Monday 8th April weigh 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

marelli brilliant, its done the trick moved those lbs.

This week 2lb .8

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?

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

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.....

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................

The slippery slope....don't go to the corner shop, Moved...!!

Good luck Tegan I am in danger of following you. Am at Ds's house and they have gone to the football. having a bad day for various reasons and so tempted to go to the corner shop and buy something comforting. Stop me someone!

I even hit the ice cream last night [haven't done that for a long time]. Spiralling out of control, eating wise I'm afraid. Start again today.

mrshat thank you you have dragged us out of our deficit, well done 1 1/5 lbs. Have a good weekend.

This week . 25lb

Sorry I'm so late - a manic week. I'm not sure I trust my scales as I have lost 1.5lbs this week and back to 13 stone! I am delighted, but not sure it is correct. However, I will monitor carefully and hopefully weight will continue to disappear!

It would make health club gyms more fun if they could have versions of those on each static bike - what an incentive to pedal faster!

I'd love them here!

i did wonder if they could be set up in the Bigg Market here but then could see in my mind eyes the revellers falling off and they would never get down to the undies

Thought you'd appreciate that, glass. Would be interesting to have those bikes in British cities!

That last total is incorrect here is the new but we are still in a minus..... what are we all going to do about that

This week - 1.25lb

anno that has had me in kinks, its great, worth all the effort

glamma I was sure I had replied to your weigh in but its vanished unless I did it in my sleep, you should not grumble about 1lb thats a good steady loss and over a year thats 52lb, thats almost 4 stone, I know you want it shifted for the wedding but a loss is a loss.
