Frankly if my husband said that to me it would not 'scare' me to lose the weight but it would certainly make me lose weight. Then I would aim his backside out the door. I would not live with a man knowing his love was conditional on how I looked.

Often you get the opposite result. My mother tells my father he needs to lose weight and stop smoking, she stopped smoking a few years back, he tells her to leave him alone as it is his choice to eat what he eats and smoke. My husband has gained the pounds over the years, as have I. I have lost most of them with 5:2 (just…

Nope and in the words of Tigg_er - I would beat the crap out of him if he dared tell me I was gaining weight. :bigsmile:

There are days I really don't feel like exercising, when this happens I put on some dance music and dance my heart out for an hour. It flies by cos I love dancing and has the added bonus of burning a fair few calories. Exercise doesn't have to be torture just pick something you enjoy.

I lost 30 lbs in 3 months. Started at 189lb on 16th July 2013, by the 18th October 2013 I was 158.5. I took a break from it at the end of October, went on holiday, was busy with my social life (eating out a lot and drinking) and Christmas. Happily I only put on 3.5lbs, I say happily because I ate and drunk a lot of…

Front, back, middle don't care so long as I'm on it. x

Jillian Michael's 6 week 6 pack atm, have completed 30 day shred. Loving her workouts. :love:

Addicted to Ben & Jerry's peanut buttercup ice-cream atm, totally lush. Feel free to add me, this is a lifelong journey for me and I'm happy to support peeps on their journey. x

Finally bought a new pair of jeans today since the few pairs I own are a size 16 (uk), they were all tight on me at the start of my journey and are now being held up by a belt so they don't fall down. I took a few different sizes into the changing room and was elated to find I fit into a size 12 (uk) pair of jeans, I…

If I was to eat at 3am then I'd call it the start of my new day but I am more focused on the weeks calories Friday to Thursday, weighing every Friday. Doing 5:2 keeps it simple though so I really don't sweat it. This past week my calories were 2377, 2099, 1674, 1673, 538, 1653 and 717. Didn't stick religiously to the 500…

I would but I gave up all soda drinks 91 days ago. I did suffer from withdrawal for about a week or so but it got easier and now I can't say I miss it. Good luck, it will be a challenge to start with but hang in there. x

If you are following a traditional way of dieting then I advise eating between 1400-1800 calories per day, 5-6 small meals about 3 hours between each. I saw that you said you were starting up weight training, I would say to stop cardio workouts for the time being and concentrate on doing 20 minute sessions of high…

Mixed up with pasta, sweetcorn, onion and mayo. Yummy!

Skid Row - I remember you

I'm doing Jillian Michael's 6 week 6 pack and workout as soon as I get in from work before all the distractions start. I'm not a morning person so that's out and if I was to leave it til the evening it wouldn't happen. It's just a matter of fitting it into your busy schedule, good luck! :smile:

Applewood smoked. Well lush!

Not all are the same, thankfully. My youngest son, who is 18, has just started university and is looking for a weekend job to supplement his student loan. He went to the student union, where he picked up lots of information on employers looking for employees in his region and is now in the process of applying to them. He…

Go you! Strong AND sassy - wonderful combo. Love it. :smile:

It is your body and you can be whatever weight you darn well like. You look fab in your picture and I'm thinking there's a spot of jealousy going on. Bottom line is it is none of their business and very unprofessional of your superiors to bring it up to you in work. You go girl and don't let the ******** get you down!!

<-- nightowl!

Of those choices it has to be *kitten* but number 1 for me is a guys eyes. :love:

Pick your nose?

What you mean is the nutrients are not the same. Which has nothing to do with calories. 250 calories is 250 calories no matter what the food is.

I used to suffer dreadfully with IBS, the constipation would be so bad I would have a lot of pain in my side/lower back for days on end. I tried a lot of medication and natural remedies but none worked. I decided 8 weeks ago to give the 5:2 way of eating a go, I won't lie it was to lose weight but happily I have not had a…

I've now been following 5:2 for 7 weeks. 500 cals twice a week, 1600-1700 all other days. I feel fantastic, my energy levels are better - no falling asleep on the sofa when I get in from work, my IBS is a thing of the past and I find it so easy. In fact yesterday was a fast day and I felt satisfied with no hunger pangs at…

Those stick on things don't work for me, I'm a 36DD. I wear a strapless, low back corset which does the job nicely. Holds everything in and pushes the important parts up. Good luck with your search. :happy:

Go work it hun. x
