So not been on here much but fasting been going ok. I've basically tried to avoid eating most days til teatime then stuck to 600ish calories a couple of nights and the remainder just eaten what I wanted in the evening. Did have a few drinks over the weekend so was back up to 10.5 on Monday but...

So been pretty good food wise today. Ginger tea and some frozen grapes for breakfast. Ham, egg and beetroot salad for lunch followed by an apple. Then chilli and rice for tea made from scratch and just a sprinkle of cheese on to serve. No idea of calories - trying not to get too preoccupied with...

Hi here to subscribe - I'm just getting back into fasting as well so hopefully we can cheer each other on. I tend to just do 2 fast days a week though - try and fit an extra one in if I can but it rarely happens ha! Good luck with yr journey and 1lb is still a loss - got to start somewhere:-) x

Stage 2 of 30 day shred done (getting bored of stage one) made the mistake of weighing myself before jumping in the shower and was 10.5 booo! Best I can hope for is to be back at 10.3 in the morning post fast! Hopefully get under this after fasting on weds fingers crossed x

First fast today in ages! Been a busy month then went in holiday for 2 weeks and basically ate and drank anything I liked! Amazingly I'm back down to 10st 3 after just being a bit better with food over the weekend and not overdoing the alcohol. This is the weight my body seems to want to stay at...

Fast day today! Exercise for the week going well - I've been for 2 2mile runs and done 30 day shred yesterday. With the weather as it is today think it will be the shred again tonight! Not sure what tea will be this evening - something involving chicken I think. Also ive done 3 days of squat...

Right getting married 12 weeks today! Need to get my arse in gear and lose a bit of weight. Plan of action:- fast properly 2/3 times a week (going on holiday in 2 weeks so this is going to prove tricky!) Do some form of exercise everyday. Yesterday I went for a run, today I think I will only get...

Hey thanks. Wedding itself going to be pretty small - just parents and our 2 boys. Having a separate party we think which could be pretty epic as we have nearly 140 people to invite! Didn't even think we knew that many people:-) failed my fast on Tuesday but managed to do one yesterday so not...

Not managed a fast since last week so back on it today! My other half proposed on Friday so I now have a wedding as incentive to lose those extra pounds!!! Exciting times! We are thinking May bank holiday so not long at all and I really would like to be a stone lighter than I am now! So fast day...

Well I've made it! Survived on that half a slice of toast, cups of tea, water and a diet coke! Was going to have stir fry for tea but shattered and can't be bothered so just going to bed. Just had a slice of bread and butter to stop the rumblings! Woohoo! Fast done!

Supposed to be fasting today but already eaten half a slice of toast aghhhh! Ate loads of crap yesterday as well so really wanted to detox a little today. It's so cold though!!! Craving comforting food to keep me warm. All the biscuits have finally gone from the house (well a few digestives...

Held out til teatime yesterday and enjoyed the chilli! Then started on the biscuits again! Will be glad when they've all gone! Never buy biscuits they were all acquired over Christmas! I still think I was under my tdee yesterday despite the chocolate! Not fasting in the slightest today - already...

Hiya honey not gonna fast today but going to try and keep it a low calorie day. So far just had a cup of tea. Having chilli for tea so will try and hold out for that but if I get hungry during the day I'm not going to stop myself eating something. Out for lunch tomorrow so will fast Thursday...

Fasting again today but again just snacked on rubbish so feel rotten! My food has comprised a few curly fries off my sons plate at dinner, slice of bread and butter, 2 chicken dippers and 2 digestive biscuits! What's wrong with me?? We have so much fruit and veg in for the kids and I just choose...

I ended the day on just under 2200 calories! Tea was fine - got me upto 1850 roughly - then the boy opened a packet of biscuits and I jumped right in! Today I have eaten 4 digestive biscuits, 4 cadburys variety biscuit and half a toffee crisp! Why??? I rarely ever eat biscuits or chocolate...

So yesterday ended up being a 600 calorie day - calling that a fast! Weighed in this morning at 10st3 so that's 7lbs down since new year (unfortunately this just takes me back to pre Christmas weight but it's a step in the right direction!! Got 5 1/2 weeks now to try and get comfortably under 10...

So having a bit of a low calorie week apparently.mYesterday ended on just over 1100 calories and nearly half of that was a skinny latte and half a muffin in cafe Nero! The remainder was rack of lamb with a baked sweet potato and broccoli - was lovely! Today despite being at work all I've had is...

Fast day went well yesterday - ended on 535cal(actually worked it out this time) but unfortunately it was on bad food. Fasted great til boyo cracked open the malt loaf - I resisted then my son decided he didn't like it so ended up polishing his off - that opened the food floodgate and I then had...

Rant alert! I stupidly weighed myself! I've lost 2lbs in 2 weeks I'm down to 10.8 Now I know this is a loss and I should be grateful BUT giving up wine has been so hard for me I honestly thought I would have lost about 5lbs in that time! I have consumed quite a bit of chocolate - that's the...

Nearly made it through the fast. Had stir fry for tea as planned - wasn't that great! Ended up stealing a tiny bit of my sons toast when I made it so reckon I'm closer to 600kcals really (I never work it out precisely!) didn't make it spinning - 2 year old was in a right grump when I picked him...

Well it's a fast day for me today - ate a bag of mini eggs before bed last night so hate myself a little bit! Cups of tea and water will hopefully get me through til teatime when we will have stir fry. Missed spinning last night as we were busy sorting the house out to get it on the market today...

I would like to lose a stone initially but ideally I would like to get down to 9 stone by the time I go back to work in July (was 10.10 on the 1st Jan so just under 2 stone to lose!) we can do it together:-)

Hey yeah welcome the more the merrier:-) how are you finding fasting??

The peanut butter cookies were amazing! I can take a picture of the recipe if you would like it! Yes spin class kills your bum for the first few times but you tend to get used to it after a while. I do eat anything I want at the weekends. Try to be a bit more conservative with snacks during the...

Hey honey glad to have you along. I tend to change the days I fast on depending on plans. Usually always do mon and Thursday but aiming to slot in another on Wednesdays or Friday's. Have you done fasting before? It's not too hard once you get into the swing of it and distract yourself!! This...

