The FastDay Forum

Starting a topic again. Hmm. Maybe this way I'll eventually get the hang of it!!
With various events yesterday my schedule was really upset. I tried not to eat too much, but the scales this morning were over 60 kg. Phew.
Some of you have said that I do not really need to lose weight, because of my exalted age (very soon to be 60). But I cannot now fit into any of my summer clothes, and I cannot afford to buy a new wardrobe. It is very frustrating.
So starting from today I will start every other day fasting for the next couple of weeks. I've been doing 5:2 for weeks now and basically have maintained my weight. Apart from yesterday! I used to loose on 5:2. Is this all because of getting older now???
I am about 5 foot 2 and I do not have lunches..... so???
I am not enjoying today's fasting at all, either. Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy.
If there are any other fasters there let me wish you a better day.

Ooh @margotsylvia - surely you're not all alone today? Where are the others?

Very sorry that you are feeling a bit fed up....so here's a hug from me! I'm afraid I have no answers for you other than to curse your scales....and put a pox on them (or whatever they would do in the olden days!). I don't much like my scales either at the moment - I've been a really good girl all week, gone without lots of yummy things....and the scales currently say I've lost 0.4 of a pound....in nearly 5 days. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Still, going to have to keep going & pray for a magical shift of excess flab by Monday morning, my proper weigh-in day!

Keep the faith - maybe it will do you a lot of good to mix things up a bit....or even come off for a week. Stranger things have happened....

Best of luck....& keep sharing!

Don't give up Margotsylvia,it's hard but just keep going,and you are not old,no way
