The rain didn’t affect our hike too badly yesterday – a lovely day with friends.
Hoping to get back to two good FDs this week… starting with today. The numbers are bouncing up.
Wow @lilymartin that is some task…. Would you have all the drenching done on one day???
Good to hear you are still dancing @funshipfreddie!!! I spent the latter part of yesterday dancing around the hose doing chores… nothing quite like it💕🕺 💃🏻 but really can’t understand my numbers above… but… they are what they are… Noy for long though 💪🏻💪🏻

@lilymartin – 1500 sheep?! That doesn’t sound like fun. But, a good workout, I’m sure! How long does that take? And how often do you have to do it?
A 14 day water fast? Don’t try this at home 😳

Day 16 country west Australia FD
It’s National Vegemite day today – who knew !! They seem to have a ‘day’ for everything !! I am having more hot drinks with Vegemite to drown the hunger dragons on FDs.
@iona72, my DH is currently watching the US Open golf . Scott ( Aussie) was going equal first but I think he has just got in a bunker and bogeyed the hole 😔
@bert1802, walking or exercising in the morning can be a very good strategy. One and done!
I find if I leave it til later in the day then I run out of ‘day’! By 4pm I have all the excuses in the world to not exercise/walk and ‘plan’ to do it tomorrow…..🤔
@merryapple, you certainly have some wonderful trips. ‘Pinky Pie ?? A dog psychologist might be needed for poor PP!!
Speaking of morning walks, the sun has just come up, 7.10 am, and I am of to get my walk in , walking behind a mob of sheep to bring them up to the yards ,a good way to exercise, for drenching ( taking their medicine ) – a good way for my DH to exercises!!
Wrangling 1500 young sheep who would rather be frolicking in the paddock than having medicine squirted in their mouths. It doesn’t hurt them at all, it is just that they can be reluctant – think trying to give an active 3 year old some medicine !!😲 1500 times !!

Didn’t have coconut Denise never made it. Pie was good though. Chloe’s flat out on her back, legs in the air. She quite often sleeps like this so must be comfortable.Denise is asleep on the sofa, I’m watching the football then I’ll go to bed and Chloe will jump up on my sofa. Jean you’ll soon see Charlie, bet you can’t wait. I always miss the dogs when on holiday but it’s great when you get home to see them.

As well as the NSL I am trying to focus on portion size for the up coming week -less is more!
Had a bit of time to relax and reset over the weekend and currently enjoying US Open golf on TV. Not too much babysitting in the week ahead so will make for a good step count.

Evening All.
All well here…we are down to 6 now in one apartment the others have flown home. So it’s very quiet.
With it being father’s days everyone meeting my ex or Jacqui’s dad..so I am home alone. I am glad really, it’s made me realise I won’t go on holiday on my own. It doesn’t feel very nice, I would rather be with my boy.
Talking of teens they are very challenging, every time I go to the loo I tidy the bathroom and bring down wet towels!! It will be a different carry on when we get home I like my bathroom spotless!!
Hemmy..
Afternoon tea at the orangery sounds really lovely, Pam will be chuffed I am sure. Your garden sounds lovely.
AutumnSky..
Washer and car sounds expensive…
Dave..
Toad in the hole and coconut buns.. a few calories…enjoy your trip out to bowling..
Hedgehog..
You are still looking for a car.. I won’t like buying big purchases I like having second opinions. Nice to have a bbq…
Jean x
Evening!
AS- our boys laugh at us wanting to look at car locally, they either go miles to look or get cars delivered , a different world! Expensive time for you with car & washing machine both packing up… don’t envy you the grumpy teens! Been there…
Jean- hope your holiday is still going well?
Dave- enjoy your pie & coconut buns, is Denise feeling better if she’s cooking, she’s had a spell of not being able to hasn’t she? Hopefully her legs will improve more before your break…What will you do for weight loss now?
Hemmy- what have you been up to today, have you been busy in the garden? Hope your jacket potato & prawns was good…
Nana- have you had a good weekend?
Yesterday was busy, did some tidying & cleaning, & made a pud for today which took ages- a chocolate caramel tart. The pastry case was quite iffy but it tasted really good…the boys came for a BBQ today, in good spirits, I relaxed the keto, & have eaten more than I have been, so tomorrow will be a FD!
Good afternoon everyone, Denise is making a pie so looking forward to that, she bought some coconut as well so hoping she makes some coconut buns 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. All calorie free🤥🤥🤥. It will be another 8-0 defeat tomorrow just wish I could get into double figures. But it’s no big deal. Still over 5 weeks to our holiday so hope Denise is fit.
Day 15 – USA/GA – FD – 241 lbs.
OK, I behaved horribly yesterday. I feasted and feasted. It was completely psychological, knowing I have to fast and drink that awful prep liquid tonight. No, I don’t feel happy that I did it, but here we are. Three pounds heavier over last Sunday morning. With all the stresses going on in life, I just need to remember that I need not punish my body with bad eating to deal with it. I’ll quickly set myself on the proper pathway this week.

