One good fast and one on the high end last week. But that's OK as I had an active weekend with less food than normal. Walked 12000 steps around Zürich yesterday and enjoyed the sun. Today I went for my first run in about 6 weeks. Only 45min and 6k, but it felt good!! Also added 25 squats, 10 push ups and 25 reversed…

Starting our weekly thread a bit late... I was in the mountains for a few days and got back yesterday. Mainly a very lazy weekend due to the weather, but I got in two walks and one little snow shoe hike. Lots of food and too much wine, great people and lots of fun. Still down 1.2kg since Jan 2nd and fasting today and…

Hey peops! Saw quite few of you really nailed the first week of 2016! Well done! Let's keep up the momentum and succeed this week too :D I had a pretty awesome but busy week. Very busy at work, sick colleague, last week at the stable too, etc. Had 3 pretty good fasts (4 if I count last Saturday) and after eating normally…

So here it is...on my first fast day of 2016, I went back to the 'books'. I am pretty much where I was at the beginning of 2014 (63kg) and 5-6kg over my stable low of 57-58kg. All of my measurements are up too. Maintainance kind of got away from me mid spring last year with a slight upward trend since then. Surprise,…

Let's call them GOALS not RESOLUTIONS ;-)
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve...What did you achieve in 2015 and where will you be next year? 2015: had my corrective tummy surgery, all went well, 1kg skin came off, but scar needs to be corrected in 2016 Had a tough year in many aspects. Solved some very old issues, working on the rest. Kept up with 5:2 even though many…

Well I'm off work for two weeks and have more plans than I wanted. ...but no social obligations today, that include a meal, thus I am sneaking in a fast B) Might be the only one I can get in until the 4th. Got up late, off to the hairdressers and later of to walk my care horse. So a fast should be no big problem. Only…

No food related obligations this week, so I'm planning two awesome fasts and lots of good maintainance days inbetween :p Also have some runs planned with my care horse. I kind of missed…

Had a good week. Not perfect but good and will try to continue with that B) The dent in my weight wasn't as big as I'd hoped for, but I'm OK with that. My starting point tomorrow should be quite a bit under last Monday, so the trend is OK. Great weather this weekend, so I got in about 23-25km of running and walking the…

Well....I've come to the conclusion that the weight I gained after my operation and in Dublin is not coming off unless I start logging my food on all days again. I'm just a foodie and have no problems eating more than my 1600-1700cals a day. So though my fasts have been OK the past few weeks and I've been doing lots of…

Last day in Dublin with the MFP Travelers B) Two tours today...a historical one and a fun city tour. And then probably good byes in the pub :'( Off to the airport very early on Monday and then definitely fasting on Tuesday. Lots of food and drinks have gone down the hatch. But we've walked an average of 20000 steps every…

Busy week with quite a few social obligations. Due to several very spontaneous meets, I had no real fast this week, but 2-3 low days. Weight is higher than I'd like but stable or sinking very very slowly. That won't get better for another 4 weeks, because life will be a bit crazy until then and I have a week of vacation in…

First day of summer....and it's pouring outside and only 13°C at 9am. Hope your weather is better! I also hope it drys up a bit this afternoon for a walk.

My fasts last week were less than perfect, that's a fact. I'm 1-2kg from where I wanted to be for my surgery, but that's just how it is. Other than that, I feel well prepared on all counts and am looking forward to the outcome. Doc thinks 1-1.5kg of skin will come off my tummy and abs. I hope, he weighs it, because I want…

Today I gave myself a present....a day with no appointments. It's a holiday Monday, so I was off work and as I fasted yesterday, I didn't fast today. I woke up rather early, made myself scrambeld eggs with some trimmings for breakfast and took the 8h bus to Schaffhausen. Then I hiked from the city along the Rhein, went…

Had a good week and ended at 57.9 on Saturday morning. Not as low as I had wished, but not bad. A very indulgent weekend. ..Cooked for mom, sis and family. Rack of lamb, asparagus, carrots and potatoes . Very yummy if I do say so myself. Too much alcohol for me... but my sis says I'm a cheap date ;-) One more b2b on mo/tu.…

A rainy three day weekend in Switzerland, but that's OK. Got some stuff done that has been laying around for a while and I got myself back on my rebounder.

This week flew by.... It's already April! I'm still not where I'd like to be food wise. It's been a mentally and emotionally challenging time in many ways.

Time for the most important post of the week, our new weekly thread :p Had my last really busy week. So glad the marathon has ended. Foodwise I definitely overdid it on my non fast days.
