Olly Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Iwe had a birthday at work, so lots of lovely food including a chocolate mouse cake Sounds intriguing ... not cheesecake, was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The chef tells me it is a 'marquise' or something that sounds like that! Whatever it was, it was lovely and didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I ate a stupid amount over the weekend. My only excuse was it was hot and sunny so we took a picnic, which was full of goodies, down to the beach. Then the family appeared for food in the evening and I cooked sausages, burgers etc. Of course I had to eat them too and the leftover food However today is fast day and the only food I've eaten so far is raspberries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm still hovering just over 10st but I'm OK with it as my newly altered trousers fit perfectly (but would be too big if I lost any more) . I reckon I'm onto the maintenance phase now - 6:1 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I dropped just below 11st today for the first time in a couple of years, it is nice feeling having clothes that fit, my goal is also around 10 st. I have been doing more of the 8 hour diet because it seems to fit into my life more easily. I am tending to eat between about 2pm and 10 pm which suits me, because we are tending to go to the allotment after work so don't eat until gone 9pm. I have largely been eating healthily during my 8 hours, getting in most of my super foods. It is slower progress than 5:2 but I just seem to find it easier.

The Dogmother Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Today's fast went pretty well and I kept below my 500 cal allowance. I will do another one on Thursday to get back on track - we are back to our own devices food-wise at work, so that will be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well done . We'll have lost a whole person between us all soon . I have just edged under 10 stone . Don't imagine I'll stay there but it's a nice feeling . I'm now wondering how to get rid of the jelly belly . Someone on the 5:2 forum mentioned Callanetics - anyone tried it? Not sure I have the willpower to do exercises daily but I'll give it a go if it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 We'll have lost a whole person between us all soon . Perhaps we have done How much have you lost in total I have lost 1/2 stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Two stone in total - I lost nearly 2, then put 1 back on again , but have now lost a bit more than 1. I really hope I can keep it off this time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I wanted to recommend Itsu Seaweed Thins to anyone on the 5:2. They are only 30 calories a pack,have bags of flavour, & really sort me out when I have the savoury munchies! I get them from Waitrose, they are with the sandwiches...they sometimes have a Wasabi flavour too. Gorgeous things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'll stock up for you, LL, for next time we meet up . Supposed to be fasting today (and have up until now) but it's ES's 21st today so we're off for a curry shortly. Birthday cake to follow so methinks tomorrow will have to be the fast day .

chickencam Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I find that a warm drink helps when the hunger pangs strike, fruit tea, or black tea for me usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
