The FastDay Forum

Hi, #75 checking in here! Today I weigh 54.6 kg, which is a new low for me. Seems my weight loss is slowing down a bit, but I can't complain since I'm getting closer to my goal weight.

I baked a yummy cheese cake last week, only to discover that the husband doesn't like cheese cake! So I was bound to finish the cake by myself... good thing I only made half recipe . But eating a slice of cheese cake every day was so not helping the weight loss.

It also doesn't help having events almost every weekend til Christmas now ... this season is hard for weight loss!

My Libra app predicted that I can reach the Christmas goal by early December.. we'll see about that! Meanwhile I'm gonna be switching to 5:2 + 16:8 for a while to kick it up.

Oh crieky- I can't weigh til tomorrow as no access to a scales - is that ok @Juliana.Rivers

@Juliana.Rivers sorry please read last post

Grrrr! still above my lowest weight after last months carb binging. I am finding that its easier to do full day liquid fasts ad the hunger monster isn't 'activated' anywhere nearly as much as having just the one meal in the evening (which is better again than 2 or 3 meals). But even with the subsequently lower calories this will gain me, I still haven't broken through the lowest weight barrier.

Perseverence is the key, I have 4 weeks till my date with my surgeon, I am going to break through that barrier long before then and be below a BMI of 40.

Good on you Julie, we are rooting for you. It is sooo important that you do this. I am still maintaining quite happily but the hard time is coming as we ramp up to Christmas. Hope all goes well for everybody.

For those who are on maintenance we should really develop some way of indicating our success (as it can't be measured by weight lost). Perhaps we could give ourselves 'bonus' points for each week 'on track'. 5 points per week since joining the club? Better suggestions are welcome!

Number 122 here checking in, stats below and very happy

Member #124 reporting in with a loss of 100grams today. Seems paltry but I'll take it (plus my buddha belly is definitely flatter so that's a bonus!)

Morning Christmas Clubbers

PS never thought I would see number 54 on scales again

Yes, of course. No hard and fast rules. i forgot to write down my weight yesterday on my fridge wall or i was a day out so i missed one.

Sounds a great idea! Or maybe you could visualize the kg you haven't regained! If you think how the weight was gradually increasing before starting 5:2, each week of maintenance is another, I don't know, 200g not regained?

#3 checking in after a few away days in Begium, home of chocolate, beer, patisserie and lace (thank goodness you can't eat lace!)

I have walked a lot, eaten a lot, drunk a bit (OK, probably a lot), been humbled at the war graves and got very wet.

Erm... weight? Well, that's for me to know and you lot to guess (for now!!)
