It's Saturday evening...time to post the new weekly thread 
My past week didn't go well as far as weightloss and fasting go. Was over quite a bit on both fasts, ate more than enough on the other five days too, thus not surprised, that my weight is up a bit to last Saturday. My exercise last week was limited too. I've been very busy at work and being sick in my first work week put me behind even more.
On a positive note...I did do a 30 min session on the rebounder followed by a 30 min bodyweight training on Thursday and I had a pretty nice run today. It felt good to get back into my exercise routine, to feel the tired muscles afterwards and a bit of sore abs the next day.
Since my operation in October and the following recuperation, I keep starting my exercise again and then life gets busy or I got sick..... I need to get out of hibernation and really start up with a more regular routine again, if I am to be strong and fit for my second operation in 4mth. I have a bit of a quieter week coming up, so I will try to keep up with this. Once I am back at it for a while, it becomes more 'normal' and I don't put it off as quickly. A walk as well as my rebounder / bodyweight workout are on the list for tomorrow.
Have an awesome Sunday!

Hi Flum, great Job on the activity. I too need to really kick into gear with a regular routine.
I've lost 8.5lbs since January 1st. I really need to keep this ball rolling. This week I'm planning on 4:3. With Tues/Thursday for sure fast days and the other one will get thrown in where it fits. I love that this is working!!!
Good luck everyone!0 -
I have a busy work and volunteer week ahead so have changed my fast days around. Doing Mon/Thurs instead of usual Tues/Thurs.
I had a great first week back on the programme and kept active and healthy on my nfd too - one BAD alcohol night, but that's better than the usual 3 or 4!
Looking forward to the coming week, building on initial weight loss. Excited!0 -
I had a BAD alcohol night last night, and may have a mildly naughty one today, but I'm sticking to no wine in the week (unless I go out for lunch, on a nfd of course). Managed 3 fast days last week, as it was a quiet week, but back to 2 this week - probably Tuesday and Thursday as Monday is Pilates then food shopping and I'm going to a bilingual pantomime (am dram) on Friday. I'm only weighing 4-weekly, so no weight change to report. Hope we all have a good week!0
-
Why are you two drinking bad alcohol? If you drink, I would ressort to the good stuff 0
-
good alcohol and bad dancing night last night.0
-
Well done, lulu. No reason to spend cals on bad alcohol
Got in my exercise today. 100min of walking, 30 min with Jillian Michaels and 30 min on the rebounder. Off to shower and then I shall cook myself something yummy for dinner.
Not fasting tomorrow as I will be out for lunch, so I've moved it to Tuesday. Good luck to all of you Monday Fasters!0 -
Actually it was lovely alcohol - Prosecco and Merlot (not together) and similar tonight (plus cider in the Hairy Dieters' casserole, but that will mostly cook off.0
-
Mine was lovely alcohol too, it just made for a BAD me!!0

JJ what ARE you like!0

Hi Everyone - this is my first time posting here. I've been doing 4:3 for the last 2 weeks and it seems to be working really well for me. I'm fasting Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 100 cal lunch and 400 cal dinner. Although I've slipped up here and there I'm down 6 pounds as of today but my official weigh-in for the week isn't until Tuesday. I expect my weight loss will slow now and I'm feeling ok with that. Currently having a chat with myself about adding in exercise on my non-fast day. I'll get there.0

Hello!
I've been on MFP for some time now, but have only just started using the boards. I love this one because it's fellow-fasters and because everyone is so normal!! I look forward to chatting with you!0 -

Hehe!0 -
No no, JJA, we aren't normal
....We're awesome
Seriously, we just aren't as hangry as 'normal' dieters, thus more tolerant, happier and nicer...at least that is my theory.0 -
That's a very good point. Regular dieters are on a relentless treadmill of misery and we're just one day away from pudding at any time, so generally hopeful and positive. Hadn't thought of it like that. Hiya smallstuff - we're going to have to push each other through mon,wed, fri! Enjoy what's left of the weekend everyone.0
-
"one day away from pudding" Haha! That's so true! God I love 5:2!0
-
That is such a great way to think of it. I will use that as my mantra this coming week.0
-
Oh I love this thread!!!
We aren't "Hangry" at all!

