    Monday W.I.

    As promised, a weekly update! I lost 2.2lb this morning which I'm thrilled about! That makes it 1st 3.2lb in the last 6 weeks alone :D

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Yay!! I lost another 2.2lb this morning :D So that's 1st 3.2lb gone in the last 6 weeks, and 14 more weeks until our jollies. Woop woop!!

    Anyone 12's to get to 11's?

    Haven't posted in here for a while! Had been on and off plan for quite a while and found myself yo-yoing between the 12's and 13's. However, five weeks ago I restarted 5:2 and in that time I've managed to go from 13st 7.6lb to current weight of 12st 6.6lb. I'm hoping this will just be a short...

    Monday W.I.

    Me, I do! I just don't tend to visit Mini's as often anymore. I restarted 5:2 five weeks ago, however, and have lost 15lb in that time! Will try to remember to update here each Monday :)
  6. Princess_Stevie

    Maybe a silly question, but does it work?

    It definitely works - I've lost 15lb in the five weeks that I've been back on 5:2. With regards to counting calories, there are some people who don't count at all on their "normal" days. However, I think this leads onto your question about self-sabotage. I personally wouldn't be able to take...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thank you!! That's exactly what I thought to myself this morning. I can't remember ever losing continuously for five weeks!! Roll on next Monday so I can make it six :p x

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thanks ladies! Feeling in such a good place at the moment. I don't think I've ever, in all of my dieting / weight loss history, felt so motivated or determined. And just generally positive! Bring on week 6 :)

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Another 1.4lb off for me this morning! Making it a total of 1st 1lb (15lb) in the last 5 weeks :D 15 weeks until hollibobs!
  10. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thanks honey! I hate to say it, but not being a regular user of Mini's any longer really does seem to be working wonders! I've never been good when the pressure is on, so I think that posting my diaries on here, on IG, MFP, etc. was all a bit much. Now I simply log my diaries with MFP and post...

  12. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    1.6lb off for me this morning. I'll be totally honest and say that I'm a little disappointed as I really wanted it to be 2lb, so that it would make it 1stone lost in the last four weeks. But, I should just be grateful of a loss and not be greedy! I've still lost consecutively for the past four...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Aww, thank you lovely!! I'm afraid I don't often post much on here anymore. Not like I used to anyway. I don't post my food diaries now, just my weekly weigh in result. But still great to have the support! Good luck xx

  15. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    If I'm totally honest I'd really love to lose a further 1st 13.6lb before we go away, which would take me back down to 10st 10lb. I'm trying not to make a big thing of it though and have it set in stone, instead I'm just trying to go with the flow and take any loss that comes. To lose 27.6lb in...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thank you all, I'm over the moon!! Would really love that 2lb off next Monday to make it 1stone. 17wks until our hols now and feeling more determined than ever to keep going with the plan and shift as much as possible. If I can lose 12lb in 3 weeks then imagine what I can do in 17!! Come on...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    I have done that too!! I have two very unflattering photos of myself (front view and side view) at my restart weight of 13st 7.6lb, and I'm hoping to see a big improvement when I take another set in 18wks time before we go on holiday. Might take another set before then actually, maybe in another...
  19. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    If I can get back on the wagon and find my mojo, then so can you!! Even just 1lb per week would make you half a stone lighter by the time your hols comes around. 2lb per week would be a stone!! How fab would that be. You can do it xx

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Just a quick update to say I lost 2.8lb this morning! Would have liked that pesky 0.2lb to make it 3lb, but I shan't complain :giggle:. Anyway, that makes it 8.8lb gone in the last fortnight and another 18wks until our holiday. Feeling more motivated than ever and ready for another great week! :D

    Thank you - both very helpful and useful posts! We are starting to get really excited now.

    Waist training?

