The FastDay Forum

I was a bit dissappointed seeing my scales are going a bit higher for the last few days,,but after going through the forums and suggestions regarding ot loosing weight, feeling kind of ok.i reduced 3 kg after starting 5:2 2 weeks back, but seems to be increasing around 700 gms after that.Today is my fast day,I think I must be more strict with my calorie intake ....Please post some pep up advices

I moved your post to its own thread as I think you'll get more replies that way!

Hi drbin
Well the good thing is you've spotted the weight going back up & want to do something about it.
When are you wanting to be more strict - is it with your fast days or your normal days (I can't call them feast days, too tempting lol!)

What's the plan for today then - calorie free drinks until the evening meal ?

3 kg in 2 weeks! That's fantastic! Your weight will fluctuate depending on TOTM, salt intake, exercise, amount of food still in transit any number of reasons! No need to panic just yet, especially if you are doing everything you should be doing ie: up to 500 cal for 2 days a week and no more than TDEE for 5 days a week. I log my weight daily in the Libra app (android) trueweight is avail for i phones) and just watch the trend going down.

Dear friends....I was better seeing all your replies,, but happy today that i have reduced around 500 gms today.. today being a normal day..I am trying to control and eat,, but i have a party coming up this eve.But I have decided to keep my intake within my TDEE.Cheers!!!!

Remember to measure too- the scales can be a bit cruel sometimes but the measuring tape is your friend

yes Janeg....you are right...i keep a measuring tape in my clinic and daily measure.i have reduced 7cms now....
