So plans for this week have changed. I am not counting calories (except on fast days). And I am not daily weighing. I'm actually going to revert to my slimming world weigh in on a Tuesday as my official weigh in, and put my scales away.
I have to move away from obsessing about the detail. As I read somewhere, "fat is like a stray dog, feed it and it will stay". Keep it simple.
So this week:
I will do 2-3 fast days of under 600 cals (sun, tues and optional thurs)
I will eat 3 healthy meals and one snack if needed on the other days.
I will enjoy Friday as my most indulgent day as I'm out for dinner.
I will exercise most days, and continue to drink water.
Done.

Just been stalking you!! You're doing so so well, glad the fasting seems to be working well for you. Ill def be watching with interest
Stalk away! I was doing well until this eve, but one indulgent eve won't kill me!!!
How are you doing?
Yeah that's the great thing about fasting, the odd indulgent day won't do you any harm and probably keeps you from getting bored!
Sounds like a good plan just weighing weekly and not counting cals. Think it'll make it easier on you.
You feeling much better than you were?

So after my sugar attack last night which ended on about 3000 cals!!!!! Over 1000 cals of sugary junk!!!! I was in binge mode this morning - absolutely craving sugary rubbish. But I resisted!!!
Partly helped by a burst pipe! I went downstairs to make a coffee and noticed water flooding down the deck in my garden. The tap to the mains wouldn't turn so I went (in my pjs!) to my neighbour who got out a wrench & oil but still couldn't turn it so I phoned Wessex water and then my dad who kindly informed me there was a valve under my sink that would turn off all the water to the garden. Done. By the time I finished seeing Wessex water, running around like a loon and other general stuff (like moving the poor guinea pigs who were in the flood path!) it was midday and I'd forgotten all about my sugar cravings!
I'm now taking 5 in Costa with a soya latte before getting on with my fast day. Phew!
But I did morning weigh (before all the drama) and was only 1lb up. I'm now putting away my scales and hoping I can shift that and one more before weigh in on Tues.

I'm thinking of doing the Exante 1200 cal diet during the week, having one or 2 600 days and then one or two slightly higher days at the weekend.
The reason for this is I have a lot of packs to use up, the convenience during the working day of packs is great and it still allows me enough cals to exercise.
I'm thinking something like
Mon - 1200 (3 packs & 400-600 cal meal)
Tues - 600 (3 packs), weigh in
Wed - 1200
Thurs - 1200
Fri - 1800
Sat - 1800
Sun - 600
That averages out to 1200 a day, uses up my packs, allows exercise and gets me in the habit of 5:2. I'm going to try it for 2 weeks and see. Fingers crossed!
Right, no more messing. I'll do a weigh in on Tues, then this for 2 weeks with daily exercise, then record my results at the end. I do like a nice clear short term goal.
I'd like to move to a clean, sugar free diet without counting on non fast days eventually but I need to get rid of some of these packs first! Plus this will get me into some good habits re weekends & evening meals, and then my next goal can be sorting breakfasts & lunches!

Tues 27th Jan
Fast day and weigh in day -1.5lbs
Ex: 13788 steps
Water 1.5 litres (got to get this back up to 2...particularly on a fast day!)
B - soya latte
L - Exante toffee nut & raisin bar
T - Exante spag bol pack + slim fettuccini
Cals: 600
First time I've had slim pasta. Didn't taste of anything but the texture was weird...much chewier than I was expecting...sort of like a weird overly al dente texture. Anyway v filling, especially for the cals.

me too lovely
I will love it too. I'm nervous if I'm honest about eating so many calories on non fast days.but we both have our August summer hoildays to look forward too. I Have booked now we jet off on the 19th August how about you?
So im hoping 5:2 will get me to target in 6 months.
Well ell done on your weight loss I new you'd be fab at it. X
