2nd fast of the week done yesterday and so happy with the scales today

I am now only 2 lbs off target, and have lost 29 lbs overall....

I hit my 2nd, smaller, target waist size too .... I have now lost 7 inches off my waist and am smaller than I have been in years .... My new size 8 trousers fit comfortably loose and my daughter is looking worried that I'll be able to fit in her clothes

(She is a tall,trim 12 yo who wears a ladies 6 - 8 )

I know it's a post fast low and some will go back over the weekend but I can almost smell maintenance now..... And I feel ready for summer for the first time in years

Oooh nice on eckat!
Well done
Bring on summer

Wow, congrats to you! Enjoy all the fun summer clothing

Well done that's got to make you feel good.

Fantastic. I hope that someday I have seven centimeters more off my waist. If only....

Fantastic news and a great inspiration to others too well done!

Fabulous Eckat, you must be so pleased. I am hoping for a similar weight loss to you, going for 21lb first then more if it feels right. Size 8 trousers with a daughter padlocking her wardrobe!! Yep, that would do me

Eckat, well done you must be feeling fab. My aim is a total of at least 6 in off waist so great to hear of someone who's done it! And your daughter must be very very afraid (but I bet she's secretly proud)

Oh well done congrats

Thanks everyone....

Yes I am very pleased.... I know I can do the last couple of pounds but I don't want to go lower than that as people are telling me I've lost enough now and
I desperately need some new underwear as well as new clothes in general....

I'm not sure my 12 year old needs to worry too much - I don't think her style will suit me - at least not for work

It's been a steady nearly 5 months to get to this, with rigorous tracking of calories and exercise too as I still over eat especially if I start on chocolate or Jaffa cakes.... So I still need to fast for maintenance (or learn some self control - unlikely!)

But if I can do it so can everybody else .... So keep going , 1 day at a time
