Hi Nettienoo

I started the diet 3 weeks ago and lost 4lb in the first two weeks then I have put on a pound this week, I think I have taken you can eat all you want on the non fast days literally, so I am going to use My fitness Pall on my phone every day and count my calories and try to stick to about 2000 and not only on fasting days as I have been doing. I have made a lovely beef stew from the Fast Diet recipe book today even though a non fasting day, it had wine in the recipe now I have three quarters of a bottle of wine to drink. So back to a fasting day tomorrow and hopefully lose that pound quickly

Good luck and good for you only one meal in a day, I can’t seem to manage that, I have made a big pot of Tomato and red pepper soup and hopefully a bowl of that in the middle of the day will keep me going, not managed just breakfast and then dinner still have to have some thing at lunch time.

I also use myfitnesspal – I can’t believe how much some things are when I add them after accidentally eating them!!! It has really helped me become a conscious eater – ‘am I actually hungry enough to add that to today’s tally?’ Or it means I have a few pieces of chocolate not the whole block – I don’t want to add 1000cals of chocolate! It’s not that long since I added 1000cal of chocolate, so it’s not a won battle, but I bought a block some days ago and have only eaten half a piece so am pretty happy about that!

I am the same about weighing nettienoo – I am having my first weigh and measure tomorrow, after a month. And will probably try and put the next one off for another couple of weeks at least. I hate it when I end up jumping on the scales first thing in the morning, every time I have a shower etc etc. it allows me to focus on winning with my eating, and trusting that the scales will move in the right direction. I don’t fit my jeans atm but I can now get them up at least!!

Hmm thinking about pumpkin type things!! There is a big pumpkin on the bench at home. I love wedges so might just make some for tomorrow (I just looked up how much pumpkin I can have for 500 cal!!) 😀 or I could do the possibly wiser thing and make my normal fast day soup, and have pumpkin the next day. Then I could add a bit of nice oil for that extra delicious factor. Yum yum!!!
