DAY 13 QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA NFD
whoops…. too much wine Friday night left me with a headache Saturday! So, sluggish all day. Lack of exercise in any way shape or from has seen the numbers on the scale go up! However a quiet night last night so feeling energetic today. Seafood festival is on today so will mosey on down to that for some fresh seafood and a long walk. Should be a low cal day today and a fast day tomorrow.
Hope the wedding went well @steve toon taxi driver!!
Cheers for a great weekend all.

Days 11 and 12, USA, Missouri Ozarks, NFD(s)

Busy, busy, busy indoors and out but staying the course!

Hello to all.

Happy weekend to all!
I will do CD this weekend.Yesterday was a good FD! I am ready for next week. Thanks to all who take the time to write. I love it!!!

Day 12 Massachusetts USA NFD This week trying three 800 calorie days (including today) and one FD. I know I’ll end the week at the 6000 calorie mark, my plan for all of August. Curious to see if it works better than what I was doing. Stay tuned.

Norway, NFD

@onahealthyhigh You might be right, I should maybe try to eat something more substantial on FDs… the last time I did this I ate low fat cottage cheese and lots of raw vegetables, and I don’t think I have this reaction then . But his time I have a lot more weight to lose, to I guess I am a bit impatient 😂 But you are right, this is NOT a diet but a WOL! I will try a new and different FD tomorrow 🙂 Thank you 🙂

Day 13 UK NFD

Yesterday was a fast day after all as I had forgotten that I needed to move things around after an earlier reshuffle because of the weather last week. After that I am the same weight I was at the end of July. So two weeks going sideways, but at least not up. It is taking three fast days and short eating windows every day just not to gain. No wonder I had become so enormous! Stress and hormones not helping… Still, I need to remember there is around 90lbs less of me than there was 9 months ago, a plateau can’t take that away from me.

Day 13 Ireland NFD

Had a very late night Friday drinking wine with my girlfriends so was off track yesterday. I confess to eating two, yes two, Cadburys Crunchie bars plus a packet of Tayto cheese and onion crisps in one sitting. 😮😮
Hangover food. Not a good result on the scale today 😡

So today I am on a 16:8 but will eat up to my TDEE as its Sunday and my day off. Pocket winos…I am allowing myself wine (despite Friday night) but back on the wagon again tomorrow. 🍷

I have also given myself shin splints which is agony. I walk every day but had started to do a couple of 30 second runs as high intensity training…..by Wednesday I noticed pain in my shin. As I work in a plant nursery and have to wear steel toe capped boots and I am on my feet all day, the pain got worse. So I am resting today with ice on my foot/shin. No walking today.

Day 12 UK NFD
DAY 13 UK FD (800 calories)

Out all day yesterday so could not post. Will aim for controlled FD today and fit in further 2 FD this week.

Day 13 – SA – NFD

I’ve been flat on my back with flu for the past 8 days. No fasting, apart from the first day of flu when I felt too nauseous to eat anything. I stood on the scale this morning and I’m down 6.7 lbs / 3.1 kg since I weighed myself about two weeks ago.

I’m going to aim for one fast day this week, most likely Thursday. I also want to start cleaning up my diet again and get rid of foods that I know I don’t thrive on. Grains and sugar are the main culprits there.

Day13 UK NFD

Busy day yesterday, cleaning cottage for new guests. Our first “fortnighters” they not only brought the dog but their elderly cat as well! As usual they are a lovely family – we’ve been so lucky with our guests since deciding to rent out the cottage.
As a reward for the hard work we walked to the pub (got the celebration dance on the Fitbit for hitting 10000 steps on the way home), my OH went for the steak and chips option and I had sea bass, it was lovely and under 500 cals. Pocket winos 🍷I actually did it – yesterday was first glass of wine since last Sunday.

Looking at Fitbit stats reminded me that I’ve lost 14 lbs since I got it on 17th June. That’s a stone in 2 months which included birthday celebrations, several Anniversary celebrations and a cruise holiday. Sometimes I get discouraged by the slow pace but that sort of put it into perspective for me. It shows this WOL works.

