Anyone else calorie cycling?

So I’ve come back to calorie cycling (800 cals mon to thurs, 1800 fri to sun). It’s the only thing that’s ever worked for me.

I feel hungry today so the prospect of only 800 when I’m hungry at 7am is a bit daunting 😂

I’ve got 15 weeks before I go on a fabulous holiday for my wedding anniversary. I’d love to lose at least a stone during that time. Feels doable!

I think I need to do this. I need to calorie count because otherwise I eat far too much, but I also need some flexibility in my life. Do you just do the 2 amounts, or do you vary daily?

I’ve got 11 weeks til we go on holiday and I could be very happy with a stone off in that time as well.

I generally just do the 800 during the week and 1800 on the weekend. I try to keep it easy! Sometimes if I had a social occasion during the week I’d have more and then I know I owe it back (usually on the Sunday!) but I try and keep it as easy as possible!

I was thinking about doing this so i don't feel deprived over the weekend. My plan is 1000 Mon to Thursday and 1500 fr,sat,sun.
Are you starting today?

I’m on week 2. I lost 2lbs last week (and had a very busy sociable weekend!)
