    Fasting today, hate fasting when it's cold though.

    Vegetable soup for dinner. DH took black forest gateau out off freezer. That's cruel.

    Save 20 cals for oxo cube in hot water. Perfect for cold evenings :beer:

    Well, I have had 2 down days so looking forward to a nice up day today!
  • I've been a bit under the weather the last few weeks so skipped my first fast day this week, and didn't stick to my fast days properly last week either.
    I'm back on it again today but hope my lapse hasn't undone the benefits of my previous fast days. I'm saving all my calories today for dinner and will cook some sort of egg in tomato sauce combination (trying to get through what needs using up) and hoping the Zoodle Chef I've ordered arrives soon!

    Fast day yesterday - I keep my calories for my evening meal, usually Sardines on Toast with a sliver of cheese on top.
    I too find it harder in the cold weather. Weighed myself this morning & have stayed the same :( at least I havn't put anything on. I think it also gets a bit harder to shift the last few pounds when you are near your 'proper' weight. I'll carry on though even if its just ounces!!
    Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

    Another fasting day. Two small slices of bread, two slices of wafer thin ham. Lentil soup and toast for lunch. I'll probably have remaining soup and veg for dinner.

    I'm having the same problem silvasava.. my BMI at the moment is normal, I'm not overweight, but I would like to be a bit slimer.. I didn't lose any weight this week either, despite doing the 2 fasting days.


    I'll keep trying, I'm not in any rush anyway, but I do wonder how easy it's gonna be to keep the weight down if I manage to lose it...
