Oh Ruth bless you you poor thing, sorry I didn't see this yesterday. Hope you're okay now now? Defo need to eat something after fainting, that's the beauty if of the 5:2 - if you're unable to fast one day for whatever reason can just do the next. I'm fasting today as well, hope you have a good one x x

I made an appointment with my doctor today because my knees were really swollen after physio so she thought that's why I fainted. Bit of a shock to the system! Fell last April and my knees are still purple through bruising!!!!

Yeah I was pleased as its flexible. Had porridge which was fab and then that chocolate although pretty icky worked a treat!

Ooo hope you're having a fab fasting day!! Mine is going well, just dinner to sort whilst Dan is making a cheesecake. Boo!!

Hope you're well :)

Just been to my doctors to get weighed and also to be told I have a problem with my thyroid, at age 24 :( I cannot actually believe it!!! Aah well they are monitoring me to see how it goes :)

He is still threatening to put me on Orlistat which is a great big no no, however I weighed 87kg today which is 13, 10!

I am utterly overjoyed and I am loving this. Granted I haven't been well this week and did 2.5 fasting days. I think it shows me that if I eat some more then I lose better as well. Although I don't often have much of an appetite as I substitute my hunger for cigarettes (naughty I know :( ) I am going to make more of an effort on my normal days to get closer to 2000 :)

No bacon and egg sandwich treat today as not working but off to Ikea soon with my Dad and going to have some Swedish meatballs I think :)

Busy weekend too, it's our 1 year of Dan and me being together or 'anniversary' and he is taking me out to dinner somewhere unknown....

Hey Ruth that's a bit of a shock to find out you have a thyroid problem, did he give you medication or just going to monitor?
I can't believe he's still pushing the orlistat when you've lost nearly a stone since you last went how ridiculous!

Well done on you're weight loss though that is excellent :)

Omg ikea meatballs they are just the best! Enjoy and happy anniversary to you both, hope you have a lovely time this evening x x
