Well that was a disaster of a weekend, I have drank and eaten so much it was disgraceful. Nothing much planned for next weekend so I am determined to stick to plan this week. Monday - Thursday is easy then I totally lose the plot the other 3 days.

I'm not a fan of weetabix or porridge so I struggle with breakfast. I tend to have boiled egg with soldiers using lower cal bread."These things take time but I know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped"0 -
Fast day for me today after a weekend away with puds and cake. Some walks and active dancing too so not too bad. And I made it to the gym again this am and this time did a proper workout.CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420

I'd much rather eat granola/muesli than weetabix but I can only be trusted to exercise portion control with weetabix...

Back from my girls long weekend away - by rights I should have lost loads of weight but in reality I probably haven't!!!
Will weigh myself tomorrow when I am back in work.
Barely ate anything all weekend but drunk enough to sink a ship and danced for at least 6 hours every night!!
Must get back on 5:2 - will start again tomorrow.0 -
Well done everyone who has and hasn't lost weight - you are all amazing!!
It's great that we can all post our highs and lows and that everyone is so supportive.0 -
Well done MWC.
I have done my 2 fast days and looking forward to eating fruit and muesli for breakfast rather than a meagre bowl of porridge.
