Does anyone here do crossfit? I go 3 times a week but I can't seem to find an eating plan to help me lose the pounds. My body just seems to want to hold on! I tried the low carb high fat plan that exerciser push but it's quite repetitive & I found my self wasting dinners cos I wasn't hungry...

Weekend was another not so good one! Meant to go out for works do. Drinks n meal. Felt rotten from my cold so blew them out bit they made me feel bad so went after they ate just for 'one'. Ended up a bottle wine & bit later! Doh!!! Banging headache Sunday. Why oh why!!!! Looking forward to a...

Fast 18 was a breeze! Weigh in this morning! 3lb down. Whoop whoop! Think I'm still 1 or 2 lb off my weekly target but catching up from my Xmas gain!!!

I know! Very exciting. Feel like all I'm talking about at the mo Is weddings & hen dos!!! Been trying to find a barn big enough for 12 this week but at a decent price! Think I found one now! I spoke to her today about the dress, not sure how serious she thinks I am. But she coming to a dress...

Fab! Well done you!

I keep looking at the picture of the dresses. I asked for a size 16 as I'm a avg 18 now. But to be honest I prob need an 18 at this rate. Another fast today & I'm in bed but my tummy is rumbling. I think I need to take measurements as I feel my losses are slowing down & this is going to...

Another blow out weekend. Yesterday we went shopping & ended up in Burger King. I didn't even think to have a healthier meal..... Long overdue girls night out last night. Totally wasted. How ever did throw up 3 times this morning, so does it still count? Lol Didn't manage to eat anything...

Omg Total FAT day!!! 2 cream doughnuts Toast n butter Plus dinner Now bag of sweet n salted popcorn......

Yesterday's fast went ok. My hands were extra cold even though I was plugging away in PC for most day. Must take hot water bottle into work for fast days!!! Weighed in today. Lost 1/4 lb!!!! Still a loss I guess. Just desperate to get into the 17's!!! Still 2lbs to go..... Come on!!!!!!

Great! Thanks x

Not a daft question. TDEE is your total daily energy expenditure Basically it is the number of cals you need to maintain your weight. As your doing 2 500 cal days you can eat to maintain on the other 5 and still have a calorie deficit. It's important that you eat well on your non fast days so...

You need to calculate your TDEE. Everyone is different. I think mine is 2300 ish. I did count yesterday on a feast day for a change and came in around 2200. Here's what I had Cheese & ham sarnie with salad cream Cheese & onion crisps 100g grapes Muller corner Sausage pasta bake with a bit...

I just ordered some paste thru tesco. I love itsu products though! Where do you buy your itsu stuff from. I'm not near London so can't pop to their shops!

Good luck! Make sure you let us know how you are getting on!

Oooooo thanks! Just ordered miso paste!

Good luck!!! You will do great here! X

Managed to not eat till 1 today, trial of fast days at work! I tracked my cals for a change today just to check what I was eating vs what I think I'm eating calorie wise. Lunch was Cheese n ham salad cream sarnie 100g grapes Cheese n onion crisps Muller corner Average lunch yer...

No it's a golf club. But a small one that hasn't taken off on the wedding larky yet . They have only done a few. I think I've gotten over it now. Their loss, their business. Think we found another venue now. However it's the same place my sis got married :-/. She had her whole day there...

On a down note My maternity leave ends today :-(. Gutted. Wondering if that's made today more difficult for me. I'm going back to same group but different office so kinda starting a new job. They poached me so they are excited for me to start just hope I'm really cut out for it & don't let...

Fast #14 Urgh struggled today. Felt bit sick/dizzy about 10, nearly caved in and ate but had another coffee & big glass of squash. Lunchtime tried a chicken bovril drink which really did take the edge away. Took boys to toddler group for a couple hours. Came home & cooked tea. Cooked boys &...

Fast day!!!!! Need it after the weekend!!! Really testing 5:2 this weekend!

Cheers ? Took the boys swimming today & popped into town after for some bits. Before we knew it it was 4.30! Had to pop to supermarket on way home for mince for spaghetti Bol but vs till then had a 20 min journey home plus cooking time and no2 son was starting to get hungry. At 8 months old...

