Fasting on consecutive days

[Lexie2005]

I'm new to this.... I lost 7.5 stone last year but have been yoyoing with a stone since December & decided to give this a go. I've bought the Michael Moseley book but admit I've not read it just skimmed & although I know it doesn't recommend consecutive days my mum is doing one from the daily mail & she fasts 2 days together. It would work for me this way. Any advice?

I know one of the 5/2 books recommends consecutive fasting days but i cant imagine it, i know on the juddd forum lots people tried consecutive days and many found it derailed them.

well done on your incredible weight loss so far

Thanks for your reply, I've decided to do Monday & Wednesday or Thursday cos I can't imagine now 2 days running. And thank you I'm certainly happy with my loss

Have gone for Monday & Wednesday & although I only fasted one day last week I'm 7lb down from last weeks Monday weigh in but I had gained 12lbs in 3 weeks so some of that will have been water & some totm weight but I'm still very happy

Yep it is & I'm so looking forward to breakfast! Official weigh in this morning was 11:10:6 so that's a loss of around 5lb since Friday & 9lbs since I started last Monday. Weigh in from now will be a Tuesday. I'm now only 5lb up from my lowest 8 weeks ago & 10.6lbs from my goal. I'm feeling very in control & am liking this 5:2 thing lol... I will say though i'd gained a lot very quickly & it does tend to come off quickly when I do that so I'm expecting it to slow right down now but of I can lose 1lb a week every week I'll be happy & where I want to be when I go on my hols
