I posted a note in February as I was unsure what my final goal should be. I have lost a total of 21lbs and 12 lbs since Feb posting. I'm presently 127.4 lbs and have set my final goal at 124 lbs, so another 3 lbs and I'll be maintaining with the aim of staying under 9stone.

Since I moved to California, my fasting average has only been once a week. I have stopped 16:8 and also I'm back on the carbs and not counting TDEE. As a consequence I have gained some weight back.

In many respects I'm a bit gutted, but then again I'm still in the green and this is supposed to be for life so I have to get used to ups and downs.

I fasted yesterday. Green smoothie in the morning and a small piece of guinea fowl breast for lunch with brussels. Didn't eat for 24 hours, then broke the fast with a glass of champagne on the flight. Not sure that was wise :shock:

Think I need to get back to it properly.

Today the day after my first fast I do not wish to undo what I achieved yesterday, however, this has not been a conscious decision and to be honest has just happened naturally which I know must sound bizarre. so porridge for breakfast this morning and a bean and lentil stew for tea with a few carrot sticks thrown in for a snacks.

I have already been able to identify that I eat out of habit and not...

Okay so I'm now on my 2nd fast day which is good? well the thought of it is!

However both my OH and I work from home and he is sat munching chocolate opposite me :cry: not that I actually want to eat chocolate, but I am quite hungry. I know the reason for this is because since starting 5:2 I have gone back to having low fat Greek yoghurt, honey with muesli on normal days for breakfast which I have not had for several months! So I now feel like I am missing a treat as opposed to just missing breakfast which would not normally bother me too much.

Anyway I have my face buried in here (and work of course :sarcastic: even I need a break lol) I'v had/having copious amounts of coffee and head phones on for distraction listening to the radio which incidentally half an hour ago they were also...
