The FastDay Forum

Umleilla. Don't worry about the 5 pounds. You'd have to eat 15000 more cals than what you've burned to gain that in fat. It is probably mostly fluid retention. I think ADF is a bit extreme. I would suggest to do the regular 5:2 w/o overeating in feed days and continue walking. Next week's weigh in would be much better, I think

I'm sending happy step wishes to everyone for the weekend. Go knock them out.

Thanks golinda and Einatlb. You're right of course Einatlb. I did a liquid fast yesterday and am about to have my breakfast soon when the rest of the family wakes up. I think it was the shock if the first weigh in where I didn't actually lose or maintain my weight.
I'm feeling less panicked now and more logical

Well, yesterday I started the day with 17,000 odd steps and hot all sorts of badges that I hadn't really done! Maybe one day I really will achieve 35,000
steps in a day, but I'm not overly optimistic.

Rockyromero have you left our fitbit group? I hope not. Most of us have a great attachment to the forum here because it has helped us so much and we have found kindred spirits. The fitbit site is useful but it doesn't have the same vibe. At least not for me.

Have a great weekend everyone

Celebrating our 25th anniversary in the best city in the world. Stayed in a hotel overnight. Woke up today early and went for a long walk. It Was great to watch the city waking up...and by 9 I already did 11k steps. Then went out again with my hubby and it is now 1:50 and I already did 19700 steps ...also bought 2 pairs of shoes at Macy's last night we went to a play, "Tennessee Williams The two characters play" which was really interesting... the acting was amazing but the play by itself was a bit weird, very interesting though....I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and doing lots of steps.
