At goal & now beyond... 5:2 officially rocks!

Hmmm only down side I can see to this not weighing for a month is thinking "well I don't need to fast today it doesn't matter as it's not weigh day tomorrow" I will do as no other day I can do but I sense it will be a difficult one especially when it's great British bake off returning!!!!
 
Ooh yes, Bake Off tonight, just heard Paul Hollywood on the radio. I'll have some fruit followed by coffee with a Ripple while I'm watching it, lol. :) xx
 
Love Bake Off. So excited it's back on. I'm aware that using the word 'excited' in relation to a TV programme about baking might make me sound a bit sad but it is what it is I'm afraid. I really enjoy getting to know the personalities of all the new contestants. And James quite often watches it with me too!
 
Tracy, from the iPad I go to the top of the thread and click on the title, then go to the first post, click "edit" then "advanced" and I think you can do it from there.
 
I'm the same kb MasterChef (any of them normal celeb or professionals) is my favourite closely followed by bake off....

Been easier today than I feared it would be & even with tea am only up to 400 so have something left for a snack if required for bake off. The not weighing is not worrying me so much as curiosity to know where I am as I have no idea at all.... I know I'm probably still up on last official weigh in cos of weekend indulgences but don't know how much.... It's strange
 
Today's fast day food

Soooo hard watching bake off, almost drowned in my own dribble!!!!!! Am really pleased I completed today's fast cos with not getting weighed tomorrow it was almost like "well it doesn't matter if I don't" Ali did you find that at first??? But I did do it & am already very much looking forward to breakfast tomorrow.... So strange & slightly scary having no idea at all what I weigh, how much I gained over the weekend & how much of that I have lost..... No it's not quite a freak out but I sense there will be a few before next scale hop.... 25 sleeps til weigh in
 
Lol, you'll have to have one of those countdown apps like they have for Christmas - 25 sleeps to weigh day!

I was drooling at the Bake Off too - I survived it by having two of the mini Aldi chocolate bars I had for my birthday! That 17 year old is very impressive - wish my daughter could bake like that. On second thoughts, it's probably a blinking good job she can't!! :D xx

Since monthly weighing and going down to 2 fasts a week my fast days don't always happen like planned. Today was supposed to be a fast day and I moved it till tomorrow and tomorrow it may move to Friday. I will do 2 fasts a week though! I just find I'm more flexible with them without weigh in day looming as it always dictated Friday as a fast day. I think your no weighing is going great so far Lexie. You'll know from the fit of your clothes that you are still on track. xx

Thanks Ali, my next weigh is a Monday so I'll fast on the Sunday instead of the Monday that week as would be silly to weigh in after 4 up days when I've always weighed after a down....

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping on fast days? I'm tired but just can't seem to settle
