And by the way, ObirdieO had her appendix out,so I'm not sure if she'll respond on here. She's probably still recovering as it was quite recent.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for being a bit AWOL, been away on hols for a week and as usual best intentions went down the drain with the dregs of a wine bottle or two. Back in action now though.

Starting weight - 197
Current weight - 197 !!! :drinker:
Height - 5' 0"

Thanks for doing the spreadsheet Nessy, much appreciated by all I'm sure.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Any space for me - or is this group full up now?

I can't look at the spreadsheet right now, because I'm on my mobile. Will look at it later.

I'm currently fasting the month of Ramadan. That means I can't eat or drink between 202am and
906pm(changes slightly ever day depending on break of dawn&sunset) It's the 3rd day today, so still quite some time to go. It's going quite well up until now.

Oh yes you can do a lot more than you think!!

It sounds really difficult to not eat and drink all day, but you do get used to it. I had a bad headache on the first day, but yesterday went much better.

Most muslims fast the month of Ramadan. Women who have their period don't fast. And women who are pregnant or breastfeeding&people who are sick are excused from fasting aswell but they can if they chose to.

We fast because God told us to do that, but there's a lot of wisdom behind it. It teaches patience and also like this you'll care more about other people who are really starving. Because let's face it, we eat 2 meals per day, so it isn't really unhealthy. And we aren't starving, because we know we'll eat at sunset.

The Islamic months aren't like normal months, because Ramadan is 11 days earlier each year, which means some years it's more difficult than others. In the winter the times are the easiest, like 5am til 3pm. But obviously it's summer now, so it's a bit more difficult now.

I think it'll really help me with my snacking behaviour, because I'm used to snacking a lot and now I can't! So I'm hoping that I won't fall into that bad habit again when Ramadan finishes. I only expect my normal weight loss of about 4kg per month,any more will be a very welcome extra, because my calorie intake is about 400 less than normal, BUT I'm exercising less than normal, so we'll see. I am trying though, but only easy things like my exercise bike,cleaning&walking. I can't do much after I have dinner, because I usually sleep early

I will go to try to exercise with my Kinect soon (EA Active) but only the easy exercises.

I try to drink as much water as I can at the times we can eat and drink, so I should be fine about not getting too dehydrated. But obviously it isn't the time for running I think lol.

How did we all do at the friday weigh in??

I was 114.7 kg last week and today I was 112.8 kg.

I should mention it was my TOM last week and I'm fasting Ramadan aswell,so it's probably something to do with those things aswell. (I had gained 0.2kg last week)

Weigh in day I was 215.4 and today I'm 212.6, loss of 2.8 lbs this week

Friday I was at 204 and I ate like crap and didn't exercise all weekend - ( I did go swimming yesterday.but I have a 2 year old that I hold pretty much the entire time.) This morning for my Monday weigh in - I am back down at least 2 pounds - I even had brownies last night.

go figure.

I have been trying to kick my metabolism up by eating some crap food. I am not a big fruits and veggie eater but if I could somehow make them taste a bit better in a not so fating way....I am so tired of the same old same old meals we always have..... so I was wondering if everyone would post maybe 1 meal recipe that they love that is easy to make and not so bad for you. here is a recent one that I enjoy - portions vary for how much you want to make.

1 box Penne
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 onion
2 bag diced chicken (I will sometimes buy the frozen pre cooked) *john soules foods
2 Vodka Sauce *Classico

dice up veggies and put in olive oil to cook
throw in the chicken its usually frozen but you could grill your own and dice
after that has been cooking and soft - pour on the sauce to warm
voilà

This will feed my family of 5 with some leftovers. I have 3 children. You can take out what you don't like or add to it - or change amounts. remember portion control.
