My 5:2 Diary (didn't get to goal in 2014 - planning on getting there in 2015!)

2015 for goal!!
Hello everyone!!

Well I started off 2014 fully focused on Slimming World. I lost 1.5 stone, however I met my OH early this year and we only see each other on weekends (due to living 3 hours away from each other!) :-( so weekends are spent eating out, having drinks etc and I found SW really hard to continue. So....after doing some research on the 5:2 plan and reading some very inspirational diaries on here, I have now embarked on my 5:2 journey and I'm hoping to make 2015 MY year!

I am planning on fasting Mondays and Wednesdays. Tomorrow is my 2nd week and in my first week I lost 4.5lbs. I really think this plan will suit my lifestyle much better than SW, however I'm planning to loosely follow SW on my non-fast days.

I'm not going to call my non-fast days "feast days" as I'll lose the run of myself and eat loads! lol....

Fingers crossed this is my last every attempt at losing weight!!!

I think following SW on your non fast days is a great idea as you already know it works and i think the 5:2 diet is more suitable for you as like u said u have a busy weekend so the two fast days will compensate for your higher food intake at weekends xx its obviously working for u as u have had a great loss this first week x good luck and well done x
 
Thanks Blades... I'm actually really excited about it going to fast two days this week and then enjoy Christmas before kicking it all off again...

Hi Fi - I think there might be something in doing it on mon and weds. I do it mon tues to get it out the way but always overeat on weds because I'm craving food like mad! Think I might switch after Christmas :)
 
I couldn't do B2B fast days Blondcat so fair play to you I like that I'm starting my week with a fast as my weekend food isn't great... I'll have to move some Wednesday fasts to Thursdays but I can cope with that I really like how this way of eating fits around my way of life. I can't wait for my "real" journey to begin in January without the temptation of Christmas goodies everywhere

Well done xx
 
Good morning diary My last weigh in was 18th December and I was dreading hopping on the scales this morning I had an amazing Christmas and new year. I ate and drank and didn't worry about the scales. I weighed in this morning and was only up 5lbs. I'm over the moon as I was expecting at least twice that...

So I'm back on it. The first fast of 2015... Woo hoo I will post my food later. Good luck everyone.

First day done and dusted - woo hoo. Went over by 68cals, but I'm more than happy with that!

Today I had:
2 crackerbread, cheese, 1 tomato = 89cals
1 red bull (my weakness!!!) = 113cals
Soup with noodles = 362cals
Sugar free jelly = 4cals
Total = 568 cals

Roll on tomorrow - going to eat "normal". No feast days until the weekend ;-)

Going to bed because I'm starving ;-)
Nite all
