Hi I'm new to the thread, just started back on SW at home yesterday (Mon 10th) at 10.13 Haven't done SW properly for about 4 years so looking forward to getting into it and getting back to the 9's!!!

So Monday - low carb Tuesday - fast and low carb Wednesday morning 2lbs off :-) Tonight Chinese so having as little to eat as poss today so can enjoy it later. Thursday - normal eat day Friday - fast and low carb

Due to commitments haven't been doing this but am determined to try properly until Xmas. So today is a normal day but low carb, according to my fitness pal will finish today on around 1500. Tomorrow is a fast day, plan is to miss breakfast just a coffee and then have soup for lunch and chicken...

So not stuck to this for a couple of weeks but did a proper fast day yesterday <500 cals and walked 5 miles, today feast starting with porridge. Weekend will be low/med carb before another fast on Monday

Fast day well on its way. Just Coffee and water for breakfast, lunch tesco duck salad 115 cals Dinner sushi 305 cals. So with a couple more coffees just under my 500 :-) Don't feel too hungry. Due to work need to do second fast tomorrow instead of Thursday not sure if 2 in a row is good...

So normal day today, my fitness pal says I've had around 1200 so that's not bad. Dinner was late (8:45) so will try and not eat till at least 1pm tomorrow.

Thanks I think I'll try and go till lunch (1ish) and then dinner about 7

What do people find best, fast all day and then just eat one meal in the evening or spreading the 500 cals throughout the day?

Good thanks, had my 500 cals and didn't feel too hungry. More worries about "eat normal" if nothing is off limits I will prob over eat!

Hi all, I'm going to start 5:2 tomorrow fast days will be Tuesday and Thursday (unless something comes up) I will also be low carbing on the "feast days" Monday, Wednesday and Friday and eating normally at the weekend. My stats work out at just under the 500 cals on fast days and just under...

Did my first fast day today and had around 500 calories, did it by not having much all day and then a reasonable dinner. Next one will be Thursday

Yep I think I need a full 100% SW week to see if it can work again for me. This week have too much going on with work so will be officially starting next Monday...will be keeping a diary too :-) thanks all

Thank you all for replying in some ways your all right. I did SW successfully a long time ago (-about 8 years) and then did low carb for my wedding as needed definite results thing is I love the freedom of SW but have convinced myself only low carb will work now. Maybe I need to give SW a...

So..if anyone was to look at my posts over the last few months you'll see I've been a bit of a diet jumper - could have used a much ruder word ;-) I keep switching from SW to low carb and even considered for about 5 mins the 5:2 - why can't I pick one and commit?

So official weight 10.10 So that means we need a loss of 17 lbs to take me down to 9.7. Tomorrow's plan; B: bacon and a coffee (dash of skimmed) L: chicken salad D: sausage and eggs Lots of water and hopefully a gym work out after work

So was good up to Sat night then had meal out and a wedding. Weigh in tomorrow and low carb kicks in!
