    Morning all.

    Too early for a Sunday morning here, shoulder and neck feeling a bit funny since I got up, not sure if it was the way I slept or somehow done something getting changed. Hopefully will ease off once I start moving about properly.

    Stayed up a bit too late last night really but had to wind down. Hate doing a late and then an early.

    Morning ladies.... Had an awful nights sleep last night. OH was tossing and tun ringing and through the holidays he's become a night owl!!

    It's gonna be a big shock for him tomorrow having to get up at 3.15am to travel back down south!

    Sorry Becci, I see where the 3500 cals come from now.... 500 under your recommended intake a day over 7 days. Sorry, I'm not great with this sort of thing lol

    We are taking FSIL dog for a walk today. He's a springer spaniel and blooming beautiful. I'm gonna walk his little legs off ha ha ha

    OHs dog (bull mastif) is too old now and suffers with arthritis so can't manage the long walks anymore. I love going with him though as he looks scary and people don't come near me lol

    Eating only once a day is really bad for you though becci as it increases blood pressure and blood sugar, you can be Slower at decision making as your body doesn't have enough glucose- there's been quite a few studies on it- also it can actually make you gain weight as your body doesn't know when it's next meal is do stores more fat

    My body has done it for too many years to change my routine now

    Apparently it's also the diet that Rhonda rousey does although I've not read into it

    I don't get hungry because I've done it for so long and if I ate three meals a day my body wouldnt understand what was happening

    I suppose if your body is used to it and it works for you- you literally have nothing to eat at all in the day though?

    Yeah prob right, especially if your body was used to one meal a day and all the running you were doing - hopefully getting back into your norm eating and the DVD and yoga, running and netball will all shift it soon for you :-)

    It better had its really annoying! I had shifting 3lb after a few days then went back up now I'm back down 1lb net. I'm hoping it's just because my muscle is returning fairly quickly so In the next few weeks I'll hopefully see weight loss

    I'm bad for skipping meals but usually I graze through the morning, have a lunch and don't eat an evening meal.

    Don't think I'd be good on one meal a day. I'd go all shaky xx

    When I was younger I didn't tend to eat breakfast and not much for dinner as you couldn't get much in my dinner money, but always had a proper cooked tea and afters, plus supper so ate a fair bit.
    There's no way I could do 1 500 calorie meal a day though. Im up at 630 - 7 in the morning and don't get back in until 7, then I'd have to cook so not eat until 8. I'm in an office all day so don't need the calories per se but it can be stressful and its fast paced so you need something to keep you going.

    Becci are you weighing yourself at the same time of the day each time?
    Your weight does fluctuate throughout the day.
    Otherwise you are going in the right direction so keep it up!

    Becci - try measuring your vital stats and then each week measure them as its the inch loss that counts- as you say muscle weighs more so it could be that you are losing inches but the fat turning to muscle- that way you will have real motivation :-)

    Took ages to soak all my nails off this morning. All my nails were going discoloured underneath so thought I'd have a breather as never not had them on for years.

    LO got every toy out so told him to tidy up. After 10 times of telling him I just started doing it myself, OH watching something on telly and because he couldn't hear it he through something across the room and smashed it whilst shouting.

    If he'd of been watching LO in the first place or told him to tidy up then I wouldn't of had to.

    LO and I come in the bedroom out the way. I'm having a little cry cus I'm peed off

    Men just don't think sometimes mmw2b .. Maybes try just going out for a walk on your own and tell your oh you want it today when you get back that way you get some you time?

    Think I'll have to Michelle but it's my weight I'm bothered about I think even if I still look toned I'll know that I was always a certain weight and now I'm more - it's disheartening

    You are doing so well though becci- weight takes longer to come off than it does go on- just have to have patience :-) was just thinking that if you found see the inch loss it Woukd make you realise that the exercise is working! I'm sure I heard done where that it can take 10 days to see results anyway- hopefully but mid week you will see a bigger improvement :-) xx

    Evening all.

    Just had a neck massage from my daughter and she said it felt swollen and it does! Will see how it is tomorrow before getting a gp appointment, it's never been the same since I had to hold a woman's leg in theatre one night. Even after my massage it felt better but kept having small twinges

    That sounds nasty gf see how it goes for the next few days.. Could be spondylosis which is the narrowing of the nerve canal in the neck causing discomfort

    At mums for our Sunday dinner as usual. Uncle walked in as mum asked me if I wanted to get my own potato as she struggles to guess on grams and things so I said yeah that's fine so uncle started being a wise crack as per and mum said its some fad diet she's on where she has to count what she's eating.

    I ignored them then sat to the table and uncle tried to focus all conversation on my diet and why etc. told him I didn't want to talk about it so he started taking the pi*s.

    Wish theyd all just get stuffed.
    Today can be one of my 500 calories days now. Dogs will have got a decent portion of tea from what I left when I left the table.

    Then mum comes through and notices I'm in tears and said I didn't realise it was upsetting you this much.

    Well yes mum I've put on a stone in 5 months that doesn't look like it's shifting I was peak fitness and happy with my body before the crash I'm getting married in 9 months and you all think it appropriate to mock.

    I think it'll be nice to have your sil do it with you tbh mmw2b :) it gives you someone to compete with and keep you spurred on :)

    You'll get comfort out of you both being tested to your limits :)

    I think it helps because you can both coach each other too if you think the other isn't performing the exercises quite right :) like the side lunge I don't know if I push my bum back properly or whether I push forward in my knees ... It would be nice for someone to say yes you're doing it right or no you need to push back more
