No game

Some of the people here (much further out than me) and I have been discussing the 5:2 fasting method. It essentially eating your normal healthy amounts every week but 2 days out of the week tues and Thursday for us we eat 500 calories and make sure there is a fasting time of at least twelve hours before and after... So Monday I don't eat after 7pm Tuesday 2 to three small meals starting at 10 am and eat dinner no later than 7 pm keeping the day at 500 total making wise Protein choices and pushing the water! I'm not recommending it but its working out well so far

Thank you And for the record I'm enjoying my wine!!! Leeann do you remember when we were young and had all the answers??

You are a band to sleeve patient right? I think just from being here and reading so much that revision patients sleeves work somewhat differently sometimes resulting in an easier time at eating and a somewhat slower loss. Is it because of the band or the typical lower BMI of band patients? I don't know... But don't panic or feel bad I'm sure the weight will come off. You may just have to work it a little harder.

Thank you you are one of the nicest must understanding person. I have been wanting to tell you that for awhile

Butter I should take a page from your book! : p Well... I'm eating a piece of the most lovely homemade gourmet apple pie not sweet, tart and yummy! So how do you think I'm doing! Oh and I've had a nice glass of wine and a few bites of fresh artichoke garlic bread!! Oh boy I'm in trouble

Butter thank you for saying it much better than I could this morning

Really? I just read this and my mouth is hanging open... I'm not sure what you are looking for as far as "advice" here but your husband spying on you, In my eyes is the least of your problems, in my book. Putting aside all of the dysfunction in this relationship. I'm just a little... Ok a lot freaked out that you say you caught him MAKING DRUGS and you continue to stay there with your 15 month old child??? I don't give a f**k if he "worships you like a goddess" you need to get your child away from a dangerous potentially deadly situation.

I should! That woman is so wack-a-doodle! (Gotta love her) My husband just gave me the nicest card, where he waxed poetic about his love for me ( his words brought tears to my eyes) We are going to Santa Cruz to shop, eat (sashimi yum real food) and be one with the ocean

And my mom (that crazy b***h) sent me a card with a 50 gift certificate to cheese CAKE FACTORY!! WTF???? I never ate there even when I was fat! I should say fatter, I'm still fat I can't stand that place just out of principle... Anyone want it??? Haha Well the good news is Sunday is Father's Day and now we don't have to buy something for my father in law.... He'll eat anything P.S she really is a crazy b***h, for the life of me I don't know how I got fat 0,0

I like his honesty! I really do, some doctors have a god complex and would never admit to being human. He is at the end of the day, just like us, learning and growing everyday. I'm happy that you are getting it straightened out, Good luck to you

Never mind.....

I understand this I still wake up thinking of food and go to bed thinking of food. The evenings have AND still are the worse! Last night I went to bed with feelings of anticipation for the morning so I can eat. I think of food even when I am full

I'm right there with you! I'm doing it but no one needs to be a hero! Take it slow.

I triple the @ Susan to add some more info please FYE sounds like a beautiful day you have planned for tomorrow Today is my bday so we are going to the coast in the husbands new sports car (and maybe some shopping) I think I really want to eat as a normal person today including some dessert! NannieG!! Omg that's awesome!!! Yes my body seems to be very happy at 171 (months now) but the last few days I'm in the 160's ya! TDEE and 5:2? I was thinking about this yesterday.

I heard spicy things rev up your metabolism!

Is this thing on?? Anyone here? So I did great today, I had moments of hunger and grumpy moods but made it to 500 calories... That is until 10 minutes ago when after fighting with a 17 year girl child about joining the national guard. I blew it and ate 5 Cheetos at 9pm ....
