Monday 8th April weigh in.

Thanks Tegan, don't know how long I can resist! If I don't succumb now, will I at the NEC tonight? Not at my strongest today................

glass, I've been on the 5:2 diet for just over a week (thought I had to stick to the 5:2 thread to show progress )!
Anyhow, I do seem to have lost about 2lb 12oz in that time (weighing after fasting day). I've had 3 fast days now, and have to say that it is getting easier. I'm trying so hard not to get greedy on ordinary days.....

Whaaaaat? That's amazing Marelli I didn't lose that in a month when I did it ...and I was strict

Grannylin, the thing is, I keep weighing myself every day, and I know that perhaps I shouldn't! So - if I weigh myself on an ordinary day I'm more or less what I was when I started, then after a fasting day, I'm the lower weight. Did you stay with the 5:2 Diet?

marelli brilliant, its done the trick moved those lbs.

This week 2lb .8

I've just eaten a rather large Lamb Jeera Masala......with naan! And a poppadum! Next fast day is Tuesday. I'll give it a month and see how it goes!

Seems to be working, keep with it. Next Saturday wont be a fast day will it

I'm having a fourth fast day today - wanted to give myself a flying start! i have just demolished a pan of spiced butternut squash soup. It makes me feel full.

I've had homemade tomato soup. Oh! And half a small baguette!

I dont think the 5:2 would be any good for me, I have to eat to lose weight. When I had problems with my gall bladder the Consultant restricted my diet to only vegetables no fat, no meat, only veg for 12 months and I stuck to it worried that I would suffer with the terrible pain.

I went back and was weighed and I had not lost 1 oz and the Consultant said that was because I went into starvation mode and I would not lose anything its the way my body works. When I worked I would have breakfast then not eat until 9pm and I gained weight, but if I eat at regular intervals it seems to kick my metabolism in.

No good for me have t eat small reg meals if I don't get dreadful I b s and indigestion! My lovely gp suggested the 5 2 plan him and his wife were doing it he meant it kindly as is hard to watch diet all time.
