amazing! kudos to you! i too have found that UD's are just as important - 'normal' is a new thing for me too, who would have thought that you just dont need all that much food? weird, but great!

Ladybird I heard that men lose weight a lot faster than women so I may not be the best example for you. Plus my loss is slowing so initial stats may look amazing but that was never going to be the case long term. Like my diary title says I am really here for the long term, I could starve myself...

No#1 rule: hungry is okay! reeeealy hungry and you can probably go another hour... No#2 rule: on UD's there is full and there is crazy full! (crazy full is baaad...) No#3 rule: I could kinda do this forever, happy days :D

Oh and eating in secret too, still having trouble with that one, I'm counting it and it's fine but that cake is still eaten in the bedroom :sigh:

Hi everyone I'm Levin and Ive lost 18lbs in the last six weeks doing 5:2 ( a variation of JUDD) and Ive finally maybe got my brain in gear as to maybe why I gained so much weight over the past 10 years. I was eating so much and with such gusto that I never saw it coming! It was maybe a side...

thank you Sofartogo! I too have a long way to go and havent really set any goals, just seeing the numbers on the scales go down every week is as much as I can hope for. I remember a medical when I was around 20 and I was 95kgs (14s 8), I felt good then and so I reckon I'll aim for that. Only...

Hi ladybird thanks for posting! I try to properly fast. On a monday for example (DD) I won't eat from 7pm Sunday night til 7pm or so Monday, then have a really light meal. Then again I wont eat a full meal til Tuesday night what with being busy at work and quite into the whole idea that the...

Hello good evening! Weigh in again and one lb off this week. Much less than before but still great! I was quite slack on my counting for DD's this week, food came to 600 but then there was the oil I used and some milk etc etc, quite slack of me and a good lesson. i need to get back to...

Hello hello. Friday weigh in time. This morning I was down 4 pounds. I was shocked! Five weeks into this and since Jan 14th (my first fast day) I am down from 18 st 6 to 17 st 3. My trousers are starting to slip a bit too. Need to get a tape to start measuring myself as it must be inches by now...

Hello! Weigh-in time this morning, 3lbs this week which is very very cool :) I'm convinced Im just not eating that much and yet having whatever I want, I just don't want it so much anymore. Brain training without really trying ! yesterday's DD was so hard at one point. Having not eaten since...

hello, sorry forgot to post my weigh in yesterday. 2Lbs more off which is great.it's where I want to be and 1-2 pounds a week is how I want to do it. very strange as I've been off all week and been extremely lazy. None of those walks came good! Back to walking to and from work next week hurrah...

I read the first death Note, its awesome! Other than that Totoro is my hero and Howl's Moving Castle is one of my fave film. (love Ghibli)

Hi Sharon thanks for the support, keep at it, kebabs and drink is okay honestly! Stay hardcore on your fast days and we'll all get to where we want to be! much love Levin x

thats amazing! congrats foddier! I genuinely think that the weight loss doesnt come from fasting, it comes from reduced calories as a total over 7 days. dont go nuts on up days but do eat whatever you want, I had a bottle of wine last friday and 2 cakes over the week too, also Galaxy ripple is...

wise words Hannata thank you. I know it won't always be like this and I'm playing the long game. and thanks Welshmamma and Sammfa too. :)

Good luck sam! the best thing for me after only two weeks is I am not deprived of anything and am really quite enjoying the fast days meaning Im not so hungry on up days even. seven pounds in my first two weeks and bmi down from 35 to 34. Have fun on your up days just dont to too nuts, theres...

Hi Foddier weigh in was amazing! seven pounds in two weeks! might stick to a two week weigh in for a bigger spur! Im glad you feel better - I feel good too - the best bit being I'm just not that hungry on up days even - I eat dont get me wrong but I just dont want as much as I used to think I...

So Weigh-in this morning. start weight (14th Jan) 18st6, today: 17st13 - SEVEN POUNDS!!!! woo-woo, so excited by this. I know a lot will be water but my BMI is down from 35 to 34 and I am loving the new regime, 2 days hardcore fast and still wine and cake sometimes. First two weeks a huge...

Hi Sharon oops, dont mean to offend anyone, the bar can be at 40 or 50 or 80, its just time for me to do something about it! I eat normally on Up days but an actual normal, not my previous normal! the past year I got into a habit of not eating much all day but then having cake and chocolate...

Hello - so my 4th fast day, about to have dinner at 7pm but Ive been doing a mental "just a couple more hours" all day and I want to carry on! it is far far easier for me to have nothing but water and a couple of coffees - today they had the teeniest bit of milk, finding it hard to switch to no...

Hi everyone - thanks for all the positive comments! Welshmamma Im doing straight 5:2 Mondays and Thursdays with weigh in on Friday morning. Last week I split my calories all day but I find if I eat breakfast/lunch I'm actually hungrier all day, plus I'm really into the idea of fasting...

Hello Im a week into 5:2 and need somewhere to ramble, please join in if you wish! Ive never dieted before and this year I really have to take it seriously. I dont think Ive ever been as big as this and bread has been my killer/best friend (pick one!) for years. er Im a guy and Im 38 so need...

The book is very useful as I dont know a lot of stuff about dieting, this is the first time Ive ever counted calories for example. I like that it has more on the science and the 'how to' of 5:2 and lots of testemonials for inspiration. Because 5:2 is such a simple idea and ultimately flexible...

Oh and my 5:2 book (Moseley) has arrived! weekend reading sorted.

Lemon and ginger hot water sounds amazing! this will be my first weekend since starting and even though Im not fasting til Monday (do Mon Thurs) Im worried I'll just crack open the wine and sit about eating crisps and pastries! I might not weigh myself until Friday morning (post DD) - a Friday...

they are like the sachets but you add water to the line, lots available but I love the Alpen fruit and nuts one. I got them purely as its easy to count calories with them, from 190-240 each so have two and youre done :) today though I had 3 coffees all day and kept pushing my eating later and...

tomorrow is my second 500 day too! porridge tubs locked and loaded :) Ive been counting cals: Mon 500 tues 1700 weds1400 I think something has switched in my brain honestly, good news!

I'm doing it, had my first fast day yesterday, found it quite easy really, today I didnt eat that much as my brain is learning that hungry is okay!
