The FastDay Forum

Hi everyone

This is my 3rd week and going to Fast on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

My Husband bought the scales back in from the garden shed yesterday - don't worry they're back out there now though as I am not interested (too much) in what figure they give up, BUT ..

My OH was convinced I'd lost weight so got me to jump on the scales. I put an eye mask on so I couldn't see AND guess what - apparently I have lost weight - yeah!! BUT have no clue how much!! BOOO - Although he did say that my BMI is now 30.1 from 31.3, and I've lost nearly 2" off my waist, so onwards and downwards!!

I am going to officially weigh in on the 1st of each month and hope to have even better results. That's when I'll fill in my progress tracker.

Hope everyone else is getting on ok too

What willpower - only weighing once a month! I only weigh once a week and, like you, am just into my third week, but fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. All seems to be going well, so far. Fast days have been fine, although I read somewhere that the fifth week is tricky for some people. We'll just have to wait and see!
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Sunshine24 you need to change your name to 'WILL OF STEEL' lol!

Definitely don't have great willpower, it's more a case of being too scared to jump on the scales as I know if I haven't lost anything, or even very much, then I become destructive to myself by sabotaging my diet by eating anything and everything in sight (it becomes a good excuse to break a diet if it appears that it isn't working). So I am always more successful when I dont weigh in. I am going by my clothes which are getting looser and I did an old jacket up yesterday, which I hadn't been able to do that for ages! I will probably get the OH to weigh me again on the 1st but may still not want to know

I've just posted about why the scales might show a weight increase despite following the 'rules'. If you are worried about what your scales are showing, please do read it. linky

Thanks Carorees, just read it - very interesting.
