I'm seriously considering doing a weekly one-day fast. I worked with someone who used to do this for health reasons.

I found this on a site - its american for a prize for whoever knows what on earth the last one it!

2 large celery stalks = 13 calories, 1.2 grams fiber
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce = 18 calories, 1.4 grams fiber
1/2 cucumber = 20 calories, 1 gram fiber
1 medium tomato = 25 calories, 1.3 grams fiber
1/2 cup sugar snap peas = 30 calories, 3.4 grams fiber
1 carrot = 30 calories, 2 grams fiber
1 cup jicama sticks = 45 calories, 6 grams fiber

Frustrated Shock how rude of your neighbour! Why does she think that?

Fekko, that looks painful! I'd rather eat nothing all day than eat that. Have you tried 5:2? That sounds similar, although you get 500 calories on your fast days.

frustratedashell · 14/06/2018 14:59

Hi Cheddar yes it was a shock! I fell out with her cos I was fed up with her trying to control me. I called her out on it And she denied it . Best thing I ever did!

frustratedashell · 14/06/2018 15:00

I'm mental cos I fell out with her! Lol

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 14/06/2018 16:58

Sounds like falling out with her was the best thing you could have done!

I have sinned - work colleague is leaving tomorrow and brought in cakes. I could not resist. Blush Will just have to have a very small dinner.

ZetaPuppis · 14/06/2018 18:23

frustrated she sounds like the mental one. I have a neighbour I don’t get on with either and it’s such a pain. She doesn’t get on with other neighbours either so I know it’s definitely her.

I’ve done ok today. I have pmt and unusually I have no appetite. That’s weird as I usually want to eat tonnes. I didn’t eat anything til 2.30 and then I had an omelette then some Doritos (terrible, I know) now I’m not hungry at all.
I’m still giving myself til 7 to have something else so I’ll see.

Hang in there all those struggling.

Rainbowblume · 14/06/2018 18:32

cheddar it's a long game. I'm fully expecting to eat other food than I might make for myself tomorrow when we are invited out.

Todays food
B. Microwaved egg, tomato, a carrot stick, half a banana
L. Left over risotto, parmesan, tomato, celery and beetroot
D. Out for dinner - a green salad with chicken and mushrooms.

To drink: 1 coffee with milk and sugar, 1 tea with milk and sugar. Water.

Exercise? Nothing really. Half hour walk before work.

First weigh in tomorrow

frustratedashell · 14/06/2018 18:33

Thanks Cheddar and Zeta. Yes she's strange. She's very nosey and gossipy. She made me laugh when she used to say" I'm not nosey" and " I hate gossip"
Total hypocrite. She now seems to be finding excuses to come and knock on my door!
Well I've pigged out today, fed up with this constant battle with my weight.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 14/06/2018 19:34

Im telling you, people, shuffle out the zero calorie /slim pasta/noodles/rice.

Its surprisingly OK in taste and only 9 calories per 100g - so you can make a thick and lumpy veg sauce and eat a full plate of food (no nicking the kids maisy mouse plates for dinner!).

NB it smells like the devil's farts when you open the pack but it goes away when you rinse it.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 14/06/2018 20:40

You’re not selling it, Fekko! Grin

SlinkyB · 14/06/2018 21:11

@AsAProfessionalFekko what are these zero calorie starchy carbs you mention?

I've been atrocious this week. Properly down in the dumps and comfort eating. Fuck it.

Doje · 14/06/2018 21:30

Fekko, you had me until the devil's farts bit....

Well, I made it through the day only 50 cals over my quota, and went for a small run, but I'm saving those extra calories for cake tomorrow!

ZetaPuppis · 14/06/2018 21:41

Slinky hope everything is ok. It’s hard to focus on diets when we re emotional. You just need to look after yourself the best you can.

I’d rather eat nothing than devil fart smelling noodles Fekko Grin

frustrated that’s weirdly exactly like my neighbour! She is all like ‘look at me. I’m just a poor lonely old lady. I don’t gossip. I don’t like to speak bad of others’ then in the next breath would be gossiping about all the neighbours and informing the council of anything she thought was deserving of reporting.
She does the little lonely old lady act to all the neighbours and then tells everyone that her neighbours ie us are terrible to her, so we look like the bad guys! You have to laugh, really.

I didn’t eat anything earlier but I’m hungry now. I don’t want to eat as I’ve gone past my curfew (I’m really trying hard to stick to the couple of rules I’ve made) I’ll have some tea then go to bed.

Rainbowblume · 14/06/2018 21:43

Sorry to hear you are feeling down slinky hope it gets better soon.

blibblibs · 14/06/2018 22:45

It doesn't sound like it's been a good week for alot of us. I'm blaming the weather and PMT Grin
It's my first weigh in tomorrow and after the abismal week I've had I'll be happy to have stayed the same.
I think I might get my holiday clothes that don't fit out and see if that gives me the push I need!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you all for tomorrow

AsAProfessionalFekko · 14/06/2018 22:52

Here's the fart pasta. The make called something like 'slim pasta' smells even worse... But like I say, once you rinse it and add your sauce it's pretty good.

Good morning, sitting waiting for the bus so thought I'd start the weigh in today.
10st 5 today, so that's a 2lb lose. I'm pleased and surprised in equal measures!
Hope everyone else gets the results they're hoping for.

rabbitmat · 15/06/2018 07:11

3lbs lost for me today so feeling quite pleased. I have been really good all week - just hope I can keep it up as I have a lot to lose.

Rainbowblume · 15/06/2018 07:30

Morning. Congratulations blibblibs and rabbit
My first weigh after starting A bit less that a week ago and I am 1kg or just over 2lbs down. Have a nice weekend everyone.

stevie69 · 15/06/2018 07:46

Morning Shit Sorters,

I've just weighed in at 9st 0.5lb - so a weight loss on the week of 1lb. It's slow going but twas ever the way with me. A loss of between 1lb and 2lb per week is good, so I'm happy.

Look forward to seeing some happy posts later. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. Keep it up: weekends can be tough, I know.

Catch up with you next week, if not before.

ltk · 15/06/2018 07:46

Despite saying I'd wait a month, I weighed myself this morning. 8 pounds down in 2 weeks! I am hoping to lose 4 more in the next 2 weeks.

Greystar · 15/06/2018 07:52

Good morning, congratulations to those who have lost so far I'm down 2lb which I'm pleased with 🤞to keeping up the momentum Smile

Floralnomad · 15/06/2018 07:53

Well I’ve stayed the same this week , which is pretty surprising as I’ve not been particularly careful so I’m happy with that . Good luck everybody else and congrats to those who have lost .

SlinkyB · 15/06/2018 08:05

Do you guys want me to do a list tonight?

sola82 · 15/06/2018 08:06