Morning all!
Bright and hot here already!🥵
Washing machine has decided to stop mid cycle. However, it has been making a lot of noise when spinning for a while. So there were indicators before it broke down. We have a scheduled appointment for 24th of June. So, to the launderette we will go which usually costs about £15 everytime.
Brads27 – Fingers crossed for your team tomorrow. It must be nice to get together at the end of the season and simply enjoy the company of fellow players.
Hemmy – Hubby found a Kia he likes and we decided not to view it, as it was a 2 hour journey away. Unfortunately, you get more bang for your buck the further out you go. As we like that type of vehicle, we will be looking slightly closer to home, no more than an hour away.
Hope you all are enjoying the morning wherever you are!

@bert1802 – I’m intrigued by just how much you dislike walking! I hope you can come to enjoy it. And it sounds like you’re on your way to doing just that with the morning walks. When you look at all the health benefits it gives us – physically & mentally – it’s definitely not wasting time
@jaifaim – I hope the rain held off for you. Yes, I’m still line-dancing, & still enjoying it 🕺
We’re having wonderful weekend weather here, after last week’s torrential rain. Clear skies today, & going up to 25 C, so I’m off out to rack up some steps🚶

Neil, I was interested to read what you wrote – at what distance from the rivers and streams must the cows be fenced off? That seems another huge burden to place on farmers; building and maintaining fencing – and providing water. Here, that might be suggested from a farm biosecurity aspect if there were issues with high parasite burdens, for example but, from a public health perspective, cows would be the least of the health concerns considering the canals were designed and built specifically to transport commercial boats pulled by livestock.
Humans pose a greater threat especially those boaters that we call ‘constant moorers’ that don’t look after our canals (they’re officially ‘constant cruisers’ required to move every 14 days like us). We know that they don’t take their waste to designated facilities because they never move their boats off the mooring. Not to mention the pesky duck and swan feeders chucking whole loaves of sliced bread into the canal.
I’d like to fence off the illegal migrant tent camps that are increasing in size and number at alarming rates in the wooded areas adjacent to our canals. Three drunken Eastern European men thought it would be OK to take a whiz in the canal in broad daylight right in front of our boat (not to mention a gaggle of young children on half-term break) right in the centre of a town. I can only imagine what they do with their other waste products. Since it’s costing the tax payer an eye-watering £1 billion per month to house these illegals in hotels, it’s hard to reconcile.
Quacka, that’s cool that you did a whole workout using theraband. Yes, great for the boat as they roll up small. I hope you and OH have fully recovered from your flight ordeal and you have some good FDs this week.
GDSA, great to be feeling fit, healthy and strong.
FD for me. Hairy Bikers’ leftover chicken korma from last Sunday. We’re in for some sunny days in the high twenties. It doesn’t get dark until 10pm.
Day 14 NE England
Been super busy lately, which has meant all out of sync with meal times – which I have realised doesn’t work too well for me.
Also had issues with water supply to the house and a blocked drain, just to keep us on our toes.
Hoping for a better week coming up and more routine.
Slipped off the NSL for 2 days but determined to get back on track.
@merry🍎 what a fun filled life you have!!
@funshipfreddie Jason Fung really talks sense to me, I’m a big fan 👍🏼
Day 14…… Florida……..NFD
My last couple days have been a bit busier than usual and I had to make some changes.
The changes are not major but more like small adjustments to make life a bit easier for me. I was really struggling to get my walk in daily. Pretty much, I hated it and nothing I did helped. I spent majority of the time pushing myself and telling myself I could do it…. etc., then I’d finish and complain to the hubby.
