To sdfrcf - yup, if he thinks he could handle my endless nonsense.

Mini goals for this week; Increase my water intake. Go to Zumba after work on Friday. Register a loss on Saturday (weekly weigh in) - however small it may be Enjoy a treat-filled, guilt-free weekend away with my husband to celebrate our joint 41st birthdays

Hey guys. I asked this before but think the last group went "phut" before I saw an answer. If you are tracking on MFP in conjunction with doing 5:2, do you set your daily calorie goal at TDEE? Do you track exercise burns too? My TDEE is around 1900-2000 depending on the calculator and I've set my MFP at 1800 (as a guide…

Probably not, I don't think I'm in his demographic.

Sure.

Ice cream.

smoothy made with coconut water, banana and blueberries for lunch (or a two egg omelette with ham) and a piece of fish or chicken with veges/salad for tea. Still leaves me room for an Atkins chocolate hazelnut crisp bar for a snack and a scoop of ice cream for dessert! Very easily maintained so far. o:)

Oh whew! Thanks Foamroller for pointing me in the right direction. Withdrawals were kicking in!

I like that you can do this without having to get a Diploma in Pic Posting first! (just testing with a random pic)

Today I tried a size 12 (size 8 US) bikini in a store and didn't projective vomit all over the changing room mirror. I actually BOUGHT it, and may even wear it come summer. I've never worn a bikini in public in my 41 years of life...but am just about ready to unleash myself on the unsuspecting masses, lumps, bumps and all.…

Happy October all! I've been a naughty little vegemite and completely forgotten I'd joined this lovely group! Been doing 5:2 for almost 3 weeks now and have lost 2.4kgs (depending on what day I weigh myself), so feeling pretty good heading up to my 41st birthday on the 16th. Bought myself a sexy slinky black jumpsuit and…

If that's mine you were referring to - it's kinda a wedding dress, but THANK YOU!:flowerforyou:

Great sense of style...and TIDY ROOM!

Great progress - well done!

I'll be 41 next month, am 5'4. SW: 164lbs (yikes!) CW: 150lbs GW: 140lbs Like some others here, I simply cannot imagine myself looking healthy much lower than 140lbs.

It's kinda the reverse of "Congratulations, when are you due?!" isn't it? Best to stay WELL clear until/unless he wants to share with you.

Doesn't look like anyone's biting. That'll be those ED's you're talking about.:tongue:

Great post.

Pop over to NZ and I'll feed ya the good stuff...for nothing. :wink:

Love that! You're right of course, but surely there's a happy medium somewhere? I don't imagine she came here expecting folks to blow wind up her bum, but given the obvious fragility exposed in her original post I think some may have found a slightly gentler approach may have resonated more. Regardless, there is lots of…

Sheesh. Give the girl a break! I don't imagine it's easy to lay yourself bare in front of complete strangers when you already feel like a failure...and having your honesty questioned on top of it?! I get that most of you are just trying to help, but let's not kick the girl while she's down huh? *steels herself for the…

I don't have any advice to add to what's already been (and will be) said, but your story made me just want to reach through the screen and give you a massive hug...and I'm not even a huggy person! I can only imagine your frustration. It sounds like you've been working so hard, trying to do everything right and staying…

Ruggedness.

Smile just beaming with a sense of accomplishment and pride. :smile:

3. Dayum (sorry, was too busy "researching" and missed my turn)! PS. Don't they make zips in pants where you live? :tongue:
