Today brings an end to my 6 week challenge. And today's weigh-in has gotten me down to my lowest...164.6 lbs!! So from 170.6 to 164.6 an loss of 6 pounds. I am totally pleased with that. Half way through the challenge I really thought I would have had to write on this day and say "although I didn't reach my goal...", but I…

I was watching a show last night about salt and I was shocked then the presenter added extra salt for a week (I think it was a week) and in the first few day she gained over 3kg of water weight!!! Makes sense, but it is shocking how much water weighs. So how can you tell if its water weight or weigh weight?
-
Sorry for your loss. Keep strong :)

Hey everyone, it is my last week of this challenge. Sunday's weigh-in gave me a shock at 165.2lbs...3.2lbs down from last week. I would be thrilled if I see that number again next Sunday, right before my B-day. Yesterdays fast went well and my next fast is on Friday. I get to make a trip to the American food Store in…

Thanks foamroller! Todays fast day and it's super hot and it is my kids schools summer fair! I will let them run around a bit and I will resist any candy floss/cotton candy :p Then I will come home and have my 500cal dinner. One week left of this challenge and then it's the 35 b-day!

Made it through my little girl's b-day. Ended the day in a bit of a 'food coma', but surprise, surprise, the left over chocolate cake ended up in the bin. No hiding the rest in the cupboard and secretly eating the rest the next day, so small victory. Will try to keep myself under control today and fasting tomorrow.
-
So glad to see you back! and Congrats on the diploma!

Week 5 of the challenge. Man, 6 weeks goes quick. So ... Weigh-in on Sunday went well and I'm down 1.2 lbs. This week is going to be tough one. One of my little girls b-day is Wednesday so it will be chocolate cake and lasagne, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sorry...yum. On a bright note…

Feeling good today. Put on some old summer clothes today and they were so much looser. And one of the mums at school that I haven't spoken to in a while said, "you have lost so much weight, there's nothing left" What a boost...even though I do have a bit left. 2nd fast day tomorrow, good luck to everyone :smiley:

Week four of my six week challenge. Weigh-in on Sunday had me at 0.6lb gain...MOVIN ON :* Fast day today...dinner all planned out and I'm still nursing my Americano. 3hrs until dinner time, so all good. Planned Exercise will be my challenge for this week...not just walking around the shops, but WORKOUT VIDEO or WII. Got to…

Welcome to the group! You have found great group of people. Check out our weekly post...most of us check in there and support each other. With a bit of trial and error you will find what's best for you. For me, my fasts are made up of tea or coffee until dinner time where I spend my 500cals (if I eat before then I wake the…

Sorry too, cal0rina. Like flumi_f says, be kind to yourself. We are all here for you and will support you in any way we can. Food is a wonderful comfort, but other things that make you happy can help too. Focus on the little things and exercise that doesn't seem like exercise will help.
-
I am so glad you are doing so well. I am sure the end result is going to be fabulous! I must be so strange to see the 'extras' missing, strange but wonderful. Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing day too.
-
Oh and I have completed my new workout outfit with a proper 'over the shoulder bolder holder'...fun...so no more excuses (slap on hand).
-
Ok...After completely falling on my face on Friday (Splat!), my Sunday weigh-in revealed...168.8! That's 1.8lbs down since the start of the challenge, whoohoo! Welcome to week 3! Yesterday went well came in at 1385cals way good for a TDEE day (missed lunch). And today is looking good too missed breakie...spilt my Carmel…

Oh no, I am so not a good poster girl for this challenge. I had 1900 calories just in snacks yesterday (head hung in sham). That has to be a new low. This morning I know why...my monthly came. Going to pick myself or scrap myself off the floor and move on. Hope other are doing well. Have a great weekend.
-
Fast day today and doing very well. Only had a skinny iced Americano this morning and planning pasta for dinner. I have only been feeling ... Well, not very talkative today, like my body's in rest mode. Will weigh myself after this fast (tomorrow morning) and so how my 'low' weight looks. Cheers fellow fasters B)
-
You are a champion!! So glad to hear from you and so soon after your surgery. Take it easy girl, no splitting any stitches now. ;)
-
Had a successful TDEE day yesterday, those are the days I struggle with. And today the kids had a McDonald's dinner and I resisted, Hoarah!! Couldn't resist my starbucks though :p...but overall I think I will come in at my TDEE.
-
Okay...first week down of the 6 week challenge and only .2lbs to show for it :# But today is a new day and it is a fast day. Had a skinny coffee frapp and that's it so far and four more hours until dinner. I've burnt 465 calories walking this morning too! Oh and I also announced to the house that we will not have pizza…
-
@flumi_f I am so happy for you. Just keep yourself well and rested afterwards and even if you're not fasting we would love to hear how you are. You are in my thoughts and take care :)
-
Well, weigh in today and lost .2 ... @jknight001 we're twins. But this week back to normal, kids back in school hurrah!
-
What a difference a fast makes! Weighed myself after my fast on Friday and I was 167.2! Down from 170.6! I know it wont last long, but it was a nice pick me up to see that number again :)
-
Fast day for me today. Just started on my first tea, 29cals. Enjoyed a little too much with the kids yesterday, but did tons of walking and I bought a skipping rope, it counts calories and MIL/KM and it was only £3 :)
-
A great app for your phone to track walking etc... is runtastic...it tracks you distance, journey and speed and estimates burnt calories. The greatest part is is links to MFP and uploads the activity automatically. Just have to remember to turn it off when you finish walking around the shops and jump in the car...it then…

What a beautiful walk @Flumi_f. Love the pics!

Yesterday was a day out with the kids just managed to break even at my TDEE with a combination of activity and convenience food. Today I was going to do my first fast, but woke-up with a terrible sore throat and blocked nose. Going to take it easy today and keep below my TDEE. Tomorrow I am already planning the day with…
-
Hey all! It's so quiet here....where's everyone gone :( Fast day for me to day and it was a killer...I was running all morning and didn't have anything. Over indulged yesterday so feeling extra tired today. Just had my dinner and am happy now, but still tired...want to crawl into bed. Next Monday marks 6 weeks til my…

I found that if I have a bunch of sugar or caffeine the day before and then the next morning/day I have a headache. Withdrawal...you know. But that's just me. Maybe have a look at what you are eating on some days and not eating on others...could be a lack of something? That's my best guess, but it sounds like you're…