Last week, I came home and he said he did some research and said why don’t you try walking in the morning before your day starts……. Well, I really had nothing to lose, so I started walking in the morning…… The conclusion, morning walks are so much better.
First, I don’t have to push myself or tell myself, I can do it. I cut 2 min of my mile time plus, I’m not hating it but I’m not quite liking yet. Progress!
@funshipfreddie…..I have a tracker that tracks steps/miles, heart rate, difficulty….. etc.
I also do listen to music/podcast etc. I started walking not only for my health but my mental health especially. I’ve made some changes and it seems to be getting better.
Conclusion, in my own mind. Is I was thinking this was what it had to be set in stone so to speak but I’m coming to the realization that it’s fluid and I can adjust it to my specific needs and wants. The same way this life style works…. It’s not set in stone, it’s fluid and allows each one of us to adjust it to our own individual wants and needs.
Today is an NFD for me…..I feel good today
Have a great day
USA. Day 14. FD
Good day, everyone! I broke down and weighed myself and Yay! I am down 2 lbs. The trick for me is to make sure I am not losing and gaining the same two pounds over and over again.
Hope every is having a great weekend!
Day 14 – USA/GA – NFD – 239 lbs.
Meh. No real change over last Saturday, but overall is a 2 lb. drop over last week — I just have to stay mindful and I think OMAD, especially on most NFDs at work, will be helpful.
The score on Monday would have been slightly better because our best player is actually captain of the team that beat us but in their A team which is slightly better than the team that beat us. But he’s in a competition in the Isle of Man .So I imagine it will be pretty similar.I have beaten 3 of their players away from their green, but on it I never get many, never got to double figures. They are a great bunch of lads(all in there 70/80s)😁 but not bigheaded. They all say hello as soon as they see us. I have been trying the AI on the weight loss app on phone but didn’t think it was working so I got weighed today and have gained 2.4lbs. So turned the AI off. Will have to rethink the strategy.SKY I did make toad in the hole,very nice it was but probably to many calories, difficult to say how many so won’t do it again. The speedway was good last night our two Aces riders finished first and third and it’s another GP tonight at our track, that have taken over the one that should have been at Cardiff for some reason so not complaining. I’ve been to three gp’s at Cardiff I reckon that’s where I got my tinnitus from, the speakers were way too loud. Looks like you having a great time Jean and Nana and HH you have had a good holiday, still waiting for mine. We have a bowling day out in a fortnight at the Rose and Bowl,18 of us going, not a many as last time 9 men and women, do we will have some nibbles then play bowls and the odd pint then have a three course carvery at night.

Enjoy your road trip @merryapple and I agree with @funshipfreddie – how awfully cruel it is to name a dog with a name like Pinky Pie!!! Poor little pet 🐶

@merryapple – I hope you enjoyed your road trip. ‘Pinky Pie’ – that’s just plain cruel 😅 And I wouldn’t mind swapping our current mayor for that goat. Nice number! Looks like you’re at your June goal already 🎯
@ccco – sounds like a plan! Although, if you don’t feel just a bit deprived on a FD, then maybe you’re doing something wrong. Check how long you’re going without eating, & see if you can improve on that. And if you know you’re eating out of boredom, well there are lots of things that can relieve boredom! Listening to great music works for me. I think I’m going to leave myself off the NSL on fast days too. It kind of goes without saying really; if I’m on a fast day, then I’m not going to be snacking.
Top Tip from Dr Jason Fung – “after fasting, pretend it never happened. Eat normally, as if you had never fasted”.
Have a good weekend everyone 🌤 🌈