Morning, you lovely lot!
I'm trying a back-to-back low carb approach this week Monday-Tuesday. I'll be trying to keep myself very busy!0 -

Hi yah girls! Sounds like there's been a lot of partying going on, naughty
Had fast day on Saturday and that went well. Had pizza for dinner on Sunday, that didn't go well (but just had kiwi for lunch)...didn't log, but know I went over. Back to logging today and so far so good have eaten 700cal of my maintenance calories so far and planning a sensible dinner. Next fast days will be tomorrow and Thursday and then Saturday...maybe that will kick me into gear and kick me in the bum. Have a reat week everyone!0 -
Fast day today. Good thing, cause my weekend got away from me! Hope everyone has a great week!0
-
Haha I can't blame it on being "hangry" anymore!
Happy new week, yall! I tracked probably 75% of my TDEE day on Saturday (huge improvement) and maybe 50% on Sunday. I love that tracking isn't a requirement on your TDEE days, but I still feel like I have a lot to learn about "normal"/"maintenance" calories vs eating EVERYTHING BECAUSE I CAN. It's like fasting days- once you go through a few, you gain confidence because you know you can make it through and you know you can be satisfied and happy while limiting. However, when I can eat anything, I think about food non-stop lol. Saturday I was busy so I barely thought about food, but Sunday, at home, I kept getting up to go to the kitchen. Still room for improvement
Excited to see a new lower "high" weight of the week! 292! I'm feeling confident that I will get down to my 50 pounds lost this week of 289. Even if I don't, I'm excited that I have gotten past 295 and hoping to add it to my "weight graveyard!".
Dates I said goodbye to those numbers and haven't seen them again (even with weight fluctuations):
Under 330: 8/5/2014
Under 320: 9/9/2014
Under 310: 10/8/2014
Under 300: 11/8/2014
Under 295: 1/21/2015????

Hi everyone, my first time posting on a weekly thread. It's my first fasting day today and I'm struggling.....I really want to eat kebab meat lol! And that's not good even on a non fasting day! I think I need to drink more so I'm sat here with a nice cup of tea
Sounds like you're all doing really well, well done 0 -
Today's exercise is done. A good 45min on the rebounder. Did OK food wise without logging. My newest experiment.....only logging / limiting treats, as cals in the bank were always spent instead of listening to my body.
Have brushed my teeth and will soon be off to TaiChi class, thus no more food today ;-)
Fast day tomorrow - meals cooked, portioned and logged ;-)0 -
OK, I have to ask finally as I still can't work it out...
What's TDEE??0 -

Water - drink some water. Fizzy water is good. with ice and a slice. Or a nice herbal/fruit tea. If you really need something to eat choose something munchie to keep your hands busy. I love sugar snap peas and carrot sticks, cut up in a cute little pot.
You CAN do this, Mallow, you CAN!
(And if you really can't, just go to bed!!!)0 -
Yikes! Just read your posts, flumi, and realised I have done NO exercise today and am now out for a meeting until 9:30pm. Will get the stepper out when I get home.0
-
TDEE is total daily energy expenditure aka maintainance cals ;-) What you are supposed to eat on non fast days...some complain they never get that high...I complain, that I'm often over.... 0
-
keep strong lovelies! About 4pm here and had my 48 cal cuppa soup. Gotta get through this evening but nice low cal homemade soups in fridge. Peckish though... Will try JJ's tip of fizzy water and lemon...0
-
Well I failed and had too many cals, going to change this fasting day to Wednesday! Thanks for the tips, I'll be ready when Wednesday comes!!!0
