LolaLayla Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I have put on weight since my hols and really need to restart (I keep saying this I know!) I have a terrible cough just now so cannot bring myself to do it quite yet. I do know it is the only diet that really works well for me and has fab results so will start up soon.

CheekyPekins Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I don't know if this is any use but the Book People are selling the Fasting Day Cook Book for £4.99 (it's usually £15, I think) - it might help if anyone's running out of inspiration on fasting days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 After not doing the diet for a few months because of worries that it might be giving me gallstones (which is wasn't ) we, hubby & I, are going back on the diet. I'm now back up to my heaviest weight so really need to do this. I've got a wedding to go to at the beginning of October so if I could lose a couple of pounds at least I'll feel better for that. We went to a wedding at the beginning of August and I remember looking at the photos and thinking yikes I've piled on the pounds. We are also hoping to go on holiday over Christmas so that is my ultimate goal, to be fitter and leaner so I don't hate myself in a swimming costume.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Glad it wasn't causing the gallstones (do you know what was?). Hope you find it easy to follow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks ANH, I was under a lot of stress at the time and had lots going on and it was 'just' stress affecting my stomach. Hopefully I'll be able to keep on the diet this time. Doing a charity walk in a couple of weeks time too for a local hospice. I definitely need to up my exercising.

Seagazer Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ok Fast Diet first day take 2! I really hope that it works this time and I don't end up with any stomach problems. So far so good, I thought I'd try not eating any breakfast, then have low cal soup for lunch and vegetarian chilli for dinner. Hubby and I used to enjoy that last time and found it quite filling. I've got to add in my 2 cups of tea with milk though. I just can't drink black tea or fruit tea. I don't feel too hungry although I do have the rumblings (not my tummy ) of a headache brewing. Need to sift through this thread and the 5:2 website for more food ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yet another lapsed fast-dieter here, too Desperately want to get back on to this plan, no particular goal in mind, just need to get back in the zone ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well my 2 days went well this week. I found that not eating until about 1.30 ish was better than eating breakfast and then nothing until dinner time. I had a slim-a-soup which was very nice and a boiled egg which filled me up until dinner. The trouble is today I went and visited a friend and she almost force fed me a scone and clotted cream I had lost just over a 1lb this week so hopefully I can be a bit sensible this weekend (we're away at a tournament BUT it is mine and OH's wedding anniversary so I'm not going to be too sensible).

Chickvic Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hope everyone is doing well! I'm still carrying on, need to lose 1.6 lb this week to make it 4 stone lost! Still need to lose more but I find it easy to keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well done Chickvic - very impressive! I'm still going, not finding it too hard although I really must start exercising. I'm walking a lot more but I really need to do some work on my wobbly bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Started this last week with OH. Both 3lb down in one week. Long may it continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I must get back on the straight and narrow, I have lost about 9 lb on the 8 hour diet and feel a lot better for it, but have gained back a couple in the last fortnight. I am going to give 5:2 another go now that the days are shorter. We tend to eat late in the summer because of allotment duties, but in the darker months I think that I could hold out until tea time. Well done Chic Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 OMG OMG OMG I just had to tell somebody (and I know you guys will know how exciting this is ). Saw a really nice little black dress (never owned one in my life ) in Laura Ashley with 50% off. They only had a 12 not a 14 but I thought, what the heck, I'll try it on, it won't fit so I won't feel pressure to buy it... IT FITTED . So obviously I had to buy it . I then popped into Next and tried on a semi-dressy long top (to go over leggings) - size 12 - and it fitted too (and was purchased) . I'm so happy . I haven't been a 12 since a very brief period about 20 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Mixed news here. I fell of the wagon rather (blame it on a girly weekend in Aberdovey), but OH has now lost a stone. I must try harder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 That's great news ANH! Another one off the wagon here - my main excuse being that it's far too cold to fast my office is freezing and I guess it's a comfort thing. Really MUST get back into it.

Seagazer Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Well done ANH - makes it all worthwhile! We've fallen off the wagon over the last week and half as we've both been ill with tummy bugs and colds. Will get back to it though as it was working. Good news about the tummy bug though - lost a couple of pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
