I have just had my second week weigh in and lost 3 lbs this time. My first week I lost 7 lbs but now realise that a lot of that was water. I am doing the 4:3 and feel OK on it. Still finding fast days difficult but manageable. I had a blow out on Mothers day at my daughters on Sunday and thought I may not loose anything this week. I had 3 course meal, chocolates, the lot! Still determined to stick with this diet as it was lovely to jump out of bed this morning and think I can eat! Maybe not loosing means eating too much on feast days? I did try not to go mad but just eat enough to make me feel satisfied most of the time. Did have a treat (or two) now and again.
I think I have been slowed down by misssing a few fasts by being away a fair bit lately, and not following the excercise plan I'd like, thanks to business and this awful weather. But if I can still lose slowly, I'm really happy
I have always said that I don't care too much what I weigh, as long as I look thin
The biggest and best things I have learnt on my journey so far are:
Low fat food isn't any better for you than 'normal' food, and is in many cases is worse.
I will NEVER go back to a diet club, which is something I had been considering.
Even though some fast days are a struggle I feel energised, alert and cleansed.
I feel much more confident in my clothes, some are definitely looser, and that's only going to get better.
I just need to remind myself of these facts when I have a 'wobble' moment
I didn't lose or gain last week and am trying hard not to get dispirited. Am in my 6th week & did fast #15 yesterday and so far total weight loss is still 5.8 kgs which I know is good ...but I always want more (weight off that is!).
I so desperately want to lose that first stone as there are about four more to follow. It's going to be a long haul and that's fine and good for health and I know I'm likely to keep it off in the long run and maintain doing 6:1 - that'll be the day!
I AM proud to announce that I can now fast quite happily without breakfast too -something I never ever thought would be possible. A small
It does work.
Keep at it everyone.
Oh and I've been fasting today and it was the first fast in 11 weeks that I really wanted to go out in my lunch break and buy a big hot pasty lol... but I didn't sat in the canteen smelling and looking at all the different foods and just drank my water.
I am so looking forward to my dinner after a 24 hour fast..

I have ordered the book, just re-watched the Horizon programme, and am very excited and also a little anxious/nervous about starting this w.o.e so it is really great to read your post Dancersmum!!
Will it work for me?
Will it really work by fasting for 2 out of 7 days?
Would you see faster weight loss by having 3 fasting days?
Is it best to do consecutive fast days or split them up, or does it really not seem to matter?
Is it ok to still exercise on the 5:2, perhaps rest on the fast days?
Being a serial yoyo dieter I know I will actually do fine on the fast days as some of my drastic attempts to diet in the past have meant that I've done the odd fast day and managed it fine...... only to cave in at bedtime and eat the fridge! I will easily (i hope) be able to do a fast day properly if I knew I could eat normally the next day..........
I currently have about 48lbs I'd like to lose on this path to healthy weight and healthy body overall. I would really like to lose as much as possible in the next 6-8 weeks as this is when I will be seeing my husband again! He's working away at the moment and so when I see him again, I want him to say 'wwwwoooooowwww'!!....... and then also be able to convince him to adopt the w.o.e too.
Have a great day! My first fast going well so far (lol, its only 10:30!! lol)
