5:2

[Georgia 2,911]

Uh, hello!!!!! Anybody out there?????? Friday. Day after fast. Holding steady. Happy weekend to all!

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Yeah, I was gone out of town all day where there was good, yummy delicious food being eaten in front of me all day.

I caved and had a chocolate covered banana dipped in nuts. It was soo good. I will semi fast saturday to make up for it.

Normal day for me yesterday, and woke up this morning with no gain and a steady weight! So, 3 days in a row with no weight fluctuation, dare I say I might hold steady at this weight? This means I am down 6.2 lbs since starting 5:2 and I have been doing it for 4 full weeks (or maybe 5, but I can't remember...)

For excited about it! I'll be honest, I don't love the fact that I have to go back watching what I eat (don't get me wrong, I was always pretty mindful), but if I had to pick something, this 5:2 is it! Knowing that I can eat the next day makes a fast day much easier to get through. Not like diets of the past where you felt like you were starving all the time or could never eat anything!

Anyways, have a great day everyone!

Well, I'm sitting in the middle of fields between rice, corn and soybeans in a big lodge called CrossHeirs. It's remote, secluded and lovely with my four other YaYa friends and husbands for the weekend have a chef cooking so you can imagine. . I am walking two miles morning andevening and not overeatng. So far. Lol

Went out with the dance girls after class for a pow-wow at a sushi restaurant. Had this lovely roll called the Popeye... but all the rice and soysauce got to me.... up 1.7 pounds. Fingers crossed its just the salt. Skipped alcohol and just had Water. Only went over my allotted cals by about a hundred, not too bad really. Tomorrow is another day!

Ok

and what happened to globetrotter. She went into the field for a couple of days last month but hasn't been back?

Edit ok invites have been sent.

[feedyoureye 3,087]

Globtrotter! Where are you!? She seemed like she was wound up pretty tight,, perhaps taking a break from the whole weight loss/diet conversation for a while. Come back when ready GT! We miss you girl!

Thanks for remembering who I skipped. I got a message that what we post is not private. People can read what we post, but they can't post unless they are invited.

Thanks for taking care of that. I'm not on the computer all the time, and if I"m gone, I take my lap top, but it's not like it is the days I don't work and I just sit home. Then I check in more.

I am down lower than I have been in a year. I was at a huge fair yesterday with every temptation imaginable. I lost 1 lb. I am thrilled. I was so afraid I was going to gain yesterday.

I want to see 140 again soon. I was 147 this morning. My lowest after surgery was 127 but I don't expect so see that again. If I can go below 140 and stick between 135-140 I would be one happy old lady sleever!

So can everyone see these posts?? Is that why another thread was started on the vets forum??

Never mind I just saw it in current threads...

[No game 14,437]

Ok got I got kicked out of the group for a minute but I'm back! I'm having trouble working the bugs out here.. Also Leeann has PMed me saying that she signed up earlier this morning and still can't get in?

Daisy can you check to see if the owner has to approve new people?

Sorry this is my first time with a closed group and I'm still trying to figure it all out!

Sooooo happy to be able to converse with all my friends. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I approved everyone who wanted to be in. Once you're invited, if you accept, I don't have to approve anyone again.

Maybe re-start your computer. If you're using a mobile version, I am of no help

Ken, is also Alex's right hand man as far as computer issues go.

Yes, everyone can read our posts. They can't post unless they are approved to join, which means they must fit our criteria. That is being 1 year post op and not making it to goal after following their surgeon's

instructions.

If they read the diet and they can follow it and try it for a week or two, they can join. They need to at least try the 2 days of fasting to see if they feel they can do it.