    I agree, it's probably a self confidence thing and another way to make themselves look "nice". Not much different to wearing makeup, as you say. Or having breast implants, etc. Believe it or not, not all women give a damn about how men think they look.
  25. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    I just found it on google images! I can't remember exactly what I typed in now, but it was something like 'weight loss colour in dress' or 'drop a dress size colour in'. Really keeps me motivated at the minute as I'm looking forward to colouring it in each week. So easily pleased lol :D xx
  26. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thanks both. Feeling really determined at the moment and this little colour-in weight loss tracker is really helping to keep me motivated: Going to colour each loss in as a different colour. So this weeks 6lb loss is in pink, next weeks loss will be another colour. So I can easily see how...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Hi everyone. Just a quick update to say that I lost 6lb this morning! More than happy with that, seeing as though *star week* arrived on Friday. The real success, though, will be a second consecutive week on plan. That's where I've struggled recently and been stuck in the rut of one week on...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Hey everyone! I'm fine, thanks for asking. I'm just taking a break from minis at the moment, as I feel that with IG and MyFitnessPal it's all a bit much. I'm not good when I feel like there's pressure on, so I'm just sticking to posting my eats on IG and MFP for the moment. I wiped my social...

    Happy Easter everyone! We've had an amazing weekend. Just laid in the hotel bed, going to get up soon and go for food before our train home. Not going to lie - my food wasn't as good as I'd planned (had chips with Nando's) etc. but we basically have had one meal a day. Lots of drink...

    I'm even more excited now!! And, just as an interesting comparison, the Fino Coleslaw (one size only) is just 75cals per serving. Whereas the "normal" coleslaw is 264cals per regular serving or a whopping 528cals per large serving!! It's amazing how many calories you can save just by swapping...

    The ones I liked were actually seperates, so you could mix and match sizes. But the tops are still way out. I tried a size 18 top on and I'd have been lucky for it to even cover one boob, nevermind two! Ridiculous. I'm going to get remeasured nearer the time and then go somewhere that sells the...

    Not yet - well, not clothes shopping anyway. I've bought a couple of pairs of sandals to put away. I don't want to buy clothes yet, because my hope is that I'll be at least one (hopefully more!) size smaller by the time we go away. I did see some lovely bikinis in Primark last week, however I...

    Decided to sack off the prosecco tonight. Not fancying it anymore! Going to go for vodka and diet coke - a bit more refreshing and it means I won't be having to carry around a big bottle of prosecco if we can't get a table / want to go out to the beer garden area!

    It's Warren's absolute favourite! He requests it every time he comes for tea lol, so I usually have it once a week.

    Maybe when I get back to where I was most comfortable (10st 10lb), then I can ditch the scales a little and focus on other things - body shape, clothes fitting better, etc. But for now that just doesn't work for me. I can't ever see it working for me if I'm totally honest. As I say, I need to...

    See, this is the exact reason that I stopped exercising so much. And am quite reluctant to start it again. As I've said, I'm of the mindset that if the scales aren't moving then my dieting and exercising is pointless. I know I should focus more on how my body changes and how my clothes fit, but...

    Hello lovely, thank you for commenting! I briefly read your comment last night but have only just found the time to reply. I was actually thinking myself about exercise again. Nothing too strenuous, as it does tend to play havoc with my scales (I need to see them moving or for me the whole...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    It sounds like I am making excuses for everyones suggestions here, but I did that last year (old followers may remember two brightly coloured strappy bikinis I ordered?) and it all went ti*s up. I am just not good with pressure. And then if it got to it, and I didn't fit them, I'd end up beating...

    Awww, what a lovely post!! Thanks Jennie. I really wish I knew what it was that prompted me to fall (or, rather, dive head first) off the wagon. And also what still seems to be hindering me in getting back on it, as it's really frustrating. But whatever it is I can't keep making excuses for it...

    Thanks as always everyone for your comments and words of support and advice. I am amazed that anyone is even interested anymore, as I'm even boring myself these days, so it is quite comforting. Just took the test, and apparently I am 48% Emotional, 29% Craver, 23% Feaster. Interesting!

    Totally understand what you're saying about group, but for me that is partly the reason I left SW.

    I agree, its definitely not worth it but it doesn't make it easier like you said. I wish I wasn't such a typical comfort eater - I wish I could be one of these people who struggle to eat when upset / stressed / etc. That would make losing weight so much easier lol! x

    Morning diary, happy Sunday. We're just having a lazy one here - snuggled up in bed catching up on Hollyoaks at the moment! Haven't had any of my Graze bits and bobs yet. I'm quite good with them - I've still got about another four various punnets left in my cupboard from a few boxes back. I...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Just got home to my newest Graze box. Some absolute gems in this one! I have had the peanut butter and pretzels, carrot cake and rocky road granola topper before - they're on my 'love' list which is why they've sent them again - and I'm very excited to try the chilli and lime pistachios! All of...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Morning diary, happy Saturday! Really enjoyed my Nando's last night. It was beautiful! We had a lovely night. Also had a nice surprise this morning - Warren's not playing football again this week so I get to spend another Saturday with him. Yay! :) It's a gorgeous day here today, it's like a...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    This may be quite sad, but I'm a little bit excited! A few days ago on my photo-sharing app I had a comment left by Quorn (on a photo I'd hashtagged #Quorn) to say that, as part of their #randomactsofkindness giveaway they're doing, I've won a prize! I've never won anything in my life so hence...

