day 6. normal day today. just added up my calories & just a little under 2000 again. this is great. I have been able to use my calories & not have to worry like I did when I only had 1400odd to play around with. fast day tomorrow. have run today. 5miles in 57mins. was tough on the legs but shouldnt really have been as I ate well yesterday. also feel confident not using my calories earnt & the realisation that I dont actually need them. that it was all in my head. I can survive on 500 & will do tomorrow. will also weigh in first thing & make the first fast day of the week my weigh in day. think I will need to space my days throughout the week. maybe 2 days gap then 3 days gap. that way I should have enough energy to keep up my running. weighed today at 11.11.6lb. same as yesterday????? & I ate normally. that dont make sense. anyway, weigh day tomorrow then not again til the next week. I also plan not to count calories as having 2000 is loads if I dont hit the biscuit tin!

Great to read your blog, I'm just about to embark,must step up my exercise though, have back problem, hoping with less weight it will become easier Here goes x
Thanks lynz. Don't envy you with back pain. That's as bad as earache! Hope it's not a long term thing. Good luck when you take the plunge.
First weigh in today. Hip hip hooray!!!!! 2lb 10oz lost after 6 days & 2 fasts. Weight stayed the same over weekend even though I had wine, chocolate & 2 donuts?? Fast day 3. No running today but kept busy making curtains. Again hot chocolate was my best friend when hunger got noisy. 5.15pm & dinner in the oven. Quorn ready made lasagne & side salad will come in at under my 500 Inc the cups of tea & 2 hot chocolates. Woohoo. Another one over. No more longing for a chocolate ring donut. May have one for breakfast before I hit the gym or go for a swim. Think I'm gonna need a quick energy rush!

weds 10th. ate egg & chips for dinner & felt sick afterwards with really bloated & uncomfortable belly. eyuck. brought my 4th fast forward a day to today. 11th april. although woke up this morning & bloated belly all gone. sneaky peek on scales says 11.11.6. same as monday weight so that good. after the way my belly felt I thought Id be back to 12stone. anyways, fast day today & feeling good. took daughter shopping & resisted mcdonald. easy for me as I only eat the fish anyways. smell was awful when you not eating although I had about 10 small crispy fries which was enough. now 7.15 & dinner late as been out this afternoon. have got mushroom omelette & salad & now feeling a bit hungrier. so far so good. x
Hungry. I am so hungry today. It's 4.25 & dinner can't come round soon enough. Fast day 5. Day 13. Still feeling positive. Had a bit of a pig out yesterday so here I am on another fast day. Went to bed last night with windy, uncomfortable belly but had the best nights sleep for ages. Been to gym this morning & done 1hour on the cross trainer & felt fantastic when I finished. Bit of a lazy day at home which is why I've probably noticed the hunger. Having quorn meatballs with pasta so that should fill me up. Have decided to do fast every 3 days from now on. Weigh day Monday. Tomorrow
11.10.4lbs today!!!! Woohoo. Over a pound loss this week & I've had a couple of pig out days x
Fast day 6. Am doing today and Thursday as off to Manchester for anniversary and Molly seeing one direction, again!! Anniversary meal planned for Saturday and probably scrap food on way to Manchester Fri night. Fast day today fine. Feeling full from dinner. Quine shepherd's pie and finger roll. Qourn stuff a bit tasteless but bearable. Just got to keep my hands out of the biscuit tin tonight. And ran 3 miles this morning. X
Fast day 7. Made it!! Nearly over. Watching eastenders and spotted leftover whole nut choc but resisted the urge and settled for a hot choc. I know that one square will lead to scoffing the rest of the bar. Away tomorrow night and looking forward to big meal Saturday. Best thing is it will be a late lunch/afternoon meal so won't go to bed feeling stuffed. Another good day. X
4.78lbs lost now. Nearly 5lbs in less than 3 weeks!!! That's absolutely brilliant, especially after a weekend of Junky food. 8 fasts done now. X
Repair day 9. Gonna name it a repair day as overdid it with birthday buffet food on Tuesday for youngest birthday and felt rather bloated yesterday. Have run 6.5miles this morning. Fantastic run and felt great afterwards. Have had headache for a few days. Putting it down to the sun shining bright. Hungry today. More than usual but think headache had something to do with that. Fish cakes and curly fries for dinner and big glass of water before bed. Night x
