Average deviation from goal = +2.56 lbs
No of days at < 10000 steps = 0
Only dairy products consumed at home = butter, cream cheese, brie.

We're a third of the way through now, only 54 days to go.

well done @barbarita.

OMG YOU just scared me.. that means only 50 plus days to get ready for Christmas. eek.

Hello Supa Challengers. It is half term here and I started the week really well, fasting while driving to visit my parents and I hit a nice low weight. However the rest of the week I've not been so well behaved and I am up a little to 9st 1lb. Never mind back to work next and back to proper fasting.

Thatsfab news @maggieee and i love yr signature and yr photo's gorgeous..you have such a lovely lovely smile and you look like the kind warmhearted and goodhumoured person we could all do with as a shoulder to lean on! X

Crumbs....@CandiceMarie - thank you

This photo was taken recently, it has taken me ages to put up one of me that I am ok with. Not so long ago, I needed a shoulder to cry on, but with some help, a lot of self-talking, eating well, exercising, great friends as well as online friends, I am feeling the best I have in years. I am in a good place at the moment, and loving it.

once again, thank you. xx

Number 33 checking in: I've had two good fasts this week and am currently down 2lbs, which is the kick start that I needed after months of not committing to this.
Will be attending a Halloween party tomorrow and so my plan is to fast again on Sunday.
I think the best way for me to stick to my fast is to not eat until Dinnertime.
Hope you are all doing well this week and have a fab weekend everyone

@maggiee thats great news! so happy for you xx
Well done everyone for losses big,small or maintaining..xx chin up to non losers,next week will be better xx

I had a couple of days off this week - wasn't too naughty but 3lb crept back on - not fair is it!

Anyway - back on it yesterday so hopefully will lose those again soon!

Sorry team .... half-term 'babysitting' .... too much food and not enough exercise.
7 day steps 51306
0 x Body Pump
0 x Swim
Gain of 300g this week (but still 1.0kg loss total since start)
I'm actually surprised it is not worse.

well done to you @smallerrose Great effort. Keep going strong

Member 32 reporting in. I'm stalled at 152.6 after my last fast on Friday. Very frustrating. I'm not losing any inches, either.... not sure what's going on. My activity has been slightly lower than usual, with my daily step average under 9000, so I'll boost that up this week. Also, I am done with my post competition week off, so it's back to the heavy lifting 3x/week.

My "normal" days seem to be increasing in calories somewhat. I'm eating to hit a number, rather than to hunger, but I just really don't get hungry except on fast days, so I'm not sure how to work around that. Today is a fast day, so I guess I'll reassess tomorrow morning after I weigh and measure (and report in). I assumed I'd be around 150 by now. Nothing to be done but keep on keeping on, though. I'm not interested in dieting 7 days per week.

I'm maintaining my weight and fasting twice a week as planned but need to work of my eating window on non fasting days. I originally set it as 4 hours but I'm thinking 6 hours is more realistic.
