I will give it more time, thank you TeresaB1979 :) It has made me feel much better hearing how you and other MFPs have had successful results on 5:2, and hearing that the worst you have experienced is maintaining weight is fabulous!! I want to thank everyone who has commented for really good advice, and also for not making…

momzeee, that sounds a better way of weighing definitely. I am rather silly jumping on the scales 4 days into a diet, after 2 days of fast food, very little water intake and expecting to see anything other than a gain!! I do feel slimmer in myself, maybe I should let my clothes show me the results :)

JAT74, I was aiming for low carb when I was calorie counting, and was doing well! I suppose the overload of carbs these past 2 days really haven't helped at all. My body has probably gone into carb overdose haha. The alleged health advantages of the 5:2 really appealed also, I need to give it a go and take it abit more…

Thank you everyone for all your advice. It all makes so much sense :) I was very silly to dive into a KFC on a non-fast day, and I will not be doing that again. I am going to be really strict with myself, and if I feel like fast food make my own with Quorn and my own ingredients. My fast day was also around 36 hours I…

Thank you :) I have drank no extra water on these bad days, in fact I've drank very little water! My system will need a good flushing with water now, and I think the horror of a 6lb gain has put me off fast food for life. After calorie counting, I really fancied some bad food. Lesson learned...x

You seem to be eating far too little for your size, I eat that around that amount of calories and I'm 5ft 7, around 152lbs and managing to lose steadily (since I started watching my intake again a fortnight ago!). I haven't done any extra exercise other than my usual pottering about. As said, maybe weigh in less often. And…

christina-sabb....stunning!

playful :)

I will check that out! Thank you :)

Must be water loss...if she hadn't changed her eating habits then 6lbs seems impossible to me. I think I have always believed it is fat that puts the weight on so the guilt of adding butter to everything or not trimming fat off meat has been intense. The guilt has been my only issue really...I haven't craved bread, pasta…

Ha yes, I hope so! I put the weight on. Not hormones, age, under active thyroid or any of the other excuses I could kid myself with. Eating the same portion sizes as my 15stone boyfriend, takeaways and share-size bars of Galaxy put the lard on. I will lose it, if I do it properly. If I don't, I haven't done it right.

Advice taken :) I'm an impatient, dieter newbie. 1st time weight gain so I think I am definitely trying to rush the whole process.

I haven't but great advice. It's hard to guesstimate everything :)

Its the first time I have ever heard of this Dr.... so I wasn't sure whether he is a trust-worthy source or a professional helping push supplement sales for a wage... The only diet pill I have ever seen work for people are T5's, but they sound to have horrific effects on the body and make you high apparently.

Please keep me posted, I am curious. And if they work, without dodgy side effects I will give them a try!

A girl on my Facebook has said she has lost 6lbs in 1 week without changing eating habits. Maybe they only work for a few people and I suppose the only real way of testing them is taking them when not calorie counting etc, or the nature of the weight loss could be confused... I'll stick with my diet choice for now, and…

I had my c-section in 2004...whilst still carrying baby weight the 'pouch' as I call it is more prominent. But when I was a tiny 8.5stone, i still had a mini pouch. I think if I did extreme stomach toning then it would all pull back in tightly, but as I don't...it's there no matter what weight but obviously more noticeable…

Haha. Indeed :)

Hang out :)

I understood exactly what OP meant, and I found some of the posts disturbing and the kind of jibes I presumed only people of school age would throw. So sad. After seeing some of the self-absorbent posts on here I'm very tempted to start a thread titled 'Get over yourselves' and see how many of them would post how…

For attempting wrestling moves on the staff :)

Erm....Teeth - Lady Gaga!

Being British...tom-ar-to. And Ca-ra-mel. :D Marmite- love or loathe?

Very glamorous picture!

I'd say the same...not counting first thing in the morning!

Abit too young for me :)

Hang out :)

I'd watch Metallica or Tenacious D :) If you could be a member of the opposite sex for a day, who would you choose?
