Hello, all - thought I'd stop by and keep a diary here seeing as I am having a go at fasting 2 days a week - this is similar to JUDDD I think, so is it okay if I post here?
Little introduction: I'm Claire, I'm 27, mummy to Isla who will be 4 on the 29th of this month and about to enter my 2nd year of a teaching degree at Uni of Hertfordshire
I am currently roughly 11st...when I started uni I was 9st 9lbs! Ooops. Gained my fresher's 15! I want to get back to a weight where I am comfortable. In the past I have lost weight on weight watchers - discovery and pro points but I've found this time round that the structure is so hard to follow - I just don't seem to be able to do it. I watched the Horizon programme, got intrigued and here I am My mother and father in law to be are following it at the moment, and so far have lost 4lbs in 2 weeks - let's hope have similar success!
Yesterday was not a fasting day, think I averaged 1700 - 1800 calories without counting. Today is my first fast - my fast days will be Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have estimated calories - too lazy to use a calculator so I tend to over estimate. If I finish this week without losing I'll rethink this strategy
On waking - large cup of tea with sweetener and skim milk - 20
Mid morning - coffee with sweetener and skim milk - 20
1.00pm - Tin ww chicken soup - 92
Sliced tomato dipped in ff thousand island dressing - 30
Sliced apple - 50
Coffe with skim milk and sweetener - 20
4.00pm - 6 small silverskin onions - 10
6.00pm - Chunks of melon and grapes pot - 60
8.00pm - 1 quorn fillet - 46
Steamed spring greens, green beans and broccoli - 70
Small amount of gravy - 15
SF Jelly - 10
Tea with skim milk and sweetener - 20
1 bourbon biscuit - 68
TOTAL: 531
So I went a little bit over, but think my calories were over yesterday so don't think it will be too bad. I think I probably underestimated my green veg - it was a rather large portion, but I'm not too concerned as it was veg for heaven's sake and I'm not going to start weighing my broccoli!!!
Just thought I'd also add, I'm on day 2 of giving up smoking...I know, I know, I must be nuts and a sucker for punishment...I've done nothing but want to eat all day and not smoking either has been hard - I totally do NOT want to be a smoker any more, so I am happy not to smoke and proud of myself for going 48 hours without a fag but ***** it's been hard restricting cals too!
Well, off to enjoy my biscuit and cup of tea before I go to bed Looking forward to being a healthier, thinner version of myself

I figure the calories will be minimal and I've done a lot of walking today so hope it won't make too much of a difference. Well looking forward to my UD tomorrow, woohoo!
