Useful info on measuring there, thanks! And I think Brenda is right: these last three kilos will be more about your feelings and mindset than about how you look.

You are gorgeous! And 1lb is more than OK!

Super late night last night and I didn’t check in! Sorry. But all good! It was steak night so we had; - Porterhouse steak with garlic butter - Three-potato hash - Salad (not pictured) I fasted today but tonight begin our weekend celebrations! And guys, I intend to INDULGE. 😄

Ohhh... that doesn’t sound good. Hope it’s just a 24-hour thing and you can get back to attacking life with gusto soon.

YOU RULE! Amazing stuff - keep going!

Bone broth is amazing (although I just call it stock!). Ordinarily it’s what I’d use but I didn’t have any and it was getting late. 😊 Yesterday was another good day, but have to say it was challenging at lunchtime even though I wasn’t hungry. We have a wonderfully diverse workplace and a decent proportion of the staff come…

Ohhh it’s really easy. Traditionally it’s made with lettuce (it’s perfect for using the outer leaves of romaine) but I made this one with Swiss chard. Simply sauté one finely chopped onion in butter, add the greens cut into chiffonade, and stir until they wilt. Add chicken stock (I used a cube - meh) and simmer 10-15…

Wow, Tracey - what can I say? You’re so spot on with all of this! And your dedication is AMAZING.

Vanity pounds! Love it! And love your attitude. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

YUUU-HUUUMMM! As for Valentine’s Day, you know what’s the best way to never have to celebrate it ever again? Get married on V-day! So we’ll be celebrating our anniversary instead. 😄

Thanks, everyone! As you’ve seen, I haven’t skimped on portions or any food group, so I’m pretty sure I can do this at this point. And like you say, Steph, health is the most important thing, so once we’re down to a healthy weight we’ll continue fasting, either 16:8 or a couple times a week, because the benefits are just…

Quick check in! All good around here. Just doin’ the do, you know, and finding the whole thing super easy lately. It’s been nearly a month so I don’t know whether it’s my mind or my body that’s adjusting, but over the past few days I’ve had NO hunger pangs. Amazing. And so onto this week’s losses: I was expecting a whoosh…

You’re doing AMAZING! And a pound is absolutely significant, not to mention sustainable.

You got this!

Yeah, girl! Get better and GET SOME!

Ohhh that sucks! You poor thing. Hang in there, and hope you get better soon!

Urgh. How are you feeling? Did you manage to rest over the weekend?

Yay, Monica! You're doing great! Hope your mum gets better soon.

Hello, everyone! Hope you’re all having a nice end to the weekend or great start to the week. It was a great weekend for me - if busy - and Sunday I think I had what was my best fast day EVER. Not a single hunger pang or craving, even though I was meal prepping most of the day! Still - managed to have a hearty meal that…

Hi everyone, late check-in. All good around here! Went to a gig last night with a friend and went out for dinner beforehand. Had a delicious (and quite wholesome) Lebanese meal composed of salad and a few mezze, and it was fab. Another gig tonight (I’m too old for this!) and we’ll have dinner at home beforehand - lasagna,…

No, but he’s a good cook! Although credit where credit’s due: I made the mash while he was at the barbie doing the fish and veggies. 😄And yeah... we all love our carbs. It’s one of the main reasons I’m doing OMAD. I can do keto in the short term, but not the long. It affects me in all kinds of ways. My goal one of these…

That’s fabulous. Tomorrow!

I’m going to have to get some of those pillows for DH. I never thought I’d meet someone who loves chocolate more than I do, but he is insane. Absolute chocoholic. This would keep the cravings at bay for sure!

What a great infographic!

What a great, positive attitude you have! I love reading your goals for the day. And you’re so lucky to have such an embracing clinic. Where in the world are you, by the way?

That’s fantastic! And it’s so true. I used to be like that, 100%, but now let’s say I’m more 50%. One of the things I’m pleased with, the two times I’ve done 2MAD this month, is that I just ate the two meals: I didn’t go, “Well, might as well have afternoon tea and a block of chocolate for dessert!” (For full transparency,…

NOOOOO!... Omigosh - that is a LOT to deal with all at once, both physically and emotionally. (((HUGS)))

Thanks, everyone! Somewhat late checking in - last night I was just wiped out! And I’m going out two nights in a row to catch gigs so my posting is going to be patchy over the next few days. Anyway. Hubby cooked last night and we got: - Blackened salmon - Stir-fried veggies - Roast garlic mash - Fromage frais and prune…

Fab! Taking care of yourself all four ways (mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally) is absolutely essential.

Great news! And a standing desk will burn a few more calories for sure, but the bigger benefits will be in your back and core. Did they get you a mat to stand on as well? Because it’s aaaallllll about the mat if you want to use it for long stretches.
