Thanks Angie and Whylily. My problem seems to be eating on NFD. I have worked out i can have 2000 cals approx (I have approx 3 stone to loose….getting married next year:) )but cant get my head around that much food.I am eating much more fruit and veg and still seem to have calories over but finding it hard to allow myself to use these up. I want them its just my head saying no . My weakness is carbs but i am trying to keep these to a minium. Do i need to be doing that on NF days? Any advise gratefully received 🙂
Hi there PoshBird01
re the carbs, this one is a dark horse lol, I try to keep mine to a minimum, not easy as I love them 🙂 I am a pasta girl 🙂 I would say try and keep yours to a minimum if you can during feed days at least till you reach your goal,2000 cals seems a heck of a lot to go through !! if you cant use all then don’t worry, I don’t think I use all of mine, ever, and I have been doing this since last july…
you are doing great anyway, so hang in there, it’ll get easier in the long run, I promise 🙂
Bread is my weakness so going to try and just have 2 slices wholemeal a day. i worked out my cals using the TDEE and i do need to loose quite a lot about 3 stone i guess so this allowance will come down as time goes by. Great incentive getting married and just look at wedding dresses online keeps you strong !! Thanks for the support and advice.
Angie how much weight have you lost since you started? do you do your fast days back to back or with a split?
Hi again PoshBird01!
yes planning your wedding will keep you focused and on track, what better incentive!!
I started in July 2013 at 9st 13 and now 9,5, its been very slow but am ok with that, ideally I would like to go under the 9 st mark but we’ll see, I really go my my clothes and as long as they feel good, then all is well lol!!
I cant do back to back fasts grrrr, I do Tuesdays and Fridays, but as you know we can swap and change as we need to, how about you, which days do you do? I applaude fasters who do back to back as I cant!!!
you will get there, you have the right positive attitude and that will keep you motivated always, you go girl!! 🙂
Oh Angie you are soooooo tiny anyway. I was last that weight when i was 21 (i am 50 now) so all a bit more difficult to loose weight. I am doing Mon and Thurs as my fast days and to be honest as i know im not eating until dinner (i save them up) its almost easier cos i dont have to think about it, just drinking loads of water which is quite hard. All excited now!!
