FastDay User Blogs

It's Boxing Day morning. I'm 39 and I'll be 40 at the end of September next year and I really want to be 12 stone by then. I'm 15st 10lb now. I have a nine month old boy and we're trying for a second. I want to lose weight to help us with that goal, but I also want to be fit and healthy for them. Most of all though, I want to be fit and healthy for me.

I tried fasting a couple of years ago but I tied it in with stopping sugar and alcohol for lent. I lost quite a bit but it all went back on. This time I want to lose the weight, get fit and maintain the weight loss forever hopefully.

After yesterday's Christmas gorge-fest (lovely) I'm avoiding going down to breakfast (we're staying in a hotel in Edinburgh, spending Christmas with family). There's another family meal this afternoon, and skipping breakfast seems like a good idea.