Hi all. I'm Caroline and have been fasting on and off for about 2 years now - had a little interlude where I grew a baby and was then breastfeeding. Kind of got back into it towards the end of last year but then Christmas arrived and it all goes out of the window as usual! Fresh start in 2015...

Well done both of you that's great news. I gained 1lb this week but been pretty bad and was quite lame with exercise so to be expected really! Good fast yesterday and shred exercise complete as well as some on the Xbox kinect. Not done any today and I have to confess have cracked open the wine...

Wow 3 bet you never sit down haha! We definitely want a 3rd (would love a girl I'm very outnumbered at the minute!) but think I'm gonna have to wait til my eldest goes to school. Don't think I could cope with 3 all at home on my own haha! Good luck for your fast day tomorrow - stir fry is a fast...

Well I went to the gym this evening so not gonna do the shred. I think I will save that for days when I definitely can't do any other exercise - my other half goes climbing on a Monday and badminton on a Wednesday so will probably do it then for sure - I know I won't get the same effect but I'd...

Yeah I keep starting the 30 day shred but make it to about day 6 then get thoroughly bored of it! Maybe I'll join you and start it again....! My littlest is having a nap right now I could in theory do it now but here I am lay in bed being a lazy so and so! To be fair I've done quite a bit of...

Right it's 5 weeks til Christmas and I need to get my bum in gear! Been fasting fine but other days I'm terrible (I'm blaming my partner he came home last night with pizza and wine and I now hate myself a lot!) do far too much snacking and been drinking far too much wine (in fairness I've only...

That's amazing well done x x

Well I managed 2 fasts in a row woohoo! Down to 10st 1 this morning which is only 1lb loss but considering I was bad over the weekend and had dominos and wine on Tuesday I'm pretty happy with that:-) to top it off my little one slept for 12 hours straight last night so doubly happy - hope it's a...

Well done on your first fast tigger! Hope you get great results on Monday! I'm going for the fast today - so far just had a herbal tea! I am starving though and have a bit if a headache going yo try drinking lots of water to try and clear it! Been a bit lame on the exercising front thus week -...

Well unexpected fast day for me today. Just wasn't particularly hungry so held off till about 4 when I had a couple of pieces of toast and a few mouthfuls of tuna pasta salad. I am feeling a bit hungry now but just put myself in bed so I'm not tempted to eat as I've made it to so late in the...

Wow well done! That's amazing x

Hope your fast day went well. I was back to 10st2 this morning so no loss but no gain either which I'm relieved about after thinking I'd gained 3lb! No fast now til Monday so enjoy the weekend and I'll check in next week:-) (she says with glass of wine in hand!!) x

Another fast day for me! Scales this morning show a 3lb gain so not very happy:-( I've been pretty good this week food wise - been trying not to eat til at Least lunch time even on non fast days so though skipping breakfast would have some benefit! Clearly not. I have been exercising though did...

Amazing well done x x I've had a successful fast today after quite a heavy weekend! Just getting in bed now to avoid eating anything haha! Going to try not to eat til as late as possible tomorrow. Not sure how that's gonna work out coz I'm pretty peckish at the moment! Hope you're having a good...

I'm starving already - been up with my little boy twice in the night and was hungry then! Aghh! Going to be a long day! Lots of water and diet coke for me today! Planning a beef stir fry for tea or maybe chicken kebabs with rice can't wait:-) hope your day passes quickly just think of the nandos...

Hi how's everyone doing? Fast day looming for me tomorrow! Been quite bad the last couple of days had quite a bit of wine last night and had pizza express for dinner today! Doing my best to resist the open bottle of wine in the fridge at the minute? have done the 30 day shred workout for the...

I've made it through a fast day finally! Other half had a week off work last week so we didn't fast once and ate out/ drank wine quite a bit! Started afresh today! Just got into bed and I'm starving haha! Did the 30 day shed tonight as well - plan on doing that on the days when I can't get to...

That's great well done x

It was pretty slow weight loss to be honest - usually 1lb every couple of weeks but I never count calories on non fast days and I'm terrible at the weekends - we get take out every Friday and drink far too much wine. If I was better behaved I'm sure the losses would have been much better x

Hi I have just restarted after having my second baby in July! I did it from March last year til November when I found out I was pregnant. I lost a stone and hoping to lose 1 1/2 this time! Currently 10st 4 and hoping to be under 10 by Christmas! Fingers crossed x

Hey yeah weekend was nice - nothing too exciting but pretty terrible diet wise - how was your weekend? How goes the diet? Will go and read yr diary in a min:-) I think I've decided to try weight watchers again! I like being able to track everything I eat and I think that's what I need right now...

I don't allow peanut butter in the house coz I will just sit and eat it with a spoon! Hope yr having a good day. I got quite a bit of sleep last night so feeling loads better this morning. So far had some toast - not sw friendly unfortunately - today I. Just concentrating on not eating crap...

Thanks for the tip - think I may give this a go but not sure I have the willpower to not eat the full bag haha! This week I have discovered Nutella on bread - the thought of chocolate spread has always repulsed me but wow can't get enough right now! Terrible week diet wise but also terrible...

Today have been really good food wise Breakfast - muesli (heb) vanilla yoghurt with strawberries and a banana Lunch - 2 bread (heb) 2 egg and light mayo (2syns) tomato yoghurt and blueberries Tea - beef stir fry. Then the chocolate craving kicked in and I had a crunchie and some left over...

Aghhhhh bad week - hence lack of posts on here! Fresh start today! Got my sons 2nd birthday party in 2 weeks so hoping to have lost a couple of pounds by then. Was back up to 10st4 when I weighed this morning but considering how bad I've been with chocolate and other sugary goods this could have...

Sent myself to bed last night so I didn't eat any cake! It worked ha! Unfortunately not much sleep again - this kid is hungry! I managed an hour this morning by letting him feed lay in bed with me - but I'm always paranoid about squishing him if I fall asleep so it's more of a light doze than...

