The FastDay Forum

Today I am wearing some trousers that haven't fit since before pregnancy (my little one is 2 now).

I have lost about 6lbs in 6 weeks, but somehow this hasn't been enough for me. it's been hard to feel confident that my body is getting slimmer, and the temptation to try something different has been there. I think most of my clothes were stretched to their limits so while they are a bit looser it wasn't obvious that things were changing.

I just chucked away a weightwatchers flyer through ny door. I will stick with fasting then eating cake

Wow - well done you! I have yet to see evidence - haven't weighed yet and 10 fasts in (weighing after 50 days as the scales are not my friend and I lose motivation) but have had people say that I look slimmer and I feel a bit slimmer (I think!) but I sound a bit like you and don't believe it til I see it etc etc.... I hope this works for me as I have tried all the other stuff (have just cancelled my subscription to Slimming World!)....have taken heart from the fact that it is working for you ....will keep you posted as to whether it works for me too ... I too like the fact that you only deprive yourself for 2 days ....much easier to bear than waking up every morning knowing your are on a diet and have to be super good! Well done again - enjoy those trousers!! x

That's brilliant, well done

Hi Ema and Bekle,

Well done to both of you, keep it up and you will get there. I tried WW and although I lost weight I also found it a very hard regime and could not continue which meant that the weight I had lost came back faster that it took to lose it plus a bit extra just to rub in what a waste of time it had all been, for me!

This is my life now, I am now under my target weight and am fully confident that I shall never regain the lost pounds as this is comfortable, do-able and most importantly, enjoyable so keep going, you are both doing great and will get there.

Keep us updated of your success, good luck,
