The FastDay Forum

I wouldn't make it up the first hill, difficult enough counting calories without worrying about carb consumption at the moment. But I will join you on the other two

Please don't let the number bother you. It counts just as much if you just notice carbs more and refuse to eat them. The hope is that you'll experience some interesting results.

I'm here and joining in for the few minutes a day. Not into jumping!
1) been doing well keeping carbs to 50g per day, which really helped weight loss,
BUT last 3 days have been reaching for nuts, my mind-talk telling me they are nutritious and good fats..yet ignoring their carbs!! However one can't gobble them with impunity so risk undoing my recent unusual weight loss! So I am now bringing out my consciousness/mindfulness.
2) happy to do heel raises, put the nut jars out of reach even then, 3) am focussing as recommended on the 2cms gap (I do go to the gym twice a week).

#6 here.
Hill 1:- 51g carbs today :0)
Hill 2:- 30 toe tippers *ouch my calves*
Hill 3:- um, yet to do this ... Fully intend to
Weight:- 78.2kgs :0(

May I counsel caution when undertaking @ADFnFuel's bonus challenge. My husband found me bouncing up and down on a kitchen chair whilst clutching a knife and fork (thankfully NOT moaning!) and didn't seem to be satisfied by my explanation that a random bloke who I met on the internet told me to do it! Behind closed doors methinks! Also impressed by how much huffy puffy such a little exercise can cause.

lol- do plies count?

Uh ... switch to spoons to be less threatening? And put on some music?

Fri. check-in from #8
Goal 1 Yes, lost a pound. Down to 221 and fasting tomorrow.
Goal 2 1/2 yes - walking more slowly, but further each time. Not 5 days a week yet.
No hills yet, but back to medical tent again to use their treadmill. Flirting must have worked, for they want a moving picture of my heart! Wish me luck. I will be stressed.

#6 Friday weigh in:- 77.4kgs
Woohoooo :0)
Edit:- Hill 1- days carbs = 72g whoops :0(
Spent the day walking round a zoo so no strength left for Hills 2 & 3 as dodgy hip sore :0(
Will try to do my 'Hills' tomorrow, guv

Friday weigh-in (forgotten my number!): Today I am 10:10 (my lowest weight in years - woohoo!!)
That's a loss of 1 and a half pounds! I'm a very happy Bean!
And now to the best day of the week - Chocolate day!!!
Bean xx

#2 here:

Protein for the week
Friday 60g; Saturday 75g; Sunday 60g; Monday 65g; Tuesday 60g; Wednesday 60g; Thursday 40 g

Hill 1 : probably blew the carb limit yesterday as I had a rare fish and chips and then some apple juice
Hill 2 : Ok with this, strong legs.
Hill 3 : I find this difficult because with short legs when I sit on the chair my feet only just touch the floor and I can't just push against the floor to stand up I have to lean forward a bit to make full contact, so the movement is jerky. Also not sure exactly how to grasp the cutlery - is this exercise on YouTube?

#1 checking in, very excited! 14st 7 this morning!!! The weight seems to be falling off, still finding fasting difficult on some days but this has spurred me on. 8lbs more pounds to lose in April, might be a bit of a stretch but I'm going to give it a good try

Well done @Cupcake it sounds as though it's all coming together nicely! How often do you fast?

Checking in:

CSW: 141 lbs (3-28-16)
Previous CGW: 138 lbs
4-1-16: 139.6 lbs
4-8-16: 138.6 lbs
New CGW: 137lbs.

Woo hooooo! 1 pound down from last week! The way my body works, I'm sure I'll be up 2 pounds randomly next week. In either case, I'm going to bite the bullet and change my CGW to 137 lbs. Not super risky, I know. But I know my body. It's really fighting me on losing any more weight. I am not doing well with my step counts this week. I've only reached 10,000 on 1 day. Seems like you guys are doing pretty well on this challenge. Let's keep it up!

You Aussies and Kiwis sure take your sports seriously!

Thank you for that post! I was cracking up. Made my day (well, other than losing a pound )
