Double BS. Eating 1200 cals is eating at a deficit. And you want to add a two day fast as an extra deficit on top of that. 5:2 is meant to be calculated from a 'normal' number of cals per day (ie not restricted). The only calorie restriction comes into play on the two fast days because you're only eating 500 of the…

If you did 5:2 you would average more than 1000 cals per day over the 7 days. Does that answer your (repeated) question?

I've been here a week. Go look at my the diary if you want to see a hot mess of numbers. I think they averaged out though. This is the main reason why I only weigh once a week.

Hey! This eating sensibly and exercising thing works! W1: 135lbs W2: 132.8lbs I knew my pants were fitting better!

My father died from a cancer on his neck two years ago today. I was 30 at the time. It doesn't seem like that long ago.

How are you going to maintain that calorie deficit once you're off it? Are you planning to maintain your goal weight? Also, Slim Fast is full of sugar and other such nastiness. Why not work on finding a way of eating that you enjoy (i.e. not about deprivation), is full of nutrients and is sustainable?

Adding my support (seewatididthere) for Shock Absorber. I got mine brand new for half price on eBay. Lasts forever too!

Hiya, I'm in London too. Been here a couple of days. Feel free to add me!

Fantastic and inspiring!

My favourite quote on the matter (heavily paraphrased) from Little Britain's Marjorie Dawes of Fat Fighters (read Weight Watchers), which sums it all up for me: "I forgot to bring the diet books this week, so just eat sensibly and exercise."

Daily Burn's Cardio Sculpt for me today. Everything below the waist hurts from yesterday's Butt, Hips and Thigh assault.

British. 50% Irish, 50% Jamaican - and Ireland just beat West Indies at Cricket in Jamaica! If only my Dad was alive to see it!

Will have to add you and Ritadex then, won't I?

FANTASTIC thread. If only these were the pictures we were bombarded with every day!

Yep, she's either attracted to you or she isn't. Hanging around, hoping this will change over time is a false investment.

How tall are you? With a BMI of 26.2 that just tips you into the 'overweight' category. The 'normal' category is 18.5-25. What was your body fat % last time you weighed in?

YAY!

I must respectfully disagree with you there. A juice fast is a short term goal and at the other end of the scale, having a juice in combination with a healthy, balanced diet is not going to deprive you of necessary fibre. I don't understand why you believe the nutrients go out of the window when you juice either. There is…

Hi, I did Jason Vale's 7 day thingy a long time ago, and it's pretty much cured my carb/sugar cravings. I think if you google 'Jason Vale Daily Mail' he's put up some recipes and a plan to go with it. Most of the recipes are delicious, and I was consuming exponentially more veggies than I normally do. Only thing I'd say is…

I had half a pint of Bud last night and I feel utterly ashamed of myself. But it was the only way I could get my beer fix.

I think the worst thing you can do is cut everything you enjoy out of your diet. It just makes you associate 'diet' with 'suffering' and you'll either quit early or put the weight back on after you've lost it. Like others have said, log it! I LOVE my food, so rather than depriving myself of what I enjoy I just eat less of…
