Day 6 UK FD 🌈

Hello,

I’m in the pocket today. FD, usually a work day for me but I have 2 days off so it’s going to be a gym day. Waiting in for a delivery, have my gym stuff on so once that arrives I’m going. Need to keep busy.

I am drinking warm water and lemon all day, then will have a meal later, chicken ready to cook.

WW (waist whittle) exercise done. I don’t hula hoop so use kettle bell. See the result at end of the month hopefully.

Have a good day all, one for all for one my Pocketeers! ⚔️

Day 6 FD completed successfully down under. Will pop my fellow Pocketeers list under my pillow in moral support. Together we are stronger.

Day 6, USA, Missouri Ozarks, FD

Current Weight 142.6, Below goal weight of 145.

Back to the first of three fasting days – from 7 p.m. at night until 7 p.m. the following night with only a 500 calorie meal each evening. I love fasting because it easily answers the questions, Hmm – what shall I eat for breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack, etc. etc. etc., hmm – that would be nothing.

Been getting in all my exercise and water, feeling great.

Hoping the same for each of you.

Day 6…..Florida…… FD

I way over did it in the food category yesterday, so, I am really looking forward to today fast. I’m not upset about going overboard, I knew I was doing it and did it anyways. To top it all off, I didn’t do my ACV either, that one I actually kind of forgot about it.
But my belly is a bit upset at me this morning, but I know for me sometimes, I’ve just got to have a aww screw it day. Yesterday, was that day. I do not think it was a matter of me giving up or even self sabotaging. I think it was just a serving of reminder of why, I do what I do.
Sometimes, I truly forget all the aches and pains, the bloated belly, the tiredness that my old diet gave me. Believe me, it’s not that I missed my old diet because I normally don’t even think about it.
But, I do feel renewed this morning and quite determined to get back to what has served me so well the last couple months.

Last night after it was all said and done, I did go back and remind myself off where I came from. I put on a pair of pants, that in all actuality should be given away. They are just way to big. I feel bad about giving them away, as I had just bought them a week or two before my diet change. Then, I read through some of my earliest posts. I weighed a whopping 165.6lbs. Reading over them, I really could see the fat girl in the room. 20lbs gone and the fat girl is gone and the real me stands before you.

I feel wonderful, sexy and confident. I’m enjoying shopping again and I’m so enjoying the sexy little underwear, I’ve bought myself in the last couple weeks. No more granny panties to hide the fat!
I have also returned to do something, I love. I went back to tanning! I do know, it’s not good for me but I love the heat on my skin and the smell of a nice tanning lotion! I haven’t tanned since I was in my late 20’s, the last time, I felt sexy and confident.

Okay, I think, I’m just rambling now and I may have gotten a bit of track as well. Welcome to my Monday.
Pocketers…… you have been put in my pocket, stay safe and have resolve we can do this. We are a team, strong, powerful and capable!

Peace be with you!

Day 6 Second Post

Phew made it to lunchtime! Eating a small prawn salad to set me up for the afternoon. Keep going today everyone, you CAN do it.

Day 6– FD — Virginia, USA

I’ve been looking for the ACV drink recipe someone posted before but can’t find it. Please post if you have it handy! 🙂

WE CAN DO IT!

Day 6- Georgia, USA – FD: Coffee and Tea for me today. Down 3 lbs. so far. Gonna try for 5 more this month.

Day 6 – USA(Illinois) NFD

Terrific FD yesterday has gotten me back under my maintenance weight, down to 159.4 this morning. Avoided food until around 5 p.m. and had crab salad and some 7 layer salad. Figured that to be about 450 calories. Forgot to eat my daily apple. Oh well.

Today I will be controlled. Silver Sneakers class this morning and Choral Society tonight.

Indeed it would be wonderful to visit all my fellow musicians, organists and singers. Perhaps we can post something to YouTube of us that we could ‘see’ each other? Let’s think about it!

@bert – I too tried on a pair of my favorite spring pants from last year. They fell off! The waist was at least 5″ too big. I have decided to give them along with lots of other spring items to Goodwill, and I’ve also ordered a new similar pair from Chico’s. The old ones were 16’s and new ones are 12’s. YEAH! My music contest pay from Saturday is helping my wardrobe. 🙂

@curlytot – I am with you on my resolve on FD’s. Been that way since the beginning. It’s those dern NFD’s that can be a big downfall. That is why I have stayed here on these challenges to keep from going completely off the track after all this hard work.

@NellaJimenez – I put 2 tablespoons in WARM (not hot) filtered water. Make sure to shake up the vinegar to get it well mixed. Usually I like to add 1 T. of honey as well. For inflammation help they suggest 1/2 t. of turmeric with a little cayenne pepper. Lately I have been leaving them off though as that adds too much flavor I dislike.

