I am jumping back from today starting with a fast day :) Hopfully the last time I will jump back into any way of eating.

FD Today, I missed my last once and only did 1 last week. I am quite excited about these days, just gives me a sense of strength :) Good luck to all

5:2 Week 2 FD #3 Total -1kg I am alive & not hungry, in fact when dinner came around and I had my 2nd 250cal meal I didn't want to eat it, just didn't feel the need. Chocolate/sweet cravings are gone, could be because I have incorporated 1 dark chocolate square per day in my diet. Found that on my regular days I am not as…

2 sleeps until my fast day, I can't wait. The end of my fast days makes me feel so refreshed & also the scale the day after is such a better number than the day before. Lost 1kg this week, so happy Good luck to all

I hope this week goes well for everyone. I am down about 1kg this week, I am surprised. I kind of want another fast day - I am feeling addicted to it hahahah, but I am planning it for Thursday. Working next 3 days so I hope I don't go over my calories which is usually what happens after work :s Good luck to all!!

Don't get too upset by their reaction. If you feel you can continue reaching your goals and find this lifestyle sustainable then you are a winner :) Keep on keepin' on

I hope she is green with envy!! Finished my 2nd fast of the week and feeling alright. *VENT* Sometimes I really dislike this forum. People can be extremely rude and defensive. I feel like if I speak in the forum (not the groups, the people in them seem to be so lovely) I will get beaten up. Does anyone else feel like this?

Wow. I did say probably (and yes, for ME it was bad) I don't understand this defensiveness, I am only recalling my own experience and not telling OP to quit. I even said I still drink it.

Quitting diet soda has stopped 90% of my stomach problems - so yeah, it is probably bad, but it did not stop my weight loss, it actually helped me a lot when I wanted to eat unnecessarily or have something sweet. I use to drink diet sodas daily (for like 10 years), but have recently quit (by accident). I started drinking…

5:2 is so much easier than I thought. Today is another fast day and it seems to just cruise on by. Really happy to find something that I could see myself doing forever Well done on your losses <3

Restricting my calories daily was just not working this time around and felt I was letting myself down in this group (I still show up to each weigh in and have them written in my calendar, I will not quit!), but I started 5:2 and feel like I have finally found a routine that works for me. It is a great feeling seeing…

I was hoping this would happen as I know I won't reach my goal this time around

Ate probably about 1900-2000 calories today, I did not log the last 300+ as it was some of my partners take-aways. I feel a bit freaked out by this because I think the scale will just jump up again. I will do my 2nd fast tomorrow as it is my day off (I tend to eat lee on my non-working days)

Glad I am not the only one! Today is a feast day! Hooray!

3:30am, how can fasting for 1 day give me so much energy o.O. Stuck to my 500 cal, had something healthy then the rest were spent on licorice - whoops

Thanks everyone :) Today is my first FD and I plan to have a smoothie for lunch packed with blueberries, blackberries, boysenberries, spinach and banana & for dinner tuna, tomato & basil on toast with cauliflower, broccoli, lemon squeeze and parmesan as a side. Is it okay to split the 500 calories up? or is it best to have…

Made a decision to start 5:2 tomorrow for the first time ever with a FD, but still doing my research on it. Today I stayed at my regular calorie goal of 1400 and will keep that goal on the eat days as I do not trust myself to not calculate or eat more, I feel like 1400 is my safety net right now.

Yeah, when I get up and go to work I bring my lunch/snack which was pre logged the day before because I have no time to make it in morning and I eat it because if i don't it will go off in my locker, so it doesn't matter if those are pre logged because I am obligated to eat it or waste it. I sometimes prelog my dinner…

I mostly pre-log because I make my lunch and dinner the night before and I usually make it from scratch. I don't have enough time to cook in the morning and by the time I get home i am too tired/hungry right now to make good choices :(

Thanks everyone :smile: I stayed on track yesterday and even did some cardio I think it is a great idea to think of my calories as a bank account - totally going to do this :) I don't know if it is binging, but I will eat like a 250g block of chocolate at once - i am aware i do this, I have set some calories aside for…

Popcorn is totally great for those "I want crunchy goodness or I will eat a bag of crisps" times :) Such a lifesaver

I stayed within my calorie goals, ate a MASSIVE salad that I actually really enjoyed.

Thank you, I was eating 1200 back then, but added 200 more since I re-started. Today I seem to have stayed on track, but it is only 5:15pm. I know if I could keep on track 100% for a week or 2 I can do it for months beauce I don't want to break my streak, but starting is the hard part

Actually, it started when I joined a gym last year, I felt SO SO hungry after my gym session that I went home and ate and ate, the next day I would still feel so hungry. I quit the gym because I felt like I could not accurately calculate how much energy I burnt to eat it back or stay within my calorie goal I plan on…

I think it is mostly a lack of motivation. I can't seem to find any :/ I have recently cut down my diet soda intake, I use to have 1 or 2 600ml bottles a day, now it is 1 every week or so (I have replaced it with sparkling water) If I have calories for it, I will have like a cookie or something, I don't feel like I am…

I am struggling to find motivation.. My goal for today: Stay under 1400cal Do 30min pilates Drink 4x 750ml bottles of water

Add me if you like - that goes for anyone :D

Yummy!

Seasoned rice with shredded cabbage & carrot topped with baked sliced chicken schnitzel drizzeled with warm teriyaki sauce It was so delish
