5:2 Diet (part II)

MallyGirl

Well the school holidays are over and I can get back on the plan.
I put on 4lbs over the full holiday period which really could have been much worse.
It is my first fast day today and I am struggling a little - I did sneak a tiny bit of cold roast beef from the fridge earlier but I will make up for it by having less at dinner. I am in the office tomorrow so I can be less tempted there - not that it is a fast day but I am also trying to be pretty good on the other 5 days.
I have just over a stone to go having lost just under a stone since 1st June.

Good afternoon

Now that I am settled into my new house I am starting my fast again.

Starting weight on 7th September 11:12

Todays weight 11:06

I haven't posted on here in a while, but I am still sticking to my fast days.

Still feeling thinner, although I haven't lost any weight in over a month now. But maybe I'm at the maintenance stage as I only weigh 9stone (I am rather short though).

My non fast days are a bit bad which makes me feel like I'm not sticking to the diet really well, but I'm just glad I haven't put any weight on as would normally happen when I go a bit lax on a diet.

Hi

What I would give to be your weight! I am quite short 5ft 3"


I will be happy if I get down to 10stone.

Only another 1 stone and 6lbs to go:(

I have just done 4 fasts, only eating dried muesli on my fast days, it's quite filling.

I am aiming for 11 stone but then I am 5'11" so it is all about what works for you.
My LBM during May half term where I weighed in at 13st4lb is thankfully just a horrible memory and I am now in the 11s. woo hoo!
11st8lb was my WW gold weight from a start of 14st8lb but that was 12 years ago and I had let things slide. That took me from a size 20 to a 14 bottom/12 top (I carry all my weight in my bottom, hips and thighs and have AAs up top).
I have got back into the 5:2 habit now, although my DH was not impressed with my roasted cherry tomato sauce on pasta the other day and had a real grump until I pointed him at an open packet of bacon in the fridge to liven his meal up. He needs to lose the weight too but has less opportunity to be good - I walk the dogs for 3 miles every morning and then disappear off at 6am to the forest with them on Sundays for an hour's dryland mushing. He manages one swim a week, if that.

Hi all!

Does anyone have any suggestions of good websites for tips, and apps to work out my calorie intake in the fasting days? I am just starting the 5 2 diet.

Many Thanks.

I've just started too. My fitness pal is a good app for working out calories. It will tell you off on fasting days (too few calories), but just ignore it.

Not sure about websites, I use a combination of low cal ready meals (to make life easier and reduce temptation, after a long day at work) and smaller portions of 'normal' healthy foods like porridge, stir fry and veg soups.

Hopefully someone will be along soon with more suggestions.

Thanks for your reply and suggestions jayII :T

I have downloaded the app and had a go! Looks ideal, might even use it every day! Made me chuckle that it tells you off! :eek::D

Ahoyhoy! Right, so I'm in. Decided last night. Am 12 hours in and I'm still alive! I don't feel thin yet. What's that about?

Anyway, so far, two cups of lemon and hot water. Them's good eatin'! I've decided on some fish and tomatoes for dinner.

113kg when I woke up. No idea what that is in sterling.

LET'S DO THIS THING!*
