    Kim I think that's the best approach that's what I have done all year to (sort of) maintain - eat well during the week and freestyle at weekends.

    That's pretty much what I have decided to try for the next 2 weeks. Still do 5:2 but focus on the up days to making more foods that would be free on simply filling anyway. Not sure if eating healthier on it will actually help or hinder losses as I've heard that you actually need to eat enough...

    Enjoy your meal donna some things are more important than dieting and need a good celebratory meal. Best of luck with 5:2 Vic I was surprised how easy fast days are too, out of 4 weeks so far only 2 have been difficult and I guess that's just that on any diet you get hungry days where you want...

    Good result with a sts, it does sound like cal counting might suit you better maybe worth trying for a week or 2? I think mentally its good to find a plan that suits as then you don't have any of that guilt of being off plan - even if its something that isn't that high in cals but uses a...

    Yeh it's important to remember that the number on the scales is just something personal to us - no one looks at us and can accurately know what we weigh - they see our overall shape, size and how toned we are. So focus on that and less on the number :-) So so achey! Already had major DOMS from...
