Hey Orlcam!! Nice to see you here! Marmite - glad to hear you are on the mend, even if you can't excercise as you wish atm! Had two good runs already this week! Up for more on Thursday and Friday. And the blip up after the Christmas weekend wasn't too bad, when I weighed myself this morning. Yay! I will be out and about…
-
Yes that counts Karen. Hope you have landed safely and feel better!

A bit high on my fast with 750, but the wine glass called me on my last day before my Christmas holidays B)
-
Awesome Karen! Finished my last work day before Christmas. Got some errands done including grocery shopping on the way home. Managed not buying much other than was on my list for Christmas dinner. Yay! Because I'm fasting today. :p
-
Uff...one fast at around 750 and yesterdays was very close to 500. haven't had good fasts in the last few weeks, so that is a win in itself. I'm also back to 62.5kg, 2kg of weekend bloat and water are gone. Tummy feels much better for it! Hoping to have one last before Christmas fast to get me to 62kg. I know, it'll go up…
-
I'm not good at resolutions....just want to stay more or less accountable to myself, stay healthy and happy. Losing the 5kg I've gained back would be nice too. But that's not happening in 2016 :# Will try to buckle down again after Jan 3rd. Fast was a bit high today as an apprentice brought goodies for everyone on our last…
-
Mine too Megellcor! Now off for a horse back ride and then a weekend of Christmas cookie baking with my family.....so probably no exercise and definitely no fasting.
-
Thanks sanjo. Didn't realize it was icy and always bike to the barn. It was very foggy and below 0....should have known....should have walked . No real damage done, lucky me!
-
Scones are made for eating....Luv the flexibility of moving fasts around :D Luv homemade scones too.... :p
-
Haha...yup me too ;-) Alot of it is a question of balance and core control. I got me some of that B) Rebounding is a great tool.
-
Absolutely Flossy. Maintainance is work, every day. Total mind game, without the reward of losses... Photos and the scars of my skin removal remind me of where I was. My scars cry for help, if I let myself go to far and that is a good thing. If I stop logging completely on non fast days....I lie to myself. That is why I'm…

Megellcor- my doctor found 5:2 to be a good thing and borrowed my book :p If 5:2 fits or not is so dependent on the person doing it. No right or wrong... just what works for the individual My answers when i feel like it... Eat every 2-3h....yup cave men definitely did that :D Breakfast is important...yup but it can be at…

Oops....total blow out on my fast today. Shall try again on Thursday. Nice to have you back Flossy!
-
Megellcor - Thanks, that's what we're here for ;-) You are a good three inches taller and my start weight was about 5lb less. All in all the extra 200 cals per day nil out a fast day. That's not a problem, but will lead to slower losses. I am a short foodie, thus that also happens to me :p Atm the third fast is helping.…
-
^^this The goal of 500cals on fast days is not just about weightloss, but also about giving your digestion a bit of a rest and your body time to get into repair mode. 5:2 helped me lose and maintain my weight, but it is about more than 'just' weightloss.
-
Just finishing my second fast... a bit over on both, but I' good... Megellcor - How fast you lose depends on your stats and the cals on your non fast days. Myself as an example: 157cm / 62-63kg / 47y When I started 5:2 in 2013, I was 86kg and lost 1kg/week for about 8 weeks, then 0.5kg/week for the next 8 weeks and so…
-
Megellcor - yup grain and sugars can do that to you. Smart of you to listen to your body and find a good solution for the day. No loss this week either. Keep watching your trend. I have found that I lose better in the weeks before my period and nothing right after. Knowing this helped me accept the ups and down and I look…
-
Great job flossy! And safe travels! My fast has gone a bit bust, but I did a 1/2h session on my rebounder, so I'm booking it as a Friday Fast ;-) TGIF everyone, enjoy!

Try magnesium, mama. That usually helps with regular cramping. Can cause constipation, so play with the dosage as needed.
-
I don't, but i think a broth could help you. Sodium, potassium an magnesium might be getting washed out of your system because of drinking more water during your fast.

Listened to the lyrics today. I mean really listenend. What a powerful song from father to child, probably maybe husband to wife. Just beautiful, powerful, magical words. Love your life everybody ;) Love who you are! "Love My Life" – Robbie Williams Tether your soul to me I will never let go completely. One day your hands…

Went OK for my B2B. But there is bread in the oven.... I brewed beer in the lab today to see if it would be a good project for my students ( I teach chemical lab techs). With the yeast and the filtered malt spelts I made bread, when I got home today. Smells pretty good! Waiting for the 'beer' to start bubbling as a sign…
-
Unless you are very short your weekly cals are much to low. If you do LCD please make sure you have a doctor keeping an eye on your stats. You could do EODD - 500 every other day and maintaince on the other days. But being so low all the time is probably a recipe for failure if not unhealthy. Be careful what you do to your…
-
Hope you feel better soon, CooCoo. Megellcor - When I started with 5:2 I would have had difficulties with B2B fasts. At that time I was quite strict with my fast day cals and also usually 100-200 cals under maintainance on the other days. I lost well that way. Now I kind of go with the flow a little more...my fasts are…

WTG Kate! Go kick a**! :p

Had a good week in many ways.... 2.5 fasts ;-) another 0.4kg of the regained ones lost and I signed the contract on my very first owned apartment.... Now it just has to be built :D Exercise during the week was a bit scarce, but I will get some in this weekend. Have a great weekend!
