The FastDay Forum

Well it's official, I put on 5lbs on my hols

I came back last Sunday and weighed, but thought I would give it this week to "settle", but alas, the truth was staring at me on the scales this morning

Ok, so, mind focused and off we go again.

To be fair I have not been dieting this week, lots of catching up with people and a work do, so no surprise that there was no change from last week.

Off to the gym now, and although I have a bbq tomorrow, back to fasting. Plan to do 4:3 for a bit to get me back into the swing, bring on Monday!!!!

Oh dear that's such a shame for you. Hope you had a good one though, it would have been a sin to have not fully enjoyed your holiday because you were thinking about food.

At least you know how to shift those lbs now, should go real quick

Oh bad luck but at least you know it won't take you long to lose that 5lb again.

I'm facing 5 days in New york and a 14 night all inclusive (stuff yourself buffet as my 10 year old son calls it) sunlounger holiday all within the next 2 months. Am rather concerned what the scales will shout at me on my return! This all follows a month of stagnant weight and fasting difficulties. So last week I started 4:3 (2 days 500 cals as always and 1 day of fasting all day but having a sensible family meal and not worrying too much if its a tad over 500 cals) to try to kick start things again and prepare for my hols.

Well it worked and I lost 4lb (since I last weighed 2 weeks ago) which in reality is only a 1lb loss as I had put on 3lb before that. Hence the need for a kick start!!

Easy on, easy off weight, don't worry about it.

By the way, a 5:2 barbecue is totally possible, I blogged it a while ago http://imcountingufoz.com/blog/52-barbecue-3043

Hi well its more important to have a good holiday, I must have gained about same as you earlier in year didn't weigh-in coz it felt I had, but fasted day after my return + careful all week so when I stepped on scales next week I was same as day went away ( bit of a mental cheat )
So my advice is just behave this week coz that's the joy of this woe its so flexible, good luck this week Sue

Thanks everyone, it's great to be back and have the support!!

And yes, it was a FAB holiday, two weeks of nothingness

Just had a quick workout at the gym, gosh that was hard work! LOL, now for coffee and some quiet time before OH gets back from golf!!!

Have a great weekend folks

Thought I'd pop in and say that I gained nine pounds on a two week cruise in May! It took me three weeks to almost lose them and then I had a ten day holiday in Germany! I came back from there, last Saturday, four pounds heavier than my lowest weight since starting this WOE in January. This morning I had lost five pounds, so all of my holiday regains have gone with a bonus of an extra pound!

All of this is to let you know that we now have the tools to get rid of holiday weight on our return - something which I would never have managed before -in all my years of yo-yo dieting. So, enjoy your holiday, however you want, and just get right back to 5:2 on your return!
