Occasional treat

Found these in Aldi today. 29 cal for shortbread & 25 cal for Maria biscuits each. Sorry the photo is sideways!

Aargh! People keep doing this, posting something yummy when I am half way through my 5:2 fasting day. Torture! Roll on teatime!

How long have you been doing the 5:2? A few at work have tried in the past and been successful with it for a few weeks. Hope it's going well for you.

[Hidden in reply to Doitthistime]

Only my second week, but I did it two years ago with great results. (Back injury last year meant I was immobile for a few months, only really just back to normal, but the weight went back on unfortunately.) I don't have a great deal to lose, about 12lb, but I know from experience it comes off slowly with me. On the 5:2 I noticed the results on tummy and bust very quickly, inches came off before the lbs fell off. It is a mindset, like all weight loss regimes, just a matter of telling yourself you won't have more than 500 cal two days of the week. Works in well with social life.

Im also doing the 5-2 fits in with my life style. Since the 1st jan ive lost 7 pounds doing it. Got a few more pounds to loose than you. I lost 20 pounds last year doing it. Good luck

That's great, half a stone! Well done. I'm looking forward to getting my 7lb badge, but I know my progress will be slow. Don't mind as long as it goes in the right direction!

Ive just got to remember it took months to put it on .... And it's going to take longer to get off xxx my age ... My job ... All stacked against me xx but i want to get fitter more than anything and be able to run my first ever 5k. Ive down loaded the couch potatoe app and its sooo hard but i so want to be able to do it. My nan died of heart failure and my mum has heart and liver failure so i have to do this for them and me
