The FastDay Forum

This day last year I did my first fast. Gosh it was a hard slog! But I succeeded! And now a year later, today's weigh-in shows that I've shed 31.5kg (69.5 lbs; a smidge under 5 stone)
Plus:

• My waist has shrunk by at least 25 cm (10 inches)...not sure exactly how much as I didn't measure my waist at first.
• I've gone from a size 20 (UK) to a size 12.
• My BMI has decreased from 38.6 to 27
• My % body fat has gone from at least 50 (I didn't get body fat analyser scales until nearly 6 months in) to 36.7.
• My blood pressure has dropped from 150/100 to 127/80.
• I've learned a massive amount about weight loss, nutrition, metabolism, exercise.
• I've discovered that being hungry is just temporary.
• I've gone from feeling that my weight would continually increase until the associated health problems would send me to an early grave to feeling that I am in control of my weight and also my health.

And last, but by no means least, I've met a lovely bunch of virtual friends here on the forum.


In summary...its all good!

This year:
Today is the second anniversary of my first weigh-in - I forgot to post on my fastiversary! Oops!
Since this time last year

• I've lost a further 11 kg making a total of 42 kg in all.
• My waist has shrunk by a further 7cm.
• I've gone from a size 12 (UK) to a size 8-10.
• My BMI has decreased from 27 to 23.
• My % body fat has gone from 36.7 to 28.5.
• My blood pressure has dropped from 127/80 to 118/75.
• I've learned even more about weight loss, nutrition, metabolism, exercise.
• I reached my target (after lowering it a fair bit) and have been maintaining for nearly 6 months.
• I've made bringing fasting to others through my work with FastDay my goal.

And I have met some of my lovely forum friends in person, some via the magic of Skype and continued to make new friends here.

This year's summary then: it's even better!
