Have been busy all day today with early morning 4K walk then a little lunch and out with the dog in the pouring rain and did 3.5k then hosed the muddy dog off and vacuumed the house then decided to use our weight machine and did an hour on that and increased my weights for some positions! After my long hot shower I'm not really too hungry so this may end up being a fast day! I'm going to sleep well tonight!

So glad you had an awesome adventure away flumi!!

How is everyone doing??
@ravensdiet15 how are your days going??

Just completed B2B and doing another fast Thursday to make that a 4:3. Struggling to shift last 5lbs!!!

I'm finally back on track after a week or two of not wanting to diet at all. I tend to self-sabotage every time I hit a mini-goal, which is I think a combination of my body wanting to take a pause to re-set at the new weight, and me being tired of having to plan out my food all the time. I doubt I'll have a loss this week, but if I can get back to where I was before I went off the rails, I'll be happy.

I'm fasting T/Th this week. Tuesday was hard, a lot hungrier than I usually am, but I stuck it out.

Good FDs on Monday and Wednesday this week. Had to be Wed even though that's my day off, but I kept busy with housework and a pamper session. My new find this week has been "courgetti", spirallised courgette (zuchini) sold in Tesco. I steamed half a carton and stirred through a couple of cubes (14 cals each) of Laughing Cow cravings, for a really tasty lunch at under 100.

Also tried the cauliflower couscous, which I used as a rice substitute with a rather lip-smacking Iceland chicken bhuna (400 cals)

The scale is moving downwards. I can't tell by exactly how much, as I now have an old fashioned swinging-pointer machine. But that's OK - using a digital scale sometimes leads to a false sens of accuracy (Oh look, I'm 136.3 pounds!). Whereas weight is a lot more fuzzy than that. So a few weeks ago I was hovering over 10 stone. This week I am definitely under 10 stone. Goal is to be hovering around 9 (126 pounds)

@mamainthekitchen - the tight jean tip was so good I have to get a new pair of tight jeans...cause mine aren't so tight anymore! ;-) Down 2.5 this week thanks to you and your helpful tip!

Wow, kids!!! It sounds like all of you are moving in the right direction! Loose jeans, agreeable scale...you guys rock!! I had a great FD yesterday. We left to go camping last weekend and I got thrown into a busy week right when we got back. I don't know about you, but I need a day to regroup. I didn't do that this time and it threw everything off. But yesterday was a good reset day. This weekend will be spent getting organized with cooking, cleaning, and getting my mind right. I'm really hoping to get to my goal before the end of April (bday on the 29th). It's totally doable, but I know if I allow too many days where I don't have my act together go by, I won't reach my goal. Here's to staying focused, everyone. Cheers!!

Hello everyone from the vast wilderness of months off 5:2. My lame excuse was that I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and put on steroids which turned me into the Very Hungry Caterpillar for several months. So now I'm back and looking forward to getting back on the wagon. Also feeling much better. Very nice to hear that you have found a lovely fella Flumi. Going to try to do 4:3 ( Monday, weds and Friday ) until I can see my toes, and then back to 5:2. Am not going to get on the scales or is this a bit pathetic?
