Day 3 UK CD
WFD slipped into F800 yesterday but that’ll do me. I didn’t sleep for long last night but woke feeling more rested & brighter today, which is wonderful.
I’m reminded that often the smallest things create positive change… a good night’s sleep, the sun shining, remembering to drink more water, eating mindfully, having a plan. Gently getting back on track after a couple of months either free-falling or running alongside the waggon and feeling too exhausted to clamber on!
Today will be a straightforward CD. Popping out to top up shopping and plenty to fit in over the next couple of days. No meetings or commitments until the weekend so looking forward to catching up with projects, home things and myself! Day 3 and not started my “daily yoga & meditation” – that’s the next thing needing attention!

@cavanya Sounds like a long tough time. And you are springing up – here’s to hitting your first big goal this month
@songbirdme thanks for saying it like it is! This WOL works – if we follow it!
@basyjames you’ve made such a great turn around! Thanks for reminding me of apples – I munched through 3 yesterday and got past my sweet cravings 🙂
@ccco great idea to keep up your languages with films. Which ones do you speak?
@helen285 I see @cateaus and @basyjames answered your question about pocket lists and meal planning. There’s lots to pick up but we are a wonderfully supportive group! You may wish to reread the introduction to the thread and 5:2 basics, and the forum is full of useful information eg Lots of recipes at https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/forum/food/recipes/
@mia139 Well done on your 1kg loss in February. Here’s to daily posting for accountability 🙂
@cateaus your posts both came through fine on the website, your long post is up twice. Sometimes they seem to hang in the ether for a few minutes! I find it helpful to copy them before posting just in case… Thank you for keeping the spreadsheet in such good order – way to go for learning new things!
@mogaman Sorry about that… you are definitely a fixutre! We had a whole new spreadsheet this time around, starting from zero and building up. @cateaus v kindly started us off and we’ll keep adding as people arrive 🙂
@angrypony way to go with your first WFD! I’d call a WFD any day that doesn’t have calories, but I’ll pass your question about what makes a WFD over to @dykask. He’s our resident WFD expert & has read screeds & pulled dozens over the last few years!!
@matpi my that’s a long day! Thanks for the reminder about Spring equinox 🙂
@bellyblast @angrypony I’m up for a 30 day meditation challenge too! Finding it hard to get going again, despite it being a Lent thing for me…
@betsylee well done on the unplanned FD 🙂 I see from the spreadsheet we are almost at the same point heading for the same place – hoping you’re not going to overtake me!
@daffodil2010 Looking forward to tracking you and @flourbaby this month. We are back on the waggon and making progress!
@brightonbelle magnesium oil has revolutionised my sleep! After 20 years of intermitten unrefreshing sleep I generally sleep like a baby now – when I remember to use it!
@ihatelettuce thank you for the reminder – water is so important, esp on FDs. And makes fasting so much easier 🙂
@judyjudes Sounds like a lovely Birthday! Don’t beat yourself up – this is a WOL not a diet, and feasting / celebrating milestones is an important part of life! Being aware is what makes the difference between a treat and a habit, and sounds like you are doing just fine 🙂
@jaifaim staying still is sometimes a real achievement! (sadly I went up 4lbs for Feb!)
@flourbaby welcome back! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I’m also 20lbs back 2 years in my weight – and yes, the thing with this WOL is it works if we actually Do It!
@suki2 thanks for the mouthwatering recipe – I’ll try it with some quorn (vegan) chicken at the weekend 🙂
