Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted September 24, 2013 Morning gang Just wanted to check in with good news - after my 5th fasting day (Started 5:2 16 days ago) I am down a solid, and so far sticky 5 lbs. I will go change the ticker - which I do not do unless I know the number is there for good! I guess I could almost say I have had 4 real fast days - last week was a struggle - and last night on my fasting day I was ravenous! I was a bit over after my main meal (baked chicken and steamed broccoli) was at 545 calories, 43 Protein, 48 carbs, 20 fat when I got into my husbands peanut stash - I guess it could be worse. Milestones as well - my weight puts me in the simply 'overweight' category - no longer obese, morbidly obese, or super morbidly obese. I was considered high risk with my BMI for my surgery. I now weight at least 20 lbs less than my husband - I have always been the same weight or outweighed him. We both have the same start weight of 318 ironically This is a fantastic progress! You rock girl....the 5:2 diet (hate that word diet) does help us get to where we want to be if we work it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 5:2 is the only way that I have got to and stayed in the overweight category! Doesn't it feel great not to be considered obese! Keep up the good work! 2 No game and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M2G 1,836 Posted September 24, 2013 Ms. S - GREAT job fasting without planning it...yay for you. Sorry about the Headache though hopefully that went away! FYE - OMG you look amazing. YES red is YOUR color for sure!!! LV - ugh don't you hate it when your kids eat crap in front of you? I have fallen into the Lucky Charms trap many many a time (I still will measure it out and log it but dam*it, why do I need to eat those evil little devil marshmallows? GAH!) Chimera - yay! you are hanging tough girl, and wtg on the ticker change! So I fasted yesterday because today was (drumroll please) a DOUBLE WORKOUT day. I started my new class called "Women and Weights" and I have to say I'm not sure exactly what I expected, but it wasn't what I got. However, the ladies were all very nice, and the instructor DID ask me what I wanted out of the class, and I said I really want to work on my form. If I take the time to put on workout clothing, pull up my hair (not to mention get my hair all sweaty) and drive to the gym, GOSH DARN IT I want to MAKE IT COUNT. So if my form is off, then I want to know. She did give me a high compliment by saying I looked really good, and she only had to correct me one time. Then straight from my WAW class I went and did an hour of spin. Boy howdy am I ready for 1. a shower 2. a nap and 3. lunch (which I already had while cruising the forum.) Anyway, I'm glad I'm not fasting today. I went to go and log everything food wise and exercise wise and so far today I've eaten 596 calories and BURNED 1,038...so as long as I'm around 1,200 today I will be happy.

coops 1,790 Posted September 24, 2013 M2G - we are soooo on the same page again! I've done a double work out too! Did Zumba in after school (in-house with teachers and pupils - had a great laugh too) and tonight I took my daughter to the boxing gym! It is the first time I've been there since Jan, and the first time since my TT! What a difference. I felt great, like I've never been away. Didn't striggle for breathing, which was my main concern! I really feel good about this; like I'm getting my mojo back! Oh and 160 again this morning... just gotta break this new set point. I haven't fasted today as such but I haven't feasted either. Next fast day is Thursday for me now. 2 Ms skinniness and M2G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted September 25, 2013 No, I sent her a PM because I want to mail her package and I don't have her address. Was she going into the hospital and would be gone awile? I am excited that I've lost the 3 lbs I gained while Phil was here. I am doing really well today even though it's not a fast day. I want to see that number below 140 so badly. It's been a long time sime I've seen 130-anything. 2 coops and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