Well yesterday was going really well - despite the lack of food in the house I managed to muddle through as follows til 8pm B - 2 weetabix and ss milk (hea and b) and a banana L - golden savoury rice and apple T - smoked salmon salad - rocket, toms, peppers - 2 tbsp full fat cream cheese (I...

SO today is the first day of my new healthy lifestyle (hmmm heard that a few times before!!!) I've just given birth to my second son on 12th July and was pretty terrible during pregnancy - mainly due to my chocolate addiction (don't usually have a sweet tooth but when I'm pregnant I can't leave...

I know that's what I told him but he's adamant it's a boy now! Hope he's not too disappointed if it turns out to be a girl haha! Hope you feel better sounds like a terrible night. Glad you had yr scan to look forwards too and glad it went well:-)

Haha yeah probably what he saw too!

Thanks Jess will definitely check out those threads. I'm already super excited for my 20 week scan and it's ages off so hope you manage to get some sleep tonight in Anticipation:-) my oh was convinced he saw boy bits at our scan last Friday but I'm not sure how much faith I have in his...

Hi everyone I used to post on here a whole ago but then started doing 5:2 which really suited my lifestyle. I'm now pregnant though so fasting isn't an option for me so I'm hoping to jump on the sw bandwagon for the next 6 months or so to try and keep my weight gain to a minimum. My biggest...

Hi guys I'm 12 weeks pregnant and so far have been terrible with food! The nausea has meant I have just eaten whatever I felt like but it rarely made me feel better (great whilst eating it but still nauseas as soon as I stop) anyhow hoping to stick to sw from tomorrow and not gain too much...

Hey how's everyone doing? Seems very quiet on this thread these days. I went back to work in August after a year off and not really had much time to post - doing long days so I can have Fridays off which is definitely worth it but don't really get to see my little boy at all mon- thurs which...

Hey how's everyone doing? Been a bit quiet on here! I've still been fasting (last week attempted a Friday fast which just didn't work out!) much better this week though 2 successful fasts and 10.4 on the scales today (not my lowest but considering I was off the rails a bit last week I'm happy)...

Well done Denise I'm aspiring to be under 10st too so that's a great achievement:-)

Had to restart this on weds coz I failed last week was just busy. Just done day 3 level one - definitely not aching as much as I did last week so it must have done some good:-) those side lunges and arm raises still kill me though! Ha!

Welcome to Hanin and tarty:-)

Hey guys how's everyone doing? Been a bit rubbish at posting this week really don't know where time goes. My son is crawling and pulling himself up onto every bit of furniture so i literally have to follow him around everywhere now and i just dont have time for anything else - how exciting is my...

Whoop still 1lb down today despite being bad last night:-)

The shred is actually ok - ached after day 1 and 2 but been fine today (did level 2 yesterday as well!) not had chance to do it today though boo! Had a really good fast day - lovely tea but we have both just caved and are having a glass of wine:-/ less hopeful of a loss tomorrow now as its...

Yay well done missperi-good inspiration for my fasting day:-) woke up absolutely starving everyday this week! Currently trying to ignore the bread calling to me from the fridge! Upto day three of doing 30 day shred but not sure when I'm gonna fit it in today or tomorrow so will just have to see...

Day three and I decided to move onto level 2 (mainly coz I was bored already of level 1) didn't find it much more difficult but reckon I'm gonna feel it in the morning! Also ran 3k before tea so feeling good. Hope everyone has enjoyed the sunshine today x x

Fast day sounds good missperi good luck for wi today! X

Day 2 done (stuck to level 1 - arms are bloody killing me!) Good luck to those who have yet to do it today x x

Good fast yesterday - just over 500 cals I think (was making baby food and ended up tasting it quite a bit so I think that tipped me over the edge - note to self only make baby food on non fast days!) started the 30 day shred yesterday and did a around. 4 mile walk with boyo on my back and later...

Yep aching a bit this morning! I did do a run as well though. Think ill stick to level 1 today instead of trying to be cocky and do level 2 haha!

Haha I will look forwards to the morning then:-) yeah I don't mind it either like you say - makes you feel lie you are actually doing some good! Went for a massive walk for 2 hours with the baby on my back as well so hoping some calories burned there too!!

Hey guys can i join in? I've just done day 1 level 1 this morning - didn't find it too bad actually other than the side lunges with weights which nearly killed me! May try level 2 tomorrow - will see how much I'm aching in the morning:-)

Well done on the loss mishelly. Hope everyone has had a nice weekend! I've. Been my usual terrible self with wine and snacks every evening oh and a meal out involving lots of tapas oops! Weighed in this morning at 10.6 - actually happy with that as usually I've been 10.8 post weekend! Fast day...

Hi mishelly welcome to the group:-) I reached my new low of. 10st 3 today woohoo! Been fluctuating between 10.4 and 10.8 for weeks now so hoping this is a move in the right direction:-) done 2 proper fasts this week (i have gotten into the habit of fasting for 24 hours then going ah well ill eat...

Haha story of my life! Fasted successfully yesterday even though I was in work woohoo! Trying for a half fast today - we only have sausage and mash in for tea so that's gonna be over 500! Trying for another fast tomorrow as I'm in work again and think its gonna be mad busy so hopefully I won't...

Well im 4lbs down back at 10st 4 post holiday Yay! Yesterday's fast was kind of a half fast - we went for a swim then had steak, chips with mushrooms and onions for tea delish! Then had a little dairy milk bar and that was it! Amazing for a Friday night - can believe I didn't cave and nip to the...

Yay well done miss peri! I've lost another pound too which means 4lbs down since tues doing 1 full fast and 2 half fasts (but staying under 1500ish) I have done 1 run (4kish) swam half a mile and most importantly stayed away from the vino! May be having a BBQ today though as the weather looks...

I know I'm terrible - usually it's stuff lurking at the back of the cupboards - my food shops are always brilliantly healthy I can usually avoid them to be honest don't know what was wrong with me yesterday! the wine addiction is another matter entirely though:-) managed to stay away from the...