Hemmy – Thank you for the kind words! This weekend I am finishing up with some work and then looking at a car with hubby. We have a small budget and just need a run around for him to get to school and back. The one he drives needs too much work done before the MOT comes around.
Have a great one today!
Day 14 NZ NFD New Plymouth ???
We’re on a Thelma and Louise road trip to pick up a Westie puppy💝 called Pinky Pie. Sadly not for me but my friend, Anna, who wants to change her name!! I’m also doing a wee bit of art gallery business. There are serious road closures/repairs going on so what used to be a 4 hr coastal trip took us 7hrs. The new route takes us inland on the Forgotten Highway through wild high sided gorges to a 3 building (pub, post office, gas station) settlement called Whangamomana in the middle of nowhere. They have declared themselves a republic and elected a goat as the mayor!!!
Thank you @funshipfreddie!!! I was zipping around getting packed… I wonder about my ability to to record numbers or is is my phone doing my thinking for me🤔
Hey @jaifaim Great to see you check in!!
Yeah @lilymartin!! Great to see you getting results!! I dropped my BMR in the 80s by doing one of those awful liquid powder diets into starvation mode, like you must have if you were eating off a side plate!! Thank goodness we have better knowledge of things like insulin now… and youtube clips by people like Dr Fung.
Gotta go to meet ms pinky pie!!
Hello everyone!
Jean- sounds like you’re having a lovely holiday, nice to meet up with your cousin…how much longer are you there?
Dave- your bowls sounds very mixed, hard when you play a really good team but good if you all have a laugh…
Hemmy- the afternoon tea sounds lovely, nice to get dressed up sometimes! Sounds like you’re enjoying your garden, it’s been good weather for the plants with lots of sun but rain too…good you still have an NHS dentist, ours are all private now & I pay monthly.
AS- well done with the pound off, that’s good & consistent! How old are your son & daughter? (but you don’t have to say if you want to keep things private)
Nana- hope you had a lovely break & a safe journey home…
We had a lovely break, a bit wet when we got to the island so had a damp walk round a nature reserve & beach, but dried up & has been very hot. The place was lovely, right beside the river so great views, beautiful sunsets…Hubby wanted to eat out so couldn’t stick to keto, had salads though & too full for desserts, we did have chocolate though! Fasting today to try & undo some damage, picked Xena up, poor dog was so hot in the car because she gets herself so excited but she survived!
Have a good weekend 🥰
Hemmy I am going to make Toad in the hole, not done it before. It’s dray and sunny so the Speedway GP should be ok tonight at least. It’s the Canadian GP this week in F1.Struggling to get anyone round to look at the roof so don’t know what to do next. Lost at bowls as expected team lost 8-0.
USA Day 13. FD
Good morning, everyone (for those of us who are still in a morning). Good day to everyone else.
Phew, I have been way too busy lately. I am about to go out for my walk before the heat becomes too intense.
I would join the NSL but I really can’t. One of the ways I have been trying to cut calories is to make my main meal one that I can eat a piece of at different time of day. This really cuts the calories, even the food I eat this way looks quite odd! LOL This morning I have a glass of orange juice and one corn on the cob. Later, I might eat some soap. The meat or fish would come at lunch time. Dessert might be my mid-afternoon snack. If the calories permit, then late afternoon I might eat one item more. I am still on the DASH diet, which is going well. This is me trying to think out of the box. Now, I just need to see where this takes me. By carefully measuring everything, my food choices can be anything I want. Hopefully, this was help me to not feel deprived. So far, I am never hungy. My biggest problem is the evening where I will either stress eat or eat out of boredom. I am usually too tired to do much at that hour, so I am working on a way to control this. 👍🏻
@lilymartin, it looks like you have a grasp on your situation. I wish you lots of luck.
@jaifaim, I agree with you about how a change of mind can change from day to day. Sometimes to me it also seems like minute to minute. Good luck!
@funshipfreddie, you are so right. Everyone is different, which is why we just need to see what works for us.
It’s already hot but out for my walk I go. 🤗
Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx
Its a beautiful day.. Earlier walk while cooler .. then gave old Pip a lovely cool showering and Fox poo shampoo. He hadn’t rolled but I used it anyway. lol So a very cool clean boy now .lol
Its Hunters. chicken this evening with a small jacket potato and some green beans. I will cook two then have the other one .tomorrow with Salad cold
I am soo thrilled with my garden this year it s a blaze of colour all blending together I keep going looking at it lol. Will sit out and read later. .We have some wood pigeons cooing their little hearts out. Bliss .lol
A Sky.. Very well done on your loss this week .. In my opinion its best to lose gradually as very large losses tend to go straight back on. .. Gold star for you. .
Do you have any plans for the weekend or just chilling out?
Dave.. Lots going on with sporting stuff for you… Not sure if its F! this weekend will have to check.
Any news re the roof. What for tea at yours?

