ran for the first time *in a while* not, ever. LOL

Afternoon everyone! FD#2 today.. I've had one cup of coffee at around 3pm. Getting nervous about weigh in. Haven't lost in weeks. Starting to think the weight I lost was just from starting Thyroid meds, and not so much the 5:2 at this point. Now that I've been on the meds for awhile, I haven't lost anything. Makes me a bit…

Banner looks great Flumi! How beautiful!! FD#1 was good yesterday. All healthy foods, got two walks in yesterday for a total of 50 minutes. Today is a feast day and I've got all whole foods with me today. NO MORE GRAINS! I really hope to see a loss this week.

Flumi- You will get through this! You are strong!!! FD#1 for me. MUCH needed. Went to DC this weekend on Saturday and hads lots of coffee and bad food. I really need to get back on track so I premade more meals last night, and I'm getting back on track this week. I have 21 lbs to lose to my goal weight before September,…

Thanks so much for the kind words yesterday! I did end up fasting but I think I had around 600 calories. I am exactly the same as last week, so I didn't gain, but I am still maintaining a gain of about 2 lbs. My lowest was 165.2 and I'm back up to 167.2. I didn't have any grains yesterday, and I don't have any today In my…

Thank you @victoria_smith ! I'm just struggling because this is the first time since December, I've gained! It's silly, but it's upsetting! Even when I didn't lose, I always stayed exactly the same. I'll be okay, I think. I just need to get off the grain train, fast!!!

I'm feeling down... I've gained 3 lbs in the past two weeks. Not sure it could actually be fat, but it's discouraging none the less to see it on the scale. I have Hashimoto's and I have been eating a lot of grains since we moved. I think it's just puffing me up, but it's proving really hard to stop eating the junk. I was…

Hey! I'm 5' 3.5"

Carbmonster - I am working towards my vacation (in September), and my Daughter's first birthday which is June! I wanted to be 157 by her birthday because that was how much I weighed when I got pregnant. I'm still 10 lbs above that, and I don't think i'll make it seeing as it took me over 3 months to lose 11 lbs, but we'll…

Finished my fast last night a little over, but it's better than last week's fasts. Going to attempt two more tomorrow and Thursday.. scale is still trending UP since last week, but with Easter, I kind of expected that. I need to get back to making my healthy foods ahead of time. This processed junk is making me feel awful!

Good Morning everyone! I hope everyone had a great Easter!! I ate WAYYYYYYYY too much, and I feel terrible! I am STILL sick (ugh!!) and I practically skipped my fasts last week, so this week I'm going to attempt 3. I think it's going to be really hard, but I need it. I am fasting today, and then Wednesday and Thursday.…

FD#2 and I'm already having my coffee.. I normally don't have ANY calories until dinner time but I'm still battling a pretty horrible cold/chest thing, I just have a much harder time when I'm sick. Highly doubt i'll be losing anything tomorrow, but it's okay.

WOW!!! Now that puts it in perspective!

I'm only losing about 0.5 lbs a week.. I only had one big week where I lost 2.5 lbs, but that's it. However, I haven't been exercising. Once I pick back up with that, I'm hoping to see more of a loss per week.

Good Morning! Monday was supposed to be a fast day but I am sick. By the time I got home and started eating, I couldn't stop. I think I ate around 800 calories. Blah! Not going to do 2 more days, so it's just going to have to count. I had to take off work yesterday, and I'm back today. Will try again tomorrow, and see how…

Good Morning everyone! FD #1 for me today. We moved this weekend, and I ate SO MUCH BAD FOOD. We did do a LOT of walking, and stairs, but not sure if it was enough to ward off gaining some water weight. Not even weighing myself until the end of the week. I hate seeing giant jumps in my weight. I am also really sick on top…

Thanks everyone!!! :)

Good morning everyone! I fasted yesterday and jumped on the scale just to see where I was at because I ate so much crappy food this weekend. Much to my surprise, I was down to 165.8!!! Lowest I've been since I was about 18 weeks pregnant! This was also the first "mini" goal I set for myself, so I'm super proud to reach…

Started the week of December 30th (2014) and I've lost 10.2 lbs Slow, but steady. I am doing 5:2

Good morning everyone! yesterday was supposed to be a fast day, but my daughter is a sick girl, and I had to stay home with her. It didn't happen, so it's today. I ate so much crap this weekend and I'm feeling it. I feel awful today. Trying to keep my eyes open at work and hoping that I don't have whatever my daughter has.…

Welcome @ACSL3 !!! This is a great group! Well, didn't lose or gain. I'm exactly the same as I was last Friday. It is TOM, so I guess I should be grateful.

I had to stop drinking coffee on my fast days. It makes me feel terrible. maybe it's related!

Wow Karen!!! That's just awful. I could never say something like that to someone! I agree with everyone else. She's just jealous of you. Kill her with kindness. Don't ever be rude to her because she will turn it around on you. She knows deep down she's being a "c" word. Don't let her get to you.

I try to, but not always.

FD #2 here. I am already hungry, so I'm battling that. It doesn't help that everyone in the office are eating bagels from NY! Smells so good!

Morning! another feast day today, and then fast day tomorrow. I am so tired. I have an almost 9 month old who I believe is teething and didn't want to sleep last night. I am EXHUASTED :(

Morning! Feast day.. trying not to go overboard. I really wish I could get another loss over a lb, but it seems to be slowing down. I know any loss is good, just wishful thinking I suppose! =]

I can't do 16:8 after my fast day. I'm just too hungry. I might be able to do it on days before my fast day, but not the day after because by morning, I've already been fasting for 36 hours. I don't want to add 4 more hours on it to wait until noon to eat!

Good Morning! pretty good weekend here. Did a lot packing since we are moving next weekend. I also cooked a WHOLE bunch of food for the week. I practically cooked all day yesterday. Today is my first fast day, and I'm looking forward to it. I love these days to get all caught up on water intake, although, I did do pretty…

I did it!!! 10.2 lbs lost since the new year!! I am very happy! I only lost 0.6 or 0.8 (can't remember) but It put me over 10 lbs! I am SO happy! 1/3 of the way there! I haven't had any big losses (more than a lb) in a few weeks, but that's okay. A couple nights this week I only had about 1100 calories. It wasn't…