Day 13 USA NFD

Day 13, London, UK, NFD

Great FD yesterday, lots of melon, water and salad to get me through the day, I’m feeling proud today and it never fails to surprise me just how easy ‘some’ FDs can be!!!

Keep the faith people!!!!!

Day 13 Netherlands 16:8

Enjoying the sunshine and saving my calories fora bar-b-q later.

Day 13 Calories for is USA NFD

Too much eating over the weekend. Today is going to have to be a better day!

Day 13 – UAE – NFD

Day 12–NFD
Day 13–NFD

Cooking today: mujadara with onion, lentils and rice, and tomato sauce with our garden tomatoes. Maybe something else…

Day 13 Newcastle UK 🇬🇧 NFD
183lb on my weigh in day 1lb above goal might have something to do with the large amount of alcohol I had yesterday see where I am mid week.
I’m never drinking again lol anyone else ever said these words 😣.
Heavy rain yesterday but it dryed up and the sun came out an hour before the wedding started which helped make it a lovely day.

Day 1, Edinburgh UK, FD
Just starting out on 5:2, had all 500 calories at 6pm, smoked salmon and egg salad with strawberries as dessert.
Lots of water and camomile tea throughout the day. Long walk with dogs in the afternoon.
Feeling surprisingly energetic and not tempted at all……….pleased with this start as I was quite nervous about all day fast.
Going to read about HIT now 🙂

Day 14/ FD/Melbourne Australia

Yeah, first fast day in two weeks and I’m really looking forward to it. Starting the day with a black coffee and will finish this evening with a huge bowl of chicken and vegetable soup. Lots of tea, water and a cup of miso will see me through the day. Planning to do 2 FDs this week but due to commitments later in the week will have to do a b2b, only the second one I’ll have done since starting 3 years ago next month!

@carolmscotland welcome. I love the energised feeling after a fast day. Enjoy the journey.

@annemarilyn nothing is more beautiful than rain after a dry spell.

@tuesdays child and @metuatatu and @okeydokey wishing you good health

@steve taxi driver sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed yourself. Yes, I’ve said that many times. The longest I went was 6 months!

@keetseel sounds yum. I’ve never heard of mujadeera, I’ll have to look it up.

@awilson hopefully the gain will pass. Probably water weight or food in transit. As a serial weigher, weighing myself several times a day, I learned to understand the daily fluctuations in weight. The only weight I tracked was the one after my 2nd FD. Overall the trend was always downwards despite daily fluctuations.

@saffy I know, we all want it gone today, but slow and steady is great. I can still recall the morning I hopped on the scale and saw my goal weight for the first time in years. Reaching goal had taken 7 months of steadily losing 1 to 1.5 lb per week. I look back now and know if I had been frustrated with my progress I’d still weigh 74kg or more. Hang in there, one fast day at a time.

@songbirdme enjoy your time with your beautiful family

Pocket winos I made it. I had a small beer on Saturday and a glass of wine on Sunday. Feeling good. So my goal is no wine till Saturday.

@fatrabbit Sorry to hear you’re feeling stressed. Is it finding your maintainance level or is life getting in the way? We’re missing your delightful tales from the sanctuary. You have so much support here so if there is anything we can do, just ask.

Onwards and downwards. Have a great day.

Day 14 AUS NFD

It’s a new week, let’s do this.

Day 14 – Tokyo, Japan – NFD 82.7kg

My goal this week will be to burn off 1 kg of fat. That is a bit extreme but I have about a week in which I can do extra fasting. I’m going to start tomorrow and just see if I can’t make it 100 hours. 100 hours won’t be enough to burn 1kg but it would be getting me into the ballpark. Probably can burn ~200 grams of fat per 24 hours once it gets going. I believe I have ~7kg of fat that I can easily afford to lose.

2nd post Thanks @ducks_d. I’ve taken the liberty of adding those who have committed to a fast day on the spreadsheet. Please add (or delete) your name. The more the merrier!

Pocketeers for Monday the 14th. Please copy and add your name if you’re fasting.