Day 13 – USA/GA – NFD – 238 lbs.
Next FD will be Sunday. It’s actually prep day for a procedure, but I think even so, I’ll keep it under 800 for the day.
Quick check in. The last week has been bitterly cold, some intermittent rain but not enough to make any difference to my rainwater tanks which have been bone dry for 18 months. The rain was nice, knocked the dust off everything and it smelt divine after so long without any.
Weekly weigh in this week was 0.6 down on last week with other stats a bit all over the place, some up, some down. Im not reading too much into this as I’m more interested in the stats as the months progress rather than the week by week results. Feeling really good and sleep has improved on my already good sleep – 9 hours last night. Also waking at 5am like clockwork, no alarm, and feeling rearing to go each morning.
I have noticed in just a few weeks an increase in my strength. I can do pull ups higher than I did before and my reps for core exercises have increased. The weights I’m lifting now are becoming easier to lift so it’s time to increase load. I can feel the difference in my arms and legs, things are definitely firming up.

A S a pound a week loss I would say it’s the perfect amount when you lose slowly it generally stays off. So well done. It’s like lambs to the slaughter today at bowls, I’m expecting an 8-0 team defeat and to make matters worse for to do it all again on Monday playing with my other team. Got away with no rain yesterday and the forecast for today is dry so looking good. The eyes of the speedway world will be upon what I live this weekend.Belle Vue have got a speedway GP and Saturday they have another which should have been at Cardiff. In not going far too expensive. But it’s sold out on one day and I’m sure the other will be the same.

Hello all, checking in on this drizzly Friday. @lilymartin, you can do this – you absolutely can.. Maybe not back to your wedding day weight (who can ever get back to that??)
I am trying to get back on track so am with you and give us a few months and we’ll notice a change.
Have been out for a little walk before work begins and have pulled up my big girl pants.. yes life is tough and crappy at times but we’ve only got one of them.. it’s actually amazing how your frame of mind can change to day to day.. definitely age or time in life plays a part.. Anyways.. here I am. Big Girl Pants pulled up and I’d like to join the NSL next week as a goal.

It’s not the result I wanted, but it’s going in the right direction.😃
Brads27 – Oh no! I believe that you will score 6-2. 🤞
Hemmy – 1lb down but I will concentrate on reducing the processed sugar, as I found this week I was slipping into old habits.
I am off site today, so it will be a late one today.
Have a great day everyone. It will be a hot one.
Day 13 country west Australia CD to TDEE 83.3 kgs 183.26 lbs 13.09 STONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the first time I have actually converted my weight into stone and I am embarrassed to find that I weigh more than football players and some rugby players 😱😱😱😱 especially as I was 9 stone 6 when I got married. 134.4 lbs or 61.09 kgs. If I needed a wake up call this is it.!!!!😲😲🙄🙄
I find that if I want to lose weight ( I most certainly do )!! I can only have good FDs 500 -800 and CDs ONLY to TDEE.
If I go over TDEE on NFDs then it sabotages the work of the FDs.
Time to pull up my big girl’s pants, as someone on this thread used to say some years ago, and JUST DO IT.

@lilymartin I had a similar experience, except I continued doing well enough on 5:2. I suspect as the plateau kept going and lots of outside stressors overcame me, I slowly began increasing my binge on NFDs with lots of unhealthy portions and choices sneaking in over time. I’m going to go for OMAD NFDs during the week when possible, and when not, I have to be mindful and balance out the TDEEs over the course of other NFDs in the week.

Next week I’ll be back to teaching piano lessons, and so back to fasting— I’m looking forward to it.
We have odds and ends to pack up today and then we’ll do the gardening stuff in the garage tomorrow and then we’ll be done at the parsonage; on Monday or Wednesday, we’ll get all my organ music moved.
THEN we start putting it all away. Our shower pace allowed us to put it away with each load so the chaotic mess is daunting… oh well, eh?
Eventually, I’ll be back to posting daily.
Posted in the wrong month 😮🙃
Day 12 – Ireland – NFD 🚫 ✅ 🚶🏽♀️ 🌾
156.5 lbs
Hi everyone, I am so conscious that I keep posting saying that I’m back and then disappear again… this has been my toughest year to date… adjusting to life without mum and the inevitable changes that brings (family dynamics and continuing the process clearing and saying farewell to the home place) have affected me more than I thought they would…
I’ve been knocked a little out of kilter and my habits have been affected. I’m still mindful of my food and exercise but posting and other habit which are good for me have dropped off but I am here today and hope to be here again tomorrow. 📝 thanks for being there and keeping the challenge going. As you say @funshipfreddie Just Do It ✔️.

