    Good Morning! Monday was supposed to be a fast day but I am sick. By the time I got home and started eating, I couldn't stop. I think I ate around 800 calories. Blah! Not going to do 2 more days, so it's just going to have to count. I had to take off work yesterday, and I'm back today. Will try again tomorrow, and see how it goes.

    Finally a fast day! Non-normal work days are throwing me off so still haven't gotten to the forums as much as I want! Just checking in. .8 down last week (any progress is good progress to me haha), so hoping to get back to that again this week. I keep pushing "weight loss" off as a priority to eating (lol), but that just means maintenance is an even bigger part of my focus.

    Non-dieting news: Mom has officially decided on retiring at the end of this school year (after trying to stay on the fence as long as possible haha)! Excited to celebrate her transition! I know there is a school system ceremony, at least 1 school retirement party, and then we're planning to have a family picnic party, so would be nice to lose a few more pounds just so I will have more energy to keep up haha!

    You got a lot on your plate, girlfriend! Just get well. Fasting will be there when you are ready for it.

    Yay 2lbs down this week! :p Double my normal loss and only one "official" FD. But on two of my normal non-FD's I had my main meal at lunchtime then either didn't eat at all in the evening or only had a light snack. Maybe that made the difference because everything else was the same. Hmm with muse upon this while I bask in the prospect of all the Easter chocolate that awaits me :p

    Have a good day everyone! :)

    Poor bunny B) Nice results!

    I'm off work and taking care of my mom's dog. I am doing an at home fast today. After a walk in gale winds and rain, I am slurping on my mid morning coffee and tea. Then off for a shower.

    Hope your weather over the easter weekend is better than here!!

    FD#2 and I'm already having my coffee.. I normally don't have ANY calories until dinner time but I'm still battling a pretty horrible cold/chest thing, I just have a much harder time when I'm sick. Highly doubt i'll be losing anything tomorrow, but it's okay.

    Well.....my fast went well until 15h....no longer a fast day, but still quite a bit under TDEE. I think, I'll just stay under my TDEE until Saturday. Next fast won't be plausible until next Thursday. I'll try to get some days of 16:8 in as that helps me stay within my cals.

    I recently weaned myself of my 'coffee flavored cream & sugar'. Now I just have black coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a couple of ice cubes. It's definately not the same, but it isn't bad; even with the cinnamon it's less than 5 calories for a cup. Hope you feel better soon bburg86!

    Well, I screwed up last night. I had extra TDEE to blow, so thought I'd enjoy a glass of wine. Turns out I drank almost the whole bottle, roughly 700 cals. I see it this AM on the scale. No sneaking any Cadbury eggs for me this weekend :(

    Take away curry for tea last night, full tdee but worth it. Baked a low fat strudel cake for work tonight, precut it and at 150cals a slice I can still do a fast day, o:)
