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.
Healthy eating trumps small tummy

Hi ladies. Quick note I received the Fast Beach diet book. Nothing at all new. If u read the first book you've read this one. Only push is 4:3, HI exercise , and more control during non fast days.
I will be done by tonight. If u want me to send the book to u let me know. We can pass it around. There are some tips. But to me nothing we don't already know
I Am with u Coops. Fasting today! Focused for the next 6 weeks

Here we are, Florinda and Jack ... <3

Globe. How wonderful. Sending cyber high five and a big smile

I want to reply to so many of you but don't have the time right this moment. I've been so busy lately. I'll get back on later today or tomorrow and reply to everyone. I just wanted you to know I'm thinking about all of you.
I surprised the family with season passes to Six Flags so we are headed there for the day!
Enjoy your Saturday!

Hi Ladies. I am sure u have heard but the authors of 5:2 have put out a new book, the Fast Beach diet. Its a 6 week fasting Boot Camp. I suspect its the south beach diet on your noon fastin days. The book is 4.95 on Amazon.as much as I hate the term diet it is what we do. I'm gonna buy the book and let u know
To All the mother's enjoy your weekend! I hope you all get pampered and appreciated this weekend. Mother's day is one of the greeting card days I like.

Coops rant on. I totally agree. The only thing my body seems to respond to is total starvation. But that loss doesn't last. Urgh!! I THINK it may be the length of "being good. And. Eating right". I can eat right and exercise faithfully with zero "cheating" for three weeks then I don't. See results and fall of the wagon. THINK I have to stay faithful for a longer period of time for this old stuborn body to respond. URGH!! Rant on Coops this is freaking hard! I was actually considering full liquids just to see if that made a difference!
 
CGJane I can agree people of different backgrounds and different cultures are different. God didn't make us all the same for a reason. But one thing that is the same and spans race creed or culture is there. Are good wonderful men in all shapes sizes religions and colors. There are also Jerky non dateable men in all sizes and colors. Its easy for me to say I have a good man for over 30 years, but relax open your mind and your heart; love yourself and the right man will be there.
 
Peace!

Hi ladies. So nice u got a chance to meet. I have not caught up on all the previous post. Really busy. My company has been downsizing for the past few years. I have been missed so far but the axe is getting closer. Well if one door closes another will open.my mom is settling in to the nursing home. I feel better about it because they can take better care of her than I can. I have started rehearsals for my play. That will be fun. Trying to get my daughter to do 5:2 with me. We have a pac to leave the sweets during the week and enjoy a treat on the weekend. I have stopped at a low weight for me. Its all good. Stay stong ladies

Lovely afternoon with a lovely lady. Thank you Coops.

Hi ladies. still here. Bit rough resolving feeling about moving my mom to a nursing home. It is for the best but still sad. It is like we are both lookig at her last days. Really busy casting play and getting that project off the ground
Still bouncing 5 pounds. Sorta mad I can't get on a steady down size. 330 was not healthy and now I look back clearly caring too. Much weight. I didn't lose enough after surgery so my 250 though leSs is pissing me off now
Anyway. I am ok. God is good and I am blessed! U ladies stay strong through in sensitve hubbies, learning to live alone, in law drama, selling homes, moving, pregnant exes, finishing school, life changes returning to the states,battling sickness and all. It's life! Stay strong

thank you so much for sharing this. Excellent article and lots of hints I needed to hear.

Yeah Globe on your new low! Way to stick with it and get results. TL sounds like a lot of responsibility. The warrior in you will prevail. You'll do a great job. Have u heard anything from the skype interview?

Hi laddies I am still here. Reall busy. Working wwith my mom to move her to a nursing home. Its sort of sad she wants to be independant but can not dress herself. She is falling more often and calling me to. Drive across town to get her something to eat. I had to convince her it was time she could no longer live alone and my house is not condusive to her living with me. Now the work of getting her moved.
Plus I have written a play about relationships based on the book of Ruth. The play is called Finding My Boaz. That will keep me busy until the end of June.
I know your all in the throws of life buying and selling home (good luck). Dating not dating and almost dating. Vacations from work and finding new places to work (prayers going up for you Globe hope the interview goes well). Caring for sick pups and dealing with drama from ill FIL (prayes of peace for you and family Sar). All those going through sickness and getting better. Ahh we are all in the middle of it all. Love u ladies and your strength for moving through it. And still watching our weight!
Is it possible to creat a second group and add those asking to join to that group? I had thought about starting a vet group for those still over 200lbs. I am still doing 5:2 still losing very slowly. I would like to be a part of both groups. Of course this one and 5:2 part two. No need to explain about not letting them in this group. Simply create Sucess in 5:2 Part Deux. Or 5:2 the journey continues.
Thoughts?

This is an oldie but a goodie. I still smile when flying and not have to ask for a seat belt extender

Globe I pray for peace and calm for your heart and mind in the midst of this storm. Your mom sounds like she doing well and that's a good thing. Go shout, scream, and cry. That's a release of pent up emotions. Fill the empty with thoughts and plans of your future. What's next for you? You have a plan and your working the plan. We all lose it and binge eat from time to time. The good news, we get a new day to start over. A new day to take a deep breath,and get focus.
There's a song I sing when. I am in a storm here are some of the words. Its gonna be nice. Its gonna be nice what ever's in store for me Its gonna be nice. Its crazy right now Lord, but that's when you shine. I can't stop shouting its gonna be nice. No more crying about my situation. I know what I gotta do. I gotta pray, gotta trust, gotta believe and depend on you and know that its gonna be nice.
Of course I didn't write that. But when I sing it, it brings be peace. I wish I could Sing it to you. Peace

The 600 calories a day. I am with Globe on that. Sorry if this is a stupid question. But why was it okay to eat that low for the year during WLS? Doc said it wouldn't ruin our metabolism but I don't remember why? I am slowly moving in that direction much smaller portions during meals and only eating meals because I have to eat something. Cutting out sugar and really low on the carbs
Why is 600 calories a day a problem now?

Hi Globe. I agree with Cathy. U made decision to stay and make money so u could get back "in the game" more secure. Do u think you are staying in this job because you don't want to be "in the real world"? How long have u been doing this job?
Maybe your missing that special male relationship? Or like Cathy said your missing family and friends. If I had to live where I worked I would go nuts!! Personally I bet its not much deeper than maybe u sense its time to move on. Look ahead to where u wanna be. See the vision u have for your next step and know right now is preperation for that.
What do u mean u watch as good life happens to other people? Your feelings are valid cause they are yours. Explore your thoughts. But remember the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
