    BrownDoesAll got a reaction from laurenella82 in The 5:2 Diet   
    I have been doing it the big benefit for me is. The increased feeling of restriction I get the day after fast day. U don't actually fast u simply cut your normal calories down. Theory there cutting you calories twice a week and your overall calories are down and u should lose weight. I also like the fast days because those are the days I work on my self control I drcree those no snacking days I hve learned to control the night time snack monster by doing 5:2. Gotta also remember to stay on track the days your. Not "fasting". Reading the book or going to the 5:2 site will tell u about the science of it

    Globe I agree with OD talk it out. Men are dense and often don't realize what vibes they put in the world. He may have some heavy "man crap" going on he hasn't shared with u yet.
    Tell him what's up and what u want. Be prepared for some comprimse cause no man is perfect. But don't settle for anyone that doesn't make u feel loved
    Cgj I think your lucky to keep finding good potentials. Good for u for staying in the game. Some women might have given up and raised 50 cats. Good luck with this one
    OD follow your gut. Explore
    I am still fasting 2 to 3 days a week. Just can't get my big but to work out!! Still bouncing around the same stupid 5 pounds.once I want it bad enough I will find the time to work out and move beyond the spot I am in now

    Hi ladies. Oh. Coops, Georgia and Cathy (and anyone else in this boat). I am there with u. Still struggling to keep the scale moving down. I know what I should it. I know I need more exercise. I know I need to leave the carbs alone! Picture me hitting my self in the head. Why oh why do I not have the will power to do it. It was so easy during the initial stage and even year two. This is the first time I have gained and gone 2lbs over my weight
    Personally I am in the mod I was prior to the surgery. Trying to diet and nothing works so I eat what ever. Then try to diet again. I know we should be out of the diet mode and eating should be a life style. I agree with that. If I can just get the brain to stay in that mode I could be sucessful. Apparently lifestyle eating for me is good for maintnance but not good for losing
    Has anyone tried an over the counter appetite surpressant that's helped?
    My nemisis is carbs!! Good news only 2lbs over (I still weigh daily). Good news I will not give up! Good news I know I am not alone and have support! Good news I know I can do it!

    Hi Ladies. Finally the play is over and was a huge hit! My cast bought my vision to life. I felt like a proud mamma. Laughs in the right places and the songs just came off so well. I wish I had pics. I really tried to get some but the day got away from me and I didn't have a chance once it started. I was in the tech booth manning the music board and making sure the lighting guy didn't miss his cues. Everyone said they really enjoyed it. I am so glad its over.
    On a down note my mom has lost the ability to walk. I was picking her up Sunday for church as I do every Sunday and she littterly fell in my arms while getting her in the car. I am taking it worst then she is. I know in my mind this isn't true but I can not express how horribly guilty I feel for putting her in their. I feel like if she was still at home she would have been forced to continue to use her walker and not spend so much time in the wheel chair. I honestly thought they would give her more physical therpy but they haven't done much and now she can't walk. Legs and hips are muscles u don't use them u will lose them. I kept trying to make her use her walker more but... We are were we are. Now I must fight to get her rehab to walk again. My next focus is to get her out of there. The place is not bad no one is really to blame. But I will never forgive myself if she dies in there.
    Kim I have u and your mom in my prayers
    Everyone have a fun 4th and stay safe!!

    Hi kim.Happy Birthday. Good to hear you enjoyed yourself. My cholesterol is high. I am a protien meat eater. Not as much vwggies as I should. Can u give me more details about sterols please
    M2. Congrats on 22 years. Love the before and after pic. You both lOok marvelous.
    The play "finding my Boaz" is going really well. Hard to get all the cast to rehearsals all at the same time. Everyone has so many family commitments hard to juggle all the schedules. But I have been making it work. We have final 2 full dress rehearsals june 21st and 28th then performance on the 29th. It's been fun. Very different experience for me. The manager in me is enjoying pulling it all together. Lights , sound, music, scenery, props event night coordination with ushers, stage hands, cast. I am pretty pumped and will be so glad when it's over!
    OD I was thinking about u as I put my earplus in to tune out the sounds of hubby's Cpap. Its getting a bit loud and time for a tune up. How's Bill's Cpap working out?
    Sar count down to plastics. Wish I was ready for at least the arms. With summer wearing sleeves is a pain. I was doing something the other day and startled myself when I actually felt them flapping. When I lose another 50lbs I will get the arms done. But now I have too much weight to lose to consider plastics. I will keep lifting the weights
    Chow for now!

    Hi Grace. You are not alone. I didn't lose as much as I wanted during the honeymoon phase. Good news I haven't gained any back! YEAH US!!
    After two years maintaining it is harder to get the scale moving again. My sugestion make a small change each week. Like this week count the carbs. Next week committ to exercise plan. I too have found sucess with the 5:2 fasting plan. Google it then read the tips pinned on this forum
    And don't be discouraged. Weight loss appears to come slower then after surgery but its time to use the tool. Small portions, controlled eating, exercise , focus and patience will get u where u want to go. We got this!

    Hi ladies. Ended the week with two good fasting days and three controlled non fasting days. Feeling good. Down .5lbs. Slow and steady wins the race. How u doing Coops?
    M2G good for you on the dieting for the teens. Had I been more aware of healthy eating as a teen and had a better body image I may not have been obese. Good job mom!
    CGJ nice to see you enjoying life and met someone new. I put a profile on OKcupid for my daughter. Seeing the success you and OD and I think Globe met Jack in cyber space gives me hope for my daughter. Even at 28 if u don't meet a nice guy at work then its really hard for a quiet shy young lady to meet someone.
    The play is planned for June 29th. Its getting close. Now into rehearsals set designs lighting music advertising etc. Very exciting and lots of work. But I am enjoying it
    Cyber hugs to everyone

    After 2 years I can eat more than before but still less than everyone around me. I can tell when I have over done it. I stay in range because of the food choices.
