FD#2 for me today and after my blow-out celebration dinner last night its just as well. I'm still full up from a steak dinner, I ate twice as much as I would normally do on a weekday so quite happy to live off herbal tea and a few veggies today. @karen_fitzgibbon‌ I know exactly what you mean, any processed foods make me feel bloated and sluggish these days so I try to stay away from them.

Good morning everyone! I fasted yesterday and jumped on the scale just to see where I was at because I ate so much crappy food this weekend. Much to my surprise, I was down to 165.8!!! Lowest I've been since I was about 18 weeks pregnant! This was also the first "mini" goal I set for myself, so I'm super proud to reach that!

Awesomeness!!!!!

Whoohoo!

Finally a day at my desk after a week long training and another all-day training yesterday. Wish I could say I'm getting smarter as a result lol.

I personally love training because it gives me a bigger perspective outside of my day-to-day tasks and opportunity to talk to other people outside of my normal scope....HOWEVER, that means not getting my everyday work done. So feeling a bit flustered and all over the place! Need to write me a to-do list!

I have been fasting consistently during the week, but also eating WAY TOO MUCH (also consistently lol) during the weekend. However, the plus side of this is that I don't gain and maintain my previous week's lowest (but don't make any progress haha).

This morning I was back at my previous lowest (286.8)...yay 280's! Love it when it starts with that! I am fasting today so we'll see if I can get any lower tomorrow, but I'll still be happy when I don't see 290 something lol! That's my goal of the weekend- don't get back over 290!!! Stay in the 280's even for my highest weight of the week. THAT is the progress I want!



((((((HUGS to everyone from your absent MFP lol)))))) I still heart you~ absence makes the heart grow fonder right????

Hugs right back @thecarbmonster! Fast day for me. Going okay...didn't weigh the steamed red snapper my hubby made for lunch so not quite sure how much that was, but as it was steamed with no added fat I think I'm okay. Cheers to all of the fasters today! Went a tad over my TDEE for yesterday but have done loads better and not like a thousand calories over like usual lol!

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

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.

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

I hear you @ACLS3 - boredom an impatience somtimes gets to me on FDs too, but as @cal0rina‌ says - tomorrow we can always have pudding

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

Happy days and awesome nights everyone
