How was your 5:2 day today?

My biggest dilemma is that I have to take medicine in the morning. I don't want to eat until around 11 am because I like to have a late night snack of 100 calorie pack of cocoa dusted almonds. I've been putting off taking my medicine but the one I can't put off is an anti biotic.

I guess I can share this ,lol. I have to take an antibiotic before have sex or I will get a UTI.I have to take it with food.

I guess half of a Greek Yogurt would be 50 calories. I need to look up string cheese and baby bell light.

How about you? Is the 5:2 plan working with your life? I also don't like working out with my trainer on an empty stomach.

Will this not work if you have 11 hours in between instead of 12? There must be some reason you have to have 12 hours off.

    Thanks Cowgirl, it is Niebles actually. I remember hearing about that person that was kicked off and I seem to remember that she wasn't actually a real coordinator, just an obsessive fan who tried to

Fast day today and 505 calories logged on mfp. I found it hard though as I am on holiday from work and I seemed to have a lot of time on my hands. When I am in work I am usually so busy I have to force myself to get time to eat. It is going to be like this for the next 6 weeks so I am going o have to find a better coping mechanism for fast days. I had better look out some cross stitch which I haven't done for a few years.

I agree. On the days I'm off I want to eat and eat ! Working helps keep me in check.

I felt the same way, but Monday was ok and I kept myself busy - working in the garden was a good distraction! On the plus side, being at home helps me get the Water in more than in work - easier access to the toilet!

My fast day is tomo, but I'm actually going to school...lol... complete coincidence mind!

I think that translates to: we are jealous of you - you are a strong and independent woman who knows what she wants and knows what she like; we are intimadated by this and therefore will make judgments based on jack sh*T!

What a bloody cheek! Who are they to even think such things... stealing husbands... if I were you, I would go on a mission to flirt my skinny arse off!!!

Tell her, in no uncertain terms that she can jog on - or Coops will come over and sort them out!

Haha, Coops! That is awesome! Yeah definitely some jealousy there Cheri! I have never been the kind of girl to roll out of bed, throw on some sweatpants and look CUTE. I always worked at it, even when I was at my largest. Makeup, classy jewlery, carried myself well. So I love that you are taking care of yourself and showing your best ...if they are jealous it's on THEM, not you!

Hehehe.. 135 is my goal too! It sounds like a theme!

I can't remember can you do a sleeve from an RNY?

I don't see why they can't go in and remove the stretched out fundus these days........

At my surgeon's office they are looking into redoing the sleeve to tighten up the sleeve.....on the other hand, this doesn't make since to me because other surgeons say that sleeve's under a bougie of 40 and is cut in a straight line can not be stretched.

Just got back from Coos Bay Oregon and my scale said I gained 5 ******* lbs! So tomorrow is my fasting day and getting back on track. :P this is going to be a life long thing. Got to get back down to 145 lbs....... :P

I've always been EXTREMELY jealous of those people who look "careless" elegant and then There's me who has to work to look average! Lol.

Now, in my opinion, Feed would be one of the carelessly elegant types! And Coops is the pixie looking fresh faced girl

And Laura looks like she is a kid at 47!

And M2G has that thin lovely face in her profile which I am ALWAYS envious of since my round face always looks chubs.

Oregon, I can't see your face. :). And the other girlfriends on here who are at 135-140. Well, just know I am ENVIOUS!

You are one awesome cheerleader!

Careless, yes, elegant? Once in a bluemoon, I do like my big jewelry and lipstick though! And I have been trying to make more of an effort the last 2 years... might as well make the best of the best its going to get! I shop at all the best thrift stores! No awesome $4.99 blouse refused!

Ugh I had an have to stuff as much dinner into your face because its almost 7 pm and your fasting tomorrow moment... I'm miserable :(

I'm so full I wish I would just pop and get it over with!

I woke up in a funk today.... Even had a pity party on the main forum today talking about my self loathing moments..

So fast tomorrow. And I will weigh Friday.

I actually did not step on a scale today!

I'm kinda happy about that, because its a obsession. :)

Laura you need a fleet's enema or Miralax or something! Don;t stay backed up. It will get worse.

Mrs,Skinniness you came to my town!

I have a cast now & it's really hard to type now. I didn't stray from plan today so the scale better reward me.

time for Big Brother!

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. My daughter and her husband came from Kansas for a few days and I sure wanted them to stay. It has been a hard few days. Trying to fight the emotional eating demon. I am so glad to see everyone doing ok. I really dont know why but I have been sad,angry and then sad again. Who knows. Glad to be back on track here, this keeps me in line lol.

Welcome back Leeann :) it's funny that you have a daughter old enough to have a husband!!

Are you fasting tomorrow?

Oh and daisy your right I need something to help the plumbing!

Don't tell me what happened on B.B I haven't watched it yet :P

Yes girl I am fasting lol. My twin girls are 22yrs old. My son is 23yrs old lol. My daughter married her highschool sweetheart, they have been married 3yrs. He is in the airforce.

Big Brother! Is that the American or British version... I am addicted to it and have been since the first series years ago!

my fast day today - scales holding at 161 c'mon just 2lbs for the 150s!

For those of you in a funk... roll with it for a little time. I felt exactly the same way a few weeks ago and I gave myself time to lick my wounds and then I bounced back!

Hugs x

Up and at 'em on my Fast Day! Feeling good. Hoping for reward on the scale tomorrow morning!

Leaving for NOLA in the morning. Land of the Beignet. Heaven, help me! :)

Hang in there, Laura! I think it must be going around, I'm having a blue week, too. I noticed your avatar change, too. Don't go getting so frustrated you bail on us! :)

Fast day today. Oh, and since there was a pie contest at hubs' work, I had to get up early on my fast day and bake an apple pie. Bleh. Well, I shouldn't complain. I don't even like apple pie. It's the principle, though. Like I want to play with food hours before I can eat any!

I'm not sure if the gals at the playground are jealous or what. I think it just makes them feel bad that I'm still putting in effort and they've stopped. I know my husband hears at work from the other boys that this is a problem for a lot of them - like they feel their wives just sort of quit trying once they have kids. I don't know. In my case, I wasn't trying when I got married and I'm not trying to do anything for anyone else now. I just want to feel pretty, so piss on the passive aggressive or rude comments!

Hope everyone has a lovely Thursday. I'd say I'm avoiding the main forums today but nah, it's an addiction.

I totally need to change the part of my profile that says registered user. But to what? Sarcastic little mean person? That fits my mood lately...

Laters! I'm off to go tend a fussy baby that just had immunizations yesterday. It's just plain ridiculous how many needles they poke your kid with by the time they're five.