    ...it actually IS Friday!! :D

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Aww, thanks for finding me honey!! I'm still gobsmacked about last weeks weight loss if I'm honest, but I'm quite expecting a maintain or just a teeny loss this week. I've been 100% on it, I just don't think I'll be lucky enough to get another good loss straight after that?! But we shall see...
  208. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Morning diary, happy Friday. Yay! So pleased it's finally the weekend. I've seen nothing of Warren since Monday so I'm looking forward to seeing him, and also going for our Nando's! :p When we get home we'll just be having a nice cosy night, love those! Looking forward to Eastenders tonight too...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Lol!! I never thought I'd manage it either, but I guess I'm just used to it now. My stomach must be shrinking? Some days I will split my cals and have something for breakfast or lunch and then my tea on a night. But lately I have been going all day without anything. I honestly don't feel hungry...
  210. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Honestly, it really does help! I've not eaten anything yet today but have drunk plenty, and I don't feel hungry at all. Just having black tea as I type :) It is indeed the last Fast of the week! Will be nice to get it over and done with. Then, as I said, we're off to Nando's for tea tomorrow -...

    Don't you just love it when...

    ...it's almost Friday!

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thanks honey. I still track my calories on Feast days and stay within my TDEE but if I fancy something and I have the calories for it, whether it's "healthy" or not, then I will have it. Hence the Greggs yesterday :p Thanks again for subbing. Hope Thursday is good to you! xxx It really is...

    90 Day SSS Plan

    Sounds like you're very organised and all prepared!! You excited to start? xx
  214. Princess_Stevie

    How often do you find yourself feeling hungry?

    One thing I thought of when I read this was, are you drinking enough? Quite often we can mistake hunger for thirst - it's funny how our bodies can "trick" us at times. In fact, just this morning I woke up feeling absolutely starving, which is unusual for me as I can never usually eat anything...
  215. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Good morning diary, happy Thursday. One day closer to Friday, Nando's and the weekend! :giggle: Today's my second Fast of the week, and this morning I was really nervous as I woke up feeling starving. Had a drink of water and I was fine - turns out I was thirsty rather than hungry! It's amazing...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Hello hun! Oh, that's fab. Pleased to hear it's going well for you too :) I'm just preparing for my second Fast of the week tomorrow! X Oh yummy!! It was a very nice, one-off treat x
  217. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Mmm, decided I'm going to treat myself to a baguette sandwich from Greggs for lunch. They're my absolute favourite and I've not had one in ages! Even having that with crisps and a drink for lunch, and with my tea and dessert included, I'm still left with 566cals for the day. So I've realised I...
  218. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    I don't have dessert every night if I'm honest, mostly just when Warren is around as he's a chocoholic and has to have something sweet afterwards lol! I usually eat tea between 5-6pm and then would have dessert at around 7ish? It's funny, I never ate dessert when I was following SW but now I do...
  219. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    See, by the time I've had my tea and dessert I'm usually stuffed. "Supper" for me is usually just a little something sweet with a cup of tea whilst I watch the soaps. I'll just have to give my porridge a miss today, shame as I was looking forward to it too! I love the caramel porridge pots. But...
  220. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    I've just realised I'm not going to have time for my breakfast this morning! I've had my energy drink but I won't be able to fit my porridge in. I usually eat at around 10am, but I've got a meeting scheduled in at that time for an hour. Then by the time I come out at 11am it'll be too late, as...

    List 5....

    I feel this is a good one for me, as I (quite) recently left SW to start another plan (5:2). I don't want to slate the plan as it really did change my life for the better, but there are a few things that annoy me / that I disliked about the plan... 1. I found it had become quite restrictive...
  223. Princess_Stevie

    What's for lunch?

    Planning on having a Tesco Healthy Living roast chicken salad sandwich, Special K Cracker Crisps and a bottle of Dr Pepper Zero!
  224. Princess_Stevie

    What's for tea?

