Thanks rosemary. Well I fast 3 days a week. That's how I keep my weight down. He eats much the same as I do, maybe a bit more , on my non fast days. The thing is, he eats the same amount every day. He does not eat a high amount one day and compensate with a much smaller amount the next day. He says he needs the larger…

I lost 18 kilos on the 5.2 plan. At the end it was harder to loose so I did 4.3. At around 60 kilos I wanted to maintain so I upped my 500 calories to 650 for those 3 days, and stuck to 1600 on non fast days. I was still loosing a bit, so I introduced a cheat meal on Saturdays. This has worked well for me. The only problem…

I have a von has digital.i got it on amazon. It's very reliable. Can't fault it!

I cheat every sat night and I eat loads. However I do 3 mini fasts of 650 calories every week. This works because I'm in maintenance. When I was in loosing mode I don't think cheating would have worked for me.

Do enjoy yourself and don't worry about calories. Just compensate the following week. I am in maintenance and I do this every week. I eat and drink anything I want in any amounts on Saturday evenings. Then on Mon we'd and Fri I stick to 650 calories. Tue,thus and sun are 1600 calories. I reckon I eat an extra 2000 calories…

I cheat and dont log every Saturday night with a big dinner or take away meal with desert and plenty of alcohol. The rest of the week I stick rigidly to my plan. In doing this my weight stays much the same. Yes maintenance rocks!

I have been in maintenance for a few months after loosing 18 kilos. My weight only fluctuates by one kilo now around 60 kilos which is great. But a few weeks ago I noticed that my boobs had suddenly shrink ed by a huge amount....and this week I notice my jaw line is now refined and a bit boney in a nice kind of way. And…

I have a BMR of 1200 and tdee of 1400. It took me 18 months to loose 18 kilos.... at first I concentrated on measurements and didn't weigh in for a few months. Then I accepted any small loss as a big achievement. A digital scale is good cos you can see tiny losses. Also don't weigh every week. 2 weeks is enough. Good luck!

I partially fast 3 days a week. 3 days I stick to 1600 calories and 1 day I cheat and don't track. I find this a nice balance. If I ate my tdee of 1400 every day I would feel very deprived. The 1st fast on Mondays is easy and the Wednesday fast is ok. Fridays fast is a bit hard but I'm looking forward to eating nice stuff…

Does this mean the last fat on my belly will disappear too at this point? God I hope so!

Yes I'd like the answer to that too. I'm not doing any exercise except this abs bar at home most days. And yet the boobs deflated despite no weight loss. I think the fat just moves around the body so that no part is way out of proportion to the rest?

Yea ok,very good, but most food here comes with a calorie count on the label. This is an E U legal requirement. This is not present in the U S ....?

A tiny drop of milk in tea and coffee. I have lost 19 kilos so not logging that worked out ok :)

I haven't been brave enough yet to go on the scales but fair play to those who have. I had 2 days of overeating. One day was very excessive and the next day not so bad. On Sunday I had 650 calories due to a hangover. On Monday I had 1000 calories. Today I had 650 calories. Tomorrow I will have 1200 calories and hopefully…

Hi all I ate loads on Xmas day. Yesterday I intended to fast but I was invited out for drinks, so I said forget the fast and again I ate plenty. Woke up today at 2pm with a terrible hangover. I said the day is half gone already so I will fast. And that's what I did. I ate 650 calories and I didn't feel hungry after the…

In the last month I have been having 1 cheat evening on Saturdays. This is because 1 I enjoy it, and 2 if I don't have it I loose more weight which isn't good as I'm trying to maintain. So in total I have 3 light days of 650 cals and 3 days of 1600 cals plus this cheat evening where I don't count. The cheat evening…

Don't know how to post a pic, sigh!

I have started a plan with Mon we'd and Fri at 650, Tue Thursday and sun at 1600, and Saturdays I don't count and have a big evening meal plus desert. I have been doing this for 3 weeks to maintain. It's working so far with the added sat meal. Prior to that I kept loosing.

I can never figure out my body type either. I am 5 ft 4 and 31-28-37 last time I checked. You all sound lovely :)

I'm 54 so count me in please. However I'm more into maintenance than loss now :)

Hi, when I accept a request I usually send a short message telling them about me a nd asking about them. Sometimes I get no reply, and sometimes we exchange a couple of short messenger which Peter out quickly. It's like we have nothing else to say to each other, ha!

Andy luv thanks and sorry for posting twice! I agree with you, I think it's water weight. It's good to get a second opinion. The thing is tho how much water weight can I tolerate before I freak! This week I put on half a kilo of water weight. My head tells me it's water but I'm so scared to eat more just in case it might…

1500 every day? I do 1500 for 4 days and 700 3 days just to maintain. I would love to be able to eat 1500 EVERY day!,

I have similar feelings. My goal was 62 kilos but when I upped the calories a little bit I put on a kilo straight away. That scared me so I reverted to a goal of 60 kilos. I am now 60.5 kilos and wondering what to do now. I eat 1500 calories 4 days a week and 700, 3 days. My height is 5 ft 4 and BMW is 22.9. I lost my 18…

Hi all, I am weighing 60.5 kilos now and my goal weight was/is 61 kilos. I don't mind going a bit lower but no higher than 62 kilos for sure. I am newish to maintenance so still experimenting. This was the first week my weight actually stayed exactly the same. Prior to this I would loose .3 kilos consistently so I upped my…

Hi all I am 133 lbs and 5 foot 4 inches. I am hovering around maintenance now. It's been a long awl slog from 78 kilos 18 months ago. I don't really want to loose much more as I am very happy now with how I look. I am 54 so the weight loss was slow but steady. Good luck!,
