Hi all, this time last week I was searching for motorhomes when I came across this site. Did you know that loads of motorhomers have used 5/2 and lost weight? Apparently how much stuff you put into your motorhome is crucial to its pay load, so folks are either going away without their picnic chairs or have lost a couple of stone using 5/2. Who knew?! Anyway I joined here and made a very public declaration of my weight and intention to tackle it. I also joined the motorhome forum but with mixed results, I titled my thread 'swinging newbies' cos we were swaying from one type of van to another, (note to self, think before you thread).
So first fast day last Monday, was actually really good, I didn't eat til the evening, had some homemade veggie soup and all was well with the world. Mmmn, this ease could have been because I was still full of cake from Sunday, surely it shouldn't be this easy?!
I 16/8 it tue and weds, felt ok, didn't go wild. Second fast Thursday, again survived on herbal tea til evening meal, all good, although my husband regreted offering me a magnum icecream, choice words were snapped his way!
So weigh in today, I'm 4 whole pounds down.. (Trumpets please!) I'm sure it won't always be like this but from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ALL, having this forum has been a massive support.
I'm off to Spain for 5 days next week for a friends birthday, I hope to fast the day before and after and try and 16/8 whilst away, of course it could all go horribly wrong and I will end up in the gutter at 3am after way too much barcardi, face down in a badly stuffed kebab!!
