Intro from me
03 Mar 2013, 20:24
Hi everyone, just joined here after seeing a few FB friends mention the fasting diet. Did a bit of research and ended up here. Done Slimming World several times but always fail after the 2 or 3 stone mark because its so boring having to watch what goes in your mouth day in, day out. Thats why I think this way of eating is going to be good for me so I'm just at the planning stage, I want to have some soups and meals in mind for fasting days so that it makes life easier.

Havent weighed myself for several years but will probably do that monthly at Tesco, if they still have the scales. Have about 7 stone or maybe more to lose so this is going to be long term.

Hi sundance and welcome

You're right...watching what you eat every day forever is only possible for people who aren't too fussed about food...and they probably don't need to lose weight anyway!

This diet is so different that I can't see any reason why one could not carry on indefinitely.

We have just had our first monthly weigh in so you will starting at exactly the right time to join in next month. I really think monthly weighing is best as the natural variation is so great that more frequent weighing can be disappointing.

Good luck
