  • totally get how you feel. And same: I was always the bubbly one, but got so overwhelmed with the need to lose weight and get back to my original self that it probably consumes 50% of my daily thoughts. How wasteful is that!! If you want an accountability buddy, we can test it out. Feel free to ping me!
  • I'm so happy for you! Those always make my day. Curious: I want to speed up my weight loss for motivation purposes, nothing makes me stick to something like seeing results. And I'm thinking about doing some low-carb diet. My question to you is: do you think that even matters if I stay within the same calorie limit? And…

  • I shifted to healthy food but I need to be more mindful of calories. Ie, the dates are my weak spot! I could have a box in one sitting. I was never in a challenge before, so I'm excited to see how this goes. :) 8/26 - 73.4kg 8/27 8/28 8/29 8/30 8/31 9/01 9/02 9/03 9/04

  • Hey, ladies, I'm back! Today is my FD, and T&T will be my FDs each week. Excited to "hang out" and push through together. Flumi, I'm sending you positive vibes. Hopefully you're all better soon <3
  • Great inspiration here. One step at the time is what I need to be constantly reminded as well. Focusing on today! It's my FD, anyone joining? Also, a question - I just looove coffee on FDs, it keeps me full. Do you do the same?
  • Thank you, ladies! And a lad :) Your messages were very encouraging. Wanna hear something funny? This very morning my scale DID show less. Finally!! What a timing. (I use the old scale, no screen or anything, so it doesn't show small changes. Good ol' needle.) Exactly Flossy, it's the old story once again - slow and steady…
  • Thanks, ladies! I'm fasting again today, so we'll see how I feel by the end of the day. Honestly, going earlier to bed on FD could be an overall +. It might push me to sleep more, which is always a good thing! I work as a CMO so long working hours and a lot of stress are new normal. These two days are welcomed change.…
  • wow, 7 lbs in 3 weeks?! If I manage to lose as much I'll be celebrating. :D I had a bit of a headache last night and felt a bit week, is that normal? I went to bed a bit earlier, so no losses :D
  • Thank you! I appreciate it! :) this + working out 3x week hopefully brings results.
  • Oh and Flossy, that's what I was thinking today. I had so many fasting days before, on accident! Well, not true entirely. I'd go without food for a looong time, but then I'd eat a ton. Now we know better ;)