Totally sw unfriendly day - about to have a fish finger butty for tea coz we are not hungry enough to make up a massive fresh meal - got some burger buns which need using up so guess in my head I'm being economical! Calorie wise I'm still just under 1500 which I'm not distraught with. Fasting...

Damn it just had a bloody mini dairy milk aghhh! Think I'm gonna have to calorie count today for damage limitation purposes. Gonna plod on and make sw macaroni cheese from latest magazine - sounds lovely from ingredients fingers crossed its tasty! No more snacking and eating bread. Legs are...

Been bad today oops! Meeting a friend for lunch and was planning on taking her a cafe where we could have jackets potatoes etc but by the time we had both fed our babies it was getting late so we just walked to a butty shop - aghhh bread is terrible on sw! Ended up with a poached salmon and dill...

Hey nice to have you on board:-) yeah I think you're right I've been thinking of making a chilli at some point with the millions of cans of beans and peas I have in the cupboard. Thinking of stocking up more on frozen veg and stuff too - especially handy when I'm back in work!

I always thought I needed food constantly but fasting has made me realise being hungry isn't all that bad and it does pass! Saying that on feast days I have been pretty bad hence why im trying to stick to sw in between!

Well done Jenny that's fab - I've lost 3lbs of the 5 I put on last week so pretty pleased with that too. Planning another fast day on Friday as well so hopefully that will shift the other 2 fingers crossed x

One medium egg is around 80cals - I would usually use 3 (or bulk it out with egg white as they are around 7cals) then just agg lots of veg - mushrooms, onions, garlic sometimes potato and cheese if i have enough cals left for the day - really filling:-) good luck with your fast day Missperi you...

Hi ria yeah 5:2 means sticking to 500cals two days a week (for example eating normally on Sunday finishing with evening meal then Monday consume 500 cals either in one meal or spread throughout the day and then nothing til Tuesday morning then repeat on another day through the week) surprisingly...

Fast yesterday went well - didn't do any exercise though boo! Tried a consecutive fast today as the rest of my week is a bit unpredictable - made it til about 1430 then i caved and made a tuna salad! Only came in at 164 cals though so not too bad - just annoyed as I can normally make it til...

Don't worry about that like Jenny said you could wee that out haha! I've just caved and made a tuna salad - only came in at 164cals so not going to berate myself too much i was feeling really cold and lethargic - already feel better! may reassess tea and make an omlette instead of pasta. Don't...

I reckon easy less than 50 calories for a big bowl of salad (just did a rough guess from Mfp) good snacking choice! 9lbs on! That's got to be water retention or something - it would take a whole lot more than some chocolate and cakes over the weekend! YOu will get that off easy enough! I'm...

Morning - fast went well thanks really enjoyed tea:-) how was your day? Trying for a second fast today (got stuff on for the rest of the week which will make fasting hard but not sure how ill do with back to back fasting!) anyone else done it? I usually weigh in once a week officially after my...

Right back on it now - combining 5:2 with sw! Need to lose a stone in 7 weeks for a holiday to finland and also get myself considerably fitter than I am now! I go back to work in August (after a year off on maternity) so the shock of early mornings and 10 hour shifts is going to be a nightmare...

Hey all - I've been a bit rubbish for the last few weeks - half arsed attempts at fasting and being terrible in between. Back off hols yesterday so back on it properly today! Fasting but I'm starving coz my body has got used to constant snacking over a long weekend! Holding off til teatime then...

Hey how's everyone doing? Been a bit quiet on here - I assume due to us all eating and drinking whatever we like over the bank holiday (well that sums up my weekend anyway!) successful fast yesterday including a short run and holding off eating til lunchtime today and hoping to not binge! Off to...

Good luck with weigh in Missperi x

Sorry you have been unwell manicdeb - hope you're feeling much better. Ive been fasting today and just had a lovely sw chilli with chickpeas, kidney beans and rice - proper full up now- came in slightly over the 500 but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. Tomorrow I plan on snacking on fruit...

Whoop 1lb down for me today - this has involved 2 full fasts and a part fast yesterday but still worth the effort I think to see those scales move again! Gonna hold off eating for as long as possible today but then have the weekend off - hopefully not go too ridiculous though. Have a great...

Haha thanks - I stayed away from the wine but did have a few mini poppadoms - took my daily intake to 620 for the day so not too bad. Trying for anther fast day today too as Im out tomorrow night for a 3 course meal and probably lots of drinks so its damage limitation! Possibly doing half an...

Missperi your Saturday sounds positively angelic in comparison to mine haha! A miracle happened tonight and i Finally went for a run! Only 2.5k but its the first time I've got off my bum cheeks to do something! Also did 100 squats and sit-ups (failed the squat challenge over the weekend again so...

Blimey yeah sounds like you're well under what you should be eating - go and eat cake now:-) I don't seem to have much control on eating days - I'm good all day but then in the evening the wine and snacks come out! I'm out on Friday night so gonna try and be good til then! Think I. Gonna try and...

Morning all. Fasting again today hurrah - had an epic fail last night - resisted the wine til 1030 but then proceeded to drink the entire bottle (watching lord of the rings - we were up late - very much regretting it now as my son is up all bright eyed and wanting to play!) so calories for the...

Afternoon all - put on 4lbs this morning post weekend binge! I cannot complain in the slightest as there has been a lot of food and drink consumed so it was inevitable! On the plus side though I tried my denim skirt on this morning that is usually quite tight and it appears to fit me again...

Woohoo fasted today and finally lost another 1lb! That is all gonna go out the window this weekend as I'm off for a Chinese in about half an hour and lots of events over the weekend which will lead to eating and drinking - hoping if I'm good through the week next week ill keep it off fingers...

Well done joanne x

Hi seacreast hope your fast went well! Fingers crossed for your weigh in tomorrow:-) I'm doing a part fast today from teatime last night til I go out for a Chinese at about 8 to tonight.

That's fab well done. - ditto with the weekend downhill tumble haha!

Hey thanks manicdeb it's good to hear other people's perspectives. I definitely fall into the category of underestimating how much I do actually eat on a feasting day - I should really start logging on Mfp properly - I may do it for the next week or so and see what the results are next week. I'm...

