Morning All,

Friday morning and first week weigh in day.

I talked my husband in to joining me with this diet, after I had shown him this forum, I thought I have tried most diets over the years so why not another one! Although I could see what Dr Mosley was getting at in his book, I thought we will see give it a month! If no results we will go back to healthy eating and portion control.

We have been healthy eating for a few months and also lost a few pounds, the weight was still up and down. Both at 64 years and retired, the weights has gone up for the last 4 years. I need to get 2 stone off and husband 3 stone.

The first week has gone really well. The fast days were fine a few rumbling tummies around noon, filled up on water. We both like breakfast and dinner and stayed within allowance. The normal days we have decided to eat three meals a day without any snacking. Our red wine which we enjoy in the evening we now take with our evening meal. No biscuits or chocolate this is our downfall!! And husband is very good he eats what I give him and asks me before he eats anything during the week.

We try and have a 30 mins walk every day ( we both have walking difficulties) so not very quick, and also two 1 hour sessions at the swimming baths.

I have lost 3 lbs and husband has lost 4 lbs. Really Really pleased.

I only expected a pound each and thought 2 would be good.

We are away for a 4 day break next week and I am hoping to keep us to the plan, looking forward to next Friday weigh in.

The only thing which I have struggled with is keeping off the scales, I normally weigh myself every day, so to wait a week is sooooo very hard, still it was a very good result well worth waiting for.

4th week weigh in after 8 fasts, and a monthly measure.

First month gone very well and both very pleased.

I have lost another 1 lb off this week, now 7 lb off
I have also lost 6 1/2 inches around my body measurements………..2 1/2 off my waist.

Husband lost 2 lb this week, now 8 lb off, he also has lost 3 inches off his waist……..his only measurement, he is delighted.

Things have gone quite well, both feeling hungry a bit late on the fast day, also very thirsty on the day after although both drinking lots of water. Still if the pounds are going down that’s OK.

Hi Cath,

Yes all my clothes are starting to fit and a bit loose, from a couple of decent outfits what fit when going out, now lots to choose from……..more of a nightmare ….but nice!

Good luck to you

6th Week after 12 fasts

On our two weeks holiday, and one week in on weigh in Friday.

I have taken my bathroom scales as we are lucky enough to have two holidays a month, but can be a nightmare if trying to loose weight!

I have lost 2 lbs this week taking the weight lost to 10 lbs

My husband lost 3 lbs taking his weight loss to 13 lbs

We was hoping to stay the same but really pleased at the loss. We have managed to do our two swimming sessions and a bit more general walking around towns. So another holiday week ahead and hopefully as good!

7th Week after 14 fasts

Just finished our two week holiday and did Friday weigh in.

I have lost 1 lb more…… making it 11 lb

Husband also lost the same 1 lb …….making him 14 lbs

We are both very pleased and still very positive. Clothes on both of us are getting very loose but no buying until Christmas. My belt on my jeans is three holes tighter!

Thanks Fast for Life

Thanks Melinda!

It’s the monthly measure day Friday so keeping fingers crossed? I will keep posting.

9th week after 18 fasts

I have lost the usual 1lb making the weight lost 13 lbs

Husband lost 2 lb making his weight loss 17 lbs

We are both looking a lot better. We both had a try on of clothes unbelievably ALL my clothes I am getting into and now getting loose! Some of these must be 5 or 6 years old all not worn much always trying to get into them. I think on loosing some more weight I shall move these to a charity shop and buy just enought to wear without going over the top and having wardrobes full of unworn clothes!
My husband has a fat end of his wardrobe with the other end his old slim self, he is also getting into most of his clothes, some still a bit snug but getting there. He has a bit more to loose than me.

11th week, after 22 fasts,

I have stayed the same this week so 0 lbs but still 1 stone off

Husband has done 1 lb making his weight loss 18 lbs

Had a busy week, away for three days at the weekend, a bit more naughty eating and drinking and eating fish and chips which was lovely!

This coming week again away for four days, a bit of a heavy weekend ahead! So we will try and maintain. Then the big push to Xmas nothing planned, except for me one week away maybe visiting. Hoping to reach target by then, hopefully, nearly there!! Ish

13th week after 26 fasts,

I have lost 1 lb this week making it 17 lbs off

Husband has done a great 3 lbs this week making him 21 lbs off.

My husbands weight slowed down last month and he thought he had reached a plateau, he is really pleased with his loss this week.

Thanks Nika and good luck to you.This way of eating is amazing, it just works.

14th week no fasts

On holiday a week off!

16 weeks, 30 fasts and monthly measure

I lost another 1 lb this week, making it 1 stone 11 lbs off.
also 1/2 off my waist…1/2 off my hips….15″ from around my body

Hubby also lost 1 lb, making him the same as me at 1 stone 11 lbs.
also 1 1/2″ off his waist, he has lost 8″ off his waist altogether, amazing.

We are really very pleased with the progress of the plan and so very easy to put it in a daily lifestyle.
Our clothes are now getting so very loose and will be going out to replace a few before Christmas to make us look decent!

I am now getting very near my goal with hubby maybe looking at another half a stone in the New Year. We will make our new targets then. We are continuing with this way of eating for life.

Thanks Lindyw,

It’s even nice for me to look back on our progress, it’s the best plan I have ever been on…..and I have tried them all!

If it gives anyone encouragement to loose weight and get in a healthy lifestyle, that’s really good. To think its only 5 months since we started.
