    Jump off it, it was a flippant remark based on my practice of 5:2 dieting - I do eat TDEE or less on the non fast days, though I have gone 500 Calories over it on rare occasions.

    I am still losing slowly as I near my target but I do have (just) visible abs :) and stretch marks :(

    Ah I get you :D Congratulations on your loss; it's bloody hard, isn't it?

    I think OP has tried 5:2 before.

    Aww, Tink. It's not often that you ever seem down in the dumps. I'm used to everything passing off you like water off the proverbial duck's back! I thought you were above all that!


    I hope your current mood isn't down to the bashing you've had from some of the other Posters round here? I admire the way you handle their scorn and derision.


    You usually seem as if your relationship with OH is solid as well. Can't be easy spending so much time cooped up together, but you write about him as if he's very supportive. Sorry if you're having a bad patch. Stick on some great positive tunes and make a list of some of the good stuff in your life maybe?


    And then keep on posting - it's much more fun with you around!!

    So, back to it tomorrow

    Part of me is dreading it as I won't have the freedom of not counting calories

    Sorry to hear that. If I can help in any way, let me know.


    I am back on the wagon as from today. Have joined a gym and have my induction and first AeroBiking class tomorrow evening.
    I think I'll need an ambulance by the time I have finished!
