Finally hit the nail on the head this morning and decided to give this 5:2 diet malarkey a go! Spoke to the husband about it and he said "as long as it doesn't cost a butt load, go ahead!" how's that for encouragement! lol,

So...Planning as it stands atm is, Mondays and Thursdays are going to be my fasting days, so avoid me like a rabid dog then as u may get eaten! :evilgrin: nah, just going to need a swift kick up the harris when i inevitably waver, but hopefully whinging my face off on here will help that little bit!

This is going to be a short blog today as I now have no idea what to say! lol, feel free to wave hello at me, a friendly face is always lovely to see!

So I am not used to writing a blog. I have started the diet about 3 or 4 weeks ago, failed a few times but definitely getting better at fasting. The first time I didn't manage the whole day. I just wish to get to the point as you don't think about it as a diet anymore and it's just part of your weekly routine. :clover:

and now it is 2 months since I last posted my weight- I do feel bad about it but am glad to say that I am back on track and about a pound less than in august- not much but it could have been so much worse!!! We have had visitors, stomach bugs etc and we are still here- last week we tried the 4:3 and doing the same this week as the results were great and I am hoping for similar this week.
Next week we are off for a week but have already planned our fast days so it all fits in- target till end of january- which will be a year of doing 5:2- to loose another stone. A present to myself!!!
can't wait to update the progress tracker on saturday!!!

Weight 8st 8.25

Yaaaaah its coming off quickly. I know I shouldn't over celebrate as this is purely due to a fast day yesterday and I expect to go up tomorrow. Anyway, I went nearer 570 cals yesterday but I didn't run. I was so glad I didn't as I was quite foggy yesterday. However, I want to point out that no sugar lows and today I defo feel no sugar lows. I want to use my blog even myself for when I stagnate/fall off the wagon to motivate me to get back up and at it and keep going. One thing that really has motivated me is that weight loss predictor. The fact that in 6 weeks time I will be nearly at my goal seems so manageable. The fact that I am losing weight quicker is even more motivating. I am fairly confident I will hit 8st 5/6lbs next week.

So today I will be going for dinner so I have planned what I am going to have so it isn't an all out disaster:

7am-1pm: coffee milk,
1pm: 2slices cheddar cheese, salami, quark 50g (350 cals)
4pm: raisons & 20g quark (100cals)
6pm: larb...
