I forgot to mention one important part of the 4-day win concept - rewards! Find a small reward to give yourself when you accomplish your daily goal, then a larger reward when you do it for four days. Obviously, pick something other than food. For example, I tend to allow myself a couple of sessions of a Facebook. game for…

Hi Luvsunshine I hit a hungry time around 3 o'clock. I find that a 15-minute walk helps. And believe it or not, an aerobics class at about 7 pm helps. On my first two fasts, I couldn't sleep well at all. But that went away.

Closing in on my last (2nd) fast day of the week. I'm about to have dinner and I'm starting to dream about the treats I'll have tomorrow. Scones. Frozen yogurt. Pizza Maybe a frappachino.

I need to record my food on the three feast week days. I'm not committing to this on the weekends, LOL. I'll save that form the next "fixit" challenge.

I've been on 5:2 for about 6 weeks and have lost about 5 pounds. I actually was down 7, but have gained weight back after three weeks of on and off travel. I'm not sure why because I stuck with the program, but it's hard to keep a grip on calories when you eat out a lot. I also think the problem was that I compressed my…
