The FastDay Forum

Test

The challenge will only be about losing some weight - how we all do it is completely up to us! I'm sure no two of us are the same..so it's all about the mutual encouragement and support - as usual!

I'll post up the challenge later today hopefully...once I've thought what to call it...and I will start mine on Monday 12th (I always but always start on Mondays, ha ha!). That way, we can get the word out this week and hope that we get some interest. I know other people weigh in on other days of the week - and that's just fine...because we are challenging ourselves - not each other! So - you can all set your own parameters. All I want is to be there for you all to listen, encourage and cheer!

Right, I'll sign off now and get thinking....

Have a good day everyone! Xx

Howdy folks!
I'm starting the 8 week cycle all over again today
Yesterday i finished the first cycle and lost a total of 2 stone six lbs in 56 days!
It was easier than i expected and i didnt go over 800 cals/ 50 Carbs once! In fact i was often well under those amounts
I didnt exercise, tho i tried to keep moving more, and i didnt drink enough water. This time will improve on those areas. Not sure i will be quite as strict tho..if i go over 800/ 50 once or twice,its ok..get my body confused!
A big Thanks to Nutty for sharing her 8 week journey with us..without her i wd never have given BSD a try
And to Bean and Phyl,Dee, johns and others who have kept me going!
I hope this post sticks..i tried endless times to post yesterday but just cdnt!
I saw loveswalking over on the bsd forum,she isnt able to log in but hopefully Moogie can help her and she will be back soon!
Off to have my tea now,back tomoz to catch up on everything! X

That's FABULOUS @CandiceMarie!!! You must be so thrilled. Well done!! I think your plan sounds great.

I saw Loveswalking created a new account -- I approved her. I just can't remember her new moniker.

Hi Everyone. I'm back from a holiday in Corsica, land of le carb, and a flying visit to Montreal. I dare not weigh but I expect there has been plenty of damage.

So it is back tuit today and I have closed on 700 cals and 60g of carbs. Not bad considering I just got back only this morning.

@tracieknits. Those photos of you and Bruce look amazing and I'm sure you will treasure them. You look gawjus!

@candicemarie. Good luck for round two. Do you want to do the same again?

@moogie, the thanks link works ok on a pc when you click on it, but I can't get it to work on a mobile device (ipad)

Sorry Karen, I'm being blonde (and it's been a taxing day), what link? Xx

Hi everyone: It's me Loveswalking, I had to change my log-in name and password in order to get back on this site. I could not get on here since it was changed.

I would love to join in on the challenge. I had to restart the BSD because I ended up going away for a week and then had some company after that. I started back on Aug.27 and lost 4 lbs. my first week back on it. So Sat. is my weigh in day.

I see everyone is doing great on it so far....

I'll check in tomorrow to see if the site will let me back on again.

Yay you made it back here! Wooooohoooooooooo! XX

CandiceMarie: Wow 34 lbs. in your first 8 weeks. That's super amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hello everyone, I'm back (well nearly) . Great idea about running the next challenge Pernelle @hazelnut20. It's not as much work as it may appear and will help you to focus as it did me. Count me in and thanks so much for thinking of me, it's just what I need to get me back on track. I've tried getting back on track a few times over the last few weeks, but not managed it yet. I've only regained 3lbs so not too bad at all considering how I've been eating. On other plans I would have regained loads more in half the time. I too will officially weigh in on Monday the 12th and start the challenge from then. Will have to have a think about a target as I plan to do BSD. As for a name, I love The accountabuddies, something Shelley @johns called us in the last challenge. The timing of the challenge is great for me. I've just booked to go to Morocco in mid November with some work mates. Can't wait, always wanted to go, never thought I would Anyone else been to Fez? Not sure if I'll love it or hate it.

I hope we see you in the next challenge @candicemarie, you'll bump our star count right up Well done and good luck on starting round 2, you go girl

Bye for now, see you all on Monday if not before

Hi @happyitsworking it's yr bsd pal yowzer heehee! X

Phew! For a minute there I thought I was never going to make it back!!

Welcome back Karen @Rawkaren - hope your next weigh-in won't be TOO bad. Have a thought for me - I'm off to Canada for FOUR weeks (yikes!!)

Oh dear Loveswalking, its going to take me a while to get used to @happyitsworking - I do wish peeps would come up with more simple names!!

Just off to work. Felt really ill yesterday so I hope this morning isn't going to kill me - sigh!

Have a good day everyone!

the 12th sounds great!

I'm already back to 199.9 this morning, so only about 2 pounds of Paris damage to go before I'm back where I was at the end of August.

@Nursebean I'm sure you'll be fine for four weeks in Canada. You can do this! It will be the best time of year to visit for sure. It's going to be lovely with fall colors. I hope you have a great time

I'm definately not joining in this challenge *, no sirree, not me, er-er, not a challenger here.

*Hoping to fool my biome there's nothing going on so I can sneak up on it.#

#Biome not having it, showed me pecan and maple cheesecake and I fell for it!!!

Starts next Monday you say, ah then all is not lost but I'm really NOT on this challenge at all, no.

Nursebean: You can call me anything you want to Happy, etc........LOL

I'm in too for the challenge but have a holiday planned at beginning of October for 2 weeks so it will be a challenge indeed!
