It is much harder when the kids are off I'll agree with that. Keep the chin up, you're doing brilliantly!

Still 2lb up on last Saturday official weigh in. I don't know what the hell is going on. Only one more fast till official weigh day. So looking like a gain.

I blame the weather warmer weather always makes me retain water

 

[Rachgleeson]

It must be that. Well I am hoping so anyway.

Been thinking all morning and I think I am going to go back to 5:2. The 4:3 just isn't worth all the stress and I am obviously not losing any more for doing it. Also going to up the calories a bit again as I am sure I haven't been eating enough. So that's my plan for now.

From when I did the fasting 4:3 worked better than 5:2 .. On 4:3 I constantly lost 300g most weeks sometimes more but I was having 600/700 kcals on fast days rather than the 500 kcals.

I think do what works for you. You could well still lose this week so don't write it off yet either. If it's making you stressed then definitely go back to 5.2. I read a really good article this week that all diets work but it's about finding the one you can stick to xx

Maybe doing 4:3 but with extra calories might work. But I do think I haven't been eating enough on uds either. I will see what the scales show on Saturday. Thanks both for your advice xx

Sounds yummy! I'm fasting today too

So far I've had some homemade vegetable soup and a glass of fibogel, coming in at 100 calories. I think I'll finish the day with a grilled pork loin steak and loads more veggies, as late as I can last.
