Started in January 2020, decided to eat better for my health rather than just to lose weight - i was sick of being out of breath and lethargic! I incorporated C25K into it along with some yoga. Now i am down 50lb and still going :) Started in the obese category and i am SO close to a healthy BMI! No going back for me!

My bad!!! January 2020. Congratulations on your loss, i bet you are very proud of yourself :) I am trying to be kinder to myself. It's all part of the process lol

Thank you for your really helpful post. I think I need to stop expecting perfection. 50lb in a year and a half ended up being about .5lb a week - i thought that was quite a steady rate. I have to stop putting so much pressure on myself and realize i am doing well especially where i have always struggled before.

Well done! Don't feel silly - everyone starts somewhere :smile: Conrgatulations on your loss!!

I "believe" you are not supposed to- as it goes against the idea of the fast day. There isn't anything stopping you from doing that on a Non-Fast day but I understand you are not supposed to go over the "allotted" amount.. on the Fast day's. hope that made sense! :smile:

So in the grand scheme of things it will contribute to my total loss :smile: Today is a fast day for me.. so I will see tomorrow morning how it went! So far so good!

I thought I was the only one who did that!! "If you can't see me eat this big pack of sharing crisps- I haven't really had them" :neutral: I guess I was a fool really.. I didn't think about the contents of what I was eating. Portion sizes were alien to me... Hence why I am now weighing everything. and why I gained 4 stone…

It went really well thanks! I stayed slightly below 500.. just in-case I underestimated something.. I have done a couple now, the first one I really struggled!! I think it was harder because it was someone's birthday at work. God knows how I managed to walk past all of those cakes :open_mouth: I have had two fast day's…

First fast day went well :smiley: I only went over by a few calories- which is amazing for me!! Plenty of water and hot drinks really helped! Onwards and upwards :smile:
