I never weigh when its my TOTM! duck that, I don't need to see that negativity
Sometimes the scale will say I'm 8lbs heavier and it makes me feel so crap and down

I’m doing 5:2 (and 16:8 most days)
I think they should invent scales that when you have a loss, even a small one, it plays a fanfare. If it's a gain, then the scales turn off and won't let you see what they read until you've lost again, then cue the fanfare LOL
Yes 16:8, start eating at 12 then finish at usually 6 when I have dinner but i can eat until 8. Above everything it reduces my headaches and makes me feel less hungry as I usually go from waking up-12 without food anyway as most of the time I can’t stomach it. Eating then 3 meals in 6 hours means I don’t get hungry/hanger headache. It’s fab. Not sure how it effects weight loss though but I like waking up feeling less bloated
Weighed myself today and I have a grand total of 10 grams loss I'm not mad or disappointed though, spent the past few days at my dad's place and pretty much ate everything but the kitchen sink. Considering that, the fact that I have lost even 10gr is a miracle.
Finally managed to connect the scale to my phone, I'm still a bit iffy about the whole set of permissions it required but I wanted to see where I'm at, even if it's a rough estimate. It says that my body fat is 35.8% which is obviously high. I have about 2 stones to lose, so I don't know why this surprised me that much lol. Apparently my body age is a decade (!!!) older than I actually am. Oddly enough, this has been a much stronger kick up the arse than my weight or fat percentage Had a not so healthy breakfast but I'll be upping the exercise and lowering the carbs.

yep, I do one meal a day. having basically what I want for dinner with a protein shake to help my macros. it helps me because i'm a very all or nothing person
Last night for example, I won an award at work so had a few gins on a video call and then fancied pizza so had one. came under my TDEE but over my daily cals which I'm not that bothered about
What scales do you use?? They sound good!! Mine currently give me my ounces as a fraction in eighths and for someone who is shocking at maths it gets very confusing to work out and so even if I’ve lost half a pound I end up just saying I haven’t lost at all so I don’t have to work it outWeighed myself today and I have a grand total of 10 grams loss

Check out the Renpho ones, the ones that connect with a bluetooth! Surprisingly detailed but like I said, I don't know how accurate it is compared to a proper medical scale. Still good to have on hand thoughWhat scales do you use?? They sound good!!

So I had a domino's yesterday 
it was the day after weigh day though and the only thing I ate all day so hoping it doesn't affect the scales too much

One won’t do much harm! I bet it was delicious - what did you get?!So I had a domino's yesterday
It might LOOK like you've gained on the scale but it won't be a real gain. I did payday takeaway on Friday and it's gone already plus a few more lbs. Avoid the scale for a few days and focus on staying on track.So I had a domino's yesterday
Oh my god, I remembered my previous weight wrong LMFAO. I've actually out on 1 poundWeighed myself today and I have a grand total of 10 grams loss

Oh well! Time to get back on track. 
A friend of mine did Paul Mckenna and also lots loads. I think he connected with the book more than the actual hypnosis. He used to shovel down food, not really tasting it and now says he eats slowly and remembers to enjoy every bite.
I’ve bought new scales as I wasn’t convinced my old ones were working properly. I usually weigh on a saturday morning, but I did a like for like check on sunday night when the new ones arrived and they were virtually the same. Since then though the old ones are showing a lower weight than the new ones so I’m going to have to weigh on both on saturday and go from there. Hoping the new scales don’t dishearten me though! I’ve also upped my walks this week, in terms of frequency, duration and length but not seeing any change when I check the scales. Food wise i’m within my calories. Ugh. Wish losing weight was as easy as putting on weight. 
thank you all for answers on intermittent fasting!
i started eating at 11:30 today and will finish at 19:30
let's see how that goes at 10 pm when i want crisps!

The 1.5 lbs I put on are just not budging. I’m not actually calorie counting properly, over Christmas I wasn’t hungry and now my appetite is back with a vengeance which is making it really hard
The main reason it helps me is because I have in my head 'i do not eat past 8.30pm' so just try and hammer it into your own brain for the first few days until it becomes habit
Changing my weigh in day to a Friday rather than Monday so going to weigh in tomorrow even though it’s only been a few days and then I’ll be back to weekly. I’ve been strict the past few days so I’m hoping for 1lb
