The FastDay Forum

I have lost 3lb this week. I didn't have to do the bathroom scales shuffle (moving the scales all over the bathroom floor to find the lowest weight )
This will keep me motivated to keep on. I will reach my springing into fall challenge! I am determined

Great news, congratulations, keep going now

Congrats, karenm!

Well done

Well done karen another great start from you. Keep up the good work. I have no doubt you will make your challenge goal, I remember how fast you lost last time. Good luck.

Yay @karenm- that's great going! Well done you!

Very pleased to hear you've lost 6 blocks of butter - that's how I like to look at it, though I used to think in terms of bags of flour & sugar....but with metric confusion (I am a pounds & ounces kind of girl) I can only safely quote blocks of butter!!

However you look at it, you are off to a flying start!

Keep us posted....

Like@justdeei remember how well you did last time..you were the highest loser at least one month..and now here you are,back in the old routine and it feels good
Keep up the good work! X

Well done that's a great start for you @Karenm
Yes the motivation factor provider delivers just on time onwards into another week.

Thankyou everyone. I was highest loser in the October weigh in I think. I'm not sure I was still around in November as I did my usual.......I am really good at dieting and losing the weight. I am totally motivated and have all the tools to do it with the last 28 years practice. The biggest stumbling block I have is that once I achieve my target, I go totally off the rails! I decided to lose weight for my sisters wedding 10years ago. I joined weight watchers in nov 2003, got down to 10st3lb (and didn't like how bony I looked) in April 2004. I maintained until the wedding on August 14. Then I went mad. I don't think I remember going that mad with food. You'd think I'd not eaten for months! But with weightwatchers I was supposed to be able to maintain on about 24 points (old system) a day. For me I had to eat no more than 18 and have no extras. I was totally unhappy. My weight went back on at a rapid rate of knots.
This is just one in a catalogue of ups and downs of the yoyo.
What I noticed this time is that I tried to 16:8 before Christmas when ka was in hospital. So I reckon just the gain of 1.5 stone overall wasn't too bad and that was down to me knowing what I could do, but putting it off.
I am very lucky in that I don't find dieting too hard, and I know I will lose this extra weight. I enjoy challenges, even if I find them hard.
My biggest challenge will be in keeping it off! I may be a complete pest on the forums in order to keep me too busy and interested in everyone to leave. It is lovely seeing familiar people here
Sorry for the long post and Ty if you've made it this far.

So pleased at your success Karen, you are doing really well! Keep up the good work!

We're glad you've come back to us @Karenm. I hope everything has calmed down for you now, it's not easy trying to stay on track when so much is going on all around. You've given me a head start now (remember we started about the same time) and I'm going to do my best to stay in front of you (weight loss wise), I know I probably won't be able to do it (you're one hell of a quick loser) but I'll give it a go, hope you don't mind.

@justdee, I don't mind at all my lovely. The way today is going, you won't have much of a problem staying ahead. I've had a proper binge day! Had a big box of fudge, chocolate, bread, sweets, crisps, cheese and yoghurt. I've got chicken naps for tea. Will need to be good this week

Hi @Karenm
I'm go from lurking to posting a lot, don't ever feel you are being a pest, everyone has something valid to say.