PocketFasters! You’re strong and capable, and so many of you banding together is terrific!

Onward and downward!

Thankyou for adding me to the pocketeers, wow what a great list I can feel the supporting vibes from around the world!! Together we can do this!

I’m doing well just a cup of tea splash of soya milk, green tea with cider vinegar and sparkling mimeral water. I think I’ll go for the hot water and lemon option next! I’ve kept busy, cleaned the house and done the ironing! Next is a visit to MIL and the dentist. Currently my OH has his lunch of pate and toast, then I see a slice of the fruit cake I made yesterday (sugar free, but he doesn’t know!!) and a rock bun also made yesterday!
I will have chicken and a big salad later.
Good luck everyone stick with us!

Day 6 Surrey, UK FD

Just read today’s posts. So inspiring. Monday is obviously a very popular day for fasting!!

I’m having a bit of a stressful work day so am doubly pleased with myself for sticking to the FD so far. Just having half a carton of skinny soup which is going down very well!! I’m planning to have the other half just before I leave work at 5, walk 3.5 miles to do a yoga class then home for some poached salmon and salad. Sounds great so I really hope I make it.

I’m still planning on 3 FDs this week for the first time so fingers crossed.

Thank you all world wide for the support.

Day 6|Toronto|FD planned
An FD evolved yesterday so I will try a Back to Back today for the first time. Sleepless last night after the FD so not 100% this morning. Best to all.

Thank you @at for adding me to the list of fasters. I really want to make it through. I always get hungry mid afternoon so must keep busy.

Cannot shift horrible headache. Cant remember who mentioned it above, but could it be from sugar withdrawal? I know once I eat evening meal it will probably disappear.

C’mon Monday fasters. We can do it!

@at 😊✨⚡️✨🌈🌟
Day 6 – Pennsylvania USA- FD

@erika45
My daughter and I both get headaches if we haven’t had about 2.5 full glasses of water a day. Especially If we have coffee. They say to drink 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of coffee additional to the extra 2.5 cups of water.

Also withdrawal from sugar always give us headaches.

I like to start my fast in the morning, because the body goes into fast mode over night. By the morning or afternoon any excess sugar issues seems to “burn away”. When I go into fasting mode I also have less dizziness and headaches. Walking will kick in the fat burning; ketosis into gear for me and I end up feeling much better and calmer than if I stayed on the “sugar rollercoaster”. Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad I can eat what I want on NFD but I always go through a withdrawal period. (Withdrawing from sugar and carbs, the sugar withdrawal gives me a headache for a while. The Carbs cause me to want to eat more🙄.

I hope the water and possibly waking might help you as it does me.✨😊🤗

Day 6 Monday — Colorado USA– NFD

Had terrific foods over weekend. Also enjoyed some red wine & local craft beers while dining out with OH.

After being strict with calorie intake during week, I consider Sat/Sunday a re-set for my body, “See? Look! No famine going on here. Plenty of food galore! Feel free to release your fat stores!” 😃 Hope it works!

Will be Fasting Tues/Thurs plus careful again throughout Mon-Friday. Also, picking up activity levels. Happy to see scales are no longer trending upward, edging back down again!!

Have a great day, Fellow Fasters

I am striving for “PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION.”
And before eating, I ask myself, “WILL THIS GET ME CLOSER TO MY GOALS?”

Day 6 – USA – NFD

Hello all! I forget who asked for a link to my menus for FDs, but unfortunately, I am not tech savvy enough to transfer it from my Microsoft Word document to this forum…if anyone has an understanding of how to do it, I’d be glad to post it. Good luck to all the pocketeers today!

Day 6, FD, USA
Standing strong with my fellow Monday fasters. Started day with hot yoga, so ready to face day.
Erika45: try an extra cuppa tea or coffee for those headaches. The caffeine sometimes kills them for me, along with tons of water.😊

Say 6- Georgia, USA- FD:

First time in a long time that I’ve posted twice in a day, but I’m feeling a little off today and I needed to hold myself accountable. I’m feeling like breaking my fast today. For the first time I’ve felt like this in a long time. Not sure why? I think I’m doing a lot right now and the way I normally make myself feel at ease is with food. Gonna try and stay strong. I’ve planned a 500 cal meal for dinner. So I have that to look forward too. Mondays are usually easy for me. I look at it as a jump start and a way to start clean for the week. But today feels different somehow. Okay, I feel like I’m rambling so Ill stop right here. Have a great day everyone!

Day 6, Dunsborough West Aust, FD
Despite it being a public holiday today, I did my usual Monday fast. Felt like having something kinda snacky mid afternoon so entered some cracker biscuits into MFP, but by the time I got around to eating them I actually didn’t feel like them. Isn’t there a saying that goes… drink, distract, delay… and the feeling goes away. It worked!
