Starting tomorrow, Will someone please be my diet pal?!

[BeckyBrandon]

I'm marrying DP next year and I don't want to look like a walrus!! I've got an ocado shop coming tomorrow full of stuff for this diet.

I really am a bit rubbish with this kind of thing and would love a diet pal? pleeeeeease

I will - need to lose the 3 stone I seem to have acquired over the years due to having children and packing up smoking

bought the book weeks ago but haven't opened it yet

which says are you planning on fasting?

DAYS not says

Hi, I will happily be your diet pal! I was lurking on the main 5:2 one but there are too many people. Am currently 12stone 3lb which is over two stone overweight for my five foot five body. This is my third week, sixth day on Thursday, of 5:2ing.
I am semi sulking as since last Saturday, ten days ago, I've apparently just lost one measly lb but am trying to be positive and follow my own advice and ignore scales (I don't actually own any, I went to Boots.)

Hi Whojamaflip I'm planning on doing Mondays and Wednesdays (but not tomorrow) What days were you planning on doing. I'm excited!!! bet I won't be by next week though

Hey babysaurus! Oh gosh, boots scales of shame I have some scales but not used them in about 2 years I'm PETRIFIED about getting on them to start this. was thinking about doing it by dress sizes! Not a brilliant way to monitor weekly weight loss though.

I've just downloaded my fitness pal app, hopefully it will help with keeping track of calories.

Mondays sound fine but I will prob do Thursdays instead of Wednesdays - mums group which has cake on that day

think I will start this Thursday before I lose my nerve!

have just weighed myself and I'm 11 stone 13 so need to lose 2 stone ( better than I thought )

2 1/2 would be better though

OH gosh, how I will miss cake. I think i'll have to go cold turkey

We had some cherry bakewells in the cupboard and they are my FAV. I've made DP eat all 3 of them because I didn't want them sat there tomorrow when I start

Good luck to those fasting tomorrow! My only tip is to be organised and remember you can treat yourself the day after if you want to!

Very tired now, will post properly tomorrow

Can I join? My third FD today and hasn't been too bad. Think I will weigh myself after Thursday FD. Got about 3 to lose as well but I'm liking this already. Really want it to work.

Of course you can Natural What did you eat for your fast day? Good luck :)

Hi
Would love to join you. I need to lose 1.5-2stone. Really feel like this one could be for me. Going to start on Monday as my mum is staying this week.
How has today gone Becky?

I had chicken breast and broccoli, I love that sort of thing anyway (just too much!)
It's funny how I don't feel very hungry after a FD, although the weather might influence that.

Today has gone ok, I started with porridge, then had a bagel for lunch and will have tuna and veggies for dinner.

I've got weight watchers cheese puffs, a low cal hot choc and a sugar free jelly for snacks. Wanted to save snacks for tonight but have already eaten the cheese puffs, Oops

I think the major think with me is the amount I snack. So that's going to be the hard part to pack in

Can I join too. I have some post pregnancy weight to lose but can't budge it. About 10lbs.

Failed my first fast last week due to having something too early at 7am - found I was starving by late afternoon. Then gave up!

Second fast was about 200 over the 500 mark.

Today I'm doing better. Just had last bit of food so need to last till bedtime now

Today I had

lunch - soft boiled egg with smoked salmon and asparagus

Tea - chicken leg, humous, mixed seeds, tons of mixed salad with avocado, beetroot, cucumber, carrots etc

Melon - snack

First fast day tomorrow

Hoping to be able to have just black coffee in the morning then save my calories to eat later on.

My biggest concern is going to bed hungry.

I', going to do a fast day tomorrow as well whoja decided on wednesdays and fridays.

I'm going to try and do the same, coffee, water or sparkling water all day, then a snack for lunch, something small for dinner and another snack later on.

Not looking forward to it tbh, I think DP is looking forward to me doing it even less

Ohhh that sounds good formicadinosaur What is humous like for calories?

Hi,
I've been doing this since jan and got below 9 stone. My target is 8 and a half.

I was doing so well until we relocated to South Korea a few weeks ago. All my time has gone into the relocation, but I have just been excepted to the London marathon in April so need to get back on track.

I'm doing 4:3. Monday, wed and Fridays.

I do a total fast. 5pm until 7pm the following day. 26 hours pure fast.

I tend to eat the same meals on fast days. So it's easy and I can prepare.

Good luck to you all

Barbie1 do you eat a normal dinner at 7pm and before 5pm?

Just finished lunch - mixed salad leaves, one grated carrot, 3 cherry toms, 2 slices cooked chicken and a splash of raspberry vinegar - 159 cals according to mfp

been drinking black coffee and water with lemon slices all day - could murder a choccy bar tho

only 9 hours till bedtime

For example I would eat 'normally' on Sunday. Then I would have dinner at about 5pm with the children. This would be a normal dinner.

I would the completely fast, bar diet drink or sugar free zero cal drinks until Monday evening around 7pm where I will sit and eat my 500 cals with my husband who is also doing is diet (or way of life if you prefer

That would be my lot, until breakfast on Tuesday where I would resume normal eating, if this make any sense?

i have found myfitnesspal.com quite helpful and more importantly free. so if you can bother to log your intake and exercise - it may be helpful

Can I join please? I need to lose about 2.5 stone . I used to be a slim size 8-10 but 3 children in 6 years soon buggered that up! I was thinking of doing Tuesdays and Thursdays and would definitely like some 'meal' advice. I eat fish but not meat

Oh damn whoja you're fasting today, I failed to look at the date when you posted

Wow Barbie, you have more discipline then me!! Fantastic stuff though and congratulations on getting accepted for the marathon!!

freedom I've been using that as well, it is absolutely brilliant!!

The more the merrier xigris

Galaxy low cal chocolate orange hot chocolate and 10 mini marsh mellows is only 60 calories....

Dinner was a salmon fillet with cracked black pepper, 12 roasted cherry toms and a huge pile of mixed salad leaves - 254 cals

so......I have 87 cals to "spend" - I want chocolate and am craving something sweet - any ideas what 87 cals will buy me?
