5:2 diet

Pootle_3

Hellooooo.....

Has everyone given up for Christmas?

I haven't by the way, fasting today and will continue right up to nearer the day, then a brief break to enjoy myself, then back to it.

Hoping to not undo all the good work I have done so far :-)

Good luck - I will probably only do 1 fast over the period between Cristmas Eve and Jan the 2nd.

Nope! On my second fast today having done yesterday too. Not ideal to do 2 in a row but just were the best days this week.
I'll do next week too and then leave it until after the NY. Am considering having a dry Jan rather than 5:2 ing then.
Most people seem to be doing this as a way of losing weight. I'm very glad to get that side effect but my OH, who is skinny, and I are doing it mainly for the health benefits. No idea if the 5:2 is responsible but I have gone from being pre- diabetic to not. So very pleased about that.

Hi all fast day today and over the festive period will probably just do the Monday on both weeks.
Have had 4 lbs creep up on me, so have had to be a bit stricter with myself:D .

I'm on a fast day today .

Intending to keep to 2 days right up and through Christmas but I might drop one of them if the mulled wine is too tempting .

Fast day for me today too. I was another 1.5 lbs down after a stay the same of about 4 weeks when I weighed myself last week. Less than 2 lbs to my long awaited target weight.

Hi everybody, well I am still here and still fasting. Had a few half hearted weeks and managed to gain 3 lbs, so not happy about that, but it's no more than I deserve. I have to admit, that even though I was fasting properly before that, I failed to lose any weight at all and can only assume I was over-compensating on the non fast days. I definitely don't want to gain any more though and will try to stick to my fasts as much as possible for December -not quite sure how I'm going to work this around Xmas yet though.

Fast day for me today and ok so far, just had lots of fresh lemon and ginger tea up to now oh and 2 nuts:D

I've got to do 2 days back to back as I've got a works do on Weds and am going away at the weekend.

Today's fast has been fairly easy up to now - just had a few almonds. Looking forward to 1 sea bass fillet with some curried lentils after Star Trek is finished. How sad is that! Star Trek I mean!

I wasn't able to do a fast day last week but hopefully back to it tomorrow!
