Hi Roscoe - the website has just let their security certificate expire. It's not really a big deal, especially since we are not posting credit card information or anything like that. I did send an email to the support email address to alert them. But no one can hack into your computer because of it!...

I read the article--yes, depressing, but not unexpected. I believe that those of us who have been overweight for a significant period already have a somewhat depressed metabolic rate, especially those who are serial dieters. So, although 5.2 has enabled me to achieve and maintain a 15% weight reduct...

Hello Ieramul, good to see you and glad to hear you are doing well with fasting. I know very well what you mean when you say nothing seems to satisfy, those days for me end with a big binge-fest! till I am so full my stomach hurts and I am nauseous. Thank goodness that hasn't happened in a while alt...

Hi Lori - interesting re the potatoes. Sometimes some fast days are much more difficult than others, and I feel more hungry. Over time, (I 've been fasting 18 months now) I've noticed that this is usually after I've eaten more carbs than usual in previous days. I don't exclude foods as I've always f...

@lori no, it's all knowledge sharing and the more we know, the better. I'd never heard about the potato hack, so it's thanks to you and @peebles that I am now better informed.
Share away, in my eyes, everyone please.

Lori , If you read the whole Potato Hack thread, you'll see that over time the people who did it found it didn't produce weight loss. That kind of post is very typical of that site, where people are always looking for some kind of simple miracle weight loss short cut rather than accepting that it i...

I've been doing some reading on an alternate day diet thread on another site about something called a "potato hack". I'm not interested in eating only potatoes for 5-7 days, but I'm going to try eating potatoes on my fasting days. The key is to have NO fat with the potato. You can bake or ...

I have definitely been having a harder and harder time with every pound I lose. It isn't so much the focus on the scale (which is moving slowly, but I am working on "the last 5 lbs.") It's that it is getting MUCH tougher not to overeat on the non-fast days. I reread the post citing Dr. Ama...

4 more walks from the Penrith Ramblers book and an actual walk with the Penrith Ramblers. The imagination can take you back to childhood when you have to hack your way through rampant vegetation and elude savage beasts (aka nettles and bulls). Nettles grow up amazingly quickly on paths that are rare...

Loved it, thank you! I had to give up riding 10 years ago when I'd had 2 ops on my knees, but now I've had my replacement knee, I'd love to go on a gentle hack again.
I'm most envious of you an your 'boys' and just love the way you were so determined to get back in the saddle.
