A group of Mum's trying to get rid of their tums!

Oh thats crap then I don't think I could cope with 500 calories a day, I would be starving

 

[brunettebimbo]

The 500 calories is only 2 days a week

I feel awful today, headache, runny nose and my throat hurts. All I want to do is pig out comfort eating!

 

[Mummy to be x]

That's still too hard for me lol.

Sorry you feel crap kian

 

[Carlyp1990]

Kian that's how I feel today! Hooe you feel better soon xxx

That 5:2 doesn't sound too bad! So can you actually eat what you want on the other days?

you can eat up to your TDEE, which is the amount of calories your body needs per day to maintain your current weight. My TDEE is 1760 calories, so five days a week I aim for that.

The days you fast to 500 calories creates a deficit over the week and you still lose weight. It's basically just dieting on two days a week, and the other days you can have those other treats in moderation.

I find it helpful because I have treats in the house because my kids eat them, and my husbands not dieting so I like to be able to eat what he eats too. Life is really hard when you're dieting every single day, I think

I lost another 1lb this morning, so that's 3lb in total for the week. However I'm thinking it's water loss because my period started yesterday. But at least I didn't gain after all. I gained 2lb over the weekend and lost 3lb over the past two days so it's still a 1lb loss overall, and I'm happy with that.

I'm on my second fast today; so I mignt still lose another 1lb.

 

[Lara310809]

Weighed in this morning, and lost a total of 25lb! 4lb this week alone.

To celebrate my 25lb loss I went through bags of ore-pregnancy clothes and found some stuff that fits! I'm also not calorie counting today.

15lb still to go...

[sethsmummy]

well done on the weight losses ladies

 

[Lara310809]

Third and final fast of the week and I lost an other pound. I'm now 160.5. I'm chuffed; I started the week weighing 167lb, so I've lost what I gained over mother's day, plus 5lb extra. I had my period this week so I know a few pounds was water weight, but I'm still happy.

Weekend off; I'm not even calorie counting. Taramasalata and pitta bread for dinner. Dr Pepper maybe, and some chocolate

 

[brunettebimbo]

That is brilliant! Well done.

 

[sethsmummy]

4lb on for me

 

[brunettebimbo]

O no!! Have you done anything different?

 

[sethsmummy]

yeah eaten loads of crap Looks like all the walking didnt break it even though lol. I am going to be better from now on... back to no sweets or crisps and drinking nothing but water or diluting juice. xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

I think that may be why.

I always try and remember the saying "You can't out exercise a bad diet"

 

[Carlyp1990]

I'm so glad I don't have scales, I would have gained about 5 lb I think this week. I've been awful! Xx

 

[sethsmummy]

Hahaha I have been too. Take away for tea tonight too start over tomorrow x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I've been shit but somehow lost 3lbs. Think it's because I finished my period. Tomorrow I'm starting again, this weather is getting lovely now and I want to look half decent in some nice dresses this summer.
