Well done Caroline and what the others said. You look fantastic. Thank you so much for all you give to us and being such a great role model. I hope this thread finds it's way to the inspirational stories thread, you certainly deserve it. Welcome to the maintaineers tent

So pleased and proud of you, always on hand with solid believable information, you prove the fasting way of life completely works.

Congratulations, Caro, what a fantastic result. Thanks, too, for all the information that you give us.

Aww, thank you all so much for your congratulations! I Had no internet all afternoon, and then I come back to find all these wonderful messages. I feel quite emotional...bless you.

To answer your questions
@Nicky_94 I haven't planned any special celebration for today but I think the Ludlow meet up for next Tuesday might qualify as my celebration!

@clairemarie when I was doing 5:2 (the first 8 months) I fasted all day and just ate dinner. Probably most days I ate dinner a bit earlier than I had the day before so I would say I did 20-22 hour fasts. I never cheated and had lunch but I didn't always stay below 500 cals. Since I have changed to 16:8 I have fasted for 16-20 hours each day. Most days are about 17-18 hours. I hope that answers your question.

@carieoates I can't really believe you are speechless!

@Moogie I don't want you to be jealous...you would easily have beaten me to goal if you hadn't had this awful health set back. Once you have healed you'll be powering along as before.

@Silverdarling well spotted, those are indeed the M&S Lift and sculpt jeans...clearly they are working given everyone's lovely comments!

@Pennyforthem it's a good thing I posted these pics then so you can recognise me on Tuesday!

Now I have to start the even harder part of the journey - keeping the weight off. I think with all of you to keep me in line, it should be possible.

thank you again
to each and every one of you.

Lovely news - what an amazing journey you've had. Congratulations on reaching your happy TARGET day. As other say, thanks for sharing and helping to keep us on track. Happy days

Caroline, you look AMAZING!! Huge congrats to you!

@carorees although I haven't lost quite as much, in that I only lost 5 stone/70lbs (56lbs through this WOL) it's quite amazing, isn't it? Yes, I will recognise you next Tuesday!
I have maintained under target since January now and reckon I have found the secret to success; constant vigilance!

Wow, amazing and wow! Well done x

You look fantastic Caroline, what a great achievement you've done and a great role model you are. Thanks so much for all the advice you have given along the way. I lok forward to seeing you in the maintenance tent...I guess you will be carryîg on with 16:8?? Well done xx

@carorees you look absolutely amazing! Huge congrats on your success - I always look on people's achievements and weight loss as one of the best things on this forum - when you can see how it works for others it motivates you to continue. You look great!

Many congratulations, you look so AMAZING and you are an INSPIRATION!!!! This gives me strength to continue on this journey. Thank you.

That's a fantastic achievement, and one I hope you are extremely proud of. You look fantastic and so happy and healthy.
