Hi Nursebean and everyone.

Would love to join this challenge. Have been off the wagon for the last 6 months but life is getting back on track and its time to get back in the saddle (nice mixed metaphor! ) was already planning to do 4/3 so this will be a great fit.

Come on no 20, I wonder who it will be

That looks good to me Buddy Bean!

Hi there bean.
One small question, could I have more cals on fast days if ADFing?

Hi Oatesy. Well, in theory you should really stick to 500 cals but I'm sure we can let you have up to 600 if you find it difficult!

@nursebean what an excellent idea! There will be some serious weight lost this month...more people on the fast day threads too. Interesting how some people think it is way harder thn 5:2, but when you do ADF (well 4:3 in my case cos I like routine of certain days fasting) it gets you into a flow that I find way easier than 5:2. In fact I find only restricting my cals 2 days a week feels glutinous good luck everyone, I hope (apart from skinny jeans) you will report your successes here in weight loss as inspiration.
ps welcome back @Pilchards

Wishing you April DODOs a Happy Easter and a successful April DODOing. Cheering from the sidelines ...

I thought we'd found our No. 20 for a minute...doh!

Me! Me ! Pick me for number 20! please
Had an encounter with the scales , the first since November
Well, I've been living a strange life since Deecmber and it,'s taken a 2.5 kg toll and too many mm to the waist.
Things are simpler now, and, apart from packing up to GO HOME ( I may have mentioned this? ) I can get stuck into DODO and give myself the wet fish treatment.
And, I also have time to exercise, but maybe not the inclination...
starting now even though i have just made rosemary and rock salt focaccia .
