Hi all! Restarter here, put on a stone since August and want to lose it by May, 16 weeks to do this and get my bikini body sorted! Have started a new year blog to keep track and have somewhere to ramble! Feel free to add me and I'll do my best to support you in your journey!

Can I ask, are you a size 14 now? You dont look it

Can you just not enlighten us? Why not?

Love it! Eating much better, drinking way more water and exercising the same! I have to say I would swap our usual rubbish summers for this any day!

Thanks everyone! :) Ms Leanne my wedding has been and gone! It was last November so I don't need to fit in to that dress any more but would be nice to know I could!

I have 2, I prefer pictures like most of you I like to know who I am talking to - but yet sometimes I do wonder if they are the real people?! Cynical I know! I change it when I feel like it, usually because I am bored of looking at myself! lol

Scaremongering? I havent heard anything, but even if I had I wouldnt give up soy, its much nicer than cows milk IMO - I dont drink lots of it I only have it on cereal but its done me no harm

Well done! You look great!

1lb a day is certainly a challenge! What's your daily intake going to be? And I presume you wont be eating any calories back that you gain from exercise? Good luck to you! I am going away in 13 days and I dont think I could manage to lose a pound a day! But then I like my food too much!

Thanks! I nearly didnt wear the dress to the wedding as I didnt feel comfortable but I didnt have anything else to wear because I left it too late! Glad I can see/feel the difference now though, certainly makes 5:2 all the more appealing!

Thanks I am pleased with my little victory! Am hoping I am going to feel as confident in 2 weeks when I slip on the swimsuit :/

You look fab!! I did the same this morning with a dress i wore to my friends wedding a couple of month ago and am very happy!

I did it on Sunday in the scorching heat of London - my advice WATER! Drink loads of it if its hot where you are! I have 2 pieces of toast before I ran on Sunday and that was all.

^^^^ THIS ^^^^ I said exactly the same thing about selling you juicers and I wonder how many people jumped on the bandwagon yesterday? Personally I know there is no way I could just live on "juice" but essentially it seemed to be just blended veg so why not just eat the veg?

If you dont eat out regularly then I would say just enjoy what ever you like from the menu. You can always compensate the rest of the week by choosing wisely and perhaps a little more exercise. Going out is supposed to be fun not fearful!

7th fast day today and I am loving it! I have a blog if you want to follow it and feel free to add me as a friend, I have an open diary :)

Oooh I love mini milks and I am defo going to try the banana thing - do they go black in the freezer? Is that a really stupid question?! If you are feeling like you need a chocolate hit then I totally recommend the Müllerlight Desserts they are 99cals each and the Mischievous Milk Chocolate Dessert is my fav! They also…

Cheeeeeeeeeeeese my fav! lol I find that BBC Good Food have some fab low cal recipes its where most of my inspiration comes from :)

Nice idea :) For single food items I love to munch on dutch crisp breads they're like 30cals per bread and yummy with a little bit of marmite on top :)

I personally dont but lots of people do.... you might find some answers here http://www.52fastdiet.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5919

I agree this hot weather is certainly helping me not want to go overboard with my eating! I did my 6th fast day yesterday and it felt like the easiest one so far!

I find doing something like running or an exercise class straight from work is best for me, it gives me a boost of energy early in the evening

Let me know how you get on with them, I have been using mine for 4 weeks now and I haven't noticed anything different really.... I am a bit disappointed with them, i only wear them for exercise though and from what I can tell you're supposed to wear them all the time?

LOL this!! ^^^ I am so glad I am not the only one - or spread straight on to cheese for an extra treat!

If you're worried about what people think, then is a tattoo on show really the best thing for you? I have quite a lot and most of them are on show most of the time, I am a professional person and I have never been refused a job or a position because of them, maybe thats because I dont care if people think their trashy and…

Oh no I think you have me all wrong! I love this WoE!! I was just really miffed that one set of scales in my house makes me 7lbs heavier than another set! But c'est la vie, I am losing because the measurements tell me so! I am sticking with this, tomorrow is my 5th fast day and I am embracing the hunger now, I am thinking…

Had a sh!tty week this week.... have lost weight and inches though not as much as I wanted - this was mainly because I changed my scales. How is it possible that one set of scales are 7lbs different to another? I would love to keep weighing myself on the light scales but I fear thats just cheating so I'll stick with the…

Hi! I have just invested in a bike, I am a MTBer so tend to go out for longer rides on Sundays to the forest - generally I'll have a normal breakfast (scrambled eggs on toast or similar) then spend hours out on the bike - we usually come home and have something hearty like a stew or a roast dinner. As for drinks I dont…
