    Perhaps try looking at a bit bigger picture. On 5:2 the weight loss is supposed to be 1lb a week so you should lose 4lb in the month and you've already lost 3 of those. :D Im writing a thread rather than a diary thing but your welcome to comment! Don't forget the water and enjoy your Friday. :)

    RTM?

    You lose weight and then put back the glycogen stuff. I think most will tell you to start where you want to end up because that's where you will probablly be when it all evens out. Hope that makes sense!! And you have been a little star with your losses!! Well done you, very proud of you! X

    You don't feel hungry. Because you're not teasing your body with mini tastes of this and dried out that it just goes into ketosis and burns fat instead. And the coucelling of course. Find out why you treat food like you do and do something about it with support.

    What combination of packs is allowed and why aren't we allowed more than one bar?

    Only one bar because of the greater amount of carbs in it I'm affraid. As for the other three packs a day, you can have what you like. I know quite a few survive on just one variety. I think Pete only has/had the choc shakes and that's it. Good luck this time around.

    Don't you dare replace them! If he wants them he can go buy them! (But don't tell him and he probably won't notice anyway.) No I don't want the 2 lb back but I'll send you a hug for the offer. Chin up, you could still be the weight you were this time last year. Summer is coming!!!!!

    Another 2 lb off for me this week. I'm really enjoying this now!! Monday to Friday evening an absolute angel and a slight slip of the halo at the weekend. BUT I found I wasn't very naughty anyway! OH told me what he's cooking for me tonight and I declined a couple of the carby options...

    Heartburn help

    Drink plenty of water (ha ha!), don't have your last pack too late and sleep slightly elevated. The heartburn will stop when the weight falls. Promise.

    Does weight loss pick up again?

    Try looking at a bigger picture. You will lose about a stone a month if your 100%. The first loss is just water and glycogen so you usually gain most of that back when you're back into food. It is early days for you yet, keep going. You won't see losses like it on any other diet.

    They certainly do! Try a couple. You still may not like them but it could be interesting!

    But a lot of this isn't the fact that he's playing something that's been rated unsuitable, it's about the fact that he's pushing his boundaries, as they all do, and seeing which of Daisy's rules he can break. Even if she feels guilty and a right poo at taking away his game, she has to stand...

    A great shopping trip

    And why not! Well done you and shout all you want!!!

    But you will have set yourself back a little, and mentally a lot. It's also cost you money. Your choice. 100% and do it quick or play around and be here for ages wasting time and money. Best thing is to forget about it and move on. Tomorrow is another day and do it properly this time.

    water

    Still or sparking soda or tap, NOT tonic! The water flavours are really lovely with soda actually. Used to be the best way I could get it all down!!

    Hard call Daisy. You really should try to gain the support of his father too if you can. I had the same problem with Gran Theft Auto and my son 10 years ago. I really put my foot down and banned him from playing it at home. I knew I as banging my head against a brick wall though, especially...
