No Julianna the mammogram wasn't painful just uncomfortable. But at least it's done now.
Your right AiriR no rush to lose it. This is the first holiday I've been on where I haven't stressed about gaining weight because I know I can fix it.
I am rather hungry now, I'm missing my 4 course holiday lunches with litres of wine!!

How good is that!!!

I'm in today, my mainteneering strategy is fast Monday with 16:8 Thursday - working so far

I'm in! Just up and its still dark here. Black coffee to start the day. Aiming for fluids all day til meal at night.

Good luck for a good fast day everyone. X

I'm in. I have a fairly quiet week so I'm doing Mon, Weds and Fri if I can. . Good luck everyone

I'm in too! Had a very nice weekend but I indulged too much . I'm also doing liquid fast until dinner time. Had green tea to start the morning and plan to keep busy through out the day. Goodluck to everyone!

Week 7, day 13.
Yup, for me also a liquid fast until dinner. The second time I try this. The first weeks I did breakfast (200 cal) and dinner (300 cal). I had a very hard time last Thursday when I tried saving everything for dinner for the first time. But still, it feels more like a 'real' fast. I decided to give it another try, to see if it gets easier. For now: HUNGRY!

I'm in too. Staying home today with a cold and an aching body after a day of "Lifedancing" saturday. Black coffee and green tea is my companions until 5 or 6 pm when we will have our small dinner. DH finally joined me and is also fasting Mondays and Thursday - good for him

I'm in today too!! Very happy weighed myself this morning and lost 4lbs last week. That's 9lbs lost in the 3 weeks I have been doing this, it really works.

I'm in, everyone. Things are still really difficult in my life at the moment. Wish I had more time to come on here to chat. x

I'm in, my usual start to the week

Sorry to hear that Doodle, hope things get easier for you x

I am in. Over 70 people rocked up to my house for my birthday party Saturday into Sunday. Do I need to confess my sins and results? No. I think not. Gentle exercise today with lovely espresso coffees, Go well everone.

Yes a rather extravagent weekend too : I am a Food tech teacher and tend to bake even when not at school ! Gifting my cherry & almond muffins to everyone today so I don't eat them. .

Ready for my usual Monday fast...liquids until tonight, when I'm sure The Hairy Dieters will lend a hand.


Enjoy your fasts everyone. x

I wish I could be in today but I'm having to take strong painkillers for my back which require me to eat . Is it okay to change your fasting days depending on your situation? Or is it best to do the same days every week?

Daydreamer that's the beauty of 5:2 it fits around you. I often change my days. Hope your back gets better soon x
