A good chilly walk then lunch and just sitting.. Weekend off. I am reading a good book its a job to put it down lol.
C S .. Maybe a good idea to have weekends off .. something to look forward to while being very mindful on choice on the week days .. We are all different though what work s for us.
I also love the M&S £8 meal deals.. Kristy and I love the Prawn and noodles with the stir fry sauce.. Like you though absolutely hungry again in a short time lol.
Nana.. Hope all is good with you.
Dave.. Do you think it might be better not fasting so many hours if it then makes you want to eat a lot after coming out of it.
H H .. Hope your meal goes well I bet it will be perfect Xx Enjoy the time with your family.
Sym… Oh that did make me laugh you not fancying my last night dinner it doesnt sound very tasty but it is well I like it lolol.
Well done on your loss.. Yesss here comes that gorgeous woman on the cruise.
Enjoy your afternoon everyone.. Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” Xxxx
