One thing to keep you on 'track' when getting freaked by the water retention is the fact that your body is burning more calories at this time so keep on track and afterwards you are likely to have a true weight loss along with the water loss. Its also one of the reasons we ladies tend to crave 'carbs' when pre menstrual.…

I have been following a 4:3 IF plan since August 9th. ( 3 days 5-600 cals or less- 4 days 1600-2000 cals approx) i have lost 18lbs. For the first time in many years I have found a way of reducing my overall weekly calorie intake in a way I find easy, motivating and healthy. Yes healthy. it is being done with the full…

An interesting read. I agree about the yoghurt, I always seem to lose when I have that. i would love to try the chia seeds will look out for them I have to admit I keep meaning to buy Quinoa, but never have & never tried it. Will add to my must try list. I'm afraid I hate salsa & not really fond of hummus either.

Showing a lb down so far, but my official WI is Tuesday...so we'll see. Trying to keep motivated during the weekend have walked today,

14lbs to one stone!

I'm on a JUDDD 'Down Day' today....(known to some as either a 'fast day' or a CR Calorie restricted day)..so will be under 500 cals for the 24hr period...so I am confident that today will be good. I shall be doing my usual slow walk (Joint problems & a long term injury to my ankle restrict me somewhat) and then get some…

Hi, I'm Jilly...and my CW is 242 & my ticker today is at 17lb lost. My scales are very basic & very British so weigh in Stones & lbs..so no 1/2lb declarations for me..so if i've not lost a whole pound or more it just does not register...LOL...I reckon that every Winter over the last 5 or 6 years I have regained the weight…

Hi all I'm in for this, I spend most of each New Year to Spring losing the popunds I've put on over the Holiday period, which is so crazy as its only really a couple of days not a month!! If we lose the 10lbs the real target has to be not to regain those 10lbs by January!!!

whilst long term this would be considered dangerous, as this lady is due to undergo the type of surgery she is, it is not unusual for Specialists to insist on a very rerstricted diet & severe weight loss..as there might be more potential danger to her life if she has the surgery whilst overweight than from the severity of…

Can I just comment that looking at your own diary for the last couple of days, you make great choices..BUT.....You don't eat enough calories for a woman, never mind a male..I hope your new friends will put you on the right track!

I'm 60..add me if you like!

You are not entirely wrong I believe that it the 'LeanGains' version. There are many different ways of achieving the same result.

Actually the cycle of lose & gain that you describe (yo-yo dieting) is incredibly unhealthy and a lot of research has shown that people who continue such a lifestyle for a number of years have an increased likelyhood of heart disease, reduced immune system, depression to name a few. I do not have the time to find links…

Bump to read later & also to tell some of my own experiences!!

Hi, I'm in Cornwall, not that far away! However I am a lot older than you, but feel free to add me if you wish. Good Luck, you'll enjoy it here!

Get into the habit of logging absolutely EVERYTHING you eat or drink..EVERY day into your diary & you will soon be making good choices. Most people also plan the following days food into their diary in advance to keep ourselves on the straight & narrow. The idea is to learn good habits which can only lead to a healthier…

Stunning, amazing, you are such an inspiration to all on here. You must be & should be so proud of yourself. Who cares about the 'underwear brigade' they need to get a life. You have shown it how it is for many of us..you are a brave woman, well done. What a journey!!

Hi, I too suffer with constipation if I don't get enough fibre. certainly 20gms is over the recommended daily intake. Looking at your daily diet i note you don't mention fruit which is a good source of soluble fibre (5 prunes soaked overnight in cold tea does the trick every time) as opposed to rice & wholegrain that is…

Each to their own I guess. Some people find it easier to share their weight loss journey with people they don't know rather than bore the pants off those they do!! LOL!!

I have just finished 2 weeks of 3 restricted calorie days per week. I started it because i had to fast before a medical procoedure and then heard about the Horizon programme. as i had found it relatively easy to go 'cold Turkey' on clear fluids only for 36hrs it seemed a shame to waste it. I eat between 5-600 cals on my…

I had to have 2 low consumption days plus a 24hr fast Mon-Thurs last week for medical reasons..... so having heard a review during the week of the TV programme on the 5:2 way of life I have decided to give it a go. I actually found the 24hr fast nothing like as bad as I thought it was going to be...so I'm thinking 50-600…

Its irrelevant really because you have no way of knowing what nutrients your body would have taken up, for sure the sugar from the alcohol would be absorbed very quickly. Just forget it & move on!

A detox diet will often be 3 fruit only days. However the higher sugar fruits are usually advised to be avoided ie Bananas. There is nothing wrong with eating fruit..and people are far too quick to knock it. As part of a balanced diet it is an excellent source of vitamins & fibre. A fruit only day would not overburden your…
