LolaLayla Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Laughing about the Malteasers ANH. DD and I went to the cinema with a large box of Malteasers on Saturday night. Not many of them returned I am still on the downwards slope weightwise so it goes to show you can go over the top occasionally I am not sure whether to fast tomorrow or Thursday. Oooh decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, thanks, DM . Still have the odd little cough here and there but at least I'm sleeping through again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I haven't fasted this week but my weight is still going down I have been eating sensibly and keeping active on the allotment etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Weighted in on the 'dodgy' scales again. It looks like I only have 2lbs to go until I get to the weight I want to be I have lost more that 6lbs. I am a bit unsure as to exactly how much due to the aforementioned 'dodgy' scales and the fact I didn't really want to look at the ever increasing number on the dial I lost over 2 stones a few years ago and I was really worried it was creeping on again. On the days off I have eaten cakes, cream scones, nuts and had wine. Basically nothing has been off limits and that is why I love this diet. I have decided that today is day 2 this week. Just had a cup of coffee. I will either have a small egg or ham salad at lunchtime as I am working this afternoon and need to concentrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hungry day here too ... I know I've lost weight as I can get into some clothes that weren't an option a few weeks back not going to weigh myself (yet), don't think I'm ready for the "awful truth"! I've discovered a herbal tea that I actually quite like - it sounds disgusting - liquorice and cinnamon - but it's actually quite nice (a friend gave me a couple to try, so I might invest in a whole pack!!!) Have a good day all you fasters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I had a slightly non-fasting fasting day yesterday I started very well, but it was very cold in my office (what's new then ) so I was starving at lunchtime when the housekeeper at work appeared with a lovely pasta bake and salad. I had a tiny bit of pasta bake because it was warm, along with the hard boiled eggs I'd taken in for lunch. Supper was half a portion of sushi from the condemned shelf at Te$co. I think I may have only been slightly over the 500cal limit. I find it hard to fast when it's cold, but am being good the other days too. My bra strap is definitely looser, as are my work trousers (black jeans) a certain amount of back fat has gone and my tum is less wobbly. I inadvertently wore a pair of Rosie's running leggings to circuits on Monday night - thought they felt odd, but I was in a rush... a bit chuffed that I can fit into a 15 year old's running pants!

The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Oh, and while I'm 'on a one'... why is it that when we put on weight it goes on round the tummy, bum and thighs but when we lose it, it goes from our face and boobs? Very unfair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaLayla Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So true Had a change of plan at lunchtime and ended up eating a grapefruit and a bit of ham. Going to have omelette for dinner with some more of the ham and veg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just about to eat - home made cottage pie and extra veg - yum! Although I could quite easily go without food at all today that's def not like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've found that unless I have something to eat in the morning of a fast day, then I feel really cold all day. I usually have a teeny bit of porridge and that lasts me through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Another weigh in and I've lost 1 and a half stone in total (in nearly 6 weeks) Some of that is from the 'time of the month' as I can fluctuate by up to 4lb but I'm so pleased! Still a way to go but so long as it's in the right direction I don't care how long it takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Cor, that's amazing, well done. Don't weigh myself but reckon that I've lost around 3lbs in the 2 weeks I've been doing it; I wasn't overweight per se before I started, just heavier than I like, and wanted to cut out the splodge and wobbly bits and it has worked. Bacon buttie day at work today if the bloke who gets them is in... that'll sort me for the rest of the day. We had some really lovely kedgeree and salad yesterday fro lunch but I was very restrained... I find that using a smaller plate helps a lot.

Cinnamon Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It was my second Fast day yesterday & it went really well - looking forward to weighing on Monday! I say went well, except somebody ate the food I had put by for my evening meal, so I had to improvise a bit. I made a ratatouille & baked an egg on top of it,under the grill. Minimal oil to cook, & it was delicious Well done Chickvik - that is an amazing loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) I lost 4 pounds all together - pretty pleased We have just booked a September jaunt to Zakynthos, so that gives me something to aim towards (I am determined not to have to use a seat belt extender on the plane this time!)

LolaLayla Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well done everyone I had a look at the recipe book at a show I attended yesterday but decided to just stick to very plain food on the fast days. I think the least you think about food those days the better A lady at the book stall was also on the diet and had lost 16lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Ate too much of the wrong stuff over the weekend but it's fast day today so I can fix things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Fast day for me today too, so I will be looking for something to do,to keep my brain occupied. I am going to cook Ratatouille for myself again tonight, as it was so scrummy last time & will give me something to look forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have been shopping and bought some salmon for OH and I to have tonight. I will just have some green veg. He may get a baked potato if he is lucky I have kept busy swapping the winter clothes in the wardrobe over for the summer ones....even though it is still raining here and not summery at all today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 One of the great things about this diet is eating loads of veg. I wasn't feeling very motivated last week, so I may give the 8 hour diet a try this week as an alternative, I think that I will cope with that better on work days.

LolaLayla Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Fast day again! Had to get up early as lots of workmen due so had porridge to keep me going. I have a few strawberries and blueberries planned for lunch.....I think dinner will be something with eggs or ham. I have lost another pound so only one more to go until I reach my target I have finally decided to put out the size 16 clothes I was wearing 4 years ago. I am a 12 now and hope never to go back to that size. This diet certainly has given me more confidence that I can control my weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Fast day today for me too . I've managed on just peppermint tea since tea last night (apart from 1/3 of a bit of tablet ). Unlike yesterday when I grazed constantly when I got home from work, I don't feel the need to snack at all today - can't explain why .
