Not going anywhere, OD! Desperately need the support.

Total to date. 38.1. One week today.

Okay, I pulled off a fast day today at 574 cals. A little over my usual 500 but with 4 miles. Ill "net" 272. Ill take it! And my week is messed up so need to rearrange normal fast days.

You are amazing ! You will reach 100 this week!!

I would like to think I would have the stamina for spin but I know that is not true! Even taking Vitamins and eating cleanly and at a good weight, along with walking, I just don't have the strength I used to have. I truly think I wore myself out with all I pushed myself physically and mentally for many years plus loads of years filled with extremely stressful periods with my son and addictions. Now, thankfully, clean and whole. Plus, trying to get my daughter through nursing school now at age 36 while she works full time and a single mother if two girls who receives NO child support. I be's tired! Ha!

Bahahahahaa! That was funny, Laura! Now see, I'm a fan of 3 but gah, I'm with you, Cheri. What in the world???

Yeah, I'm seeming to be really BORED with my regular foods I've been eating and thinking my pea brain has tried to kick in since reaching150 with "head hunger" cause I am certainly experiencing a lot of it for the last few days. Calorie count within range on feast days. Usually about 1100-1200 and I have increased my walking to between4-5 miles a day but some higher calorie count items involved.

That is awesome!!!!

I was wondering where you were! Glad to see you're alive and well!

Don't think that is a good idea, Chimera. Even though we all (5:2ers) have reduced calorie on feed days (1200-1500) none of us is going below 500 calories on fast days. It works and I think you will likely be better off for the long haul. Just a thought. Also, most days I don't go over 1000-1100 calories EVER.

My normal fast days are Tues/Thurs so I'll be there with you guys on Thurs. And I know, FeedYourEye does Mondays as well. Seriously, it has been life changing for me! And other vets who were having trouble kickstarting loss again or as with me, figuring out how to lose the regain and manage maintenance! Gooooooo!!!! You guys rock!

Yes, I use the "squirt" stuff. FF 15 cals for 2 tbsp. w my SF Jello.

These are in the new Women's Day. By a cancer survivor. Look awesome. Only 159 each. Whole wheat flour, bran. No butter. I will be trying these!!

You look so professional!!!! Way to go!

UK, that's awesome! You will def get that 12 lbs off! As to Fri and Mon bounce, I think that is the true nature of 5:2. We, as VSGers, were used to the honeymoon stage where we always saw the scale go down initially, I think. This is real life! LOL. What I found is I would hit a new low, bounce around for a few days or a week the. "Hold" that low until another one. I'm fine with that since I know this way if life works for me Have a great week!

Upped my total to 33.5n. Yay! I persevered. LOL. If I can keep this up, I might have this!
