The FastDay Forum

Saturday weigh in for me after 3 fasts...

Rubbish really, I am the same as last week, however I have been up, down, down and back up again

I'll do better this week!

Good luck everyone. X

On the up! 126.8 but still within acceptable range. Six days to rein it in a bit before our meet up at Fortnum and Masons and the yummy classic afternoon tea next Saturday! Looking forward to this weeks fasts, I wonder why
Well done everyone, nice to see so many giving it a good go.

Well done @warriorprincess! Thats one stone AND one pound down
Best of luck with phase two x
Halfway thru thus challenge,ive lost seven and a half of the eight pounds i pledged to lose on the Super Summer Challenge
Very pleased..will reset my goal when i lose that elusive half pound over the next week! X

@WarriorPrincess@CandiceMarie - wow - well done, that's great news, congrats to you both. Candice is it the challenge that's helped you, or summer, or just the right time type thing?

@lizbean its Slimming World thats helping at the moment!
I keep in mind all week a mental image of stepping on the SW scales and how happy i will be if there's a result. Nobody there is judgmental..losses are celebrated..if there are gains,you can look for reasons why with the Consultant if you wish
Tho i don't stay usually for the Group meeting,i have a good chat with fellow members while we wait to get weighed.
The Class is held near where my DD lives..so I can combine with visiting her / having dinner afterwards (several good Restaurants close by and i stick to meat and veg or salad) The class is held in a cricket club so we sometimes pop into the bar for a diet Coke post weigh in.
Have got into a nice little routine and as i'm fasting too, i feel SW helps enormously on temptational non fast Days!
I really don't like giving money to the multimillion diet industry but i have to do whatever it takes to get the weight off! X sorry for rambling reply!

SW: 12 st 7 (7th June 2015)
CW : 12 st 0 (4th July 2015)
Gw: 11 st 6 (?? 2015)

Considering yesterday wasn't a fast day, I think I'm still on target to reach my goal of a "healthy" bmi by the end of the month. Well, maybe not but 1-2 pounds above won't really bother me. I blame the heat for making me feel bloated lol.

Good luck everyone

@CandiceMarie - ah I remember now, I wasn't on the forum much last week, in fact very little - it's amazing how long it takes to catch up/remember etc. So pleased to hear the weekly weigh and SW is helping your TDEE days and you have found a nice routine, sounds like a fabulous evening of activities! Interesting to see the combo, 52/SW I wonder if anyone else has tried it.
@Flic congtrats on your 7lb loss, well done.

Thanks @lizbean x
DD is on the Facebook 5:2 group,and she said lots peeps there are doing 5:2/SW x
Well done @Flic!X

Not sure if this is a late Week 5 weight declaration or an early Week 6 one - but today's weight is 11.5.5 - 1.25 pounds down on last week. SO pleased - that's on track for reaching my target of 11st 4 by the end of the month ... though two work trips and a certain afternoon tea event on Saturday lie in wait between now & then. Really delighted with today's progress though.

I lost 4 1/2 lb this week,total of 11 1/2 lb ..really pleased!...week 5 i think?...
my target was 8 lb so i now set new pledge to make it a stone down by end of july x

@CandiceMarie wow that's fab news. Sending you respect and hugs, as you really show us the ways to be, amazing. How's it for you, feeling good? xx

Yay, 70.80kg (11st 2.09lbs, 156.09lbs - still trying to get used to stones and pounds after over 20 years in the UK ) seems to be my 'new', 'proper' weight. Weighed myself on Monday, which was after a fast day and again today and it's still the same.
All my clothes from 3 years ago fit again (although I have yet to try my old climbing harness ) ...I'm almost wondering if I should just stop losing here or continue to my randomly set challenge target of 68kg. I don't think I have been lighter than what I am now for the last ten years (or even longer...) - I guess I'll just continue with 5:2 and 'good food' for the time being and see what happens....

First of all, may I send a huge round of applause to our very own Candy!! 11 and a half pounds OFF ? 4 and a half of which came off this week?! That is just wonderful. Well done little Moomin xx
Also well done to @Flic and to @turtlegirl for losing 7pounds (HALF a stone) and for reaching goal! You are all a great inspiration to us all...thank you.

When does this challenge finish, I can't remember? My weigh-in is tomorrow. As I've bean on holiday I'd be pleased with a plateau (although I secretly want to lose loads!)
Hey ho! Wish me luck
Bean xx

Seriously impressed, dear @candicemarie. You must feel great!
And everybody who is losing, maintaining and hanging on in there.... well done!
Three weeks to go to the end of this summer challenge.... you can do it! Be proud, peeps!

Very good going folks, @CandiceMarie especially, big hugs all round.
I've had a busy grandchildren week (poorlies) so not much attention paid to food, but I seem to be not too bad at 74.9kg today, from 76kg start.
Could do better and will try, though Big Son and family coming Saturday so anything can happen :0)
The main thing is I'm eating real food (except for chocolate rice cakes last night, medicine for a headache) and eating when I'm properly hungry rather than set times.
Onwards dear friends, downwards

I did an extra fast this week as the next week may be a bit calorie heavy ... and this morning - post fast - I am 11st 4 and I HAVE HIT MY SUMMER CHALLENGE TARGET!!!!!
I'm completely delighted ... and completely astonished! A couple of pounds will of course probably reappear next week but now I know its possible I'll reset my target to 11st 2.75 by the end of the challenge - and I'll tell you why if I manage to get there!
