Getting back to Target
Hi everyone, thought I'd like to join this band of happy SW 5:2ers.....
I'm SWing with 3 fast days, have been since middle of November, (18 weeks) and have lost 18lb since combing the 2 - I know it doesn't sound like a huge amount, but I've always been happy with a 1lb a week, having said that, I have had 3 gains in that time - a week away on business - loads of free food & drink on expenses, Christmas/New Year, and a family week off where I ate & drank everything in sight , unrestricted, certainly not SW friendly and without any fasting, so, it could have been better if I'd been on track completely!!
I'm eating all SW meals, and aim for 100syns per week - foodwise, it's really not a problem, but I do like my beer, whiskey & cider!!!
I know if I didn't fast, I would have only 70syns a week, and would drink that on a Friday night down the pub!! So having the extra lets me have the odd few treats on top, although, I must admit, sometimes I eat SW meals, and don't count any syns at all
I fast completely Sun, Tues & Thurs, I eat my evening meal, and supper on my feast day, and do not eat again until breakfast on my next feast day, so that's around 30-36 hours.
On my fast days I have black coffee, diet drinks, herbal tea and bovril.
I too look forward to my fast days, and as I said, am more than happy with a small average loss of a 1lb a week.
I don't bother with MFP, as its all a bit of a faff, the advantage of SW is the lack of weighing stuff (except healthy extras & syns if course)
I eat plenty, and am never hungry with SW, but I know, like others have posted that, once I start to eat, I would want to continue, hence not eating on at all on a DD - it's just easier for me.
Anyway, feast day today, hope you're all having a good day, whether you're feasting or fasting (I call them up days & down days lol)