    Quorn pizza "chicken" served with spicy sweet potato wedges and steam veg. Plus a Creme Egg Pot of Joy for afters :)
  225. Princess_Stevie

    What's for breakfast?

    A sugar free energy drink and an Oat So Simple caramel porridge pot :)
  226. Princess_Stevie

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Thank you honey! Just posted todays eats - I'm really looking forward to tea tonight as Warren's coming round and I'm making pizza chicken. Yum! Also going to pick us up some of those Creme Egg Pots of Joy for our dessert. I love those - well, anything "Creme Egg" actually! Feeling so positive...

    Good morning diary, happy hump day! I'm pleased that this week seems to be going quickly, and I hope it will continue to do so. At this rate it'll be the weekend before we know it! I'm looking forward to the weekend mainly because we're going to Nando's on Friday night lol. It's been a few weeks...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Hello lovely, thanks for joining me! :) I know what you mean - our bodies definitely start to crave the healthy stuff at some point. I ate so much rubbish after being on and off different plans for months and I think my body was so grateful for good, healthy food last week that it said thank...

    Granola / mueski

    You can count 1 Syn per every 20 calories as a rough guide. So, for example, if 25g is 80caories then it will be around 4 Syns.
  231. Princess_Stevie

    Granola / mueski

    If it's not in the book / on the website listed as a Healthy Extra...then it's not a Healthy Extra. You will need to Syn it, I'm afraid!

    Idiots in the Gym and general weirdness

    I appreciate that, but it's hard to focus when you have someone banging and clattering into you every five minutes. Anyway, I'm hijacking the thread a little here which wasn't my intention. I was just posting my opinion on what personally annoys me at the gym. I'll let someone else have a turn...

    Idiots in the Gym and general weirdness

    If I remember rightly she used to spend the majority of the class getting in other peoples way and thinking she owned the place. And looking at herself in the mirrored walls! People like that put me off going back to classes. I can't get a good workout in when they're in the way. I appreciate...

    Idiots in the Gym and general weirdness

    Ahaha, it was more aimed at the girl who used to go to the same Saturday / Sunday morning BodyCombat class as I did and would always come in with her hair perfectly straightened / tied up in some pretty way. And a face full of makeup / false eyelashes as if she was going on a night out. Or maybe...
  235. Princess_Stevie

    Idiots in the Gym and general weirdness

    Girls (and maybe some boys, each to their own!) that go to the gym with their hair done and a face full of makeup. And then finish looking no different whatsoever. What's the point? I agree - if you're not sweating whilst working out, you're not doing it right!!

    Pancake Day (aka. Shrove Tuesday)

    No pancakes for me today, we're not really bothered this year so not going to the fuss of making them. Helps the diet too!
  237. Princess_Stevie

    This or That

    Nutella!! But instead of strawberries with it, I'd have peanut butter - like a Reese's / Snickers inspired pancake! That used to be my favourite as a child (no wonder I ended up needing to diet :rolleyes:). Now, I noticed there were lots of singletons moaning on FB over the weekend how VD was a...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    Okay, so I converted the recipe from cups to grams and it is as follows... - 50g plain porridge oats - 75g mashed banana - 1/4 tsp vanilla extract - 60ml almond milk (or any other milk, I will use this as it's lowest in cals) - Pinch of sweetener - 15g cocoa powder (I will use Tesco Everyday...
  239. Princess_Stevie

    This or That

    Lie in - even though I can never really manage one as my body clock seems to be set for 6am, no matter what day it is! As it's Shrove Tuesday... Sweet pancakes or savoury?
  240. Princess_Stevie

    Don't you just love it when...

    Think this one will be a "love" and "hate" for many people today. Love that it's a day dedicated to yummy pancakes. But hate that they are not the most diet friendly lol. I'm not having any, as I'm not really bothered. But I've enjoyed seeing how others are having them. I've seen some really...

    The 5:2 Diet - My Feasting and Fasting Diary!

    That looks yummy! I did pick that up actually, but then put it back down again lol! Only because I found one for 252 cals, so ever so slightly lower. It's their "Count on Us" chicken with slow roasted mushrooms and baby onions in a rich red sauce. And it comes with a "hearty portion of...

    What's for breakfast?

    Fasting today - just had a can of Monster Zero for breakfast (15cals).
