I seem to have been being reasonably good since I got back from my holiday but going up and down by a pound and not getting back into the swing of it.

Had a rotten day today - nothing of any interest but rain and nothing to do and feeling low. Decided to say Fxxk it and ate what I liked. Still not breakfast or alcohol but had crispy duck for lunch then egg and chips, chocolate pudding and ice-cream for dinner. I had toad-in-the-hole for dinner last night and feel as though I have completely lost the plot. Tomorrow is a fast day after which I am going to start using My Fitness Pal again and trying to make sure I stay more or less within my TDEE when not fasting. Right here we go again.

Bought some snazzy new scales, the kind that give you BMI plus weight plus how hydrated I am. I will try them out at my next weigh in on Friday. My old and trusty step on, step off scales weren't so accurate and I am sure that I very slightly lowered the weight given in the past as I couldn't see it very well!
A bit of a dilemma today. Decided to change my fast days this week to Tuesday and Thursday as I am experimenting with my days. A lot for me depends on what I am doing and if I am out in the evening for a meal. When I meet friends this is usually what I do (go out for a meal that is) and I prefer to save my 500 cals for when I am home to cook.
Right, I best get ready for work.

Hello Everyone!

I officially started the 5:2 diet on the 4th February 2013 and wanted to give a progress report now I have the first full month of this WOE under my belt!

First a bit about me: I'm 31, have never been a yo-yo dieter or badly overweight, but like so many of us I have just very slowly put on weight...only about a pound or so a year, but after 10 years it all really adds up! I also had my first baby in April last year who is now nearly one year old. I managed to shift the majority of the baby weight quite easily but was been stuck on a plateau for the last 6 months at around 11st2, which for my height of 5ft6 pushed me into the overweight category and left me uncomfortable wedged into my pre-pregnancy clothes.

I went back to work in January this year after maternity leave, and just being away from home and the temptation of constant snacking allowed me to drop a few pounds over January to 10st12. Then I decided it was time to start 5:2! My husband and our two best friends...

I have taken the advice given on here and decided to save most of my cals for my evening meal. Drank lots of tea and water plus a peach to tide me over. All in all a good day. Salmon with purple broccoli and asparagus for dinner :smile:

Im not going to weigh myself until after my 6th fast, That way I will notice a bigger loss (hopefully) :confused:
