    Fast day yesterday. This week I'm just going to do the one fast. All that moving has exhausted me. I spent most of yesterday sleeping. So lots of healthy but calorie dense foods today and over the weekend.

    Happy fasting to everyone fasting

    FD#2 for me today (Friday). Woke up and immediately made some hot tea to help me get through not eating anything for breakfast :)

    I've been weighing myself, but don't want to record anything until I can get a more stable number. It looks like my weight is going down, but it's hard to tell when you're standing on a scale that's on a rocking ship. I can stand on it 3 times in a row and easily get numbers that are in a 10lb range! I try to step on it when the ship isn't rocking as much so that's why I think the number is going down, but I'm going to wait until we get back into port to actually record anything ;)

    Happy Friday to everyone, both fasting and feasting :D

    Completed my second fast yesterday just over 600cals so, was okay. Today is a TDEE day for me and did tons of walking and gardening so even though I celebrated the start of the Easter break Holidays with the kids at McD's I have made it under my TDEE. I have managed to do this all week which has been a great success of me, I finally feel back in control. I will wait and see what the scale says on Sunday.

    3rd fast almost done, lentil soup for supper, I don't always do 3 but no opportunity to eat today- other than cake and chocolate-resisted otherwise it could have been over budget, so feeling very much in control which is nice as its been a difficult week at work and usually I would have scoffed loads of rubbish. Instead I have swum it out and hopefully this will be a good habit.
    Good luck to those moving or just moved and hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)

    Finished FD#2 last night a bit over (700 instead of 500 Calories), but I'm happy with it.

    Awesome resistance @cal0rina! I always feel happy when I can walk away from cake too! I feel like this lifestyle is helping me gain more control over what I eat - still have some boredom and emotional eating to deal with but I feel it's easier to walk away since starting 5:2 :D

    Yay for the weekend! Tomorrow my baby girl comes home from uni for a whole month, can't wait! Also nice NSV for me: today I'm taking a couple of pairs of size 18 jeans to the charity shop as they are falling off my waist. :D Question for UK ladies:- I have several pairs of M&S classic jeans and a couple of pairs of Per Una, all the same size. So how come the Per Una ones still fit me (albeit with a belt) while the M&S ones are now too big? They are the same style (waist high boot cut). I love Per Una but do generally find the sizing a bit snug. What's going on there then?

    Sunday here and yesterday I did my second fast day for the week. I'm not feeling very energetic lately so I'm going to up my protein, lower my carbs and try to cut out the crap. Hopefully that'll help :smile:

    Happy days and awesome nights everyone

    Went quite a bit over my TDEE yesterday, but managed to lose .8 lbs this week. Next two weeks will be tough with the kids off school...always more temptations around. Hopefully I can maintain. Have a great weekend everyone. :D

    Little late on posting update but no loss this week. :frowning:

    Leaving next week to celebrate Easter and my birthday with our families in Florida. Taking a little mini-break from my 5:2 fasting and TDEE days. Happy knowing that I have lost 15 lbs and, hopefully, will not gain them all back over our vacation. :smiley:

    Have a great week, loves!

    Week 30 - .0 lbs (0.0 kg )
    Total loss as of 03/27/2015 15.6 lbs (7.08 kg)
