    I lost 2.4 lbs this round. Today I complete fast day #2 at noon. If I can keep this up I will be at my goal weight by the end of the year and that is exciting to think about!

    Congrats - great work!

    I'm fasting today, just had green tea so far. I'm a little confused. Should i not eat all day and only have one meal for 500 calories? Will it affect my weightloss if i spread them throughout the day?

    It is up to you and depends what feels the easiest. The studies show that leaving the longest amount of time without eating is the most effective. So that would mean 1 meal a day, but the difference in weight loss is minimal to be honest and it is all about finding a way that you can do longterm. Just eating 1 meal is difficult, so don't worry about it too much. Find whatever works for you.

    Well done to all the losses! I'm hoping for a pound or more at the weekend!

    Thanks Lizz. I still haven't eaten yet, thought i'd leave it until i absolutely had to eat something. Just shows i eat according to the time, breakfast time, lunch-time etc rather than due to hunger.

    Me too! I'll find absolutely any excuse to eat. I've realised that on Fast Days if I cut out breakfast then I save on those extra calories that I don't really want. Unless I go to the gym, in which case I need them! So I've tried that today and just had a satsuma and coffee and I'll wait until I'm properly hungry to eat later. Want to be nice and skinny for my weigh in tomorrow!

    I weighed in this morning. I lost 5lb and 1inch off my waist, in my first week! So pleased:happy: I know it will slow down now but was a great motivation boost!
    Good luck to you Lizz

    Hi all,

    I'm having a fast day today and a friend decided she wanted to meet up - in itself not a problem. Then she suggested lunch at Wagamama which is one of my favourite places. Well, we went and I sat there and had nothing but sparkling mineral water!!! Feeling very smug right about now hehe. Just had to share it with you lovely people! x

    Yesterday was my first fast day and I stuck to 500 calories exactly!! I didnt have any breakfast.. for lunch I had a big bowl of porridge with raspberries and blueberries, a small apple in the afternoon and for tea I had veggie chilli with cauliflower rice! I was amazed how good a day it was!
