Hello I'm back.....
I will join in on Thursday. Blimey that's tomorrow isn't it,
So I've weighed myself and put on 5lb even though I had salad at least once a day, love Caesar salad. Had loads of fish and plenty of wine...... I did miss a meal every single day whilst away it was easy and came naturally to me to either have hotel breakfast or a nice big salad lunch. My eating habits have definatley changed and I'm pleased to say that I ate when hungry and stopped when full. Certainly got a few funny looks from the inlaws who thought that hotel breakfast means eat as much as you can. Calamari, shrimp or prawns as we call them. I did have a couple of Maccy D's sausage and egg breakfasts, actually not bad. Three key lime pies and two ice creams
So my DODO starts tomorrow and if I can I will be at it till I lose that stone, yes I'm now looking at 1 stone to goal. Except I will have a wedding and long weekend in Plymouth 23rd April so will cross that bridge when o come to it.
Will re-weigh in the morning, just to make sure...
I hope to be knocking those naughty pounds down asap.

Welcome back buddy! Glad you've had such a wonderful holiday (doesn't time fly though) . Don't worry too much about the 5lb gain. I'm sure you'll soon lose that again. As for the stone, I'm sure it won't be too long before that's shifted...especially as mindful eating is working for you now as well.
Anyway, look forward to you joining us in the DODO tent tomorrow

Sitting here catching up with normal life, washing, unpacking, paying bills, shopping and fasting!
It's an everyday normal thing for me now. Got a busy few days before going back to work on Monday so I hope that I can get back often to let you know how my DODOing is going. Think ive only fasted on a sat once, so this should be interesting it's all in the mind!

Well hello buddy! I must say I'm super impressed with your keenness to get back into the fasting swing! Hope today is a good one for you and you don't feel too flat. Yes, Saturday will be interesting for you won't it. Don't worry, though. Its just like any other day!

Heading over to your DODO tent for an update.

Hello I'm looking forward to going to class this morning, and I will be back later with my official weigh in. And then brunch, craving toast this morning. Planning Saturday's food already of not I will fail so either a BBQ with salads or a takeaway chicken kebab.
I'm three pounds down already, yay,
Where are you miss B, at the garden centre drinking hot chocolate in the sun?

How DID you guess Oatesy?!!
Mmmm that hot chocolate was scrummy and much needed. I had a good fast yesterday and am very much looking forward to my lunch today, thats for sure.
Can't wait for the "official" weigh in later.
How's it going in Candy land? Are you fasting today or not until next week? xx

[carieoates]

Weekly weigh in is usually after last fast of the week so I will say that I'm 12.8 which is 3 lb off. Having homemade very veggie lasagna tonight with salad and maybe some wine.
Nearly forgot about tonight. I've had a cheesey roll with ham today.

This time next week, Oatesy, I'm sure you'll be 12.4 again! And don't forget what Josie says about weight. You can't weigh fat (or something like that) and, looking at your photos, I don't think you have an ounce of fat on you!
How was your first workout after you hols?
