    Morning all! Well done those who started 5:2 yesterday. Don't forget to listen to your body today rather than using a non-fast day as an excuse to eat double! Having said that, don't be too stingy either: You don't calorie count, you just consider. The Horizon programme indicated that those who kept to low calories on non-diet days actually lost less weight than those who 'ate freely'. It just takes a couple of weeks on the diet to realise what "eating freely" means! You learn to listen to your body and should find that you will eat only 10% more calories than 'normal' on non-diet days. With the 25% of 'normal' you eat on fasting days, that gives you a seventh less calories eaten over a diet week. And the fasting days switch on some useful hormones that will help you lose weight faster. And lower your blood pressure. And help prevent type 2 diabetes. And, And.....watch the Horizon programme! Good luck to those who start the diet today or tomorrow. After 2 weeks it will seem quite natural.

    It'll probably work tomorrow - we need those 20p/50p prices to hold on msm.co.uk in tomorrow daytime. Lol:rotfl::rotfl:- I keep referring to msm ".co.uk" now, now that they have an American site - I can't just refer to "msm" and be accurate can I???:rotfl::D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    RL consisted of... a trip to Sains:( unfortunately!
    Nice £10 BM popped out of the coupon printer at the end. Better than the stingy £4.71 I got from the APG calculating correctly (except for the Herby Potatoes):rotfl:.

    I can't tell you unfortunately whether the cleaning stuff has been picked up on BM as my shopping was, of course, against A. Bucking the trend again! (No - it was just the items bought.)
    I can confirm the Dole Tropical Pineapple Slices - I thought a pineapple is a tropical plant? - are goer S (£1.10) vs A (45p). The descriptions on S's and A's websites are different but this is the same product, which is - correctly - being picked up.

    Regarding the cleaning stuff, perhaps someone has been in Sainsbugs and has noticed if people buying the Harpics are getting a bit of a BM back when perhaps they wouldn't normally?!?:rotfl::rotfl:I know we have Sains. checkout workers on this site - maybe you can tell us??
    Thanks for all your lists and checking things out Savvy. If you ever want to check an S Shop, do you know that you can put your receipt or nectarcard number into the Sainsburys Brandmatch bit on their website and get a comparison list? I think you have to wait until after 9am the day following your shop, so it won't be much use for short-lived glitches like Harpic.

    Morning all. First day of 5:2 for me today. I've had a T light choices yogurt for breakfast at 65 calories. It actually tasted quite nice, although a bit thin. Lunch will be 5 rice cakes which have had a glimpse of a marmitey knife and dinner mainly vegetables. Other than that, mainly water with perhaps a cup of tea this evening. Good luck everyone else starting today.

    Why do we use the bathroom more on fast days, is this excess fluid orf water consumption? TIA x managed to complete a fast day yesterday. Aiming or 1000 cals today. Lets keep going guys xx
