I have thanked TheFrog already on the thread itself, but thanks again!

The "Your Ideal Weight in 1951" thread is just the sort of trivia etc that interests me and helps to keep me on track....

I am what would be called a very light frame... for those in the UK, my wedding ring is a size H and is now beginning to feel a little loose :), watch straps are a nightmare... as are bras.... can't get either one that goes quite small enough, and after 15 weeks of 5:2, my clothes sizes are now around a 10 - a bit loose on the waist though ok on the hips... but I am not tiny - I can still pinch much more than an inch ;) though I am not big anymore.... my BMI is now around 23

Having read through the thread, 1951 doesn't seem so hard at all, particularly as I get older ...

Shortly after posting the previous blog, we lost power, and 2 days later we are still without power and it will be at least another day before we are reconnected. Two large trees brought power lines down in two separate places not far from us. No work has yet started on removing the trees and repairing the lines because relatively few homes are affected, compared to many other areas of the city which have lost power.

We at least have gas hot water and a generator that can run the fridge. The main discomfort is a lack of heating, but we do have a log fire tonight which is lovely.

Anyway, my eating has suffered as a result!! I can blame being cold, to some extent, tho that is probably just an excuse for the extra eating in the evening. We have had home made pizzas 2 nights, as these can be cooked in the Weber. Very yum, very high calorie. (We have electric stove and oven inside.) I have also eaten out a few times, including coffee and cakes or similar. Oh well, I have enjoyed it all, although...

Morning all and it's tipping it down here, just what we need - more rain.

Had a good day yesterday, met up with pal and although I was worried that I was in for a ticking off, it turned out that she had fallen out with someone else and wanted reassurance that all would be well - I couldn't give it, they've been fighting on and off for years now!

Anyway, we had a coffee, lunch etc and I still came in under TDEE - Just.

Fasting today, more chickpea soup, this time I will add some fish to it I think, from the wine list? Fizzy water please!

I hope you all have a good Fasting day and fingers crossed for a good result tomorrow X

Day 2 ("feast")
I have decided I will be definitely doing 4:3 instead of 5:2 for now.
I am also going to try to blog at the end of each day to recap and will share my intake and observations.
As I suspected on my first up day I would feel too hungry when I first woke up to wait to have only one main evening meal.
My fiancé bought our favorite breakfast protein cookies (350) last night and he started eating his when we got home so I anticipated waking up to it all night. I regretted it though, not because I'm
Down on myself about not waiting for dinner but because it literally felt like a brick in my stomach and zapped my energy until noon. After so many years of forcing myself to bulk up on breakfast I'm so over it. I'm also having a bit of a volatile stomach (PMS) and it just didn't make me
Feel good.


However I'm Not going to rule out being able to make up days into one meal a day affairs. Based on today I did feel Less hungry for a whole workday then I thought I would. ...

I am losing weight at a very rapid pace: 1.5kg in 6 days!
That is beyond anything I was expecting, especially as I was only aiming to lose 2kg. I eat well on feed days but I am very careful not to over-compensate, so I don't reckon I eat more than 2000 calories.

My only problem is that I am exhausted. I keep falling asleep when I get home from work, then go to bed before 10pm every night and sleep right though until 6:30am. I feel so tired even when I wake up. Did I lose weight too fast? How did that even happen? I had been trying to shed those last few pounds for months without much luck.

I will post in the forum to see what people have to say about the tiredness issue.
