HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! HOW CAN 1200-1500 CALORIES BE CONSIDERED A FEAST? THE CLUE IS IN THE NAME! You are supposed to eat as much as you want on the feast days. IT IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS DIET. Read the bloody instructions BEFORE you start.

BURPEES

Aint nothing wrong with this! Much better for the environment! And nothing wrong with a stand up wash either..... Isn't it known as a *kitten*'s wash?

So true! And it wastes water people! How dirty can you actually get in a few hours :sad: :blushing:

Pay someone to come to clean her house and make some home-cooked food a few weeks after she's had the baby!

What you talking about?! YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESTRICT YOUR CALORIES ON THE 5:2 DIET APART FROM ON THE "FAST" DAYS. Them's the rules. If you are doing the 5:2 just to lose weight, then it's not for you. IT'S NOT A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. And to say IN MY OPINION before you change how you follow the diet is just nonsense. Similar…

Not sure about feeling your old fellow but very pleased to be your friend! Oops just read "local" support and I'm not that :embarassed: :sad:

^^ Agree 100%. And I love your dog.

OMG totally forgot about the gazillion breast pads I got through! I was using the Tommee Tippee disposable ones. Ooh and some kind of sling thing. I had a Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier that I used daily until DD was too big to fit in it! We're pretty rural and so much easier when going for a walk than taking a pushchair. Also…

You're not actually following the 5:2 diet. That diet is 500 calories 2 days a week, then as many calories as you want for the other 5 days a week. It's not actually meant to be about losing weight, it's about the long term health benefits you can gain from eating like this - lowers your risk of cancer, dementia, heart…

Muslin cloths and onesies (in the UK we call them babygro's). My daughter lived in these for at least the first 6 months. Much more comfy than trying to stuff them into "proper" clothes. Muslin cloths cos they sick up ALL the time. You seem to have everything else covered and you'll just end up cluttering your house up…

Allegedly, Bobby Brown would help Whitney Houston out when she was constipated by using a spoon. I have no idea what he meant by that, but apparently that was real love. Oranges are really good too. And senna laxatives (follow the instructions!)

Sainsbury's cafe. Yes, I really am that classy.

LOL - surely this is a joke! Aaah I miss the Flintstones. And "shift knob"? That sounds dirty ha ha If I can't find "trampolining" then there's no way you should be able to find "driving a car".

That's awesome - congratulations! But now I want a sister too.

I use a cheap supermarket vitamin and mineral. It gives you 100% of the essentials and you don't need more than that! In my opinion, you never really know that what they say is in the tablet really IS inside the tablet! Why someone would pay 10 times the price for a fancy label is beyond me. You could try a liquid iron…

Dirty moles making a mess on my lawn... oh wait, I've had 3 taken off from my face. It's really not a big deal. I had them cut out and I have little faint white lines where they were. They were annoying as I'd occasionally knick them when I was washing my face if I was using a wash cloth and make them bleed. My dad did it…

You're only using the liquor that is left after all those things have been cooked in it so the calories are fairly negligable. I'd just leave a few calories at the end of the day. Your calorie goal is only a guide after all. 10 calories here or there ever so often is unlikely to break you. If you work out how to milk an…

Logging EVERYTHING. Made me realise that I don't need to eat as much as I was previously eating. I used to wonder why I got fat - now I've faced up to the fact that I'm a glutton!

Good for you - you are the voice of reason! Some people can't see beyond the dollar signs...

Bet that kid is going to come out eating a burger. *ducks*

Wanted chocolate last night. Went to bed early instead. A bowl of dry cheerios is pretty good though. Sweet enough and last longer.

My dad has been doing the 5:2 diet for the longest time. 500 calories (for women) on "fast" days and AS MUCH AS YOU WANT on the other days. It has been proven (apparently) that you can't overeat (and subsequently put on weight) from this way of eating and that it doesn't make any different what kind of foods you are…

Just don't use a free one! Match.com is supposed to be good. Don't meet up with men too soon - the ones that ask to meet up after 20 minutes of chatting are the ones who are only after one thing.... Unless that's what you want! I wish you lots of luck!

Recieved: Just keep it in reserve, he'll know...

Awesome - whoever heard of a dog slowing you down?! She's just not following the 5:2 diet as it was designed, that's all.

Amen! You're just kidding yourself otherwise!

Agree with this - I was vegan for 3 years and I got fat. IMO it will be much harder to lose weight this way as you'll be limiting your food choices even more and it's much harder to get the nutrition you need from a vegan diet.

I can't call having some meat in a soup a treat! Do you have anything else with it? That is no way going to fill me up for long! Any idea on calories? Sounds a bit cabbage soup diet to me....

Don't eat the in the caf - bring a packed lunch.
