Hi MissInCharge! I would like to do the challenge with you 😀
I’m 25 years old. I have never done the diet either but several friends recommend it… I’d like to make it a lifestyle choice rather than a fad as I always put on weight after finishing one of those quick fixes. I’m not familiar with st measurements so I’ll be using kgs to track my weight loss. Encouragement welcome!
When are you starting??
Hello you two 🙂
I did a half-hearted attempt at the 5:2 a little while ago and did lose a few kilos but didn’t stick with it. This time I aim to.
I am 49 and weigh 82.8 kilo’s – have been fluctuating between 83 and 82.5 for about 4 weeks now – very frustrating. I have lost a couple of cm’s of the bust and hips and 4cm from the waist so something is working.
Having read a few threads though, this is not unusual, and everyone has suggested to just stick with it, the weight will come off eventually.
I suspect you two are a little younger than me (OK then, A LOT) and I am also menopausal so I am not expecting the same results, but it would be nice to share the journey. MissinCharge, we are at the same weight 🙂
I hail from Down Under (New South Wales, a couple of hours north of Sydney on the coast). Time for me to go home now…yippee
Check you later
Hi again MIC…I want to lose 15kg’s which will put me back to 68kgs and into my size 10 jeans again. I lost around 24kgs about 5 years ago doing WW..then put 15kgs back on 🙁 This suits me better as I hate counting calories all of the time (or points if doing WW). My FD’s are Mon and Tues. I’d rather get them over and done with. My TDEE is 2013 but I too am aiming to do 1500cals per day on the non fast days. My next aim is to get back into morning and afternoon intermittent walking. That is a great way to burn fat, and I know as I was doing that regularly when I lost the 24kg’s. We are in the last throws of winter over here in OZ, and spring is in the air. The days are getting warmer and longer (more daylight) so I will feel more motivated to get out and MOVE.
Working nights would be hard when eating normally…dunno about when fasting. Do you get to have a kip at all? Do you get some days off when switching shifts?
I will check out the Lakes District online. My niece is living over in the UK, near Wimbledon, at present. Not sure for how long as her hubby may be posted in Asia. She is due to have their 2nd child any minute now.
Have a good shift 🙂
Ciao
Would love a Fasting Buddy!
40 year old mum of 2 young children (ages 6 & 2). This is my 1st time trying the fast-diet so feeling motivated! Managed to reach my happy weight whilst on Maternity leave with my son (benefit of breast feeding!) but since returning to work last September the weight has just crept back on. I have tried other well known weight loss programmes without success. I have 16kg to loose. So using myfitnesspal (annietastic23) and fitbit (https://www.fitbit.com/user/3J7B8H) to log everything have been pretty good the last few days. If anyone uses myfitness pal or fitbit I have put my ID’s so please add me– more motivation! Today is my 1st fast day and so far feeling good! Good Luck to All! xxx
Hi girls. Welcome annietastic and ceedub and gemma 🙂
I am on myfitnesspal too. How do you add people, and what can you do once they are added?
I have stuck to under 1500cals the last two and a half days (today hasn’t ended yet). My challenge this weekend is to stay off the booze. I tend to have at least 1 bottle of wine over Frid-Sund, which is still fairly contained I would have thought, but am going to give it a miss and see if that makes a diff on the scales on my WI in day on Wed next week. An hour walk and spring cleaning is also on the agenda over this weekend. It is going to be 25-27degC tomorrow here …can you believe that? We are still in winter!
I am going to try 4:3 next week as I want to see a loss on the scales!
Have a great weekend all…
