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.

600? That's because you get all the yummy vegetarian food! I had chicken and shredded veggies.... You know there is only so much of that that you can eat at a sitting

So I ended up at barely 400. I should of had some dressing

My bf wanted to take me out to dinner tonight. Most of the time he doesn't like to eat out because I hardly eat.

I was proud of myself for refusing to go. I made him go by himself.

Go, Girl! Just finished 3rd fast day this week. A little above 500, somewhere in the 525 range. Been reading the forums on the Fast Diet Websites. Some interesting stuff there.

Looks like everyone in here doing well!

Georgia, can you share some links?

Ended yesterday at 541...not feeling any hunger today...yay!

...down to within .3 of a pound from my 5:2 low. So happy this is working... getting those vacation pounds off had not been too bad, and I had fantastic vacation food. Having this confidence that I might just get to goal, then keep it off is such a high! (6 pounds to post WLS low, 12 pounds to original goal)

Wow that's great FYE!

I don't think I will have any weight loss this week. But that's ok.

We are going to the beach today.

I have to admit going to the beach for us means MANY treats and wine. So it should be interesting...

Are there still people doing 5:2 other places on the board.? We should give them support. I've hardly been reading or posting in the rest of the board because it's too hard with the cast.

after I get it off, I'll be able to catch up more on what's going on around here.

There are a couple of 5:2 threads in the vets forum.

Also the "why its so hard to maintain"(or something like that) has some talk about it too.

Yes, I've talked to several about 5:2. ( u know me! ) and encouraged them to google for info or check out the threads and people for help.

Both forums that FYE has mentioned before also. The first is one started by a enthusiast and the second is the main one by the original creator guy. Both excellent reading and info on many, many, MANY people doing this lifestyle.

Hey everyone hope you're all doing okay.

I did okay yesterday but I did not eat well today. I don't often go off the rails but just chose to have an IDGAF day. In truth, I might not have had one if I hadn't gained AGAIN after my fast day yesterday. Bleh. That's two fast days in a row that I followed up with a gain instead of a loss. Bummer. Logged in at the end of the day with 1,700 calories. Bleh. I suppose that in all honesty, it's not really an off the rails day if you go by calories. But if you go by what I ate today? Yikes.

In any case, back on track tomorrow. It's always harder to be diligent when I don't feel like it's doing anything. I don't usually use that as a reason to do whatever I want, of course. Who knows, maybe I'll see one of those "why doesn't this make any sense?!" losses in the morning. One can hope!

Alright, off to bed. I'm hoping for some decent sleep! Hubs takes the early morning feeding on the weekends, which is awesome. I do have a stomachache, though, courtesy of all that crappy food today. I feel like I spent the day at an amusement park or the fair. Yuck. Tomorrow I might fast just because I feel so gross tonight!

Just read this, pretty cute account of a British comedian that tried 5:2.

You and I must have a secret long lost twin thing going on where we feel the same pain at the same time! You just described me today. A sun and eating fest... Looking for that just right thing that would fill the hole. Feeling yucky full and still not satisfied!! My bloat and I will be going to bed soon.

Tomorrow we get it straight girl!

Honestly, Im kind of glad when I feel a little or a lot crapy from eating something I used to gobble down all the time. My body is finally asking for some good food now and then, in stead of becoming a zombie for cra(p or ck)cakes and other kinds of food drugs. Not that I say no all the time, but I do say it more often. I just did a possible crazy vegetarian move today... I have been researching ancient grains, and cleaned my refrigerator, then headed to whole foods (or whole paycheck as we call it here...) and bought some Kamut (found in an Egyptian tomb?) in abut 3 forms (flour, rolled and cracked). Spelt (preferred by Europeans in the middle ages) in two forms(flour and crackers), and Einkorn ...( the same grain that was found in the icemans stomach)! NO GMOs. Older undeveloped types of wheat. Some used as early as 9000 years ago. I use white whole wheat at this time, not a lot, but modern wheats can experience drifting contamination from fields of GMO if they are not already Genetically modified. So I am switching over to older grains to see what happens. I made some (1/4 cup of cracked Kamut in 3/4 cup water in my rice steamer, with some veggies from my garden, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms salt and pepper, and some "chi'kin" veggie stock powder. It took about 15 minutes to cook up, and it was lovely, resotto like... a little grated parm, and a dribble of olive oil...next time I think I will ad an egg...)It was lovely. Im not feeling any kind of carb spike...yet...)

Wow that sounds good! I wished I lived closer to you I'd be stopping by on a regular basis

My day at the beach included some bites of fresh baked, hot, garlic artichoke bread from Pescadero some wine and two cookies...

Oh and some potato chips!

Wow now that I'm writing it all out?

It sounds even worse! I might need to wire my jaw shut to tame the carb monster tomorrow.
