Feel free to add me, I am just back dieting again after a couple of weeks off and I am having to be very stern with my diet, so I know how it feels to need the proper encouragement, not allowed to make excuses!

Thanks DollysKitchen for that, I will check it out!

I tried the turkey burgers finally, I don't think I will EVER have beef burgers again haha, the turkey burgers were soooo tasty, I added one thing though and that was jalapenos as I seem to have a spicy tooth at the moment!

Good luck to everyone starting, stick with it, you won't regret it! Just beware the second week, it's the hardest but it's all downhill after that :)

Not at all! The 5:2 diet means that for two non-consecutive days of the week I eat only 500 calories and the rest of the time I can (within reason) eat what I like, however I am trying to stick to just 1400 on my non-fast days.

I've been doing it since January and I love it, ignore all the know-it-alls on here (they are actually ignorant know-sweet-*kitten*-alls haha), like some have said, you can research it for yourself and make your mind up, I have found I actually look forward to my fast days now! My piece of advice which I tell EVERYONE…

I have had alcohol poisoning many a time, so surely it must be poison haha

:D

There are loads of topics on this on here, I suggest looking through them by searching, the general consensus is that they are a huge waste of money I'm afraid!

I used to spend my weekends eating nothing at all during the days, and sometimes the nights, only ever eating a kebab or something and drinking copious amounts, not good!!

I am ashamed to say I don't know what most of those are! *hangs head in shame* haha

Boredom, when I'm bored, if it's a slow day at work or I'm chilling at home on the weekend, I want to eat because I'm doing nothing else!

I got so depressed and also anxious on my hangovers that it started becoming a permanent thing, this was my main reason for giving up and I feel much stronger now, I just hope that one day I can be one of those people who can just have a couple and not feel it the next day! I think 9 years of heavy drinking (I started too…

Oooh, a nice Mojito would be lush!

Definitely the first!

That's a really good idea actually, I plan in advance for my fast days and also most main meals for the week, so why not plan my 'hangover day' and buy in some tasty treats that are also healthy and make sure there is nothing else in the house to tempt me!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Bad food choices is an excellent description of what I get. Luckily I'm much happier without booze in my life, but it would just be nice to think I could have a couple in the future and not have such a negative reaction afterwards.

Was this because you didn't trust yourself to not drink too much or because you lost control with other things too? ie dieting or working out.

Feel free to add me if you like, I'm on the 5:2 diet so I need supporting to sometimes!!

Amazing!! You learn something new everyday!

GORGEOUS legs!!

Thanks very much :) also a lovely smile

I'm amazed by how friendly everyone is on here, anyone feel free to add me, I appreciate the support I've been getting from you fabulous lot and would love some more friends!

I've only been on a few days and am also looking for people to support and be supported by! Feel free to add me and good luck with your weight loss! x

I'm in Sheffield so I will google some others, thanks :)

I may look into Bellfields and see if they can offer better than what I am currently getting, it does sound a lot easier to change, though I must say there are a couple of fruit and veg I can't stand and I just add them toy dislike list and they replace them with something else should they crop up in a box.

I wish I had fruit and veg markets near me! I would love to buy my thing from there but due to not having a car getting to one, or even a larger supermarket for a bigger variety can be a bit challenging!

Also you could order a box fortnightly instead if it lasted you two weeks :)

Yes I did find that as well as I had to cancel over Christmas due to going home and had to cancel the lot and then add it again. However it is fairly simple to do and I like that I don't have to think about it now. I must say also that the oranges I have from there really are the tastiest I've ever had. Also I get all…
