Hi everyone, Another fast day done yesterday and it’s going well. Work is busy, and I’m back at the gym, although it’s hard going getting back into it. @meghan509 i do my weekly shop in Aldi, love the quality of the food. And the salmon with chilli and ginger is to die for..... @KateNkognito good news about the interview,…

Hi all, Fast day went really well, even had a trip to the gym. Easy going, just taking it 1 day at a time. Planned for the week and done the food shop, although the house is full of chocolate. Will have to take it to work, or better still to the local care home. Hope you all have an amazing weekend. @orlcam thanks for the…

Just getting back into 5:2 again. 1st fast day today. Will let you know later how I get on. 🤞😁

2nd Fast day for me today. Drinking lots of water, I do try to get at least 2 litres in during work, which I find not too bad as I just sip it all day long. I've decided having a very light lunch and a decent evening meal works best for me, though I am having some fruit as a snack this afternoon. I've planned exactly what…

I'm back. 1st fast was Sunday and went well, going to have my 2nd fast for this week tomorrow. I usually fast Sunday and Thursday, but I have a meal out on Thursday so I'm changing my day for this week to Wednesday. That's what I like about 5:2 you can move the days around depending on what's going on.

I've started over again. 1st fast back was Sunday, and I'm sticking with it again. I managed to shift 30lb last time, so this time I'm sticking with it.

Am I too late to join? Had an op on my ankle, and am 3 weeks post op now, so time to get back on the fasting wagon. Did my 1st fast yesterday, and it went ok. Made around 600 cals, so not kicking myself over it. My only problem is exercising, at the moment, I'm in a ROM boot and it's fixed to 90 degrees, so no movement.…

I'm planning on starting C25K if anyone wants to join me. :D

I'm hoping to do a back to back fast tomorrow and Wed. I have a leaving lunch on Thurs, which would be my normal fast day. Good luck everyone.

I'm donating blood after work, so I will have to plan my fast day very carefully. I was thinking of having a cup of soup with some crispbreads for lunch, then a small bag of popcorn, so by the time I donate I would still have eaten over 200 cals. My dinner tonight will be Prawn salad, followed by a small piece of dark…

@ Orlcam - glad to have you lurking in the background. Just remember we're all here for the same reason, and are here to support you if you need us. <3 I'm attempting 16:8 today, to see if that will curb my picking in the evening :# . My plan is to have my dinner about 6, give that an hour to settle. I'm hoping to get a…

I think it depends on the relationship as you are growing up. I had very little to do with my father and have always idolised my mother. She was always there to support me and encourage me and now I'm grown I'm still extremely close to my mother. My parents divorced when I was 8, and I didn't see anything of my father…

Last fast day for me today. Weigh in tomorrow. I bought a new set of scales this week, so will see what I weigh as when I got on them they were weighing heavier than the old ones. Going to take whatever they say and carry on. I've also come to the conclusion that I need to work on my non fast days. I'm still eating a lot…

I'm 52% Constant Craver, 41% Feaster and 7% Emotional. No surprise to me, I already do 5:2, so am going to add in High Protein, low GI on my non fast days. Watching again tonight to see how they've been getting on. :D

I'm 52% constant craver, 41% feaster and 7% emotional. Watching the programme over the last couple of evenings have made me come to the conclusion, I probably need to do 5:2 with a combination of high protein/low GI on my non fast days. I do agree that one diet doesn't fit all, and a combination of things works for each…

@uptightoutasight‌ it's because I ate too much. :(

Weigh in this morning and I'm 4lb down. That's the water weight gone, now time to work on the fat I put on over my break from 5:2. Lesson learned:- don't stop 5:2 and guess, you'll just put on..... :s Onwards and downwards. :p

It's a great start. I would read the pinned post regarding the Michael Mosely documentary and also watch the documentary. Also this group is very positive and I'm sure you'll find great help and advice. The one tip I would give anyone starting 5:2 would be to plan your fast days. When you're having them, what you're going…

2nd fast day today for me, I will get through it. Weigh in tomorrow. :)

I tend to quick add the calories, complete the entry then go back and delete the quick added calories. :)

@‌loveswalking - satsumas are small oranges, like clementines or small tangerines.

Fast day yesterday went well. Not quite as planned, as I went out with my mum and daughter for the afternoon, so skipped lunch. Ended up with the following for the day:- 2 baked eggs with a very large salad. 70% dark chocolate penguin from Hotel Chocolate. Pink Lady apple 2 small satsumas. Lots of water and black coffee.…

@Foamroller‌ thinking of you. Make sure you look after yourself. <3

@flumi_f‌ - hope you're feeling better soon. <3 1st fast day for me today. My plan is to have the following:- Lunch - baked egg. Dinner - salmon in ginger and lime and a large salad Snack - hotel chocolate 70% dark chocolate baton, Apple Lots of water and coffee. Putting it out there so I stick to it. :D Good luck anyone…

Beautiful quote 1st fast tomorrow, and so looking forward to it. ;)

New year new start.

@flumi. The view on the 1st pic is amazing, and the second pic is so pretty. @Orlcam. Thanks for sharing your experience. No thanksgiving here, and just getting over a bad cold or maybe it was flu. Started with a bad throat moved on to shivers and aching. Decided to abandon fast until I felt better, so started back today.…

Fantastic news. Get your party on girl.

@flumi. You look fantastic. I love your hair, and your outfit is super cute.

@snaps27. Your progress is great. As Neonbeige said, the 1st pic you look so happy and carefree. :)
