Hi everyone, Appelpie, I started the same day and have lost the same!! I’m trying to keep off the scales because the litterally hate me. But I’m PSYCHO with my measuring tape. In total since Jan 5 I have lost 10cm around my waist, 6 around my hips and just 3 around my legs, but I know that’s the slowest. I’m really surprised by this diet, I just worry 2 times a week and then it’s easier. My body is starting to react to everything happening to it. I can’t handle the ENORMOUS portions or whole pizza I used to have a month ago. I get really full! Which is great. Also, I’ve noticed that when I eat really fatty stuff or heavy food after fasting days, I GET SICK!! I’ve had to change my habits when eating stuff I really like, I have to go for small portions just so I can really enjoy it and don’t feel terrible afterwards.

I’ve gotten used to the fasting, and I really enjoy the fasting days now, I have all kinds of herbal tea to get me through the day and I will just have some light toast with cottage cheese and avocado for dinner. I always have the same, it’s quick, easy and satisfying and way below 500 cal.

Can’t wait for the numbers to be a real huge drop by the summer.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi there,

Hope everyone is having a successful week! Just got off the scales and another pound down – hoorah 🙂

Lara, I’m very much reliant on my mood too. It doesn’t take a whole lot to go wrong before I just think ‘knickers!!’, and then I’m stuffing something I shouldn’t. Before discovering this way of eating, I did this a lot and would just pick something here and there. If I put all those pickings on one plate, I’d probably be horrified! Still can’t stop myself doing it though.

I haven’t caved in on a fast day yet because I’ve set up very rigid rules for myself – absolutely no food before evening meal and to know exactly which days I’m fasting each week and sticking to it. I have swapped once due to an invite out, but I’m trying not to change things too often so that I stay ‘in the zone’. I’m scared that if I fall off the wagon I’ll have trouble getting back on!

Linonchis, yes we live in Spain, we have been here 2 and a half years now. This WOL will be even easier in the summer months when all you really want to eat is tuna salad. My no food day went well, I just had a cup of oxo at tea time. Yesterday I enjoyed every single mouthful of normal food. Fasting again today, we are having wafer thin pork steaks with ratatouille for tea, it will be under 400 calories for the day. So 3 fasting days again this week. Those scales had better be kind to me on Monday.
Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone,

Started my fast again this week. I don’t feel like the scales have moved much for me, however I am on my period and am hoping that when it is finished they should start moving downwards again. Does anyone notice that time of the month changes things for them?

The other thing is I always do two consecutive fast days but I notice some people split them. Does it matter? Is one way better than another or is it just to fit in with lifestyle?

One more day this week then I can chill! It’s not that I particularly want to eat loads but the fact that I can if I want too!

Hope everyone else is doing okay this week.

Brilliant applepie, though if – when I get to 10 stone, which is so far away it isnt even a target – I’ve promised myself a whole new wardrobe and a trip to Paris!!!!!

Very impressive, Apple Pie. New wardrobe was my thought too, milena.

I had my 5th fast day yesterday, and it wasn’t my most successful, but at 600 calories, not a complete loss. The end of the day did me in – next time I’ll go to bed earlier! The weight is coming off, but slowly. I think I am taking my “feast” days a little to literally…

Lara, not sure I could do two fast days in a row, but maybe that is because I’ve never tried! Mondays and Fridays seem to work best for my schedule (some week I may add a Wednesday). My weight goes up and down because of fluid, but as long as it is trending down, I’m happy!
