    Start of week 5 Still here guys, plugging away at it! :crazy: For the record, I'm losing around 0.5lb a day now. FBG is still stubbornly around 7, but throughout the day BG is between 5 and 5.5. I'm really feeling the cold! :shock: I'm still on the 3 Atkins shakes a day and I have a large...

    Day 15 Well, here we go with week 3. I've remained absolutely steadfast with the plan, which makes it a bit irksome to have only lost 3.2lbs this week. Still, I'm going to stick with it and see it through. I was really craving food yesterday but no pain, no gain, right? B: 6.3 | B+2: --- | L...

    Thanks Jo, that's really useful for me. What you've described is how I'd like things to go for me when I come out the other side. :) You've reinforced what the woman on the Horizon programme said about calorie intake being cumulatively lower on a 5:2 regime. I imagine I'll still be on a very...

    Great post, Patch. Thanks! :D Right up to lunchtime I was considering maybe dropping the idea and going straight to I/F. Something stayed my hand and I've carried on, though. I'm going to see it out. :clap: My scheduled last week will be our holiday in Scotland so I'll be finishing it a...

    Day 10 Hi Rosie! :wave: I decided to have my veg allowance last night as I was feeling particularly cold and sorry for myself. I used 300g (the study recipe sheet states at least 250g) of cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, peppers and onion stir-fried with a teaspoon of crushed garlic and...

    Newcastle-ish Day 7 Bit disappointed to see just 0.4lbs off the scale this morning. :roll: How impatient am I? :lol: Almost a stone in a week, and I might see it done tomorrow! :D Got my first CrossFit session since starting this diet tonight. I'm a bit nervous about it. Mind you, if my...

    Thanks Jo. Paleo's the one for me when I get back to normality. :thumbup: I feel there actually might be light at the end of the tunnel after watching that Horizon programme. It's an effective way of reducing calories without feeling really deprived. I was worried about calorie overload on...

    Newcastle-ish Day 6 Almost another pound off today. 0.8lbs down, 12.4lbs cumulative. :) I tried one of my CrossFit Tameside t-shirts on for a laugh this morning and it doesn't look sprayed-on any more. First goal achieved! Might wear it for my first training session back at the gym...

    Newcastle-ish Day 5 Another 1.6lbs off this morning, that's 11.6lbs cumulative. Not hungry this morning despite it being big breakfast day usually. :roll: Nice low FBG to start the day as well. :D Was round at a mates house in back garden this afternoon and someone lit a barbequeue in a...
