Oh Deb I'm so sorry to hear that, you feeling any better?

Ah yes, been doing a LOT of research on therapeutic fasting. Water fasting can be done safely at home for up to 30 days before you need supervision, and are obviously not an idiot and don't work out, overexert/ listen to your body, etc. # days in now, doing ok really. Just bored

Hi Deb! Checking in with you to see how you are going. Seems january has been tough for all of here with getting and staying back on track. If you need to talk let me know. Just started an 8 day fast, 2 days in. Hoping this will break my psychological barrier of "i NEED to eat". So far going very well, though we will see…

Hi MadGirl, Thanks! Yes from all the stuff I've seen, it's better to really high dose Vitamin D3 (500-10000 per day, spending how low you are) for the first little while, then bring it back down to maintenance levels.

Yes Deb I'm here with you! How are you feeling? Congratulations on the new goal and the renewed determination. We are going to do it.

Yep! That 56.5 kilos includes the weight from constipation :) veggies veggies veggies dudes

p.s. I estimate it took 2-2.5 weeks for all the effects of vitamin to be noticeable, so if anyone is trying it, be patient.

Sudden drop in weight I'm wondering if there is a connection: Hi all. I gotta tell ya, I have NOT been eating faithfully on OMAD the last few weeks, as well as eating a lot of carbs (christmas food, long Italian lunches etc, plus the reasons I mentioned above). But I got on the scale friday, and noticed a sudden drop in…

Yes we are back guys, a new year, and yes Deb, we still have until April :) Thanks for all your support guys. The vitamin D has well and truly kicked in, it's cold a wet here, but I gotta tell ya, I feel fanTAStic. We can do it, here's to a lovely new start for all of us to add some fuel the fires of our goals. Back on…

I'm sorry to hear that Madgirl, I totally understand, you aren't alone

Yes Deb you are absolutely right. I've bumped back up again, while I get back into the swing of things. And our goals are still there! we'll get there, you watch. Thanks a million to all :) MADGIRL, yes, miles better, thank you so much! Brain is a lot healthier, I know when that is happening because I begin to have…

Thanks Blambo! Sending hugs, and joy for a new year!

Yes Deb! Your body is a system, don't feel bad on yourself if weight won't budge, something might be out of whack and it ISN't your fault my dear. The D has just started kicking in for me, as well as the Iron. Energy levels way up, cravings down. I use a light too, and do something physical each day, either forcing myself…

Missed you too Deb! How is it going? HungerisPower: Welcome! Might I say, I've had a *kitten* few weeks and henceforth it's been a struggle to stay on Omad- don't give up! You can get back on that horse if you fall. Sure, what would you like to know? Start weight: circa 60 Start measurements: waist 30.75, "gut" 33.5 about…

Hi all!I am back! I am so sorry for the absence, I really really appreciated all your messages and I'll get back you you all asap. Damned beast got me, blasted mental maladies. Been struggling with it a LOT, evidently, not to harp on about it, but I want my power back, my life force, and I'm going to do everything I can to…

Hi Deb, Been In a real down spot. Had to go get checked out for a lot of deficiencies, vitamin D and iron, mainly- but on some supplements now so hopefully on the up. I have clinical depression so at times I have to watch it, especially in winter when my serotonin falls dramatically (this leads to binges too, serotonin is…

yes, water retention, other stuff. Oh the joys of being a lady.

noooo what! 2 weeks! blimey! Yes I guess it is like 5:2, but OMAD all the days, with three- 5 super low cal days.

Hi Deb, how's it going? Just thought I'd check in with you. How are you doing? I'm still here! Had a blowout weekend 'cause guests, yes bad excuse, but it was done. The good news is, I had a 600 day yesterday and seems to be back at the weight i started before they arrived. I'm not sure yet, but it seems these few (3-5)…

Oh I'm glad love!

Hi Deb! Good thanks love :) Had a bit of a blowout on the weekend, Sunday was a bust, (damn two glasses of wine on saturday, plus up really late with the signore, does it to me every time), but the damage wasn't too bad compared to how I used to eat, except for some chocolate I ate. Stomach still hasn't shrunk back from…

That is brilliant, good on you!

Go Deb! Thats amazing :)

Ha thanks guys :) Yeah my hips generally remain the same (like I said, similar body type to the frog, skinny little legs and hips but then it's round the middle, from lower belly up to ribs. Sexy hey! :D ) So it was waist and a belly measurement. Ate a shedload of food yesterday, but things like fruit, yoghurt, hazlenuts,…

I would be thrilled with 55 kilos by New Years.Thrilled. This is first time I've seen weight shift in a year.

starting measurements: "gut" 33.5 in. waist:30.75 in. Today: "gut" 32.75 waist 29.75 This weeks intake: Mon 500 cal tues 600 wed 800 Thurs 650 friday 1100. Today I feel like I've shrunk quite a bit. Free food day today (but healthy food) Also I jumped on that scale I bought, It's a little, how do you say, crappy? it says,…

Yes challenge accepted here too!

oh my god Deb that's amazing! Congratulations!

Hi Deb! Yeah I just got the "medium" one (there were three, one for virgin untreated, treated, and heavily damaged). Waiting on the neutralizer/ fixer. I threw a whole pile of coconut oil in the night I got home from the hairdresser, and left it in for several hours. I'll keep doing that every few days or so. 600 cals…