Aghhhh bloody 10st 6 still! Not budged for weeks now getting a bit deflated! I have been a bit silly on the weekends though which may have something to do with it! I thought that was the whole point of doing this diet though! Suppose i should be grateful I've not gained! I'm out for a Chinese on...

It's a 30 day challenge where you increase the number of squats you do each day - starts at 50 thn gets more and more ridiculous haha. There is a thread for it on here but i don't know how to copy a link on the iPad sorry. Fast day again for me - did go to the pub yesterday which was a slippery...

Well I did what I thought I would do and as soon as my food shop arrived I binged on toast - was starving so ended up having 4 slices aghhhh! That's more calories than I consumed all day yesterday already! Been for a short walk and taking the boyo for a splash in the pool shortly (had to stop...

Morning everyone. Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! Party went well on Friday and have been spoilt rotten by friends and family all weekend! Weighed in this morning and only put 1lb on which is amazing as there has been a lot of drinking and eating going on so I'm pretty happy with that...

Ready to party.... Have a fab weekend everyone x x

Well I stayed the same booooo! My other half cracked open a bottle if cider for me last night though as he wanted to give me birthday pressies early so I'm defo blaming that (managed to not touch a drop since Saturday which is a miracle for me haha but was hoping that would make a difference on...

That's great new Jen - you will pick it all up in no time! Bet you know the job inside out its just getting used to the way different departments run finding out stupid stuff like where they store everything! I'm gonna be doing some bank work at a private hospital and just hate not knowing where...

Hey maz I've been up and down, stayed the same and that's all in just a 5 week period - I've kept at it though and the weight seems to be staying off unlike other diets when I've binged at the weekend and put every pound back on! I have my birthday weekend coming up and I will be eating out and...

Awesome miss peri well done! We are all heading in the right direction it seems:-) trying to do a mini fast today - from last night to teatime today got quite a busy day so hopefully that will take my mind off wanting to eat! Got an interview for some possible bank work to earn some extra...

Well done for the loss! Great news! I'm back to 10.6 post fast which is good - hoping for a couple more pounds after my fasts on weds and maybe thurs! Jenny I have headaches whilst fasting occasionally (think it was more caffeine withdrawal more than anything though!) hopefully it will pass now...

Hey guys hope everyone had a nice weekend. I like the fact we don't really post on here over the weekend as we can relax a bit more and eat what we want after the fasting through the week! Love it! Toni you look lovely hope you enjoyed the cocktails:-) I had a hen do on sat so drank quite a lot...

Hey well done on the losses Jenny and maz that's fab. I've stayed the same today (10st6) but considering my 4 day binge over the weekend I'm really happy with that. It still means that in 4 weeks of doing 5:2 I've lost 5lbs so when you look at the bigger picture it makes me feel better. 1 week...

Well spinning nearly killed me - don't know whether its coz I've not been for a while or not eaten all day! But I did it and looking forwards to stir fry for tea soon (my staple fast day tea apparently) hope everyone has had a good day x x

Toni I. Sure you will definitely be back into the 11s after your next fast hold in there. Welcome deliciousboo hope you enjoy your first fast day:-) Right it's my 30th birthday party next Friday and I was meant to be under 10stone by then and I'm miles off (well 6lbs) so this next week I'm...

Congrats grannieannie that's well exciting news! I have been very bad food and drink wise over the weekend so hoping the fast days will make up for it! Fasted yesterday and this morning I'm only 1lb up so hopefully fasting on thurs will do away with that extra 1lb! Totally failed the squat...

Forgot. Til late to do them so didn't bother with stomach crunches or weights! Day 1 - 50 squats - done Day 2 - 55 squats - done Day 3 - 60 squats- done Day 4 - Rest Day - done Day 5 - 70 squats - done Day 6 - 75 squats Day 7 - 80 squats Day 8 - Rest Day Day 9 - 100 squats Day 10 - 105 squats...

I eat as normal but on the occasion I have added it up on Mfp I'm usually well over 2000 on my feast days (best not to calculate I reckon haha) mine is usually coz once I open I bottle of wine I finish it and that's over 500 calories on its own! I weigh in post fast! I just accept I will put on...

Yeah thanks I always forget about that stuff- actually tastes ok doesn't it! I shall stock up:-)

1lb off this morning woohoo! I know it's only a small amount but I've really not been watching what I eat on food days so I'm really please with that! And I've not done much exercise other than the squats:-)I am a bit worried about Easter weekend and working 2 days next week though not sure when...

Squats with weights (only little ones im weak and feeble) and stomach crunches Day 1 - 50 squats - done Day 2 - 55 squats - done Day 3 - 60 squats- done Day 4 - Rest Day Day 5 - 70 squats Day 6 - 75 squats Day 7 - 80 squats Day 8 - Rest Day Day 9 - 100 squats Day 10 - 105 squats Day 11 - 110...

Evening all. Well done to everyone fasting today - we are nearly there! My usual plan of eating in the evening has gone to pot today as I was in work so ended up caving and going to the nice butty van. Was very good though I usually get a giant (and they are huge) egg mayo salad which probably...

I try and fast from going to bed in the evening til early evening the next day when I have my 500cals in one meal then nothing til morning x

Yeah I think it pretty much tones every muscle in yr legs and bum:-) x

Cool I randomly started this yesterday from seeing it somewhere else so I'm in! Trying to do the same number of stomach crunches as well on each day! Fingers crossed we get some muscles from doing this:-( Day 1 - 50 squats - done Day 2 - 55 squats - done Day 3 - 60 squats Day 4 - Rest Day Day...

Morning - welcome to the new guys hope yr fasting day went well. Overall verdict on those slim noodle things - not great! They helped bulk put the stir fry and there is nothing offensive about them - they don't really taste of anything! But for the price of them and the amount you get I wouldn't...

I'm starving and sat here watching masterchef! Fool! Can't wait for tea tonight though - mussels in a white wine sauce to start (141cal) followed by a king prawn stir fry with mushrooms onions and pepper (marinating prawns in nandos sauce at the min:-) using some of those slim noodle things you...

