I admire you both for counting so religiously . I would find this very hard to do if I counted every day 500 is so little it is easy to count for me. We all have different skill sets
Enjoy your day today whatever it brings

Well feel much better about it all now after my faste started at 5pm and I went for a 4 1/2 mile run Came home and showered and cleaned my teeth was gonna have some soup oof my 500 calories but don't feel I need it. I think part of me likes the hungry feeling as i know it is only for one day at a time
How did you both do today

My 'plan' allowed for 1600 today but ended on 852. Was trying to grab back some cals from weekend so happy with that. Managed 16 hour fast too-so happy with that. I've 2 x 800 cals days next, so trying not to get ahead of myself.
If this doesn't work (or even if it does) might try 5-5, and incorporate cal counting in that.

SO unbelievably tired :-( Going to go to bed in 10 mins just drinking some hot blackcurrant
Today was down until 5pm and i ended up not eating anything just tea and light hot choc and then at 4.30 licking the spoon when making banana bread. I am finding it so easy to juse put off eating at the moment think I am slightly addicted to that fasting feeling LOL
Now it has been an up dinner and an up breakfast and lunch then will have some soup or yogurt after running.
Hope you are ok

The 5-5 sounds too good to be true, to me. I'm not ruling anything out and I'm finding the fasting easy enough. If this works, I might mix about again.
I'm ending on 630 cals for the day and am chuffed with that. Not feeling 'slimmer' but trying not to let it get me down TOTM due in couple days-usually I feel like an elephant by now
Also keener to keep on track as the festive stuff isn't so far away now.....and I MUST lose this week!

I agree it sounds too good to be true and not sure I will lose on it but will give it the 2 weeks I promised my niece and then may be my maintenance plan .

I am doing it tomorrow too but expecting a gain :-( not sure with this 5 to 5 when to weigh. Will carry on with the 5 to 5 another week whatever the scales say

:-( 1.4 on . I think there are lots of factors in play
1) my up weekend this week was very up
2) I have switched to 5 to 5 so I am weighing after just one fast meal instead of a whole day of fasting
3) I feel bloated and have fat fingers a sure sign I am retaining fluid
4) I drank about half of what i normally drink yesterday
So I am not going to get too down about it. I will give 5 to 5 one more week and think next fridays weigh in will be a better reflection
when are you weighing G

Been having a good think about my gain this morning and have come to this conclusion I am not eating anywhere near enough fruit and veg since starting 5 to 5 . Somehow I have got it into my head that I should eat as little as possible on my fast days as 5 to 5 seems to easy. Where as before when i was doing alternates and losing brilliantly I would pack my day with fruit and veg to fill myself up. I think this may be why i am feeling bloated so back to 500 cals a day on fast mainly fruit and veg
Today will be
Banana
raspberries and yogurt
subway salad
tom and red pepper soup
Will then give it one more week and see if the scales go the right way or it is back to alternates for me

I've sent u a PM.
Arrggghh-I've STS!!
Honestly, I've been really good. Less than 700 last 2 days which is pretty much a DDD, as I've ran twice each day. BUT today is TOTM, so I'm gonna grit my teeth and plod on and re-weigh Sunday. yesterday I was over 1lb off, so that ,it's be it.
