    Karen - I had that for a while, when I started fasting. It went back to normal after a while. Enjoy the energy B)

    Soooo tired. :tired_face: Spent the day at the zoo with my son's kinder class. Talk about herding cats! But it was priceless to see them so excited to encounter all the different animals. However, I am ready for bed. Start FD #2 tomorrow.

    @bburg86 - When you have a young one, options are better than gold. So glad you will be able to get out more in your new neighborhood.

    Me too!!! Where we live right now is RIGHT off a major interstate and there are always 18 wheelers flying off the exit. It's just not safe. I cannot wait to be able to get into the new place and be able to walk around!

    Darn, MFP ate my post. Or maybe I keysmashed thanks to 2 hours of sleep and buzzing off abnormal levels of coffee intake haha!

    Back to 50 down second week in a row, woo hoo. Ultimate goal, make my highest/starting weight of the week that 50 pounds down number lol.

    I'm getting closer to my next ADIOS goal to permanently kick 290's out of ma' house forever (even on my high weigh-in days), but I CAN say for 100% sure that 295 has been permanently deported because I haven't seen it again since 2/20 woo woo.

    Just completed a 6:1 maintenance week and finished the fast.

    Broke it with a Quest Bar because it's late and I shouldn't make a racket in the kitchen... that was a bit anticlimactic, ha.

    Today I grocery-shopped right in the middle of my fast, which was a pretty cool exercise I think. Didn't buy anything unusually stupid. Stomach growled a bit but no big deal.

    Have a good week!

    5:2 Week 2
    FD #3
    Total -1kg

    I am alive & not hungry, in fact when dinner came around and I had my 2nd 250cal meal I didn't want to eat it, just didn't feel the need.
    Chocolate/sweet cravings are gone, could be because I have incorporated 1 dark chocolate square per day in my diet.
    Found that on my regular days I am not as hungry as I use to be, I almost don't need to calculate at all (but I am a control freak, so let's not get too hasty)

    9PM, feel good.

    Good luck to you all! xx

    well done everyone! I have been awful this week - four semi-fasts ie. really good until 4pm and then inability to walk past biscuits, chocolate eggs and walnut bread. Two parents' evenings haven't helped. So under 1000 but pure rubbish and junk. But I tell myself the immediate goal is losing the last stubborn 5lbs and then I'll get my head around eating properly, exercising, cleaning my house, doing my marking etc.

    Fast day #2 for me!!! I am officially stuck at a plateau it seems! I've been 167.2 for over two weeks. I'm glad I'm not gaining but come on! I was 167.2 AGAIN this morning when I got on the scale. Hopefully tomorrow I'll see a drop. I just REALLY want to hit 10lbs lost! Badly!!!

    @forevertoday‌ - Woohoo! Doing great!

    @lulu1066 - You can do it! Have your family hide the biscuits, chocolate eggs and walnut bread on your fast days. :wink:

    @bburg86 - Your body is going through a lot of changes. Give it a bit more time before you declare yourself stuck. Could be you are converting fat into muscle which will work for you in the end.

    Well tried to do a fast today, but ended just over a thousand. Will try another day. But at least it was a low calorie day.

    Well done everyone!

    My second fast went ok. I'm about 200 over, but I'm Ok with that today. Feeling much better than last week. Tired now and heading off to zeezee land. 3 very busy and emotion laden days ahead of me, so a good nights sleep is definitely a good idea.

    Probably won't be around much, so have fun without me :p

    My second fast day tomorrow. I don't know what's going on but I couldn't stop eating today, I downed an entire 200g bar of milka caramel, about 20 chocolate covered marshmallows, 2 chocolate cream eclairs, 8 chocolate biscuits and half a twix. Also breakfast, lunch and dinner, oh and I nearly forgot the Nutella... I feel sick just reading this and yet I'm still not satiated.
