smash Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm doing well imho and am dropping around 2lb a week now, I'm just a shade under 13 and a half stone now and would like to hit 13 and then stay there if possible. Got my new road bike 2 weeks ago s that has been helpful as the house is a right state due to decorating etc so I can use the cross trainer. If any of you are cycling on a regular basis I can highly recommend the map my ride app as a motivational and informative tool to help you get the most out of your rides and its a lot cheaper than a garmin edge..

Bigjimknickers Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Right, I've been putting this off for too long now, so last week I think I've finally got something that suits me. It was recommended by my GP last year & I've had the book for over a year. It's the 5:2 lifestyle change book (I can't diet, so that word is moot to me) by dr Michael Mosley. Now it's very simple so I started last Tuesday, basically you choose two days to fast & then eat normally for the rest of the 5, I chose Tuesdays & Thursdays the days that you fast you only have water & 600 calories. So I have nothing to lose, aside from weight! My start weight last Tuesday was 17st 12lbs I'm not expecting it to be fast, but i hope It's steady 1-2lbs a week will suit me as so far it's been easy compared to the shake diets I usually punish myself with.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Been doing this for 4 weeks now. start weight 17st 12lbs yesterday; 17st 7lbs, pretty easy to stick too to, ive fasted on Tuesday & Thursday & kept under my 600 cal for these days with plenty of water. I hope ive finally found something that works & is sustainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Interesting....and well done What are you eating to get the 600 calories on fasting days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Well, I read the book by DR Michael Moseley, and its pretty interesting stuff, the extra benefits besides weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, Lower IG something levels, What I've been doing is having a latte in the morning & a bowl of Alpen in the evening, this is around 500 cals, I've stuck to it religiously in the hope it'll work.

Madmini Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 My other 1/2 is doing slimming world. No fasting and she eats more than me. She's lost 2 stone since March and is literally eating to make herself thin. I'm amazed at how good it is. Good luck with your plan. I know it's hard but you will get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 wow, very little to get you through the day... hmmm, wotsits are 99 calories a bag, so six of those would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 wow, very little to get you through the day... hmmm, wotsits are 99 calories a bag, so six of those would be great Yep, its tough, but what I rememember is tomorrow I can eat.. Plus lots of water fills you up. Funny, even after just one day food tastes so much better. This way it'll be nigh on a year to get to 13st 7lbs but its something doable, it doesn't feel like a diet as I go back to normal on my eating days.

53HRA Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Is anyone eating/not eating at certain times? I've found eating between 6-9am for breakfast will last me a few hours then have some fruit whenever you feel hungry after that. Medium'ish size lunch about 1pm and another snack after that whenever you feel hungry No eating after 5-6pm - Or if you really cannot hold yourself,have something light again.. I've tried this for a few days and it's difficult to do the first 3 days but your body adjusts.Repeat the same process for a couple of weeks and i actually find a few pounds coming off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I can't help myself at times like 7/10 pm that's where it goes wrong with me it's a habit. Need to get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Weekly weigh in, still fasting on Tuesday & Thursday 600 cals. Start weight 17st 12lbs. Today. 17st 4lbs. Pretty pleased so far. I'm actually amazed it works, I still eat as I normally would for the 5 days, I dont hold back, tonight will be beers & curry. That's key IMO. Diets fail when you make yourself miserable & deprived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru-swift Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) some good tips on here as I need to lose a few stones.... but it is hard work turning food down as I live for food at times lol so to speak.plus I eat after 9pm so I need to pull my finger out & read up on some of these weight loss tips. the 2 day fasting one sounds like it is hard but I might give that one a go first. I way a good 16 stone but I would like to be 14.5 or so stone, I do pc support so most of the time if most a lot of the time I am on my ass sitting down so i am not physically active these days to keep the weight down.p,s do we loss weight the more we type on keyboards & if not why not.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 You said try again.. Its pretty slow but consistant, about 3lbs per week max I imagine, that's what I'm losing, not a lot but my missus has noticed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
