Chiang Mai, Thailand but moving back to Bangkok at the beginning of next month :)

sounds great, thanks!

Welcome to the group and awesome job on the 13Kg! I am a mother of 2 kiddies as well. Keep up the good work!

You brought tears to my eyes. Simply awesome.

Hello everyone, Well, I have been sticking to the 2 fasts a week and I have been feeling really great. Unfortunately I do not have a scale yet, but have decided that I don't care about the number but am paying attention to how I feel, how my clothes fit and how I look. And I can say I feel great, my clothes are getting big…

I have learned that if I go to bed hungry the night before my fast day I have a really really hard time getting through the day. So now I make sure to have a really good and filling meal the night before my fast. It has seemed to really help me get through the day much better.

Great job everyone! I will post my weigh in when I get a scale!!!

I wouldn't worry about the 1 lb gain- it most likely is water weight. Are you tracking everything you are eating? Sometimes calories hide in places that might surprise you :) I had a 10 day period where I didn't loose at all- and that was frustrating but I stuck it out and the scale has continued to go down. Although we…

Dinner!! Food always tastes better to me on fast days :)

Hello everyone, Well we had a travel day on Tuesday so needless to say I feel like I ate a whale! Airports + 2 children = not so good food choices! Not looking forward to this weeks weigh in.....

Great job and AWESOME photo album! Totally awesome!

Skrentz, I totally agree with what Beavergong has said. It's totally fine to have a "off day" or a "not successful" day or however you want to look at it. Just shake it off and start again another day. Remember, this is for life - everyday of it, not just for now and sometimes s**t happens and we just have to eat those…

My first thought was a group weigh in day would be cool- but since everyone fasts on different days and weighs on different days I am not sure all would be comfortable doing so? So how does a weekly weigh in (you choose your own day) with updates on progress, ups & downs, thoughts etc... sound? I weigh in on Wednesdays-…

bump to save :)

Hi Chris, Thank you for joining us and sharing. It is so awesome that your blood work showed such positive results. Regarding your question about being satisfied with less food- I have found this to be true as well. I am not sure if my stomach is shrinking or if I am just more aware of what I am eating, how much I am…

My nails are super strong and long now as well- isn't it awesome!

Well yesterday was my fast day. It was a little more challenging then my previous fast days. 4 pm rolled around and I was hungry hungry hungry. My little people where asking for some popcorn so I cooked some up and ate 3 cups. Although not high in calories the salt was a killer! I need to have better options around for my…

Hi, I keep track everyday. I live in Thailand and everyone eats out all of the time- it is a cultural thing - they eat their meals together family style. it is actually cheaper for most then doing the shopping and cooking at home. A lot of the homes here don't even have kitchens! So logging my food everyday is a great way…

Hi! I eat around 1200 calories a day on non fast days :) That is about 400 below my TDEE .

Hi Sarah, Thanks for sharing! Way to go on the 3 lbs - even at 800 calories on fast days you are losing and doing awesome! I went on a short 5 day vacation at the end of last month and didn't loose any weight that week but didn't gain either. I decided to let myself enjoy my vacation and if something was not delicious - I…

I am a chef so have met a few "t.v. Chefs" in my timeI spent a day with Jacque Pepin. What a lovely man I have met Micheal Ruhlman, Ming Tsai and Todd English I sat next to Andre Agassi in a bar and he was very nice. He is very little too!!! I have cooked for Conan O'brien a few times, Dave Mathews, Kyle MacLachlan and…

I totally agree!

8.5 :)

^ Sophia the first!

When I ran around the parking lot it was not so they could evaluate my stride- it was to see how I felt running in the shoes. I ran in about 5 different pairs and there was a marked difference between them all :)

Hello again! Many people subscribe to the I can't eat sushi, blue cheese, eggs that are not cooked all the way etc etc etc and that is fine by me. Many of my friends chose that route. I chose to be more on board with how the French and Japanese handle their diet while pregnant. I ate what I wanted as long as I knew where…

I agree about speaking to your doctor. I have had 2 children and did not eat extra for either of them. I just ate normal, took my prenatal, drank lot's of water and tried to eat healthy (except for the occasional craving in which I indulged!) You will find many people have many different ways (and ideas) on how to live…

ohh, I forgot to add I stretch half way through and then again when I get home. Never before :)
