Lovely to hear from you both, @carieoates and @MerryMelb. I should have been fasting today but feel absolutely shattered and couldn't face the day without more carbs than I allow myself on a fast day, so I re-scheduled for tomorrow! Love this WOL. Good luck to those who are fasting today though.
I have had a busy couple of weeks and I think that is why I am feeling so tired now.
I have been popping in to read other people's posts but not really had time to write any. I came back from our cruise on May 25th
eight pounds heavier than when I went (and then I was carrying four pounds more than my target weight!).
The good news is that with a couple of fasts a week and more mindful eating on my non-fast days, eight days later the eight pounds were gone!
it must have been basically fluid to have gone so fast but it has made me feel a lot more positive.
Since then I have been fasting a couple of times a week to try and reduce the extra four pounds over target and when I weighed yesterday I had just got back to my 'wiggle room' weight of 149 pounds. Two pounds to go until back to target, so that should be possible - except that I am away for the next two weekends! Never mind, I don't have a fixed date in mind so I shall just keep going until I am back where I want to be. 147 pounds - here I come!
