The FastDay Forum

A new low on the scales: 11st 7.2 I haven't seen that number since I got married eleven years ago.

A new low waist measurement: I could probably fairly declare it as 30.5" but I am generously going to say it's an easy 31" Hips 41" but I don't remember what they were before as I deleted MFP from my phone a while ago. Bust is all out there - hello boys 32FF down from a tight 36G when I started 5:2.

I can comfortably do up my aspirational size 10 jeans Slight issue with the usual 'jeans now stay up but there's the muffin top again' issue but WHO CARES?!! These are the same cut/brand (Next relaxed skinny) that I've now owned in three sizes

Just tried on a very old and much loved size 10 dress from my clubbing days. Packed away for the last fourteen years but I might actually wear it again, if I can find a backless bra big enough The girls aren't quite what they used to be back then and pre BF twins Either that or with a shrug. I'm determined to wear it as it made me feel SO good when I tried it on.

Final test; the wedding dress. I was 11st 2 the day I got married and the day I can fit back in it I'm booking the renewal of vows that we've been thinking about for a few years

Now I just have to find something to wear tomorrow as my photographer is doing an out and about photo shoot with us on the beach... Off to blitz my wardrobe, yet again.

Slowly but surely, this tortoise is winning the race

Yay.....you go girl x

That is brilliant Winsome.

Hurrah for fasting & have a wonderful weekend all!

How is it going for Hubz?

I posted about the dress on a new thread

@CandiceMarie Hubby is doing really well and to be fair, him being on the plan has made sure that I am too, albeit I've changed from ADF to 5:2 plus eating windows because fasting on days when he wasn't suddenly felt harder and I wanted a change.

Anyway, he has lost over six lbs and is a belt notch down He feels comfortable in his trousers again. His plan is to get back to around 11 stone and then switch to a maintenance plan. At the moment he weighs 2lb less than me BUT he's 6" taller So, he's a very happy bunny too as it is working for him. I have been lecturing him about not under eating on feed days because I think he may be doing so, but I'm sure that won't be a problem in the long run when the novelty wears off The main thing is that like me, he's almost completely cut out processed bread and cut right back on alcohol.
