I'm in too. I usually do Tues and Friday but January has been different. This is only my 5th fast of the month. I may do 3 times a week for a few weeks.

Judithn, I feel for you. We are taking a Windjammer the first week of March for 6 nights plus a couple days in transit. I've been nervous about gaining. I went on one for two weeks several years back and gained over 10 lbs that I never lost. Hopefully 5:2 will let you lose it quickly. I see you managed to travel when the weather was moderate and came back for the second round of the Polar Vortex!

I'm planning on a big salad with some chicken in it later. Lots of low cal veg and a yogurt based dressing.

Don't worry@JM53, this is such an amazing and forgiving WOL.
I was on a 2 week African holiday and came back in early Dec. five pounds heavier (less food, less booze and more exercise than a cruise ). I managed to lose it plus another 4 pounds by my departure date Jan 17. And that included the whole holiday season in between .

The key, I think, is this forum which is reflected in another thread today. There is so much support and info that you will be right back on track when you get back.
I am sooo glad for a 500 cal, pina colada-free day. And you will be too.
So keep on, enjoy your holiday when it comes, and just come back here to repair the damage. And happy fast day today

Thanks for the support. I agree this forum is is very good. I had been off for a few weeks. I started checking in more lately and it motivated me to stop laying around watching TV and getting back into exercise videos. I also found a water aerobics class at a community center. I've been essentially the same weight for months now. Hopefully the extra activity and a couple extra fasts can get me losing again.
