Hi all nice to see people are still around. I'm still on it and have having 2 fast days a week but not loosing a lot as my focus is more on my kids being off school etc and my exercise routines faulter. My weight has somewhat stabilised and i'm not doing very well in shifting the last 7llbs but at least i'm still on a plan…

Hi all so i'm back on loosing the caravan break weight...argh every time 2llb in a wkd whaaat! Anyway struggled mon and Tue although didn't over do it and now have a light day in the bag. Thanks all for the boost x good luck everyone. Well done on steps Mamainthekitchen x

I hear how hard it is mamainthekitchen! I had a rebelious moment yesterday afternoon as i think i allowed myself to get hungry and i was tired too so had no willpower, however i logged the cals and adjusted my tea and went for a walk. My friends cnc our evening due to childcare issues so i didn't have to endure the…

Where are all the 5:2's started a new post x

Meghan this is me the weekends of fun aren't doing any favours and i'm in limbo. I feel the same trying to kick the last 7llbs for a while now but that fluctuates between 5 and 11llbs. Not good but i'm back on it and resisting temptation. I'm actually fine in the week it's when i get to wkds when we see friends! I have had…

Hi all had a good day staying in cals but it's so hot that i lack motivation with moving as it's exhausting. Still walked for 1.5 hrs today.

Hi all i'm still here just about. I'm still trying to shift the last bit it may be slow but at least i'm still raining myself in. I've just had a night away staying with my brother partner and baby daughter. My first time meeting my new niece and i was loved up. My youngest is 5 1/2 so been a while since a baby has been…

Thanks Meghan. You sound so upbeat! X I'm slowly getting back on it but it's a testing week as just very demanding which makes you feel like crumbling. I'm logging so hopefully that will prompt me to re- focus!

I'm here but only just after my birthday and camping i've not been on it which is so tough when last week i sat and ate watermellon when others ate cake....oh well it will come back..

How did you do KateNkognoto? Spanishfusion when i posted on here when feeling tempted it helped me seems like it might have done for you today too! I've survived today within 500! I stood on the scales this morning and had lost another 2 llbs so it gave me a boost before i started my light day today. I haven't been in a…

Hi all super busy day but finally getting to stop. Going to try another fast tomorrow but i usually find this easier with two days between my fast days but Friday i will be around too many people to eat light when they do. Hope everyone else is having a good wk.

Ouch i just wrote a full post then as my dogs jumped on me for a cuddle i knocked my elbow on the radiator which finishes at the same height as sofa which made them freak out barking all protective and i lost my whole post lol!!! Anyway where was i... Well done Ryenday, it is so hard juggling extra commitments with dieting…

I never realised how sweet my tooth is until recent months mamainthekitchen!

Hi all still on track the weekend is so much harder though hey! We went to a regatta with street stalls everywhere i had a little fudge and cheesecake today and it was soo good but took the dogs out this eve to balance it out! I don't know about anyone else but allowing myself to have a half portion is ok like once i've…

Arh yes i feel that happen if i have a treat in the day i struggled to feel satisfied for the rest of it. However if it is in the eve i'm ok.

Hi all feeling like i want some toast just for comfort but staying strong as i'm not actually hungry plus i've stayed on track today so determined to stay that way and i feel saying that on here confirms it too!!

I've lost 2 of my 3llbs gained so i'm on track. Factoring in my one treat per day helps along with seeing pics in recent bbq parties and thinking 'yep i look slim in this picture'. :-)

Hi there welcome! When i reached plateau i upped my exercise and took my cals down by 200 to boost again. I think i would rather be plateau than yo yo which is where i am hood luck x

Hi all i am still here just about lol We were camping last week taking the kids to a safari park great fun but as you have heard me talk about it before the caravan makes me relax which means the diet too. So i didn't log last week so that means you eat more than you realise. I have come home and i put on 3llbs i know that…

Well done Meghan straight back on it! I seem to be so on it then so off it and happy to be lead to temptation! I think this follows a light day that i struggled with but was still on 500. However i still stayed within 1400 today and exercised so not all is lost really i just have a little sugar and get scared i'm going to…

It's nice to abandone rules sometimes and let your hair down and go with it. I still log as realistically as i can as it helps me see why the scales might be sticking. A cream tea Leeg5656 is a scone with jam and clotted cream! It's called an afternoon tea when it is packaged with a pot of tea and usually served on tiered…

Hi all these summer nights are full of temptation with burgers and ice cream. I'm still on it though! Life is busy and we've been enjoying the work put into our garden. Hope all is well... i have a cream tea lunch date tomorrow so starting off with watermellon for breakfast and going for chicken salad for tea. Good luck all

Fast day done and exercise achieved. I thi k i've done three in a week just because i splurgef at the wkd...wine and cake will do that! When do people weigh in relation to a fast day?

Oh my i wrote loads then clicked done....uff can't be doing with waffling again so will check in tomorrow. Hope you're wkds were fab!

I agree Leeg5656 planning in controlled treats stops me having a blow out and i've found the tactic tk work. I've lost 3llbs i'm super chuffed as i've been trying to get out walking more so it's obviously helped. I'm now past my sticking weight and 5llb away from my final goal. Just hope i'm happy once there as i seem to…

I also think 5:2 will be my forever moto. How do you find out your maintainence? Is it trial and error? A good well controlled no frills week for me i have 1400 per day and 1-2 fast days per week. Obviously rule of thumb when you look it up it says 2000 but when i was on 1700 and fast days i only lost weight the first 6…

Hi all, i remember you saying, mamainthekitchen, that about fats and cravings i will see if it helps for me too. I think sometimes the more i eat the more i want. We went out for tapas today mini portions of garlic prawns, potato skins, sauteed mushrooms, olives and balsami however i didn't have wine as chose to drive and…

Hiya... So i ended up with such a busy day that i made it a light one by default, kinda good i guess, and managed quite well. I'm yo yoing within a few pounds i've found so i get down 3 back up 2 etc down 1 up 2. I know what i have to do but you do go between feeling empowered to rebellious. The last half a stone is…

Welcome Legg5656! I have always had breakfast so therefore i have it when fasting i usually have pikelets at 120 cals for two with marg, or yogurt with fruit for around the same. Then save the rest for tea perhaps chicken, salad and small jacket potato then it leaves space for a small bag of popcorn and cuppa in the eve.…

Hi all thank you for your encouragement. Things sound well for everyone getting fast days in. Happy birthday Meghan! Get well soon Kate it does set you back x Well done on your loss ryenday i go to bed too when snacky funnily enough i don't wake up hungry!? Been there Jknight when i go crazy i go crazy for the sweet stuff,…
