Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

you do what you have to do twinks, and if the 5:2 diet works for you then go for it

I totally support you wholeheartedly in anything that you do, whether it adoption or ivf or anything.

I have faith that you can lose the weight and we're all here to support you xx

What is the 5:2 diet twinks?

Good idea to give it a month, that's long enough to see if its working for you and if not you can move on to something new

I did my running challenge again last night (did I already tell you this?) and it's definitely getting easier!! Apart from slipping in the ice and getting lost only a couple of streets from y house

 

[EmmyReece]

how did you manage to get lost? Be careful you don't hurt yourself on the ice.

I think the 5:2 diet is eat what you want for 5 days of the week and then no more than 600 calories on the other 2, but they have to be non consecutive fasting days. Am I on the right wave length Twinks? xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've lived here for a year and clearly I've never explored beyond m own street when I got home I looked at the map on my runnin app and I jogged down a street I used to go to with my dad in the ice cream van. I recognised the name but had no clue it was here! I was just trying to avoid people seein me running like an injured seal along the main road so I skulked off into the estate

 

[twinkle1975]

Yep that's about it! It's meant to be good for cholestarol, avoiding diabetes etc. My thinking is I'm really bad at sticking to a diet & maybe knowing I could eat 'normally' the day after would make it easier to stick to. I found last week that (apart from the birthday treats) I was actually eating less on the non fast days - I actually stood in front of the fridge looking for something to eat & decided I didn't need anything - that never happens!!

Pix - I need to get some exercise going on - I tried running last year but I think I need to lose some weight first, the bottom of my legs are actually quite spindly & my trying to lug my mahoosive bum round at speed was just to much for them! I might have a go on the wii zumba later!

 

[EmmyReece]

It sounds like it suits you then twinks, espescially if you can stand in front of the fridge and not really want anything

 

[twinkle1975]

We'll see!!! I've had a manic day today (only realised at 9.45, while still in bed that I was meant to be at a meeting 30 minutes away at 10.30!) so all I've eaten so far is a slim-a-soup & 2 crackerbread. My tummy is rumbling so loudly I can hardly hear the tv!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm doing the couch to 5k app and its really good! it gets progressively harder but week one was bloody hard for me wii zumba sounds good! Carl suggested I go to a Zuma class but there's just no way I'd inflict that kind of horror on the world have you thought about cycling? easier on the shins - nit so much on the bum though!

I've never heard of a diet like that! I suppose it takes away the irrational fear that you'll never eat anything yummy again or is that just me?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

geeze that was like death by exclamation points :-/

 

[EmmyReece]

I guess it depends on what sort of diet you do. I love with slimming world as long as I stay within my daily syns then I'm fine I've had bolognese sauce in the slow cooker today and I can't wait Then going to have some choc philadelphia on fruit crunch ryvita later on tonight as a snack

 

[twinkle1975]

Alas we have no where to keep a bike - we live in a flat & we're not allowed to keep stuff in the hall!

So far my 'fast days' consist of:

1 weetabix & 100ml skimmed milk
2 satsumas
slim a soup
2 Ryvita crackerbread
100g cucumber
100g carrot
50g grapes
1 chicken breast
100g brocolli
100g mushrooms
100g tinned new potatoes
100g melon

It's liveable with!!

I tried the couch to 5k - I can only run for 30 seconds without wanting to lie down!!

 

[EmmyReece]

how did yesterday go twinks?

I know I'm not really meant to weigh in mid week, but I was curious as to what was happening weight wise and I'm down 3lbs so far

I'm not going to update my ticker, but I will update my chart thing in my spoiler as it will help to motivate me

hope everyone has a good day xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've always been a cheeky midweek weigher too em

Had spag Bol for tea last night. Was yummy but I ate way too much will have to be extra good today to make up for it!

 

[EmmyReece]

I had spag bol too, have got 3 portions in the freezer and another one in the fridge to take to mum's today for my lunch

I think I'm going to have a nosey at which dvd I want first as I have a feeling it won't be too long until I've hit my first 7lbs loss

Have had dragon fruit and an apple for breakfast, then spag bol and bit of cheese for lunch, then tonight we're having sausage, bacon, egg, tomato and mushrooms (all within syns)

I've just found out that a lovely lady from the weight loss forum I go on has been able to get me a starter pack for me to carry around and refer to, so I'm really happy about that and am sure it'll help to keep me on track

 

[EmmyReece]

Hope everyone is having a good day xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Noooo!!

It started off so well I had 30g of bran flakes for breakfast with a few grapes and a banana. Lunch I had pitta pockets with cottage cheese, lettuce and onion but ten I've just eaten 6 chocolates out of a tin of heros and a bag of snackajacks. I need someone to come lock up the kitchen cos I'm still hungry.

Except I'm not hungry. I just want to eat! Bum

 

[EmmyReece]

6 chocolates isn't that bad Pix, or snack a jacks either

what are you having for dinner tonight?
