Failed my fast today and ended at 1100...a 2/3rds day it is...so at least I can call it a low day :)

Yup. I agree with jknight. Normally you don't eat exercise cals back on a fast day. Letting your digestive system rest has other positive effects than weight loss like a stronger immune system.

I hear ya msmainthekitchen! Take it one day at a time... :*

After a weekend of hiking and hatious....a good fast day behind me and a good night tea in hand. Have a great day.

Hope you feel better soon Geoff! 2nd fast today. A bit high, but I've been in my cals on my normal days this week. Off to the Ticino midday tomorrow for the weekend. Will enjoy it ....food drinks friends and hiking. B)

You can heat them. I often soak just the oats overnight and warm them with fruit and additional fluid in the morning just to reduce cooking time. That was before hearing about overnight oats :D Very yummy is grated carrot and nutmeg/cinnamon in the oats....like a spiced carrot cake. Was sceptical.. .but very yummy ;-)

Allow the rest Kate! Your body needs it to get well! Meghan- i second mama's words! Thanks for keeping this thread alive!! Had a good normal day...in my cals despite having a hunger attack at 3am...ate a piece of cheese and logged it as breakfast. Thus all good. Was a strange night...

Maintenance isn't maintenance if the weight creeps up.... I sooo need to get my act back together...fast days are going better again...now I need to ramp up the exercise and stay in my cals on normal days more often. Piece of cake....hmmm no...cake doesn't help :p

I don't eat breakfast on fast days, but an egg / omelette with berries would be good. Or fat free high protein Greek style yoghurt with a handful of berries could be good.

Assume you mean my monthly progress...been in maintaince since mid 2014. I just track my daily weight since then. Still fasting, not as strict with logging. Stabilizedabout 5kg over my lowest. Still need to keep things under control and my goel is to lose those regained kilos. Life got in the way a bit ;) . Long story…

Ckmama- could be the grain carbs on non fast days that cause your bloating. I never realized where mine was coming from...water retention and gas were caused by too much grain in my case. I still eat it but less often and smaller quantities, often pretty limited to weekends. On fast days I avoid grain carbs...too many cals…

Had a very nice Sunday...run in the morning...first time in about 4 weeks...lungs and legs were good. Felt my left knee blocking after 5k...happens when I don't run regularly... spent the afternoon at/on the Rhine river. A nice little tour on my SUP. Weather has been and will be awesome! Will bike to work a few times this…

Kate- that's awesome! And yes it is a mind game! Planning on doing the same in my apartment in July as I am moving next year and want to go through my binders, drawers and cupboards early. Mama-the water was around 18C. Cold enough to not fall in :D . Normally I don't and if the water is cold I don't play games o my board…

My fasts went bust last week and thus I'm glad my weight is more or less stable, even if I'm not at the weight I'd like to be. Had a lovely day with my mom and sis on Friday...picking out wood flooring and tiles for my new apartment. And yesterday I did a 6h tour with my sis on the Rhine. Gorgeous weather!! Easy day today.…

My fast ended at 800 yesterday....a maintainance day today and a 50 min ride to work and back on my bike. Fasting tomorrow and also biking to work. Will try to stay around 500 tomorrow. Meals are planned...so just stick to it ;-)

Sorry peops....we had another long weekend, which I spent pretty much everywhere except at home ;-) Fasting tomorrow and Thursday....BBQ on Friday. I really need to make these fasts count. The BBQs and nights out are showing on the scale and the clothes. Haven't been very disciplined. Have been exercising alot though I…

Sorry gals, been very busy...hiking, SUPing, riding and meeting up with friends...oh and than a little bit of work. Short week because of ascension and the weather is awesome. Thus this is where I've been... Relaxing today and no plans for tomorrow. Weather will still be grand, so there might be some paddling or swimming…

Good job Meghan! I biked to work 3 times this week corresponding to my 3 light days. Not perfekt fasts but betwwen 600-900cals whilst burning 300. Thus all is good. Hoping for a weigh in under 63kg tomorrow...that would be close to before vacation weight :) Out to dinner tomorrow and a long hike on Saturday...looking…

Welcome back Meghan! Cindy hang in there! Had a good fast and biked to work. Thus net cals at around 300! Copy pasting to tomorrow including the bike ride. B)

Sorry can't help with the syncing...I always log my exercise manually. Hope you get it sorted.

Meghan, Cindy and Kate...you have been added to the elite leaders list :p

Hey Peops...off to a course for the next 3 days. So all bets are off. Thanks to those who said yes to admin rights. It does not involve any word. It's just that if the old admins disappear, someone else has the right to edit and delete ;-) Had a great afternoon with my sis. 3h on the lake with our Sips in gorgeous weather.…

I've done both. Mix and match as I wish. But my losses in 4:3 weeks aren't larger because I then tend to overcompensate on normal days. Everyone is different. Try it and see if it suits you. If not go back to what worked for you.

Thanks Kate! Had a very full weekend and was at a seminar yesterday. I was exhausted afterwards but so happy about the outcome. The emotional distress of the last month just fell off. I've been working on the same issue for 15yrs, on and off. Just never got to the root to solve it. Big bang yesterday. It shook me from top…

Hey Newbies Never be shy about posting here or in the weekly thread. Nobody judges in this group. Just here for info and support. Open to all questions and input. Yes fasts vary in difficulty. Don't get discouraged. If you go a bit over, no big deal. If you have to abandon a fast for whatever reason, just start again…

Thanks flossy and mama! Starting to get answers to some of my questions on the outside issues (guy problems). Clarity always helps even if it's not what I wanted to hear.... as far as the internal issues that surfaced through it all, I am seeing clearer there too. Programming a free spot in a full seminar on Sunday :p ,…

Beautiful pics! Where is that? Yes I love paddle boarding. Water always cleanses me and feels like vacation, even if I'm only there for a few hours. I forget that sometimes... Went clothes shopping with / for mom. We had fun and found some nice summer outfits for the both of us.... had a nice talk with her and I am getting…

Feeling much better... had a swim at 7am with my swim club friends (indoor pool ;-) ). Worked a half day with my fav colleague..only have one, but she's the best! And after a bit of grocery shopping I went paddling on the Rhine. Beautiful...peaceful...serene and I used leg, core and arm muscles for almost two hours. Fresh…

Thanks sweety. Feeling a bit better this morning :*
