Where is everyone ?

Haven't weighed myself, but I can tell!!
Back on 5:2 as of today. x

Rubylady, I have lost 5 stone, 4 of them by 5:2. Feel soooo much better for it, too. Now low carb, higher fat for me and have maintained for a year. My BMI is around 22.
Good luck and keep focussed.

Mrs Pickles, many many congratulations. I put on two stone after the menopause. I saw it going on and tried to lose it as it went on but without success. Up until then my experience had been that any weight gain could be got rid of with calorie restriction and more exercise.

Over the ensuing 10 years, I tried a variety of diets, but without success. Last year I tried the standard Fast diet with very little success with that either but then came across the Fast Beach Diet, which involved 2 fast days, but cutting back, but not excessively, on non-fast diets. In four months I lost the 2 stone and I have kept it off for four months so far without a problem.

Post-Christmas weight gain now down to 3lbs and within the band my weight normally varies around on a day to day basis.

Thank you MrsPickle I have just ate a sausage roll.

Must get my head in right place to start again.

I am very conscious about my diet. Fresh vegetables and fruit uses leads to healthy and prosperous life.

What's happened to the Weekly Weigh-In? Not seen it around for ages, is glass OK?

I've been wondering where Glass is.

glass has been busy with family stuff over the last few weeks. We could keep the diet thread going by ourselves for just now, perhaps?

Thanks, Marelli, please give glass our love.

I'm not a weigh-in participant as I actually have trouble keeping mine up, but had noticed the threads had disappeared and that glass hadn't been posting recently.

Same here please!

Have just contacted glass, and she's been really busy with stuff, so hasn't had any chance to be on GN much. She's asked if we can carry on with the thread ourselves in the meantime.
I'll set it up on Sunday night because I'll not have time on Monday morning as I'm heading up to Aberdeen with Elegran, thatbags and Elizabeth1 to meet with Katek!
So get the scales dusted off, everyone.... - oh dear......I think I've filled out a bit again...

I started 5:2 last week and so far, so good but have currently got a rotten cold manflu and haven't felt like eating much.

I'm not sure how often I want to weigh myself though, as it's very discouraging when the scales don't move!

Oops! The diet didn't get going when I expected it to. I'm going to wait now until after DH's doctor's appointment on Monday. He has been having his blood pressure monitored for eight days, morning and evening as it is quite high. We may have to drastically change the way we eat. I don't mind at all. I think we eat far too much meat, so if the GP says he has to cut red meat out of his diet I won't really mind.
