The FastDay Forum

Hi everyone, week 3 weigh in for me and guess what, I've lost just under 3lbs this week. I am so please with that. Those who read my post yesterday, know by yesterday I'd only lost a lb. I ended up doing a 1/2 fast day and as if by magic another almost 2 lbs have gone. I don't think I lost 2lbs since yesterday, I just think my day to day weight is all over the show with this WOE. So this week my challenge is to stay off the scale until next Thursday, as I expect I will gain some of it back tomorrow and I want to ride this 3lb weight loss wave all week. That's 6.4lbs in 3 weeks. Whoop Whoop!!! Can it really be this easy? I don't feel like I'm even trying. I love this WOL so much.
A big thank you to all of you for your help and advice
Have a great day my fasting buddies x I'm going to be smiling all day. x

PS also 1/2 inch gone from around the middle. It's a great day !!!

Whoop whoop goooooooo justdee !



Just stay away from them bl&&dy scales!!!!

Hurrah justdee! Fabulous loss. Now step away from the scales!

Great weight loss, congrats!!

Congratulations Well done Dee
Yes you do need to address your addiction with the scales. Lol
Just sit back and let this amazing WOL do its ''magic ''
That makes you very close to the half-way mark off your goal
Brilliant Good Luck. Sue.

Well done and yes keep off the scales! But also be aware that your weight may well fluctuate a lot i the first few weeks, so don't get discouraged by this.

Woot well done!!!

Well done! I'm in week three too. I haven't weighed in but I know I am consistently using 4th hole in belt instead of 3rd and my jeans feel a bit looser around my legs! It's amazing. I've had cake, chocolate, chips on my normal days too (not all on the same day at the same time!). Agree not to go on scales too much - you'll see a bigger difference if you wait longer!!

Thanks everyone, I promise to stay away from the scale, from now on I'm a once a week weigher and as the weight slows down I will try to weigh less often.
Yes Sue I'm almost 1/2 way to my xmas goal of first stone off. I think I could actually reach that goal and then some (maybe, fingers crossed). I measured everywhere properly after posting this morning and as I said I've loss 1/2 inch off my waist, the best bit is I've lost almost an inch each off boobs, under boobs, hips and bum. I feel on top of the world. What a difference a day makes

Well done toffee14, isn't it great. Doesn't feel like I'm trying to lose weight at all. Good luck when you do weigh, I'm sure you'll be on cloud 9, as I am. Let us know how you get on.

As you said Dee '' What a difference a day makes ''.
Great news on all the measurements well I don't know about you but I truly believe that on this WOL I have noticed /& posted the difference that I've now got is nothing like any diet I have done previously so for you and your 1 stone at Christmas will probably look like 1+ half

That was my first post ''is this fatburning '' I remember saying that my
One stone loss looked on+ for me closer to the 2st mark
Hopefully you will find the same results then together We will show
all those that had doubted our capabilities
Sue.

Daily weighing is ok if you are prepared for the ups and downs. Apps like true weight and libra help with their trend line.

Great news Dee!

Thanks all. I thought I was totally ok with the ups and downs, after reading a great post about weight and water etc, that one of the mods posted. I suppose it takes a bit longer to break all the bad dieting habits of a life time. Yesterday it turned out I've not got my head round the ups and downs yet and will now only weigh in once a week. Weighing daily is no longer for me on this WOL. I just have to keep telling myself that.
Sue, when I started this WOL, I didn't really think I could lose a stone for xmas but needed a goal so went with it. I have to say it's looking more doable 3 weeks in. (Most other diets I've tried have failed before this time). If it ends up looking more like a stone and a half I'll be over the moon. Watch this space. I look forwards to joining you and showing all the doubters what we can do on this WOL.
Dee

Congrats!!
I have just started on this journey with you all. I'll be weighing in every 2 weeks!!
