The FastDay Forum

Update for last two weeks.
Last Mon weigh in - lost 0.5 lb
To days weigh in - 3 lb lost.
This takes me now into normal bmi 24.74 and 1.5 lbs off my target.
So hopefully will get there next week or the week after.
Good luck everybody x

Great result! Well done you You must be pleased.

Fantastic, well done!

Weigh in this morning and...... 1.5 lbs off which means 21lbs lost and got to target. So happy.
I am still going to carry on with 2 fasts a week as I would like to lose a little bit more. I'm not going to set a target, just see where I feel happy.

YAY! need a fanfare smilie
well done that woman!

Great! Wouldn't it be great if some bells and whistles went off when we hit target!

Well done crunchie, we started at the same time and you have reached your goal. I have been really slacking off since Easter and your success has fired me up to go back to how I was eating in Feb and March. Congratulations!

Thank you everyone. So far have found it really easy. People are now asking me and commenting on my weight loss. So, I am raving about 5.2. I am getting mixed reactions but to the negative people, am I bothered, no, do I care, no!! I feel good.
I am carrying on with 5.2, maybe another 7lbs off before I start to maintain. I have 10 weeks before I go on holiday, so the plan is to carry on until then. I was going to say that i will be relaxed about it but I have been relaxed for the last 13 weeks

Congratulation, crunchie! What a great achievement! You and I started at the same time and I am about half a pound behind you. I only have two and three quarter pounds to get to my ten stone, seven pound target. Like you, I will then decide whether to go for a little more loss. I will probably aim to maintain on 6:1 as that is always what I find difficult. I'm a great dieter but even better at putting it all back on!

Anyway, enough about me. You have done really, really, well and I hope that you are feeling very proud! (I would give you a gold star smilie but I have no idea how to do it!)

Well done StowgateResident, what a fab achievement I should have several gold awards for getting the weight off, putting weight back on!! The hard part is maintaining. I plan to do 6.1. A few years ago (approx 13) I got to 9 stone 9. I also became very obsessive about what I was eating. I remember looking in the mirror and realising that i was very boney. I didn't like the look. So I am aiming to stop before I get to that point. For the 1st time in my life I am not obsessing (only at being on this site!). I am not obsessing about what food I can or cannot eat.
I had a glance at a SW forum yesterday, one of the ladies trackers showed the same weight loss as approximately 2 years ago with still several pounds to go. She also put that she had blown the diet this week, out for several meals ect. I 1. Wanted to post 5.2 on her diary and 2. It made me realize that i have come a long way in my dieting journey, no longer depriving myself and no longer on a diet, living a normal life (well as normal as it gets!)
Anyway, keep going and well done. This time we will both be able to maintain.

Well done Crunchie.
Fantastic news.
