Hey everyone! Great start to the week for me so far... Yesterday.... And so far today and today is a fast day.... I also found this great tasting tea...

Wow tough week for me too. Rrrrrrr! And end the week on a total snack fest. And now feel disgusting :s This weekend I will write out an action plan and stick to it. Six weeks til the kids holiday, I can do it! Back in focus!! Have a great weekend.

Oh dear... I had a huge calorie weekend and yesterday because the kids were off school and it was my excuse to eat nothing but junk. Was going to fast today but my little seven year old girl woke up with a swollen gland in her neck. Bless her she looked terrible. She is a bit better and home with me today, but of course it…

Happy Friday everyone. Thanks @jknight001 everything is good now. Had a party for one this morning at a posh London restaurant. Fancy breakfast which was a bit of a letdown if I’m honest. I could have done better but the atmosphere was great. Busy chatty people and I feel way in Disney World :D On the train back to…

Wow my kids have been keeping me busy. We just finished half term here in London and boy did I not stick to my diet. The only thing I did do was log everything. For a millisecond I saw 164.4 pounds but that was done quickly and I’m now at 167.7. Fasting today and should be easy because I find that when someone in my life…

I think this is a great idea. Any day would work for me. Here are mine... My chart is really higgledy-piggledy. Got my walk in this morning despite the rain, but I forgot to put my Fitbit on so my steps weren’t counted but at least I know I did it. And another bit of great news...my PhD has finally officially between…

Yesterday was ok. Calories a bit up but my activity was ok But it could have been better. Got my walking in but not my cardio or weight training. I’ll aim for better next week. Have a great weekend.

Hee Hee cats, dogs ... just about anything. It’s like when you prepare that glorious (in my case) end of the day meal with the perfect calories. And one piece of broccoli falls off the plate to the floor and you see it fall in slow motion and you scream “nooooooo” in slow motion. Who knew a piece of broccoli could mean so…

Side note...you know the takeaway coffee cups from Costa and Starbucks etc... do you think they give us comfort because they remind us of the ‘sippy’cups we used to drink out of a kids. I just can’t bring myself to remove the lid. Sorry total random thought.

Glad to be back. We can do this ”again” together. On my morning walk again. Yesterday managed 17000 steps, which is good for me. Four days in a row doing a significant walk is a first. I’m going to try and keep it up during the week. I used to not do anything on my fast days but these walks have been great. Tomorrow I’ll…

Posting from my daily walk. Aren’t smart phones fun :D sun is shining here in London. Did well yesterday just over the 500 fast day. But strictly 500 has always been tough for me. Still managed over 10,000 steps. Also managed not falling on my face posting while walking Hee Hee ;)

Meghan509 I’m also 5 foot 4 inches. Wow. I’m with you 140 seems tough.

Wow. Hey guys. I’m back after a forever break. I can’t remember my last post. Glad to see the weekly post is still going strong. I’m back to 5:2 again and today is a fast day. I was able to keep yesterday low as well due to a flat tire and waiting for hours for it to get fixed. For those that don’t remember or know me... I…

Hi ya! I'm back to try and get into the swing of things again. Spent the summer off everything and now I'm back to religious counting. Managed one successful fast day last week and another reaching the 700's But slowly slowly. Now I'm off to read all the posts I've missed!

Yay!!! I just officially submitted my PhD thesis. It is out of my hands now. Just have to wait for the Viva (examine) and I'll be done!! So happy. Have a great day everyone!

Hi all. Been busy house hunting and thesis completing (should get to submit next week). I've got 5 more pounds to go to get below 150 for my birthday on July 6th. Even went for my first ever run on Friday with the hubby. More like run walk run walk, but I broke my all time steps (16882) and miles (7.56)! I actually haven't…

Hello all my lovelies :) I am back logging and weighing everything as well as using my Fitbit again. I was off everything while the kids were on holiday, so feeling a bit of guilt. Have not dared weigh myself yet. Very scared :s Yesterday I had a very successful fast in he 500's with no subtracted workout calories. Today…

Keep your heads up! Low fasts are still a bonus ;) So kid number two is now sick so I'm running around again. Gave into my monthly cravings over the weekend but feel better now that I've started. Have had two low days but no successful fasts yet. And planning Easter egg buying tomorrow for the kids. Kids officially off…

@boombalatty123 I agree with @flossyruby1. Defiantly get a repeat. I used to get my blood pressure taken regularly and it was always perfect...until one day it was hugely different, but then my DR noticed I had my feet on my tippy toes and not flat on the ground. She repeated it straight away and it was normal again.…

Ohhh the power of tea. I feel so much better!

I have to be a very strict calorie counter on non-fast days...like today. I feel so hungry today, worse than yesterday. It's lunch time and I managed to grab half an apple and made a tea to stop myself diving into the poppycock again :# Eating my breakfast in the morning just wakes up my belly and it thinks it has to keep…

Yesterdays fast was a success. Even budgeted for two cookies but then my little boy got sick so I didn't feel like eating anything else and I got some extra exercise scrubbing the floor :o

Weight today, 164.2lb ... Back to my lowest number, whoo hoo!!

Mine stopped syncing too. Do you think it is MFP fault or fitbit?

You're a mind reader @flossyruby1 HeeHee ;) Breathing in, Breathing out.

Thanks @flossyruby1, you're so right because their mood shouldn't bother me or change my mood. I know it will all be over in a day or two but I know a big blow up is coming. Despite the 'I'm fine' 'nothing's wrong' its building up, I can feel it. Keeping it together...deep breaths.

Weighed in this morning and saw 166 again. V. pleased! Finally feel a bit of control back. Emotions a running high because I am receiving the silent treatment at the moment from a certain someone. Never pleasant! Luckily it is having the opposite effect on me and I am running away from food not towards it.

Ok so here is mine so far...

Eat, Pray, Love...I know this movie didn't get great reviews but I saw it over the weekend and I got some great things from it... “But I love him.”... “So love him.” “But I miss him.” ...“So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it”. I can apply this to anyone. Guilt is a big part…

My fall to is tea...I start with a large strong cup with little sugar, little milk (28cals) then I keep adding hot water to it, by lunch time I'm basically drinking hot water, but this helps keep my taste buds satisfied. Hartleys Sugar Free jelly is also good, 8 calories for a pot. And finally Werthers Original Sugar Free…