Well done on the loss peri. Fingers crossed we all get a good loss this week. I have had far too much wine this weekend so fasting today will hopefully detox my body haha! Hoping to hold out til teatime but I'm really bored today so keep thinking about food! Next fasting on weds when I'm in work...

Well been on a spending spree this weekend (all on credit card but i dont care!) and bought lots of new clothes that actually fit me! Been trying to convince myself I will fit in my pre pregnancy clothes for 7months now but came to the realisation that a) no I'm not - my body has undergone...

So I nipped into town and came back with 5 dresses (3 size 14 from primark 2 size 12 from new look) the primark 14 is way too small but the new look dresses fit perfectly - annoying! Certainly not buying the next size up in primark I've fell out with them! Got some nice things in there though at...

Love the first 4 dresses-may go and have a look in h and m myself:-) never think to go in there but they are lovely x

Well stayed the same weight wise but considering I put on 4lbs over the weekend I'm quite glad to be back at 10st7 - will be doing a part fast on Friday and not got much planned this weekend so hopefully I will see a bigger loss next week! Off to work now! Hope everyone has a good day x x

Just remember that McDonald's is rubbish and you would having been starving half an hour later anyway:-)

Fasting day for me today - didn't go mad on feast day yesterday so hoping that I've lost weight when I weigh in tomorrow. Not doing so great on the exercise front either really can't b bothered! Plus my day in work yesterday was pretty epic and involved nearly 4 hours of travelling (120 miles in...

Hope you have a lovely birthday tomorrow and diets definitely don't count in birthday weeks:-) x

Hi Henri welcome. I had a banana the other day and it was 120cals (it was huge!) if you download Mfp it tells you calories for pretty much everything. I've only done a few fast days myself so I'm no expert but I prefer saving my calories for one decent meal in the evening and just drink diet...

It's good to hear that it is normal to for your weight to fluctuate so much between feast and fast days! I was gutted this morning but hoping after a few fast days that will come back down. Debridger that's a great loss well done although I don't know how you go without any food at all on your...

Well I weighed myself after my weekend of indulgence and I've up on 4lbs apparently! So overall I'm a pound heavier than when I started oops! Hope the fast days sort that out this week and not got much planned this weekend so hopefully won't go off the rails as much as I did this weekend haha...

Hey guys hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Welcome to the new peeps too. I've had a great weekend (after getting over nearly killing my child!) but this has involved eating and drinking lots oops! Not even bothered tracking calories coz I would be horrified! Had a little party at my house...

Aghhh ate Pizza Hut last night and immediately regretted it! A million calories for crap pizza! Boo!

on a feast day today but not really eaten much as my little boy rolled off a seat in a cafe and landed face down and I still feel physically sick and mega guilty for taking my eyes off him for a second! (Rolling over is a very new skill for him) He was absolutely fine - just shocked but I had...

Well done everyone on the losses that's fab! Here's to a weekend of normal eating without the guilt:-) x

Morning. Wow mrs t that's great losses - very inspiring to keep going with this plan. Welcome to everyone else too. I'm only part fasting today (since lunchtime yesterday) so decided to make today my weigh in day (also because I think my fast days next week will be mon and weds as I'm in work...

I take it back - just weighed myself before getting in the bath (thinking to myself this is a stupid idea I'm always heavier in the evening) but I've lost 2lbs apparently! That's greatly improved my pretty crappy mood (got a speeding ticket today well angry with myself - sneaky cops on the...

Hey guys sounds like you're all doing great. I'm managing the plan fine just having to chop and change when I fast to fit in with social plans. Have fasted from 230 today and aiming to go til 7 tomorrow when my friend is coming over for tea - not decided if I'm going to use the 500cals yet will...

Not nearly as bad as I thought - would love a chippy tea:-)

Bananas are shocking! I eat at least 2 a day on slimming world - just had one when i got back from my run and entered it on Mfp and it was 120 calories! I can defo think of better ways to use up those cals:-) on a positive note I ran 4.76k and the last bit was uphill so really pleased. Going to...

Aww poor kitty cat:-( I had mine done last year - ralph came home and was running about like nothing had happened but the girl cat Eva felt sorry for herself for days mainly coz she had to wear one of those daft collars which really got on her nerves. Totally worth doing though! Hope yours is...

I've heard these skinny glorious fresh soups are quite good round about 200kcal for a big tub depending on flavour. Not sure about home made ones - maybe ones involving green veg or mushrooms as they seem to be quite low in calories. Good luck to everyone fasting today x

Hey that's great hopefully after another fast this week that figure will go up:-) I weighed myself and I'm exactly the same boo! Didn't really expect instant results though so won't let it deter me. No even that hungry this morning - gonna wait to eat breakfast when the hunger pangs set in...

That's fab we'll done x x

Sat here watching bloody come dine with me - not a good idea:-( idiot:-) boo to bronchitis - I would be having the rest of the week off work don't do yourself in rushing back you could make yrself worse x here's to a speedy recovery x x

Getting quite hungry now- first time all day. Took my son swimming (I say swimming he's only 7 months haha) why does water always make you hungry. Just made a cinnamon tea to get me through the pangs but it tastes like dishwater! Has anyone got any nice tea recommendations? Not going to be...

Aghhhh people keep making plans that involve me eating - got lunch out on weds and fri which was fine coz they are normal food days but now I've got a friend coming for tea on Thursday which was meant to be a fast day-can hardly dish up a 500cal meal for her! New plan for the week Monday - fast...

Brill well done:-) I'm hoping for a loss on Friday - been pretty rubbish over the weekend so any loss would be amazing - hoping today and Thursdays fast will rectify my bad behaviour:-)

Haha always the way! Hope the lemon water does the trick! I've just been feeding my son weetabix -really wanted some! So far not feeling too hungry don't think that will last too long though:-) good luck with your fast x x

Sorry yr ill Laura hope you feel better soon x

That sounds fine - just do what you think is best for you - I know the earlier I eat the more I will want to eat later (if I have breakfast I'm starving by lunch time) but have realised I can go most of the day without (supplemented by my diet coke habit which isn't the healthiest I'm hoping to...