Day12-No. VA USA-FD
I am joining the fasters today. @lilymartin, I laughed at your description of falling off the wagon, and rolling down the hill and out of sight. I am in that position now, emerging into the daylight and getting back on the wagon!
@merryapple, I hope your severe storms have abated. I have not been eating carefully, but no cocktails with tiny umbrellas or giant burgers! But dealing with the snacking thing…that does require determination at times. I wish to be on the no snack list, also. I know from past experience that it really helps.
@funshipfreddie, thanks for your leadership this month!
I had a filling last month it cost £48 thank goodness for the NHS.A checkup is around £28 I go twice a year for that. So just one filling in the last six or seven years so not too costly. The sun is out but a lot of rain is crossing the country so I’ll get wet later today. Still waiting for my new glasses, I might pop into Asda and see if they have arrived.Bowling again today, another good team and we are short of players so don’t hold out much hope of a team win today and tomorrow we will lose 8-0 as we always do against them top team and to make matters worse we play then again on Monday for my other team. I’m lucky if I score 5 points on their green it’s so tricky. Not been fishing yet this year, bowling as taken over. I’d better take Chloe out of I can move her off the sofa.

Day 12 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – FD
@lilymartin – well done! 🎯 🥳 I’m the same on FD’s. I don’t touch a morsel of food until the evening, otherwise I’d be ravenous for the rest of the day.
@bert1802 – interesting question re walking. I only paid attention to walking/steps after I finished working. Before that I was on my feet & rushing around all the time. I deliberately never used the elevators when I was living/working on ships, & I went to the gym quite often. But that all changed after I retired, So I got a Fitbit & started keeping an eye on how many steps I was doing. I aim for 8000 a day, and it’s surprising how quickly they add up. Yesterday, with the line-dancing thrown it was about 10,500 steps. Most of the time I enjoy walking if the weather is pleasant. I live close to the sea, so getting fresh air & sun on my skin makes me feel good. And just knowing I’m doing something good for my body is motivation enough. Moving is essential for good health anyway. I don’t want to lose my mobility when I’m older. If you find it boring you could listen to music or podcasts/radio via your phone or an mp3 player & earphones. I’m learning Spanish, so I usually listen to podcasts in Spanish while I’m walking. And there are some shops just a km away, so I nearly always pick up something I need, even if it’s just cat food or milk. I only use my car two or three times a week. Just try to make it a habit. I know you’re still working though, so, easier said than done. And get a fitness tracker if you don’t have one. But I think all smartphones have some form of built-in trackers now. Or find a walking buddy? Just Do It ✅
Top fasting tip from Dr Jason Fung : Ride the waves – “Hunger comes in waves; it is not continuous. When it hits, slowly drink a glass of water, or a hot cup of coffee. Often by the time you’ve finished, the hunger will have passed.”

Happy days ! A good FD yesterday and Cruella smiling this morning with a drop in number.
Evening all!
Late one for me today.
I had a sneaky weigh in this morning, and was 1lb down. But…the official weigh in will be Friday. I’m hoping for 2lbs down. Fingers and toes crossed.
Brads27 – I remember when we used to have Year 1, 2, 3 and 4, lower then upper sixth. Now it’s all changed to Year 1 all the way to 13! Personally, anything within engineering is commendable.😊 Hope Denise was in good spirits today. Well done on the bowls. You did well!
Hemmy – Glad the dentist went well and you were in and out for £60. Understand about the deposits, even my son’s barber takes a deposit now when he books. If he doesn’t turn up, that’s £4 lost. Hope you enjoyed your meal!
Jean – You all are having such a great time. I think hiring a taxi for a few hours is a good idea get a chance to stay in places a little longer, so less time spent getting back to the hotel.
I do hope you all enjoy the rest of your evening.
Evening All..
We have had a good day.. boys to golf.. and girls to Masca and Los Gigantes.. we hired a taxi for 4 hours, scary at times but we really enjoyed it..
