Final fast day of the week today. Weigh in day tomorrow, and I'm back with a vengeance. I have a works xmas party next weekend, and would like a little wiggle room in my dress. I tried it on a couple of weeks ago, and it was snug, so I think that was the push I needed to get my focus back. Not planning on trying it on…

I have no doubt they will be able to see a difference. 20lb is a lot and you're doing great. :D

Have fun on your makeover and party. Be sure to report back. :D

Hope you feel better soon @carbmonster <3

Congratulations on the house purchase. :D

10C in North Wales, so think that's about 49/50F. Sunny and dry, but we are forecast rain...... typical Britain. :o

Glad your 1st fast went well. I built myself up to be able to do 5k on fast days, and don't have a problem now. I think if you build it up slowly your body adapts. I do usually go for my run in the morning of my fast day though, so I have had my evening meal the night before. Not sure if it would be the same if I went for…

Fast day for me today, and all I want now is starbucks............. :o Have to pass one on my way home from work, so think I might pop in and go for an americano. That will fill me up until I have food later.

This ^^^^^ You need to do what's best for you and what you can stick to.

Sorry you're having to go through this. I know how you're feeling, having gone through it when I was younger. Try to stay positive, and as everyone has said, we are all here to support you. Good luck for next week's scan. <3

Migraine for me today, and all I've done is eat...... Never mind tomorrow is a new day, and a fast day.

Completely agree @snaps27

@Orlcam. ^^^^^ this. You are an inspiration to us all. You give great advice, help when we are struggling and are always there. The number is just that a number. We are all bigger than we want to be, and we're here for the same reason. To make that number smaller. As @jemimasmum said "end of sweet talk" and kill it this…

I'm loving tip no. 10 Think I'm going to start setting reminders through out the day. :D

Me too @jknight001 Like ^^ :D

The scale has finally started moving again, and I couldn't be happier. 4lb down this week, after so many weeks staying the same. @Orlcam. I have noticed the warming up of my face towards the end of my fast, but they generally are no longer than 36/38 hours. I think I'm going to try for a 40 hour one next week and see how I…

Welcome to the group. :) My only tip for fast days is to plan them. If you know what you're going to eat and when, it takes the hassle out of the day.

TDEE day for me today, and I will keep it healthy. I need to get my normal days under control now, as I have been eating more rubbish food. Even though I've stayed around my TDEE I've not been eating consciously, so have been feeling like I'm constantly hungry even though I know I'm not. I will get back to losing again.

@Carbmonster - thats a fantastic change. You can really see the difference. As Orlcam says I can see the difference all over. You're a real inspiration. You've got this girl. :D

Another fast day for me today, all planned and logged. Yesterday was a feast day, and I did plan, but also had a few nice bits that weren't planned :o , but I was allowed to and made sure it was in my allowance :D . Finally looking forward to weigh-in tomorrow again. I've been dreading them the last couple of weeks :s ,…

2nd fast today. Going to concentrate on today and no further. Already logged what I'm having and when. Though fast days aren't a problem for me. Maybe I should use the same philosophy for feast days that I use for fast days, and plan them. Or at least for a few days.

Thanks @carbmonster, that's great advice and I'm going to take it and just work on 1 day at a time again. @orlcam, you crack me up.

I've really been struggling this last couple of weeks. The fast days and easy, however I'm eating a lot more on non-fast days, so I've made the decision to do 4:3 for the next 4 weeks to see if I can get myself past this hiccup and move on. I think I'm sabotaging myself, as everyone is telling me I'm looking great now, but…

I'm on week 22 now. I've found this week, my fast days have been easy, but I've been eating more on my feast days, and I'm thinking I really need to pull it back. I've stayed under my TDEE but not by much and feel like I'm eating all the time again. I'm having my 2nd fast today ready for my weigh in tomorrow, and I think…

Please explain your point? I've found it helps with dietary control. The 2 days fasting encourages you to control yourself, and if you had read any information or looked into it, you would know the other 5 days aren't just a binge fest. Just because you can have what you want, doesn't mean you have it. I find it easier to…

Well today has been my 1st fast of the week...... Thought I'd start the week off as I mean to go on.

Love, love, love that song @snaps27. :smiley:

I'd say yes that counts as strength training, or I'd count it. :smile: Fantastic NSV, I love running in light rain...... so refreshing. :D And well done on the loss :smile: I've managed to get back to where I was before my 4 day break, so it's now onwards and downwards.

@snaps27, glad you're feeling better, keep fluid intake up. :) @melaniecheeks. I bet you'll look fanstastic. I love the electric blue stuff that's around now. Good luck with your interview as well. :)

Great Idea @carb. I'm on a mission this week, after my gain last week. I will get rid of that 2lb. 2nd fast of the week today before my weigh in tomorrow. :D