Hey there are a few of us trying this at the moment I'm weighing in on Friday so will let you know how it goes (and I've been quite bad this weekend so would be a miracle if I've lost anything). If you search the earlier posts there has been a new thread started for those of us giving it a go...

Well I've been reasonably sensible food wise for the rest of the weekend - did consume a bottle of wine last night though but hey ho I'm hoping the fasting will compensate my terrible wine habit. We are going to have tea tonight and then fast til tomorrow teatime when we will have our 500kcal in...

That's fab we'll done x x

Hey good idea to start a new thread. I had an epic meal out last night after fasting all day and I was so full! Didn't even want dessert (although the boy insisted on ordering one but I just had a taste and that was all I could manage) do feel a bit guilty though - dont think ill feel totally...

Well im making up this fasting marlarkey up as. I. Go along at the min. I have been fasting for 24 hours evening to evening for the last 3days which isn't how it's supposed to be done but I'm out for a meal and drinks tonight so I guess I am trying to save my calories. The reason im liking the...

I've only just started so will let you know this time next week. I've only been doin 24 hour fasts so far (6pm to 6pm) to ease myself into it gonna do the full amount from Sunday. Not actually made any 500kcal meals yet I've just been snacking on a couple of bananas and blueberries to get me...

So I've heard about this 5:2 diet before and not really given it much thought- until you guys started talking about it the other day! I've now read the book watched the horizon program and managed to convince the other half to partake (in 5 years of me dieting he has never been enthusiastic!)...

Hey does anybody fast from one evening to the next? I'm thinking of doing it 6pm to 6pm so that I can still enjoy dinner with my family - just wondered if anybody had done it this way and still got results.

Haha I know what you mean - I can sink a bottle in an hour and a half and could quite easily open another afterwards. A pound for a a bottle of wine?? Blimey I think I should avoid Spain! Whereabouts do you live over there! Good luck with the diet - I've so far been ok today - it remains to be...

Right back on it today. Been terrible since Saturday. Gonna do an extra easy day today - dont really like doing them really but limited choices for tea tonight so making a shepherds pie. Breakfast - banana and whole meal toast with lolo cheese spread (hea and heb) Lunch - fruit and yogurt Tea...

The wine has officially won this weekend! I'm fine during the week but at the weekend I've just got to have a bottle a nigh aghhhhh. Start again tomorrow x

Ditto - breakfast and lunch were great - angelic even not a syn in sight- then a friend took me out for tea and its been downhill since then! Aghhh. Start again tomorrow eh?

Well yesterday was definitely a write off - involving chocolate pie, a bottle of wine and a few other naughties thrown in for good measure! Back on it today though- just eaten a massive bowl of fruit salad and ff yoghurt was lovely but still hungry aghhhh! Hope everyone has a great day x x

That look lovely x x

Morning guys. Well I've weighed myself a day early (coz I predict today is gonna go badly food wise) and I've lost 2lbs yay - that's me on target to be 10stone by 5 weeks on Friday! If I continue to do 2lbs per week I may even get under 10! Lets not get too excited! Today I'm going to a friends...

Currently drinking the remaining wine - 16 syns! Been quite saintly with food all day so didn't feel too bad but now the boy has cracked open a box of malteasers! Eaten about 5 so far will work out the syns later:-( no exercise today either aghhhh! Going to a friends for lunch tomorrow and was...

I stuck to the one glass! Progress has been made! Normally the bottle would have been demolished! (Will probably finish it off tonight:-) having a green day today mainly due to the quorn chilli leftover that needs eating today otherwise it will be in the bin. So this is the plan Breakfast -...

Just one glass-albeit quite a large glass 250ml at least-going to syn 8 for it so syns for the day 15.5 - worth it I reckon (just need to not polish off the bottle now it's open:-)

So far ignoring the bottle of wine calling me in the fridge-a hot vimto will do for now! The boy is sat next to me drinking and eating chocolate eclairs it's pure torture. Had some bisto gravy with tea (tiny amount) counting it as 2 syns so upto 7.5 syns for the day. Will see how the next hour...

This sounds awesome hope you have a fab time x x

Sight change in plan for meals today Breakfast turned out to be egg and beans on toast (had to use the remainder of that horrible tin I opened the other day - wasn't too bad with the egg Dinner - Morrys cheese and brocolli pasta n sauce (was at my dads he had loads if them in his cupboard - was...

I resisted the wine! The boy did bring some home but I stayed strong and didn't cave! Going to try and hold off till at least Friday if not Saturday for a cheeky drink! Planning a green day today as I'm going to do a run later (hopefully) Breakfast - egg on toast (hea) Dinner - left over quorn...

Well I've pretty much stuck to plan - stayed with red day as wasn't starving when it got to tea time and I had used too many healthy extras anyway Snacks - tin of tuna (random but still had zero proper food in the house until the shop arrived at 1!) it was in oil as well so syns 4.5 (drained...

Didn't end up using any syns yesterday - was so full from tea didn't need anything else all evening. Today's plan:-) Red day (may change to EE at tea time if I'm starving) Breakfast- 35g porridge oats (heb) fat free natural yog and blueberries (just ploughing my way through this now it's quite...

Thanks for the replies think I'm going to try saving some syns for a bottle of wine on Saturday night. Planning on running again on thurs (ran 3.9k today yay!) and sat plus maybe a spinning class on Friday so hopefully this will help compensate for a few cheeky wines. Got to go to a friends for...

What are people views on saving syns throughout the week to use for being naughty at the weekend? Has anyone done this and still lost or is is generally a bad idea? X

I made it for a run yay! Did 3.9k - took me 25 mins which isn't great but I've got time to work on my speed will just focus on distance at the minute. Think I will stick to green days every other day when I'm planning on going running - hopefully the carbs will get me further. Food wise stuck to...

Hardly any food in the house! Thought I'd ordered a shop to be delivered today but I stupidly ordered it for next week oops! Going to have to make some random concoctions from what I've got in the cupboard and freezer oh dear. Decided to have a green day based on the only foods I have in...

