The FastDay Forum

Not skulking! Too busy cooking and, recently, making bread rolls (happy FatDog has genuinely edible low-carb bread rolls at last - see yesterday's log) and dancing round the living room celebrating the V&P vary-fairy's magic on the scales this morning. I'm at the top of eight stone zilch (112.8lbs) on the digital scales today : reeling about it (in all senses)!

Sorry you're stalled @rawkaren - had a few weeks stuck myself and it is *so* frustrating and miserable making - especially when one is doing everything 'right'. I'm not sure what shifts things - but being more rigorous about keeping the carbs low would 'appear' to help... It'll move xxx FatDog

Well not much of a xmas party going on in here! I think we all shifted to the official xmas tent, so maybe this is just now a table in the big tent!

So I had my annual medical today (physical). When I get the full set of data I will post a report, but overall, everything going in the right direction (going down). Including my height. So I have officially shrunk. I'm now 5ft 2.5 inches or 158cm. And I always thought I was slightly taller than 5.3!

Glad all heading the right way after all the hard work youve put in

I too used to be a stately five three and a bit.....am now a midgety five foot two and a bit ...
With my BMI and waist size,i should be eight foot five by rights ;0) X

Is there room in this tent for me? I am Jill from Australia. I am 155cm tall and about the same in width In fact, it is probably faster to jump over me than go round! You all are so trim taut and terrific reading from your signatures while I have HEAPS to lose. I am only in Week one on this plan so far and motivated. Ive lost the weight and regained it more times than I can count. Hoping I can lose it and keep it off THIS time!!

Welcome Jill! X

Welcome Jill. Plenty of room in here. Lots of advice and support from all of us here. Good luck. You can do this

Morning, oh short ones, how are we all??!!
I'm in sunny Perth for a few days prior to starting work and trying to keep myself busy. May have to be house cleaning as it doesn't look as though it's been done for a while! Always hard trying to entertain yourself in someone else's house, may have to see if anyone else on the forum is in Perth.

Hi Debs,hope you settle in ok x

I have also gone from 5ft 31/4 to 5ft 21/2 not happy that means I have to wear higher heels The old adage age doesn't come alone springs to mind.

I quickly browsed through and this is depressing, I think I'm the shortest here at 5ft 1/2 (154 cm)

My gripe is that my BMI still has me as overweight. I'm the lightest weight I've been since i was 20 .. so may be "heavy" at 131 pounds, but I carry my weight on my hips, so my chest is nonexistent and my face is rather gaunt that I feel it looks like a crumpled up paper bag

Oh well, Im glad to be in your tent

Well, I haven't been here in awhile - hi, everyone! It's not a fast day for me, but as it's snowing and 5°F and I get to stay in, I think I'll have a semi-fast. Turkey soup for dinner!

@jeninboston, you are very welcome here, but can't claim the title of Shortest Camper! @Callyanna and @fatdog are both shorter than you, and I'm the winner at 4'10"! So don't be depressed Furthermore, as I've already mentioned, I have short pride and so should you. For starters, we curl up nicely on bus and plane seats.

Yes, more power to the Petites is what I say! Welcome to the gang Jen!

Wendyjane - so true!! I like that I can sleep on planes whilst everyone complains their knees knocking the seat in front ... and now my hips fit comfortably into the seat, well, there's no holding me back

It looks like your BMI entered the healthy range just today, @jeninboston.

Congrats! Here's a bouquet for you.

Good morning short people, it is Fast Day #3 for me today. I didn't have a good night's sleep and got up at 5.30am because I knew I would not go back to sleep and all the anxieties crowd in if I just lie there awake, so it will be a loooong day for me today. AND it is weigh in day as well. It is a nice rainy day here in inland NSW. Hubby has gone hopefully out to the golf course to see if there are any other silly old fossils wanting to have a game today . I expect he will be back again momentarily
Have a good day everyone.
