Well. not happy at all. Did my official weigh-in this morning only the find the 2lb which had disappeared up to yesterday morning has miraculously reappeared!

No explanation for it either as I've carried on counting the calories over the weekend.

Oh well. It was supposed to be a fasting day today but so far I've had my porridge this morning and just had one of the go ahead yoghurt bars with my coffee.

Think I'll calorie count instead today.

I've had that. I got on the scales last weekend to see 11stone then by midweek it was back up to 11stone 2lbs. Feels poo.

I fasted yesterday. Today I've hardly felt hungry at all. I had breakfast lunch and dinner but I've not eaten a massive amount.

I've just got a new job too, started yesterday, training to be a bus driver. And I've found that while I'm out on the road with the two other lads I'm so busy either talking/listening to the instructor or driving that I've not had time to get hungry. It's far better than my last job because I was just sat in front of the computer for 8 hours and your mind can't half wander in that situation whereas there's far too much to concentrate on in this job.

I'm off to the gym tomorrow too for the first time in nearly 2 weeks, so I'll see how I feel I might have another fast tomorrow aswell.

I've only lost 3lb this month but at least it's going down. I'm eating too much rubbish on the weekends and need to snap myself out of fat man mode! On the plus side I've started exercising so this should help.

Hi Everyone!

I've just finished my first week and and am amazed to have lost 3 1/2 lbs :T I guess it's because it's the first week and I won't be so lucky in week 2.

I'm liking the homemade pot noodle idea and having curry on fast days as I find I can't eat as much if the food is really hot and spicy.

Can I ask, is it ok to drink the odd glass of diet coke on fasting days? as i find tea, fruit tea and water getting a bit monotonous now.

There really are few rules. Diet coke isn't good for you. If a glass keeps you on the straight and narrow than it is probably worth it. Just don't think it is interchangeable with water.

Thanks Daedalus,

I know it's bad for me and it's not very often i get the urge to drink it....thankfully! I know some people that don't drink anything else. It's just yesterday when I was fasting, I fancied something sweet to drink with no calories as had used up my allowance, I did feel guilty though

Todays 'menu' :

Breakfast - 1 piece of toast (69 cals)

Lunch - can of soup (190 cals)

Tea - omelette with tomatoes and ham will use up the rest of my cals for the day.


Hope that's ok!

The odd one is not as bad a constant stream of it, I drink a can or bottle of pesi max or coke zero once a month or so.