So I didn't make it for a run this morning boo! My son woke up at 7 and my partner has an amazing ability to sleep through him crying so the run had to be cancelled. Hoping I may be able to go at 5 when he gets home from work but he is often late and I don't like going when it's starting to get...

So, I have been doing slimming world on and off since jan - lost a couple of pounds but nothing to get excited over. Im currently 10st11lbs and 5ft 4inches. My main problem is the wine at the weekends- I just can't resist the temptation hahaha. Anyhow I turn 30 in 6 weeks and have been cajoled...

Well I've just swam a mile - first time I've done that for well over a year. Feeling really motivated to do exercise this week. Aiming to do a run before my other half goes to work in the morning - ha will see how that works out when my alarm goes off at 7! Food wise not too bad today probably...

Well done on the weight loss that's fab! Gives me encouragement that it can be done:-) Would love to be 9st9 - that's how much I weighed before I was pregnant (and I thought I was overweight then ha!) hoping to eventually get down to 9st - will be fab just to fit in my jeans again I literally...

Hey guys I've been following your thread for a few weeks but not really participated coz my diet has been a bit on and off! Mainly due to my need to drink a bottle of wine every night at the weekend (this is an improvement - it used to be a few cheeky ones in the week as well!) I have got 6...

Hey guys any of you lot still going? I gave up for a few weeks had loads on which just made dieting impossible! But I started again today and even have vowed to give up the vino for the next few weeks which should hopefully help shift a few pounds! Still hoping to lose a stone by April but if I...

Well I lost a pound but think I was dehydrated when I weighed myself due to the amount of wine I consumed over the weekend! Off the chart syns wise and then when I have a few drinks in me I start the snacking aghhhh! Back on it yesterday and today unfortunately I think I'm coming down with...

Amazingly I lost a pound despite drinking all weekend and having takeaway last night! Naughty! Back on it properly today though I've gotta stay away from the wine!!! Hope everyone has done better than me:-)

Well amazingly I have lost 1lb this week which is rubbish for week one but I have been terrible this weekend-had a bottle of wine each night consumed lots of bread and had takeaway with my family last night boo! So really im lucky not to have gained anything! Back on it today with gusto aghhhhh...

Yr gym program sounds hardcore! Keep at it! You don't have one of those personal trainers do you that make you feel like you are never working hard enough haha! I hate the thought of going to the gym but feel so much better after going. Did spinning last night and spinning plus circuits tonight...

That's so reassuring to hear. I want to lose around 2 stone before April and was sure I would be able to do it in such a short time frame- you have given me new hope:-) what date is yr birthday? Mines 13th April- lucky to be on a Saturday night this year! My friend wants a joint party I'm not...

Blimey 1 bottle over 5 nights! I can only ever stretch a bottle to four glasses (more often than not I polish it of in 3 glasses) have rediscovered soda water recently though to try and make it last longer-dont like diluting my wine though:-( I must admit I am enjoying it a lot more after...

I'm loving your style of a slightly flexible wine style Friday:-) that's what I'm going to call it too! I'm off to get another glass! Likely to finish the bottle I think:-/ had no other syns today though and I've done 2 spinning classes and a circuit class so shouldn't do too much damage...

That's fab well done! X x

Hey, How's yr week continuing? A twirl isn't that bad! And definitely isn't bad if you went to the gym to compensate! That's the one thing I don't get about sw - you don't get rewarded for exercising (ie a sneaky few extra syns allowed!) I've been for a walk today - did about 5k then I did 30...

Hiya Sam, Well done with your week so far - the wii fit is a good thing to have around especially in winter! I went for a 2 hour walk today with my poor child wrapped up in the pram- he was well narky by the time we got back (it had started snowing by this point) felt good though! Did a half...

Same here haha- I've been know to crack open a second bottle as well! Serious wine issues! Trying to hold off til weekend now got a house party to go to - will see how restrained I can be:-)

I love running outdoors as well but not done it for ages! Did a half marathon in aug 2010 and not really done much since then-had grand plans to do a triathalon but then got pregnant and very lazy apparently:-) work was ok was just a flying visit (2 hours of everyone fighting for cuddles with...

Yeah daddy always gets the smiles and the cuteness! Think they get sick of the sight of us all day everyday! My other half just plays with him each day for about 15mins- rarely puts him to bed or any of the other mean things so thomas thinks he's awesome! A free crèche at the gym- that's well...

Hey, I'm doing sw as well- not going to meetings or anything I have anyways been able to find the info i need online so trying to save the pennies! Been for a swim to tonight after Thomas went to bed- so much easier to do stuff now he has a regular bedtime! I try to go for walks during the day...

Ahh don't be dreading it we are still young - wait til we are heading towards 50 then ill be depressed haha! Day one of diet going well, just been and swam a mile as well first time I've done that in years! Sat here now with an options hot choc trying to resist the urge for wine:-) hope you guys...

Hiya Michelle, Congrats on the birth of your son! I have a little boy who is 5 months called Thomas and although he wasn't planned he is the best thing to have ever happened to us:-) I'm in the same boat as you though need to lose nearly 2 stone before I turn 30 in April aghhh. Would be great...

Hey guys I've restarted sw from home today! I have a 5 month old baby and have started a diet pretty much every week since he was born with very little success! I turn 30 in April so determined to lose at least a stone by then if not more! Would be great to keep in touch with others on here fit...

I'm just starting tomorrow but would love to join for my weekly weigh ins from now on- hopefully will spur me to stick to it for longer than 2 days at a time ha! Good luck for tomorrow for all your weigh ins.

My biggest downfall is wine- I just can't give it up. Over Christmas I pretty much ad a bottle of wine every night. If I didn't drink I would be super skinny ha! Trying to hold off til next weekend now- sat here with a hot vimto:-(

Hey, nice to see people are in the same boat. I turn 30 in April and need to lose just under 2 stone post baby aghhh! My son is 5 months old and I've started a diet every week pretty much but normally cave due to the lure of wine!! My biggest downfall! Would be good to chat on here to try and...
