The FastDay Forum

I've just read this thread in one go. Amazing transformation. Well done!

@carorees, it's what I did but it asks me if I put on the right number as I am now underweight but there is no box to confirm that it's ok. I have now a 18.38 BMI which the tracker doesn't accept. However it's not a concern as I should put on the weight missing very soon

[carorees]

ah, ok, but we should tell @moogie about the progress tracker not accepting a weight below normal BMI.

[Moogie]

I put in the BMI check to try not to encourage people to be underweight. I guess I could lower the threshold to 18 to be fair?

I don't plan to stay underweight and I am only 1kg to gain to be to a "normal" weight so don't worry, it's ok as far as I am concerned, I completely understand your position. 48kg for 1.62 is too low

First of all, Bonne et Heureuse Année to everyone (Good and Happy New Year):party:

I weighted myself a few minutes ago. First weight of the year, just after a big meal (between 1:00PM and 4:00PM the meal, difficult to make it bigger) , I am a bit masochistic sometimes, and the verdict is........

drum roll...

The exact same weight that 2 weeks ago. I can't understand how it's possible. Please don't make fun of me, I know it's no big deal but I have some questions, well just one, in fact : do you think your body can decide the right weight for it (I nearly wrote "him"....) even if it doesn't seem reasonable ?

I am 1.62m, 48kgs so 14kgs below my height minus 1m with huge boobies with a E cup, which is now absolutely ridiculous, by the way. People who used to know me "before" are shocked and even ask if I am sick, which can be upsetting, but I can understand how they feel. The last time I was this weight I was about 14 I think. I can wear clothes I wore when I was 20, except for a dress because of my huge boobs. I can't button it up

Next step, get rid of the stretch marks !

Happy New Year Manders. Jeez. I wonder what you would weigh without your bazookers in tow?

You are 2cm taller than me, yet I'm hovering at 60kg and an A cup. I can only imagine.......

It's probably because you have never dieted before, your body is happy at this weight. Let it settle for a few months and see what happens.

Apparently it takes a while for the skin to catch up, so keep eating fat and veggies. Buy coconut or bio oil and rub in.....

In the meantime, you might have inspired me NOT to weigh until Valentine's Day. Big razzers to all those daily weighers

Manderley how can anyone make fun or laugh at you for staying the same weight that's absolutely brilliant
I'm sure there is a "happy weight" that your body likes but for you its early days and go with caution now for a while because you did state you're underweight and you want to give your body time to accept and adapt, but please make sure that you do stop losing because there are loads of skimmers who don't know when to STOP I'm not suggesting that's you because I feel you're more sensible than that, so move into the year with caution just for now. ♥Happy New Year ♥

@Sue.Q, one could make fun of me because my question can be ridiculous or a bit out of order as there are much bigger problems than to be 2 kgs underweight.... You're right, I don't want to lose anymore, I want to gain these 2 kilos, in fact, that's why it's my goal for Valentine's Day. I will do my 2 fasts a week because I need that routine but I'll eat normally the other days. I had a 4 courses meal today, won't eat tonight, of course, but it's only because I won't be hungry a few hours after eating that much food and I don't want to be sick
@rawkaren, maybe you're right, it's because I never dieted before, who knows... I don't feel weak, drink 3l water a day, eat a lot of vegs and good fat, a few proteins, not so low carbs (but reasonable) and moisturize with olive oil (don't have coconut oil just now)

All women in my family have big boobs. I may decide, later, to have a breast reduction but it won't be before 2 years anyway.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, you are indeed an inspiration.

I wish you a very Happy New Year and hope it brings you everything you deserve

Happy New Year to everyone, your support is truly amazing

Manderley, I look like a joke.

An elderly woman streaked (ran naked) in front of two old men. 'What was she wearing?' said one. 'I don't know, but it needed ironing!'

You are one of the most inspirational people here and long may it last x

... And get that whole lemon (and some spices) on that chicken breast tomorrow, girl!!

Live life with zest @Silverdarling

Thank you so much for you kind words but, believe me, I am a handful of a woman and far less than perfect. Even have a hell of a temper, always want to have the last word, a neat freak, a control freak who think that objects have a soul and so can't throw out anything.....

I think all that counting calories and questions are part of the "get used to your new body" phase. Can you imagine that the last time I was slim was 25 years ago, after that I was the chubby one (and it's the nicest way I have been called, believe me), I had a "sister" who hated my gut (and we have no relationship now because I cut all the ties), was the skinny and the beautiful one and was always happy to point the finger on that ? I don't know if you remember, there was a post where somebody asked for our goals and I said that my biggest goal was to go the my "sister"'s door one day, with skinny jeans on, ring her bell, see her jaw drop and be on my way. I won't do it. I don't see the point anymore.

A lot of people say that when you are skinny everything is much better, you are sexier, more confident, even happier. If only it could be so simple.... I understand just now that the hardest job is not to lose the weight, it's to deal with your body after you have lost the weight and to not freak out because you may gain the weight back if you are not careful. Because it may be why I can't put on those 2 kilos back on right now, the fear that it will go overboard and not be able to control it.

So much thinking in the morning, I think a cuppa will be the best remedy right now

[carieoates]

Get that cuppa down you now, you must be exhausted. I can understand you not wanting to put the weight back on. My sis is a very toned size 10 and with added "paid for" boobies. I feel as if I'm slowly sneaking up on her and when we meet she says wow you're looking good. She always looks good in whatever she wears and I always comment about nice things she wears thinking they're designer and then she says oh it's from tescos!
I haven't told my family what I'm doing, just my hubs, daughter, a few work mates and my mate who introduced me to it.
With regards to your sister I really feel for you, and cannot imagine how you're feeling right now, is a reconciliation completely undo able on your terms?
We are all different and you will know when you are ready for anything.
But you have been a success and an inspiration to many of us and that's something to be very proud of.
