Morning

How's everyone feeling this morning after yesterday? I feel pretty good and thinner too, which I wasn't expecting to happen

And I only got up once in the night for the loo

Morning,

I don't feel any thinner but I was shocked at what the scales told me this morning. :eek: When do we officially weigh in is it once a week?

Wont get too excited too soon as guess some of it might go back on now it's a normal day.

I didn't actually feel hungry until about 9am this morning, had slight tummy rumbles. But nothing to what I am usually used to. :rotfl:

Have eaten a very thick slice of toast with butter but don't feel I need anymore yet. :T

Officially once a week, unless you can handle the ups and downs of weighing daily. I can, and I do but my weigh in on Fridays is the only one that counts. During the course of the week, if I dont like what I see on the scales, then I know I need to try harder, and if I do like what i see, then I need to keep doing what I am already doing


Bodies are funny things. There are lots of different things that can affect weight loss. Hormones are the biggest problem, followed by dehydration and constipation, which often comes at the beginning of a new regime, as it takes a while for the body to get used to the changes. Drinking plenty of water will help combat toilet troubles as well as dehydration


Keep it up

Get well soon little t, and remember just because some are going through a particular bad time it doesn't make your illness any the less important . :A

Well done on your first day. I think you are right weighing in once a week is good. Some seem to have lost loads the first day, some a little, one nothing and one put a pound on! Give it a chance and look at the whole picture over the week. Non-diet day today. So far I have had a bacon sandwich (3 wafer thin slices of lidl black forest ham slices microwaved 1 minute until crisp) 2 coffees and a home-made muffin. I got up at about 6ish, but didn't want anything to eat until 8.30am. But my, it tastes good when you do eat after a day of fasting! I'm going to stay aware of what I eat on the non-diet days. I feel I can eat what I want today, but I am checking with my body first to see if I really want it, if you see what I mean. I must admit my body has noticed the german chocolate biscuits that my OH brought home for us, so would be too surprised if it needs one or two later! All the best to everyone.:)

It doesn't sound like he knows about it? I am sure there would have been a mention otherwise.

Hello, Please give it time tbw. Don't weigh yourself every day. That way lies madness, as our body weight changes naturally by a pound or two day to day, depending on time of day, time of month, whether you have just ingested or egested....etc.! Measure your waist and hips now, and weigh and measure yourself after a week. If you are doing the 5:2 diet you will lose 2 or 3 pounds a week, and the inches will drop off. You do get a bit of a headache at the start, but you are rather shocking your body by not feeding it for hours, and then only feeding it a quarter of what it thinks it "needs". And you are probably eating far less sugar, less caffeine, less chocolate. Drink loads of water and stick with it.

I'm not giving up and have another Fast day planned for Friday. When I can't eat 'properly' I can't be doing with faffing about in the kitchen so will stick to really easy 'minimum preparation' stuff - probably going to live on Heinz 5 beans (from my stash), mushroom omelettes , cottage cheese, jelly and a small jacket spud.

Trouble is, I have always hopped on and off the scales frequently. I only really take note of my weight last thing at night though. I will almost certainly continue weighing daily but will try to focus on the weekly weights only. I currently weigh around 10st 9lb and am 5'3" tall. I've never been thin and am realistic enough to know that the best I will achieve is a 'comfortable' weight for me - I reckon that I am aiming for a loss of 7 - 9 lbs.

I will stick with it and see what happens - my next holiday is a river cruise in mid August and I would like to lose weight before then - to allow for the inevitable minimum 4lb gain which happens everytime I go way!

I think my lack of food yesterday must have played with my brain, I did a big Approved food order in the early hours. :eek:

I have never ordered from them before and got a bit carried away, it's almost all food including chocolate which I am not short of.

Not sure what Mr TS will say when a big box arrives. I have no where to store any of it. :eek:

Just reorganised my stash shelves to fit on the cleaning stuff I got yesterday, glad I only got few things.

Found 2 boxes of MT I had forgotten about in a carrier bag by the side of the shelves that were right at the back of my bathroom. I have a feeling it is going to be a long time before it is ever a bathroom again. :o:o
