Hello Mandymoo,
Good luck with it! I started last Monday so I'm only one week ahead of you.

First week has gone well, thank you - I have decided to fast on Mondays and Wednesdays which are both working days, so I am sitting next to my water bottle and have my mind on other things!
Hi Mandymoo! I am about to start fast day 2 of my first week. The first was tough but I am modifying my second day. How is it going? I see that you started two weeks ago?
I'm from East Sussex too!

Hi,
Well I have been quietly doing this for 4 weeks now, lost 5lbs in my first week but now things have slowed down alot. I have stopped weighing myself as I find this is not good for my motivation - nothing worse than sticking to 5.2, thinking you have done great and only lost 1/2lb or gained!! I think your clothes and looking in the mirror are good indictors if your shape is changing. Mesuring is a good idea too.
I agree that planning is the key, make sure you know what you are going to eat on your fast days - makes things alot easier!
Best of Luck.
