5:2 diet

ellay864

I find my fast days much easier now that I only have one meal in the evening. I don't feel I have to plan so much as with only one meal to worry about it's easy to fit in. I'll have chicken breast with veg, or fish. I could have a burger (proper butchers one, not packet) and feel like I'm treating myself but still be nicely in limits. Omelettes leave me loads of extra calories if I wanted to. Today I've only had around 350 and don't feel at all hungry - it's great

Well not a good weigh in this morning as seem to have gained another pound this week :eek:
I think it may be partially down to bread, which I seem to have had for breakfast and lunch on non fast days recently
Must confess that training has not been going very well or at all .

Or perhaps have hit the weight I should be

I've just popped on the scales to see a very welcome 10stone 4lbs so that's the 1lb I put back on plus another 2

Zmikeo, I cut right down on bread and I have noticed a difference. It's unusual for me because I really love my bread but I've only had 2 slices this week of wholegrain. I certainly feel less bloated anyway so I'd definitely recommend it.

Having said that, I watched Bake Off on tuesday and they were making bread on there and now that's exactly what I want to make! :rotfl:

Well, Ihave weighted myself this morning and I only lost 1lb. Nowhere near as impressive as OH's 4.5lb, but I suppose it is something...

I suppose with 9st 6lb at 168cm height I cannot expect much more? My OH says it is because I haven't got much to loose, but it still feels a bit deflating (I want to fit into my old pants!)

I have put on a pound and lost over an inch of my waist in the same week on this - stay the sames and little losses happen, don't count it as a setback..

You're almost at goal and a 1lb loss is a good one, so really, don't worry or feel deflated, you're still losing. You'll fit into those pants before you know it, listen to your OH, he knows what he's saying.:D

Thank you guys, feel better now. I am not that bothered about my weight, I just want to lose the waist (I have an apple shaped figure, any gain goes ONLY to waist) so thanks adouglasmhor:D

I need to measure myself too tomorrow morning then.

You may have read this before as I am very proud of her, but my GF wnet from a size 16 in jeans to an 8 and sometimes a 6 and only lost about a pound overall. weight is just one part of the picture so don't get hung up on it.

I'm an apple too, but the weight only goes to my...um ..girls. Not sure what exercises will help with that. Any suggestions?
