Hi, haven't been on here for ages but just wanted to check in with my progress. I reached my 10kg (1stone 8 lbs) since November. Never thought I would actually do it. Have a new goal now of another 6 kg's (almost a stone). This would bring me to 60 kg's or 9 and a half stone. Currently 66kg's or 10st 5. Worth sticking to…

Weigh in day! Started early November SW 76 Today 68.9 Lost another 600 grams this week (over a pound) I am still losing roughly a pound a week despite xmas, holidays and excessive birthdays. I don't count calories any other day or think about my TDEE. But I do eat low carb and think it helps. I have alcohol 5 days a week…

Thanks all! I agree Carbmonster. I seem to lose on my thighs and boobs and finally the weight loss inches towards each other to meet in the middle!

Down a size in jeans!

Hi, I am not giving up wine even though it doesn't help but I am eating low carb and have learned not to weigh myself if i have a carb high day. Low carb is the way to go for me, and I will do it forever. I see a few other Queenslanders here. Isn't this weather the pits? I have tickets to the cricket tonight. :-(

Hey @bmoregan, I watched that too and it confirmed that what I am already doing is right for me! I have been doing 5/2 since November and low carb seriously for a couple of months. I started low carb for health not weight reasons so that has been a huge bonus. My husband is starting to do both 5/2 and lowcarb after…

Thanks!

Weigh in day for me. 69.8! That's a 6! SW 76. Hope you all get good results

And I am back from my beach holiday, but you don't get to see photos of me in swimmers! Only put on about half a kilo or a lb, so I am happy. Doing 4/3 this week to make up for it. 1 down, 2 to go but should be at least back to the old weight by Friday. I had limited internet so missed lots of posts and too many to read.…

Please ignore. Problem solved, cannot remove this question, only edit it!It is now displaying as I wanted.

True @EmmaOnTrack! No change this week. Might have to do 4/3 next week.

Safe from Oreo's here in Oz too, pretty much! Who knew living in London could be so dangerous! Good luck, Snaps!

@Debbie, do you think you put on because you ate too much, or because your metabolism had changed, when you stopped 5/2?

Weighed in. Finally started losing again. Have now lost 5 kilos since beginning November. c

Hi, good to see some new posters on here. I know what you mean about not being hungry much after fasting but as I like a wine or two at night, I manage to use up all the calories. Not that I count them on NF days. I have been sleeping a lot too the last couple of days which I wasn't before. Fasting tomorrow. Hoping that it…

Ever since xmas fasting has been a bit tougher, for some reason. I maintain the fast but feel hungry way more. Hope this passes. Fasted yesterday and have woken up starving when I am not usually hungry until 11ish fasting or not. Trying to imagine that all my fat is being eaten away by those pangs. I have been on a bit of…

2015 here this morning. Happy New Year everyone and congrats to @Oricam! ;-)

Thanks, @thecarbmonster! I will be living in Connecticut next year for a few months (currently in Australia), I will look out for them but maybe not go inside!

Thanks, Flumi

Try this. They sent this to me. Quote from an email. 1. Put on your Fitbit Flex and make sure your dominant/non-dominant hand setting is correct. (To find this setting, click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen and click Settings › Devices.) 2. Pause for several moments. (We want to make sure that the…

I have found the customer service excellent and so has a friend of mine.

Who else looked at the scales this morning? I wasn’t going to look till Friday but risked it after fasting yesterday. First time on the scales since before xmas. And I was nervous. Only fasted once over xmas week and obviously ate and drank much more than usual as well as sitting around more. Thank goodness I am happy with…

@flumi_f , wow 45 kilos between you! That is inspiring!

Yep, overate yesterday at a party. Fasting today, woke up still feeling full! I have lost 4 kilos since I started but I think nothing more is seriously going to happen until January. I am just hoping to maintain over xmas. Wish me luck and good luck to you all!

Well done, @Flumi. I don't know, it is pretty hard to avoid carbs this week.

Thanks, @eychen! You are right about it getting easier! Not sure how this coming week will go, I imagine it will be a miracle to lose weight so I think I will aim not to put weight on and hope for the best! It is actually so hot where I live that it much easier to stay in with air con and partake of xmas cheer than…

Weigh in day for me and 100 grams up. Those carbs! Also had miso soup yesterday while fasting. Delicious but salty so maybe contributing to fluid retention. You win some, you lose some. Could have been worse given the time of year!

Thanks for all that advice. Food for thought! I do eat heavy bread when I eat bread but I don't eat it often because of the issues. Last night my german visitors cooked up spaetzle for dinner. Absolutely delicious but based on flour so about a kilo up from Tuesday's weight. I really hope whatever the cause, that the…

Thanks, Flumi. That is what I am doing. Reducing but not giving up completely.

Ha, KCD. Your gym is so cool we won't accept any excuses for not exercising, out you go! ;)