Weighed in yesterday. Lost 1.2lbs

How so you know your fat loss etc. Do you have fat scales? I have read mixed reviews in accuracy in the readings. Can you recommend yours?

Dinner......

Hello peeps! *waves* Can imagine doing back to back. My motto is what I can't have today I can have tomo. So I think I would crack knowing I had another fasting day tomo. But good luck to those that can! Lady couple days been up n down food wise. The blooming buscuits always get me...

Really? You have not tried this? Lol. It's blooming lovely!!! Ha ha!!!

Hey. How ya doing?

Also have downloaded a pic from my model diet.com and saved it as my phone screen saver. There is a virtual me at this weight & one at my target weight! I find it motivational . Once I figure out how to upload pictures I'll do so!!!

As I said before manage to control my snacking down today. Didn't eat until 11, Then had 2 toast peanut bitter & jam Crumpet About 2pm Hula hoops & snack packet Oreos (eating on the go) Then chicken roast! :-) Not bad I don't think!!!

Hi ya, Yes the health part of it fascinates me. I'm really hoping I can get my blood pressure down so I can get off these meds! I'm still a newbie at this so my only tips would be use my fitness pal to log for fast days. I don't count on non fast days yet. When I hit a plateau then I will...

Tried to gain a bit more control today. 4 crumpets for brekkie. Lasted till lunch. Using up Xmas Brie we had bacon & Brie baguettes. Half a foot long one. & bloody Jaffa cakes! Some cheesy biscuits & treat size haribos. Tea was BBQ ribs, jacket spud, salad & coleslaw. Not a great...

Hello!!!!

Yes if only I could resist to a once a week weigh in it wouldn't be so bad! I feel like I've had a terrible day today. Day after fast I feel I could eat everything!! Started with 2 crumpets, but really wanted 3. Coffee..... Fine. Then finished off Jaffa cakes. About 4 of them late morning...

Omg! I'm such a failure.!!!! Lol Darling fiancée let me have scales last night to weigh a parcel I'm sending. Well he forgot to taken them back! So yes I scale hopped this morning!!! Thankfully shows a 3lb lost!! Whoopee!! 9 in total. Will have to confess later lol

No I've done slimming works too many times & to be honest I do find it restrictive. Like you can eat as much as you like on foods but anything off that is really high in syns. I also find it's boring. I start off great but few weeks later start to rebel. But it obviously works for you so...

WOW that is awesome!!!! totally hammered that first week!! well done!!!

hey Mizcrafty how you getting on? im now on my 11th fast today, and im finding I can hold off eating till tea time now, which I never thought I was able to do!! hope its still going ok for you!

Hello!!! :) How are you all? Sarah - how you getting on. I bought 6 weeks of exante in the bid to do 2/3 weeks at start of jan to get the weight moving...... I had a couple of packs and then had the sheps pie, and gagged!!! lol. I did exante a couple of years ago and lost a stone or so in a...

Weighed this morning & scales haven't moved since last fast. Was a bit disappointed but then shouldn't weigh more than once a week! Doh! Just to make myself feel better I have decided to change my starting weight! Before I started this early dec it was to see if it worked, if I liked it. I put...

Hey peeps. There's not many threads on here when I came here looking for inspiration. Guess this plan really needs to get more out there. It doesn't even have it's own forum! Lol Anyway, I started this on 8th dec. after a family pic of us visiting Santas grotto. I looked huge! Promised myself...

No it doesn't hurt to have a takeaway. If I was Having a takeaway I would prob fast for as long as I could that day & enjoy the takeaway in the evening. That way less cals & more likely to enjoy all the more. This plan will not keep you in ketosis though. You just get to enjoy food!

It's great. & yer it's slower but your more likely to keep it off. You just eat normally for 5 days. Up to your TDEE, mines about 2300 cals which is loads so I just eat as I would at the mo. 500 cal days are hard to start but I did my 8th fast yesterday & I was fine after a 95 cal snack at 2...
